Prayers for Japan

The content below is from an email sent by my dear friend, DK Brainard at Words for the People asking for help with sending prayers and positive energy to Japan as they struggle in their current situation. Jim and I have a dear friend from college, Hiroshi, who is living through this first hand in Tokyo. The latest word I received from him this morning is that most of the Japanese have moved West and any non-Japanese have left. He is staying in Tokyo to stick it out and continue on with life, waiting to see what happens next.

Please join in sending your prayers...

Let's Send the Blue Light to Japan Now

Dear Friend,

If you're a friend of WFTP you probably already believe in meditation and visualization. You've probably read the studies about how groups of meditators have successfully lowered crime rates by focusing peaceful intention on a certain city. You probably believe that the only way to truly change the outer world is by working in the inner world.

You probably know that the most powerful form of prayer is not reciting a bunch of words but using words that evoke images of the desired outcome, as if it has already happened.

So, let's use our power as co-creators of this Universe to cool down reactor 2 at the Daiichi nuclear plant. You can do this in your formal meditation if you want to, but you can do it just as effectively right now. Just take a minute and imagine that you (and I and all the other people joining us in this exercise) are directing a beam, cloud, circle, spray, or blanket of cooling blue energy and settling it in over the Fukushima plant and surrounding region. (There's a map at the bottom of this page on BBC.com if you want a little help visualizing where you're sending the energy.)
  

Once you imagine the cooling, healing, containing, neutralizing blue light energy settling over the reactors, you can just hold the light in place in your consciousness throughout the next several days. It doesn't take any effort - in fact, efforting it is actually counterproductive. All it takes is imagination and the awareness to return to that imagined reality throughout the day. Every time you see a news item or hear someone talking fearfully about the situation, use that energy to remember the blue blanket all of us are holding over the site.

This is an extraordinary situation - let's at least experiment with what so many of us claim to believe in and let's intend to influence this situation for the better of the Japanese people, the local plants and animals, and indeed all of the people, plants and animals around the world who would be affected by a full-scale nuclear meltdown at the plant.
