Healing for our home, the Earth

[asheen]

Hi everyone

I'm new so I hope I've chosen the right forum for this. Some friends and I participate in a healing - "call to service" for the Earth, for 10 minutes once a month on the new moon. It's purpose is to provide healing and upliftment to our planet.

see details here  http://www.mindsoulspirit.com.au/service.html

I'd like to know what people think of this idea and what experiences you have if you do this.
Do you have any other suggestions for healing we can do for the planet?

thanks

Maybe if you guys all did it for 10 minutes once a day you might be able to begin healing the planet.

Doing group work per month for the healing of the earth is a great idea. But, I sincerely feel we must begin with ourselves. First, we must heal ourselves... only then will we be able to heal others.

I agree, because we are part of the ocean and we need to make sure that we are healed.

Yep, I agree about the 10 minutes. It doesn't seem like much to tackle so much need for healing! I do lots of other mind healing work on circumstances in the world too, but I take your point and thought, yeah, why not? so I can't speak for my friends but I will endeavour to do 10 minutes a day for the Earth from now on 

My thought about the "call to service" for the Earth though was that if lots of people do this, over time it has the potential to become quite powerful. Most big things start from small things!

About the need to start with self healing, I agree with you and I work on "inner" healing in a variety of ways, but it seems to me that it's important to take opportunities to work in outward ways as well. It is all so linked together. I think that working in an inner way on "self" helps to heal the external manifested world, but also working on the external world assists to heal the inner/self.

It's amazing to see energy in action like this.

Storytime!!
My Aikido dojo is moving to a new location and we had to cart all the Tatami over the new building, anyways, when it came time to finally leave, we had a small toast.  Before the toast Sensei was telling us about the (I can't remember the word for it... we'll just call it an alter) that we had setup at the front of the dojo which we bow to before every class.  He would have an "offering" setup on it for the gods, generally some sake, water and an orange.
He was telling us how he would replace the orange roughly only twice a year, and the most recent orange (which I took down and packed away) was up there for several months.

I remember packing the orange away in a box for moving and noticed how fresh it looked and how firm it felt... I had no idea at the time that it was 5 - 6 months old!!

We had a class earlier that morning and my Sensei's Sensei had shown up to impart some of his knowledge (quite the experience, I'll tell you LoL)... and he was mentioning how much good energy is always present while we trained.  How we created so much of that good energy.

So anyways, back to the orange... my Sensei always attributed the longevity of that orange to the great energy that we put out while training.  So if good energy can do that to an orange from a dojo of around 100 students, it's easy to understand the kind of healing powers a 10 minute meditation from thousands of people across the Earth could do too.
