Science has already proved that at the most basic level the energy of thought does influence matter. Physicists now advise that we are all made of the same energy with different vibrations. Everything you see is made up of the same energy as you; we all just vibrate at a different frequency - which gives a whole new meaning to the Beach Boys' Good Vibrations.

When we see the world and everything in it from a holistic viewpoint, our thinking does change. We find that our attitude to everything on Earth changes too. That’s when you can really expand your consciousness to realise that living things also include plants, and rocks, and man-made creations. It seems as though everything on Earth as well as plastic has a memory.

Like your mother told you, kindness counts. Try being kind to your car, and see how well she runs. Or instead of cursing that shonky supermarket trolley wheel, try sending some kindness and a thank you instead.

You can be kind everyday, in your everyday life - and how you live your everyday life is a true reflection of your spiritual practice.

When you fully expand your consciousness and feel the vast living creature that is our home, you will find it very easy to be kind to our Earth.

We have known in our hearts the interconnectedness of all things. Now we have proven it with our minds. It is time to live it with our Being.
