I remember reading a scientific study some years ago, evaluating whether healing meditation sessions focused on an ill person actually improved their health. The study included practitioners with a wide variety of religious/spiritual backgrounds (Hindu, Christian, indigenous, Jewish, etc.) who were located in a variety of different countries. 

I do not know how it was structured but the conclusion was that the meditation sessions were effective and it didn't matter what the religious or spiritual foundation of the practitioner was, but it seemed to be the intention that mattered. Clearly, thoughts and feelings have energy

Re reading some posts

I love what you wrote and absolutely believe it is truth. INTENT is indeed the key.

Not sure if this is the right thread to post this in, but is anyone else feeling like the Universe is sending us messages through the metaphoric current events?! From the algae infested and paint-peeling reflecting pool, to the diverse show of love and joy in NYC (yes, about the Knicks, but about so much more), and the demonstration of normality and decency from all the former presidents who attended the opening of the Obama center? Not to mention our new Treaty of Versailles? It's like messages are punching through, screaming that "someone" is really losing, and goodness has there here all along, just waiting to be summoned back.

On this 250th, we celebrate a rebellion.

On Tyranny: Special 250th Edition by Timothy Snyder

(an excerpt to his substack):

"To celebrate a rebellion means not to obey in advance, not to accept any of this as normal: not the lies told about the history by the people destroying our future, not the saccharine veneration of the Constitution by people who violate it every day, not the seizure of the mantle of revolution by a band of reactionary oligarchs. It is to be as courageous as you can: to speak the truth, to protect the elections we still have, and above all to organize in a great a joyful coalition.

"History is not something that our oligarchs and fascists can take, try though they will today. History is what we make. It does not come to us. We come to it -- with what we know, what we say, and what we do. Nothing in history dooms us; and nothing in history saves us. In the months between now and the next elections, there will be much forecasting, speculating, and worrying. None of that matters. All that matters is organizing a great and joyful coalition.

"All that matters is the work. If my words are useful, if the beautiful reading here of my words is useful, it is only because those words bring you to act.

"To celebrate a rebellion is to know that, from a flawed world, we can make new things. We can hold on, we can find each other, and not just imagine but create a much better America.

"The lessons: (1) Do not obey in advance; (2) Defend institutions; (3) Beware the one-party state; (4) Take responsibility for the face of the world; (5) Remember professional ethics; (6) Be wary of paramilitaries; (7) Be reflective if you must be armed; (8) Stand out; (9) Be kind to our language; (10) Believe in truth; (11) Investigate; (12) Make eye contact and small talk; (13) Practice corporeal politics; (14) Establish a private life; (15) Contribute to good causes; (16) Learn from peers in other countries; (17) Listen for dangerous words; (18) Be calm when the unthinkable arrives; (19) Be a patriot; (20) Be as courageous as you can."

@lynn This is a summary from a European newspaper about one of these metaphoric current events. The U.S. president had announced his plan in late April. He said the reflecting pool, one of Washington's landmarks, in front of which civil rights leader Martin Luther King delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963, was “in terrible condition”, “dirty and filthy.” The U.S. president had the pool—which currently glows a striking algae green—painted blue —“like the U.S. flag.” According to the *New York Times*, the renovation work cost $16 million. Shortly after the work was completed—and following a few hot and humid days—U.S. media outlets are now showing recent photos of the freshly renovated and blue-painted Reflecting Pool. What can be seen is a pool in a rich, striking algae-green.  Dear Lynn, I’m absolutely, absolutely, absolutely certain that the elves here are having a blast spreading algae in the pool. The elves want to make it very clear to someone that not all plans can be easily carried out, and in doing so, they’re expressing their opinion extremely clearly. I think it’s so typical of elves to express their opinions with actions like this. My impression is that the elves intend keep this up for quite a while. They are definetely not amused about what is going on and they seem to have another dream than the current president.

@joy Thanks for posting!  It's good to hear from you.  You probably know this but past presidents, including Obama, have not been able to control the algae.  It's warm and sunny and the pool is shallow and algae is the result. Past presidents have also refrained from attacking Iran because they all were advised that Iran would close Hormez and cause an oil crisis.  But T likes to do things his way.

