Dr. Masaru Emoto’s Prayer for the Gulf

posted by vreiss

dolphins_gulf.jpgI haven’t been writing about the oil spill in the Gulf because, frankly, every time I think of it I feel such a deep sense of overwhelming, immobilizing sadness and anger. But this prayer from Dr. Masaru Emoto, the author of “The Hidden Messages in Water” inspired me today.

He’s the Japanese scientist who has researched and written about how our thoughts and words affect the molecular structure water. For example, water vessels covered with the word “love” freeze into symmetrical, beautiful crystals, and those covered in words like “hate” create deformed, uneven structures. Whether you’re skeptical or not, it’s really pretty amazing to think about.

In addition to anything else you might be doing to help the situation–from boycotting BP to going down there to help–we can all say this prayer a couple of times a day. Or at least when we think of the spill, instead of sending our worry energy, we can be mindful to send loving, grateful heart energy. That’s what I’m working on. 

“Now let’s give energy of love and gratitude to the waters and all the living creatures in Mexico Gulf by praying like this:

To the water, whales, dolphins, pelicans, fishes, shellfishes, planktons, corals, algae and all creatures in our Gulf of Mexico:

I apologize.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.”

- Dr. Masaru Emoto

Amen

Waking Up to Your Dreams (by Wendy Schuman)
Are you a frustrated dreamer? I know I am.

I understand how helpless you feel. I feel the same way. I will pray this prayer and try to send positive energy rather than fear and worry in that direction.

Folks currently are questioning if God is so good, then why did He cause, or why did He allow the Deepwater Disaster to occur, killing 11 innocent men, and putting the entire eco system of the Gulf of Mexico into a catastrophic decline. And it’s not only the ecosystem but the future health and livelihoods of the Gulf’s inhabitants and possibly those of the entire southern parts of the USA. – Not to mention innocent people elsewhere, which the deadly toxins might affect, as is being postulated currently.

god didn’t cause the oil spill. disasters are caused by careless people.
while we can’t always help physically, we can always send a good thought or prayer like the one from dr. masaru.

This oil spill caused by human error, and BP is totally resposible for the spill. But to minimise the effect of this spill we should get together to get something done.
