Below is a beautiful meditation/prayer for healing in the Gulf of Mexico. I found it on Pam Younghans blog and felt moved to share not only the prayer but also her words of encouragement.

The prayer is from "... Dr. Masaru Emoto, who many of you will recognize as the scientist from Japan who has done all the research and publications about the characteristics of water. Among other things, his research reveals that water physically responds to emotions.

Right now, most of us have the predominantly angry emotion when we consider what is happening in the Gulf. And while certainly we are justified in that emotion, we may be of greater assistance to our planet and its life forms, if we sincerely, powerfully and humbly pray the prayer that Dr. Emoto, himself, has proposed.

We are passing this request to people who we believe might be willing to participate in this prayer, to set an intention of love and healing that is so large, so overwhelming that we can perform a miracle in the Gulf of Mexico.

We are not powerless. We are powerful. Our united energy, speaking this prayer daily ... multiple times daily ... can literally shift the balance of destruction that is happening.

We don't have to know how ... we just have to recognize that the power of love is greater than any power active in the Universe today.

Please join us in repeating this healing prayer of of Dr. Emoto's. And feel free to copy and paste this to send it around the planet.

Let's take charge, and do our own clean up!

And so it is! Pass it on."

Dr. Emoto's Prayer for the Gulf:

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, plankton, coral, algae, and all living creatures ...  I am sorry.

Please forgive me.

Thank you.

I love you.

As our lives get busy it is easy to focus less on the Gulf of Mexico and her people and animals. We might even avoid thinking about it because we feel anger, helplessness and despair when we do. It's natural to have these feelings. Feel them, let them go and then build the healing energy of love in your heart for our planet. Let's harness our collective positive will and help our mother.

This video meditation is for the Gulf of Mexico and all of its life forms. We have great power in the love of our hearts, our positive will and strong intentions. We are able to create life through our bodies, transform from infancy through old age, leave our bodies behind and live on. Our power is unlimited in what we can create! Now is the time to come together in a common goal to heal our earth.
