Prayer and faith--hand in hand...
During my full stop to re-evaluate where I am and where I’m going, I have been asked to send light/pray for various animals, places, and people by spirit. Now, I am experimenting in the power of prayer and my own inner skeptic still has problems with believing in the power of prayer. I always want proof but that isn’t always possible. This type of work is on an invisible plane of energy that flows easily and changes with a mere thought. There is no spreadsheet on this energy field that will show you exactly how many minutes of prayer were required to help any particular situation and to show how much it effected so you can see how you are doing. You can only ever feel and intuit that your prayer work has done some good on some level for others and yourself. I guess it’s all about faith and trusting spirit.
Now, let me back up a minute. It has taken me a long time to adopt the word “prayer” as a part of my vocabulary. I believe the word has been used so badly and has been misconstrued in the past and it’s often used by religious leaders that I don’t care for. But I don’t want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. The power of prayer, no matter who uses it, is powerful medicine if done with proper intention and an open heart. So, if you find yourself balking at the word “prayer,” let the past connotations of the word slip away and look at it from a new point of view.
During my meditations over the past year or so, I communicate with my spirit guides, Yeoshua and Mary Magdalene, among others and they have asked me to pray or send light and love to animals and places in the world. I’ve consulted a few other psychics/shamans and they have had a similar experience so I don’t feel too weird. I heed the call when spirit asks me to do this. I trust in the information I get from spirit and if I can contribute by sending out some prayers, then I will do so. I trust that my prayers will do some good although I will probably never know the outcome of those prayers. I guess that’s why they call it faith, right?
"Pray for Hawaii," I was told by spirit.
So, some of the things I’ve prayed for–Hawaii. I was told to pray for Hawaii last year and it turned out that they had a hurricane come close to them a few days later. I had been sending light and love to the land, the people, and the surrounding marinelife. I don’t know if my efforts helped. I did not know a hurricane was forming and was heading in their direction. I just listened and settled in to prayer. And what that means depends on the situation. In this case, I meditated and sent light and love seeing the whole set of islands at once with the surrounding ocean in a white bubble of light. I felt that they were all protected including the marine life. All the dolphins and whales were to be specifically held in light. So I did this for a few minutes in my mind during meditation. Then for a few nights after, when I said prayers before bed, I included them simply saying, “I send love, light, hope, safety, and comfort to Hawaii—the land, its people, and all living things in the area.”
I’ve been asked to hold the people of China, Haiti, and Argentina in my thoughts because of the earthquakes there. I am still praying for them every night. I was also asked by spirit to hold the animals in light around the world who have been effected by men’s wars. I was asked to hold them in love and send protection which I visualize as millions of pink bubbles going out to surround them and keep them safe despite the wars of men. This is mostly in Africa. I don’t know if this helps. I don’t know if I will ever have any kind of confirmation on this. I suppose it doesn’t matter. If someone said that I had a 5% chance of helping any of these situations, I would spend the five minutes of prayer to do it. Wouldn’t you? It definitely couldn’t hurt, right? So, I continue with it and listen to spirit to help direct me.
This week, I continue my regular prayers for earthquake ravaged regions and the animals in Africa but I have a new target. It’s a new one for me and may seem particularly bizarre (as if the above isn’t bizarre to begin with). I saw the documentary, Food Inc., which if you haven’t seen, you should make yourself sit down and watch it.
Food, Inc.
There is a seed company profiled in the movie and I got very upset with their business practices. Their actions are hurting people, the food supply, and all animals following in the food chain. It is painful for Mother Earth as well. I can’t sit by and let this continue. I need to do something. So I asked spirit–can I pray for bad things to happen to this company? (I’m human after all, right?) Of course, spirit did not condone this type of prayer. I knew it wouldn’t but I thought I would throw it out there. I wouldn’t even know how to go about doing that.
So, I received my answer this morning and began praying in earnest for a healing of the land and the animals effected by the actions of this company. I surrounded the whole mid-west with gold healing light and did that for quite a few minutes. Then I moved on to the people–the individuals who carry out the marching orders of this company and I asked for their eyes to open.
I asked for them to open up their eyes to the truth of what they are doing to the earth, to the food, to the animals, and to the people of the United States. I asked them to stop and listen to the still, small voice inside and make a new decision about what they want to be doing with their life. I asked them to consider being accountable to a five-year old and having to explain their actions to him or her. What would they tell the child they do for a living? They bully farmers until they are bankrupt. They mess with the genetics of seeds that have the potential to find their way on to every farm in America? They buy out other seed companies so they can control more and more of our food supply? Do you think the five year old would like those descriptions?
Then I asked them to visualize themselves (this is all done on the energetic plane or metaphysical or spiritual plane, of course) to see themselves at age 10. What were their dreams? What were they passionate about? Maybe they could return to doing something that made them feel that way again? I visualize people getting up out of their seats at this company and leaving with grace and ease to go to another job that shows up quickly and easily. These people will start awakening to their inner desires and who they truly are not who this job has made them become. I know these are good people at heart–they are our neighbors, they have kids and spouses, and they have hopes and dreams that have been crushed over time. I asked all their spirit guides to come forward to help them rediscover the beauty of this world and the people that live in it.
That might sound rather delusional to you but I don’t apologize. I firmly have my feet planted and am grounded in this world but that doesn’t mean I can’t also at least attempt to bring light and love to others in the spiritual plane. I hold a vision for everyone to open up to a bigger life full of gratitude, beauty, harmony, peace, and love. Maybe I can do my work from the living room recliner? Maybe the only way to have an effect on corporations who have lost their way is through the spiritual plane. Well, I’m trying it out. There is really no downside. I got a good, deep meditation out of it whether it works or not. It has been suggested by spirit that I keep this corporation in my prayers for the next 7 days. I don’t know if I’ll ever find out if my prayers have an effect but I can hope.
If we all listened to spirit, we might find this world changing faster than we ever imagined. Stop, listen, and then act on faith. Share with me any experiences you’ve had in this regard. I’d love to hear about it. Namaste.