@jeanne-mayell I have nothing against Obama, but I doubt the elves were amused when his government cut off their access to the sacred spring and pumped nutrient-rich river water into the pond instead. In response, the elves sent a clear message in green algae to remind Washington of this sacred place's true essence: a vision marked by dignity and purity. And when Trump painted the sacred pool synthetic blue, the elves turned the water green again to convey their timeless message: honor what is sacred, and show dignity and respect for the rights of others, including nature. The vision and dream right here right now at this sacred place is about democracy and its dignity. The algae green is like a kind of outraged reminder of the elves' message I think. 🙏🏼

Explanation:  Elves don’t like metal. Washington’s modern water system consists of course of modern, metal pipes. However, the old pipeline from the Franklin Spring, dating from the early 19th century, was built at a time when pipes were often still made of wood (hollowed-out tree trunks) or unprocessed stone. Obama government discovered these very old pipes during his 2012 renovation and, for practical reasons, rightly sealed them off permanently. For elves, however, this also meant that the sacredness and energy of the old Franklin Spring were permanently “sealed off” and is no longer accessible. Kind of traumatic for them.

This morning, in a discussion with friends, a lot of fear was voiced. It is very important to acknowledge fears, but equally important to TRANSMUTE them and CREATE new futures.

Perhaps a ritual of elimination and then an active creation is in order.

1. Hand write the fear on a piece of paper. Your words. Your fear.

2. On a separate paper, re-write the fear statement into a positive. Do not let logic intimidate you!

Fear: t is giving a speech tomorrow on the elections and I'm scared.

Light creation: t is so scared and weak he is giving a speech tomorrow on the midterms. t's attempt to take over fails hugely. His attempt to stop the midterms becomes his removal from office

3. Burn, if possible, the negative paper and reiterate the positive once every hour or so-- in hand writing and OUTLOUD!

if you can't burn it, tear the negative page into tiny pieces, then dump them in water, add a tiny bit of bleach, then throw the glop into the outside garbage bin.

Get the fear out of you! Get it out of your home!

4. As you burn or water/bleach the negative into NOTHINGNESS, give Thanks, and say outloud

This, or something EVEN BETTER now manifests.

That covers all the bases 😊 of unknown possibility.

Put the LIGHT back into the picture, and into you.

Acknowledge. Transmute. Recharge.

CREATE NEW! 

The possible futures will pull that Energy in and USE it to enhance the highest and best to be.

The dark is incapable of creating. They are only able to destroy --therefore it behooves us to CREATE rather than despair. 

Acknowledge always. Never stuff fear. Transmute. Create new. Trust. 

Superceding dark energy with Lighted Energy dissolves evil, even when it appears evil is controlling everything.

Remember, the sun DOES rise every morning, even if it is hidden by clouds or fog.

Yes, there is pain. Anger. Grief. They are heavy on our hearts. Yet a simple act of acknowledging --by physically writing the negative out, physically REwriting that fear into a positive, physically dissolving the negative writing, and physically voicing, out loud, often! in a declaration, the LIGHTED alternative, those ACTIONS are weapons against the dark. USE IT!

BE the Dawn dissolving dark.

@tesseract  Yes! Yes! Yes! And thank you!  We are now entering a phase where we understand that, like you have done so beautifully for us,  acknowledging our fears and transforming them into courage and light-filled vision.

I just finished posting our latest set of predictions.  I had a thought about why they are important and it involves your message:

Our predictions are how we can listen to and observe ("see") the unfolding world.  They awaken us and provide a path to navigate the negative into positive action. The future is not fixed; it is unfolding, and we can steer a positive path of changing the dark into the light, if we can see what is unfolding. That is what you are doing and that is what we are all doing. 

Open our eyes and see in the dark, see the light and become the light going forward.

Our hits tell us what is important; they put the predictions in bold, as if to say, these are visions you had that we want you to notice. 

We need all hands on deck.
