Thread: World-Wide "Circle" for Victims of Katrina

Hi Everyone,

I got this email I'd like to share with everyone. A time is being put aside this Sunday, September 18 for eveyone interested in joining in a world-wide prayer/meditation/positive-thought circle for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. This email came from Learning Strategies Corporation who reaches thousands of people world-wide. You don't have to be of any specific religious denomination to participate. In fact, even if you are Atheist, it is still beneficial to those afflicted for you to stop for a moment and think of positive outcomes in their behalf.

I was hoping someone with access to such a huge data base would step forward to organize such an event and I'm grateful that Learning Strategies rose to the occasion. Just imagine if the Presidents of many countries all did this! We'd have a truly different world.

Here's the email. There's a link so you can check for your country's corresponding time:



Please join as many as a million people around
the world in a healing meditation and prayer
for those affected by Katrina. Sunday,
September 18, 10:00 pm Central Daylight Time.

Meditation and prayer powerfully affect our
world in ways we may never understand. And
when two or more join together the effects are
exponential. Lives will be saved, emotional
trauma healed, families reunited, hearts
soothed, and normalcy returned. Miracles will happen.

1) Everyone will meet in meditation and prayer
at the same time on the same day. Simply
meditate or pray in your own space, and
imagine connecting with everyone else, as
described below.

Sunday - September 18, 2005

11:00 to 11:30 pm Eastern Daylight Time
10:00 to 10:30 pm Central Daylight Time
9:00 to 9:30 pm Mountain Daylight Time
8:00 to 8:30 pm Pacific Daylight Time

If you are only available for five minutes,
please do what you can.

If you cannot join us at the appointed time,
please do your meditation and prayer at any
time, and imagine your energy joining the group.

2) Consider doing the following meditation:

* Breathe slowly and deeply.

* Focus on your heart, and see your heart
filled with the beautiful, warm, golden,
healing light of the sun. Feel the limitless
healing energy of love filling your heart.
Magnify the feeling inside of you. See the
energy. Hear it.

* When you are ready, imagine all of the
people who have been affected by the
hurricane, all of those who are giving so much
to assist, each and everyone one of them
wrapped in this warm, beautiful, light of love
and healing. Imagine them perfectly restored.
Imagine them in a beautiful, loving setting,
free of any pain or sickness, happy, healthy,
their lives fully restored. Use all of your
senses. See, hear, and feel them filled with
hope, health, and happiness.

* When you are ready, feel the love energy
growing as your love and compassion joins the
love energy of millions of others around the world.

* Hold this picture for as long as you can (5
minutes, 30 minutes, one hour).

* When you close your meditation, imagine this
beautiful healing light of love expanding to
envelope the entire world, every country,
every man, woman and child. Hold this vision
and know with complete confidence, with all
your heart and soul, that this healing is
taking place and be thankful for the love of
the world.

* Express your thanks to God, Jesus Christ,
Buddha, Muhammad, your spiritual guide,
universal love energy, to that which is
appropriate and meaningful for you.

(This particular meditation was suggested by
healer and teacher Chunyi Lin, creator of
Spring Forest Qigong. Feel free to meditate or
pray in any way that is right for you.)

This is great, thanks for the heads up. I hope to be able to pass this rolclub url on to any other forums?
