Healing the World - Invitation

Today I have two World Healing announcements:

1. WORLD HEALING MEDITATION/REIKI GROUP ~ We Are One World Healing

This Sunday, November 1, we will hold our monthly session whereby we unite in space to create a synergistic energy beam to help heal humanity, all nature and planet earth.

We have become a strong group of several ’00s Reiki masters, Reiki practitioners and others generous souls holding a vision for good. Partial participants list.

I hereby invite you to join us, as we certainly need to grow and strengthen our beam. Participating is a blissful experience and you can find many write ups of experiences by participants on the blog here. As well, our participants from Africa and England are sending us hopeful words from time to time. Usually, after the world healing meditation/reiki session, I personally feel rewarded and very peaceful.

Our next session is Sunday, November 1, 9-10 am in San Francisco, USA, or 6-7 pm in Europe, or your time zone equivalent. Details on why to participate and how to participate are here.

JOIN TODAY. Please register so that we can energetically connect with you. (If you are ill, have a pace maker, or similar, focus on your own healing first before joining the group. Our collective energy is strong.)

Till Sunday!

2. CLIMATE CHANGE - Blog Action Day 2009 - PARTICIPATION

My blog has just registered with Blog Action Day 2009. This is an annual event that unites the world’s bloggers in posting about the same issue on the same day. This year’s topic is Climate Change, something that my angels have been warning me about. Lots…

The aim of Blog Action Day is to raise awareness and trigger a global discussion. By ALL OF US addressing Climate Change on the same day, the blogging community effectively changes the conversation on the web and focuses audiences around the globe on that issue.

So, stay tuned for my upcoming global warming article, and if you have something to contribute in this regards, please do let me know. Co-writers are always welcome on this blog. The blog is called, after all, ‘We Are One World Healing’, and not ‘I am doing all the work so 6+ billion other people can benefit’.

Blog Action Day is October 15.

Alright all,
Happy Spirits & Lovely Times

Zimbabwe Turns a New Leaf

I know that in North America we are all very aware of America’s new presidential shift. Obama has ‘hope’ written on his forehead. However, the US is not the only country where the political climate is changing so that the population is now hopeful again.

Today, I received an email from an South African ‘We Are One World Healing’ participant, who alerted me to what is happening in her part of the world. She wrote:

“Today is a celebration day for me!

There is history being made in Zimbabwe!!!! Yeehaa! I am so grateful for the progress my heart can’t decide whether it wants to laugh or cry! I actually am so moved I end up with my head bowed in namasté.

YOU have something to do with that Astrid!!!!! I know the healing we have done with our meditations has made a difference! Well done.”

Where she wrote ‘YOU’, I feel that she spoke to ALL participants of We Are One World Healing instead, not just me, so take it as a compliment and a sentiment of gratitude. Not I, but WE are ‘We Are One World Healing’.

To be able to share into her excitement, I checked what BBC has to say about the developments in Zimbabwe, and found this:

“Zimbabwe’s new Prime Minister, Morgan Tsvangirai, has vowed to stabilise the country’s shattered economy and end political violence.

The former opposition leader addressed thousands of cheering supporters after being sworn-in under a power-sharing deal with President Robert Mugabe.

Zimbabwe faces rampant inflation, a cholera epidemic and 90% unemployment. The international community has promised additional aid to the country only if real changes take place.

Addressing a rally at a stadium in Harare, Mr Tsvangirai said the government had to “get the country working again”. “The first priority is to stabilise the economy,” he said. “The economic collapse has forced millions of our most able to flee the country. This must end today.” (source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7884282.stm)

STATE OF ZIMBABWE

Five million people - almost half population - need food aid Hyperinflation Unemployment of 90% About 3,400 people killed in cholera outbreak

We both agree: “And yes, the ‘move forward’ energy is strong.”

Pictures of World Peace

I tend to ask pertinent questions in my practice, to help my clients focus on what is truly important in their life. So, in the midst of that personal conversation, one of my Reiki clients said last week:

“If I could have just one wish, it would be World Peace”. I was blown away, as that single line moved us completely out of the details of his life, jumping right into the bigger, inspired picture.

This client is a young actor. Young actors may at times be stereotyped as self-centered … well, this young man is obviously not that ego-driven.

This article on Pictures of World Peace (with art by none less than Picasso!) is posted in his honor. I am truly blessed in that he, other clients and my angels and guides all show me pictures of world peace on my daily path. In words, sounds and pictures, I see & hear visions of the healing of a broken world, or rather, a healed world!

I find these visuals motivating. May this blog article filled with artistic pictures of world peace that I have found for you bring you as much inspiration.

Monthly, we unite for 1 hour in meditation for world peace, healing of the world. Details: http://www.therapeuticreiki.com/blog .

World Healing :: Healing Children

I receive lots of blissful accounts of what it is like to participate in our We Are One World Healing monthly sessions. Every once and a while, I receive an account that I just LOVE SO MUCH I have to share it! Here is one. This powerful imagery of a healing world is from a new participant, Tony ‘o Connor, and his account warms my heart!

