we can do this

[Guest guest]

Dear friends,

1000s are already doing it... let's stay out of the who, what, when and

visualize the best outcome. This is a great opportunity to exercise the

magnificent consciousness that is our birthright - in Peace, in Love, in

Light.

Care Focus: Oil SpillA huge oil spill in the Gulf

of Mexico, created by an explosion of an off-shore oil rig, is heading

towards the Gulf Coast of the United States. Efforts to plug the well

which is spewing thousands of gallons of oil into the ocean aren’t

working and officials are predicting this could become the worst U.S.

ecological disaster in history threatening hundreds of species of

wildlife.

We are asking Global Coherence Initiative members to send their

heart-focused care to the area. From the heart,

visualize the Gulf region, land and

sea, as vibrant and thriving – and feel as if the highest-best outcome

for all has already taken place.

You can join with others around the world in the

Global Care Room as you send care and appreciation to the Earth. To

Thank you for providing energetic care and support,

Global Coherence Staff

Earth Clinic 4850 members

Please join us this month as we pray for greater respect for and

nurturing of Mother

Earth.

Recent geological and climatological events remind us that the earth is

not a static form but is living and constantly changing. While events

such as volcanos do cause significant problems, they are the natural

consequence of existing on Healthy Earthan earth that is alive and

changing. In our prayer this week we want to take a lesson from

indigenous peoples and re-establish their connection with the Earth.

Ultimately, our prayers will reduce the illness and destruction caused by

pollution of the air, water and soil; maintain the health of all species

of animals and plants; and restore our own vibrancy through a connection

to the Mother Earth beneath our feet.

A second urgent request to our members is to

pray that the oil spill off the Gulf

Coast be quickly contained and that wildlife and natural resources in its

wake be protected.

A fix for the gushing oil well a mile beneath the Gulf of Mexico has

so far eluded scientists and engineers armed with technical know-how and

high-tech robotic submarines.

So one Boulder man is calling upon people from around the world to try a

different, simpler tack: meditation.

" The basic concept is to try and get as many people to

visualize that the valve is actually

functioning and is working and closing, " said

Carl Fuermann, a staff member in the University of Colorado's Registrar

Office.

The Coast Guard estimates that 200,000 gallons of oil a day has been

streaming into the Gulf of Mexico since the Deepwater Horizon oil rig

sank after it was rocked by an explosion April 20. A safety valve

Boulder resident Carl Fuermann, posing for a portrait Tuesday, wants

people to help try to fix the Gulf of Mexico oil leak through meditation.

( Swofford )

designed to stop the flow of oil, called a blowout preventer, did not

activate as it was designed to after the explosion. Efforts to activate

the valve using robots have not worked.

Fuermann said his desire to use meditation to activate the blowout

preventer -- and his belief that visualization could actually work -- is

rooted in his own life experiences and in a global movement called the

Intention Experiment.

" I'm very known for fixing things and making things work, "

Fuermann said, adding that he believes his meditation helped fix a

friend's Flip video camera. " I visualize things working and hold the

belief that they actually work. "

Lynne McTaggart, who started the Intention Experiment, has organized more

than a half dozen mind-over-matter experiments -- most recently to try to

improve the water quality in Lake Biwa, Japan -- that involve people

focusing their thoughts on something in the physical world to make

change. She claims to have scientific evidence that it works.

Fuermann and some of the people who have joined his visualization

campaign say they know that many may doubt their methods.

" I completely understand that most people would have a healthy

skepticism about these things, " said Jahnavi Stenflo, also of

Boulder, in an e-mail. " To all those skeptics, I would simply ask

them to participate in the exercise if they would like to try. ...

Ultimately, there is nothing to lose in trying to visualize the valve

shutting off. It either will help or it will not. "

Dwayne Bourgoyne, a deep-water mining expert at the Colorado School of

Mines, said Tuesday that he has " never heard of such an attempt to

stop an oil spill or any other kind of mechanical failure. " But he

also conceded that while he is familiar with the known law of physics he

is " unfamiliar with the telekinetic potential of meditation. "

Bourgoyne did have a piece of advice for the meditators, however, and

that is to focus their visualization efforts on a process called

" sanding out, " which can happen when the unconstrained flow of

oil weakens the rock around the well bore. The rock can break apart and

enter the well as sand, which eventually blocks the oil leak.

" If the meditators are seeking a common image upon which to

focus, " he said. " I suggest they visualize tiny cracks

spreading in the rock. "
