Sometimes we can be overwhelmed by the news of the day. We feel helpless, frustrated, angry. Right now, most of us are suffering negative emotions whenever we consider what is happening in the Gulf of Mexico. The natural and economic damages done by the oil spill are catastrophic. Although our emotions are justified, we may be of greater assistance to our planet if we sincerely, powerfully and humbly focus on what we want.

Dr. Masaru Emoto, author of Hidden Messages in Water, has done extensive research about the characteristics of water and how, among other things, water physically responds to emotions. In light of the disaster, he has proposed the following prayer for the Gulf situation.

“I send the energy of love and gratitude to the water and all the living creatures in the Gulf of Mexico and its surroundings.

To the whales, dolphins, pelicans, fish, shellfish, planktons, corals, algae and all living creatures…..I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.”

We are not powerless. We are powerful. Our united energy, speaking this prayer daily…multiple times daily….can literally create a shift in the balance of destruction. Thoughts create things.

We don’t need to understand “how”. We just need to believe in the power of love, which is greater than any power active in the Universe today.