“What a wonderful experience. I prepared 1/2 the morning for the encounter with the One World Healing. The efforts paid off more than I had expected. I meditated the entire hour (started about five minutes early and finished a couple minutes after because it “felt right”) and finished feeling relaxed yet invigorated and so full of spiritual healing energies. I had several visions but one that will remain with me for quite some time. I would like to share that now…

I was standing on one step of a large stairway of white light. There was a person on each step leading upward very high and very far beyond my line of sight. There were people of all races, creeds, shapes and sizes and we all stood on our individual step. Then someone on the step below me handed me a sickened child. This child was emaciated and full of sores.

I took the child and held him close to my body and let love flow from me into him and I felt the tears form in my eyes. I turned and then handed the child to the person on the step above me who in turn loved and healed the child then passed him to the next step up. I then took another child from the person next to me and this child was ill but not with the same sickness as the previous child. I did the same… I loved the child and felt heat and light pass from me to her and then turned to hand her to the person on the next step. I could see that the children were being healed as they passed upward on the stair! Way of light and healers. They became healthier and plumper and full of joy.

My tears were warm on my cheeks as I turned to take the next child and saw the line down the staircase to be long and with no end in sight. A constant line of people of all faiths and nations handing children up the stairway to one another and adding their love and healing on the way.

But I noticed the children being handed to me were healthier and “cleaner” than the earlier ones. As if they were being healed more quickly and I soon found myself with a whole child loving and laughing as I took her into my arms.

A child that was healing me in return as I held her and loved her unconditionally. What a peaceful loving embrace that we parted reluctantly as I handed her to the step above and saw her changing even then before my eyes. Changing into a woman full of grace and life and light. A healer was born before my eyes on that stairway of light.

Then the vision changed…

I will hold this vision dear and know it was a confirmation from the Universe that I was indeed “hooked in” to this beautiful World Healing experience. I also know the Universe is telling me that our selfless efforts are working and we are healing our world one child… one soul… one moment at a time and raising a new generation toward the Light to carry our healing forth to all the World.

Namaste!”

How to Heal Humanity - Podcast

The other day I was asked to tell the world about We Are One World Healing in a phone interview.

World Without Weapons Pablo Picasso

The nature of this podcast was that the essence of my message had to be condensed to 1 minute. Not easy to sum up world healing in such a short time. I did it.

Happy New Day

At the end the year 2007, let me reflect for a moment. For some, this year was pure bliss. For others, it contained painful lessons. For all of us, however, the past is over.

As well, the best perspective about January 1, 2008 is this: ‘Today is a new day.’

A Minister in a Japanese Zen Buddhist church I went to in Palo Alto, California, said in the mass at January 1, 2000:
‘Oh, not another millennium. Rather, just a new day.” There was something so balancing about that comment - it has stuck with me, for 8 years now. Bringing balance into my every day breath.

Happy New Day to You!

Happy Holidays

To WE ARE ONE WORLD HEALING-participants, blog readers, and my Reiki practice and healing art clients:

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support and friendship. Each and every one of you has helped me to where I am today, and has inspired me daily.

Thank you for all of your suggestions, comments and loyalty.

It has been a pleasure getting to know so many of you, and I look forward to the opportunity to make even more friendships through out 2008.

We wish you a joyous and safe Holiday and of course a prosperous, healthy and healing 2008!

World Healing Experiences: Oct 26

Hello Astrid and fellow participants.

I felt a little irritation before receiving the e-mail reminder. something else I must do another obligation! When I got the e-mail saying that I too would receive healing I calmed down.

I started well enough but 13 minutes into it the phone rang I didn’t answer figuring I would find out who it is but no message.as I was feeling hungry I went to have a quite snack I had baked this delicious tea-bread earlier.

then settled back into my meditation. I must again have gone quite deeply images of people walking by me peacefully, when the phone rang again, twenty minutes later. I responded briskly. Then the door-bell rang! My neighbor collecting her postal package, apologizing profusely. That kind of irritated me too, so I got back to the last 10 minutes of my meditation.

This has been the first time I have had so many interruptions. On the whole I feel refreshed and great.
Looking forward to next month.

With kind regards,
Tanya

Comment from Astrid:
This is exactly what happened to me! Yesterday was my anniversary, and I had made a 6 layered cake, and had some during the session!

I also had ‘random’ interruptions, phone calls, and in-house distractions. However, I reached deep meditative state, with lots of visits. Fortunately, I was not annoyed by the interruptions, as I expect them. I send usually a good amount of distance healing energy ahead of time to counterbalance interruptions. This time I had send an excess of an hour and a half of Reiki ahead of time to the We Are One World Healing participants, the initiative and to the synergistic rays of all of us together healing the planet/all people.

I don’t live in a monastery (right now) where I can just sit and meditate. I have to orchestrate this special time. I also do not answer the phone or door during the We Are One World Healing session (or any Reiki session I do, for that matter).

Beyond this: I received the message that time has come that we should all send Reiki to each other for a few minutes at the beginning because the group is getting to big for me alone to do this.

Also, I have recently received many, almost spam emails addressed to people other than myself, from brand new healing initiatives asking me to join them. If common ground exists, we should align the healing energy. So far, all requests are fragmented and not all-humanity initiatives, so I lay low re. alliances.
