Necessity is the mother of invention.
That is a cliché that has earned its keep as I see examples of it every single day.
In the current context of climate change and intense heat waves, the electrical system and power grid in many parts of the world, and even in the United States, has had trouble coping.
Many people, especially outside of the United States, are reverting back to traditional and ancient methodologies that have been used both in-home design and supplementing airflow through various natural techniques.
What’s Old is New again. Ain’t that something?
In Oaxaca, Mexico, it has gotten really tough:
According to the BBC: “Like many other Oaxacans, Ortiz and her husband went to the US in search of better opportunities so they could send money back home. “You can’t have a life unless someone sends money from abroad,” Ortiz says.
The mountains of Oaxaca are harsh and unforgiving. The Zapotec indigenous community of Xixovo, in Santa Maria Velato, is located around 2,000m (6,500ft) above sea level and a two hour drive away from the state’s capital. Dry, dusty slopes and yellowed crops decorate the landscape. The scattered fields of agave are a reminder that even in the most challenging conditions, life still finds a way.”

In India, for millenia folks have been using clay pots that are filled each morning with water and during the day evaporates slowly providing a natural cooling process.
The water filled clay vessels, also serve to pull hot air in as part of the basic physics that are at work.

Again, what’s Old is New:
“For many, respite from the relentless heat has come from an improbable source: the earth. Special pots made from clay, when combined with water, can be used to chill drinking water and the surrounding air. They are helping millions of households that don’t have air conditioning and refrigerators stay cool. Companies are also creating earthen building materials that are better at keeping out heat than bricks and mortar, drawing on knowledge that has helped keep people cool for thousands of years.
“We have lost track of traditional systems that have worked for us in the past,” says Monish Siripurapu, the founder of CoolAnt. His company is working to revive these preindustrial cooling techniques at scale, creating clay-based cladding and cooling units that can be installed in both homes and businesses.”
In China homes have been designed with “SkyWells” especially in the southern parts of the country. SkyWells are all different and vary in “size and design vary from region to region, it is almost always rectangular and located in the core of a house. It is either enclosed by rooms on four sides or three sides plus a wall. Some large houses have more than one skywell.
They are relatively common in historic residences in large swathes of southern and eastern China, such as Sichuan, Jiangsu, Anhui and Jiangxi. Some of the best-preserved can be found in Huizhou (徽州), a historical region that spreads between modern-day Anhui and Jiangxi.”

Other areas of human lives have also embraced more traditional practices in the realm of self healing and self-care.
I first learned about the width and breath of herbal and medicinal natural knowledge in Mexico, talking with what some people call an old Bruja or a Curandera, for thousands of years has utilized natural plants and herbs to cultivate and provide solves bombs, potions and healing remedies that have been passed down from generation to generation.
Every part of the world, they also grow naturally different plants, mushrooms, cactuses that provide hallucinogenic or psychedelic experiences when ingested in different methodologies.
So either God has made repeated mistakes all over the world by accidentally placing these hallucinogenic property plants and herbs within arms of humans since the beginning of time.
Yeah, right.
If you call God, a dummy, one more time I’m coming after your ass! Ha ha!!!
We even have the American Psychological Association writing about it here”:
https://www.apa.org/monitor/2024/06/psychedelics-as-medicine
“Larger studies have also supported the benefits of psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression, and researchers suspect this drug could be the next in line for FDA approval. Evidence is also mounting that psychedelics, which typically produce an altered state of consciousness, could help people suffering from substance use disorders, racial trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and other conditions.”
What’s Old is New.
Again.
All love…..
The funny thing is even the Coaching that we’re doing today, around Present Moment Awareness, and connecting to breath and helping to reduce anxiety and improve performance, many of these concepts were found in the teachings of the Zen Masters in China going back over 1000 years.
We are just using science and professional feedback to supplement some of these ancient teachings and because I like to impress folks, I use words like neuroscience and plasticity.
Many of us are also realizing that we can create our own church without walls and practice our own faith without necessarily having to visit a building somewhere or rely on someone else to interpret scripture or the teachings of our chosen spiritual or theological teachers.
Reclaiming some autonomy around our ability to connect with God is very important as it empowers us to trust our intuition, and to feel more engaged in our meditations and prayers when we are connected to something bigger than ourselves.
This could be very disappointing to like the Catholic Church, who somehow over the course of the last few thousand years have become the largest private landowner on earth.
All the major established religions and even Scientology have gotten in on massive real estate holdings and have accumulated massive wealth, purportedly all in the name of helping us poor folks have a relationship with God because we’re not able to do it on our own.
Well, I call bullshit on that obviously.
God speaks to me every day and every moment which is why I’m writing this blog.
Whether you’re cooling your house, your attitude or connecting to a higher power, you have a hell of a lot more ability, autonomy, talents, and god given gifts than you could ever imagine.
Your job TODAY is to get comfortable with stillness so you can listen to all of the beautiful messages you are receiving. This is your Compass that will guide you and connect you to the way you can pursue your personal greatness today.
Nothing wrong with the old school, there’s a lot of wisdom found in the days before technology and reconnecting to things like our breath and in the process, Nature and Creation.
I’m very grateful for both technology and the ancient teachings because together they help us learn and grow and it’s all just part of my Attitude of Gratitude.
EVERY DAY:
Love
and
Gratitude
