Please join as many as a million people around the world in a healing meditation and prayer for those affected by Katrina.
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.)
