With world events intensifying these days, and stress levels
escalating, it is important to feel empowered rather than helpless.
I just got a message from another Qigong teacher, that I'd like to
share. It is a spiritual message. I know people come to T'ai Chi
and Qigong for many reasons. I came to it soley for health, but
found that it helped me rediscover my religious upbringing in a more
real and profound way.
The below message gave me comfort, so for those of you that resonate
with it, please pass it on and use it.
The message I recieved and forward follows:
It is time for those of us who believe in miracles, to ardently begin
working them. None of us need think, "There is nothing I can do."
While military and economic and political forces have worldly power,
they cannot work miracles. And we can, because prayer is a conduit of
miracles. The first thing, the most powerful thing, the most
miraculous thing we can do, is pray. At noon each day, wherever we
are, let us stop for a minimum of five minutes, close our eyes and
say a prayer for our country and our world. Know that as you do
so, there are probably thousands of other people in your time zone
doing exactly the same thing, thus increasing the vibratory power of
the prayer field. Ideas become stronger when they are shared, and so
do prayers.
Do what you can to let others know about the noontime prayer vigil,
both here and abroad. Ultimately we will create a blanket of prayer
that comes over the world in synchronized waves. Let us begin today.
Let us surround the entire planet with a field of light, and place a
golden bubble of protection around it. Ask God to create that picture
for you in your mind, and to so impress it upon your subconscious
that it becomes an active, creative force for good. Remember that a
minimum of a full five minutes is necessary to allow the mind to
achieve its highest creative potential as a medium of intercessionary
power. If you can only give less, it is fine; if you can give more,
it is much better. This is not a time for second-rate spiritual
practice, unless we desire second-rate results.
Dear God,
Bless and protect us in this dangerous hour.
Forgive us how often our hearts have been closed
when danger was visiting others.
May the eyes of our enemies be open,
that they might see the Light in us.
And may we see the Light in them,
that darkness shall be no more.
Surround us all with Love,
dear God,
so hatred will dissolve.
