Connecting to Water & Hurricanes From the Heart
An excerpt from Barbara Wolfe
www.globalmeditations.com
What attracts hurricanes to the land is fear, negative energy.
The news media stalwartly kept humanity up-to-date
on every move of Hurricane Ike as it approached
the Gulf Coast, speculating continually on where Ike would land.
This speculating helped increase the fear of humanity for this hurricane,
which in turn helped increase the attraction for coming full force to land.
Archangel Metatron suggests that once humanity understands that these
powerful storms are for the benefit of the oceans rather than of the land,
then humanity, if it wishes, can pray that hurricanes remain at sea,
which means they can weaken substantially if they will reach land.
This advice has prompted me to begin sending the energies of Love,
the opposite of fear, to Ike as it approaches my doorstep.
Several years ago, I was at Mount Fuji, Japan, when a typhoon was in
full force. I was staying in a modern, wooden house with about two
dozen people, including indigenous people from northern Japan, and
we were all bedded down on mats to sleep out the night. In the morning,
everyone, for one reason or another, left except me. I watched the
typhoon as its sheets of water came down to the land. I had never before
seen so much water coming down.
I knew the typhoon was extensive, a super typhoon. I thought about the
zillions of water droplets. It was impossible to imagine how many were
coming down. I sat at a window watching the zillions of water droplets,
and then I had an idea. I would program them with Love, remembering
the concept that All is One. To program one meant programming all of them.
I imagined these Love water droplets coming down and touching the
land, giving Love to the land. I imagined Love water droplets coming
down into the ocean very close to me at Mount Fuji, and then, because
All is One, I imagined that all droplets of water in the ocean, and the
other oceans, were being programmed with Love.
I programmed with Love the water droplets in the clouds overhead
that would not come down to the land or the ocean near me, but instead,
the wind would take them across the planet to drop them here, drop them there.
You see what can be done…
Spreading Love

Thanks ~ Giving
One of my favorite meditations is the Thanks Giving Meditation.
It can be done in transit, walking down the street, reclining in a chair… anywhere, anytime.
Simply allow the mind to find all the things one is grateful for…
from the plumbing, to our parents, our last meal, and on and on.
Once this path is found, it is endless.
The amount of things we are truly grateful for is the essence of abundance.
This way of grateful thinking is known as right thought producing right action.
Genuine gratefulness opens the seventh chakra known as the crown chakra,
the gateway for grace to enter into human life.
What Happens?
What happens when your soul
Begins to awaken
Your eyes
And your heart
And the cells of your body
To the great Journey of Love?
There is a wonderful laughter
And probably precious tears
And a hundred sweet promises
And those heroic vowsNo one can ever keep
But still God is delighted and amused
You once tried to be a saint.
What happens when your soul
Begins to awake in this world
To our deep need to love
And serve the Friend?
O the Beloved
Will send you
One of his wonderful wild companions

From I Heard God Laughing Renderings of Hafiz
by Daniel Ladinsky
It happens all the time in heaven
It happens all the time in heaven,
And some day
It will begin to happen
Again on earth
That men and women who are married
And men and men who are lovers,
And women and women who give each other light
Often will get down on their knees
And while so tenderly holding their lover’s hand,
With tears in their eyes,
Will sincerely speak saying
My dear, How can I be more loving to you?
How can I be more kind?

With That Moon Language
Admit something:
Everyone you see, you say to them, “Love me.”
Of course you do not do this out loud, otherwise someone would call the cops.
Still, though, think about this, this great pull in us to connect.
Why not become the one who lives with a full moon in each eye
that is always saying,
with that sweet moon language,
what every other eye in this world is dying to hear?
