April 2011 - Remembering What's Important
We are amazed at the powerful example being set by the Japanese people who have endured more tragedy than anyone could possibly imagine from the recent 8.9 earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011. Yet, the Japanese people are doing everything they can to help each other and to rebuild their lives, without blaming, complaining or whining about where they find themselves. Their courage and ability to cope is a powerful example of how well people can endure and pick themselves up when they need to in spite of incredible adversity. They are an excellent reminder of the power of a positive attitude no matter what happens.
We also encourage everyone to help them in some way — whether
through money, time, other donations or holding positive thoughts for their
rebuilding process.

noon in all time zones.]
Constant change is the nature of our life. The way we deal with the small changes gives us practice in dealing with more major changes in our life.
When something changes, we have choices in how to deal with it. Remember, the only thing we can really control is ourselves. We can't control other people, we can't control world events, we can't control what the boss does, we can't control what the president does, we can't control what other customers do, we can't control what our competition does, we can't control the weather, etc. We can only control how we react to the changes that happen all around us every single day.
Some tips for keeping a positive attitude:
- When something changes — anything at all — practice taking it with good humor. Example: Someone wants to reschedule an important meeting that you have been working hard to get ready for. Instead of getting angry or disappointed, try reminding yourself that it will probably be better at the new time, then carry that positive attitude into the meeting when it happens. If a plane is delayed, maybe it was because there are mechanical problems that might have been risky, so you are better off traveling late than not at all. Feel gratitude for the extra time that is needed to let your trip proceed safely.
- Learn to see everything that happens or doesn't happen as a blessing. Feel gratitude for what ever happens — whether on schedule or not.
- If you can shift easily from thinking something "bad" happened to knowing that it will work out for the best, that skill will provide you with good preparation for adjusting to major changes more easily. You will bounce back more easily and be much more productive than if you mope around or feel sorry for yourself.
- If you are able to shift your attitude quickly, you will be more able to help others to shift their attitude. You will contribute more to your workplace, your family, your life and your community in a positive way and more people will be helped.
- Do something for someone else who needs some extra help at this time. Donate money or other resources to relief funds for Japan or other places who need help. If you can't give money, give your time to send them positive thoughts or prayers.
- Smile at a stranger, let your family know you love them, say thank you to everyone, feel happy every day and your life will blossom just as nature does.
- Take time to appreciate the beauty of nature all around us every day and feel blessed for being alive in this vibrant world.
The more people can adapt easily and quickly to changes, perhaps negativity in the world can be tempered and maybe eventually eliminated as more people are able to see the good in life instead of all the imaginary problems.
Our wish for you: May your life be blessed this month with happiness, joy and creativity as Spring makes its appearance in the Northern Hemisphere. Spring is a time of creativity, of new life, of growing things, of warmer weather, trees bursting forth with new leaves, flowers blooming and of the incredible possibilities of all that can be coming forth.
A worldwide prayer for Japan
As we were finishing up this article, we received this from multiple sources within a few minutes, asking for a common prayer around the world at noon (all time zones) on Thursday, March 31, 2011.
A letter from Dr Masaru Emoto...
To All People Around the World,
Please send your prayers of love and gratitude to water at the nuclear plants in Fukushima, Japan!
By the massive earthquakes of Magnitude 9 and surreal massive tsunamis, more than 18,000 people are still missing…even now… It has been 18 days already since the disaster happened. What makes it worse is that water at the reactors of Fukushima Nuclear Plants started to leak, and it’s contaminating the ocean, air and water molecules of surrounding areas.
Human wisdom has not been able to do much to solve the problem, but we are only trying to cool down the anger of radioactive materials in the reactors by discharging water to them.
Is there really nothing else to do?
I think there is. During over twenty year research of hado measuring and water crystal photographic technology, I have been witnessing that water can turn positive when it receives pure vibration of human prayer no matter how far away it is.
Energy formula of Albert Einstein, E=MC2 really means that Energy = number of people and the square of people’s consciousness.
Now is the time to understand the true meaning. Let us all join the prayer ceremony as fellow citizens of the planet earth. I would like to ask all people, not just in Japan, but all around the world to please help us to find a way out of the crisis of this planet!!
The prayer procedure is as follows.
Day and Time: March 31st, 2011 (Thursday) ~ 12:00 noon — where ever you find yourself at noon (local time) in any time zone you are in so it will become a rolling prayer around the world.
Please say the following phrase:
“The water of Fukushima Nuclear Plant,
we are sorry to make you suffer.
Please forgive us. We thank you, and we love you.”
Richard Ashworth, English feng shui consultant, writes about Dr. Emoto: It's possible you've never heard of Dr Masuru Emoto but he's probably the leading edge in understanding water. This may seem an obscure accomplishment perhaps until you recall that we are all 80% h2o ourselves. He has written several books (best known probably is The Hidden Messages in Water) demonstrating just how responsive water is. His experiments demonstrate for instance that different emotions affect the molecular structure of water differently. You may have seen some of his breathtakingly beautiful photographs of affected water molecules. In short, water will take a message.
All of the above is pure feng shui; water is communication. All water is constantly in search of all other water. If I spill a drop, it will spread and descend until it finds other water. It may even evaporate in this pursuit. Like communication, you simply can't, as the tsunami showed, block water. Some of the water we drink today will physically make its way to Fukushima, Japan.
