Hi Nickie:
I, too, felt a lot of loving energy with this Mandala. I used it tonight, as instructed, hopefully with many others, to send healing light and energy to the area, and particularly the water.
With regard to "Pono", my sense from my trance Source has been much the same. I have been advised not to continue watching this on TV, though, as I become easily overwhelmed by the whole thing. Better for me to concentrate my healing efforts towards those who are now struggling to survive
The Source has also indicated that many people will actually come out ahead of this, as the shame of how they've previously been held back has now been revealed for the world to see. Some will probably give up entirely, but most will eventually have opportunities to turn things around for themselves that they would probably never have had, if not for Katrina.
I felt many souls tonight, physical and non-physical, engaged in joint meditation and energy, and I do believe there will be a noticeable difference in how this area recovers because of this joint effort. I would encourage everyone reading this to continue sending that energy, using the Mandala as a focal point, to continue the work pushed forward tonight.
Namaste,
Unis
