Come Together: October through NOVEMBER 25, 2012 (extended) ~ Peace in the Middle East

~ September 26 through October 25, 2012 (extended to November 25, 2012)~

Suggested Visualization for intention that PEACE, HARMONY and the SPIRIT OF COOPERATION fill the Middle East, in honor of Michael Jackson:

This visualization is meant for daily focus. It is also how we will begin the next Major Love Prayer! 

How this works ~ For more information, partners and a monthly schedule, please see the the post  Come Together Over Michael Jackson ~ And don't forget to join the October Facebook Event :)

You may wish to bring a sacred feeling to your practice by lighting a candle or burning sage or a favorite incense to purify your meditation space and enhance your quiet mood. It is strictly a matter of personal preference. Sitting in a comfortable chair, take several deep, cleansing breaths, inflating your diaphragm first and then your lungs and filling your inner space with the white or golden light of love. Allowing your mind to be cleared of all thought, expel any negative emotion with your exhalations, emptying your lungs first and then your diaphragm.  You may wish to ask your angels and guides to be present and to guide your spiritual practice.

When you are breathing comfortably, sanctify your inner space by repeating a favorite prayer, mantra or inspirational quote. One of my (Jan's) favorite prayers … and one that we have used with great success in the past … is St. Francis Prayer:

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace
Where there is hatred, let me sow love
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith
Where there is despair, hope
Where there is darkness, light
Where there is sadness, joy
O, Divine Master, grant that I may seek
Not so much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love
For it is in giving that we receive
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
And it is in dying that we are born unto Eternal Life. Amen.

When your mind is quiet and your breathing feels natural and comfortable, visualize the Middle Eastern part of the world in your mind. You may picture the globe or a map, specific countries and things currently taking place there. Instead of visualizing any negative and painful current events, though, we will instead visualize a beautiful world where PEACE reigns. 

To begin, replay in your mind the end of "Earth Song" on the HIStory Tour, when Michael lowers the soldier's weapon. See his hand gently directing the gun downward, as there is no need for violence. Join him in this action, reaching out to ALL guns as we did in the June 25th intention. Reach out with LOVE to everyone in all countries of the region, from Egypt to Israel, Iran to Syria to Afghanistan. We are all part of this process, gently guiding action from our hearts, connected to all other hearts. We are ONE! Visualize all weapons being lowered in joyful reconciliation. Celebration ensues! It is the end of violence! See officials' hands shaking in agreement, smiling faces and children laughing in joy, families hugging each other as they are reunited in PEACE. See Israel and Iran coming to an understanding in peace as any strikes against each other are now averted. See the civil war in Syria ceasing as freedom and peace takes its place. From this point forward, all nations will find ways to work together in HARMONY. There is no need for war or bloodshed. Pour all the love your heart can hold into this intention. LOVE every person, every child. Send your love throughout the cities and towns and countryside. Send your love to world leaders with the calm blessings of PEACE. Know that this begins NOW. As of NOW the Middle East is filled with PEACE, HARMONY and the SPIRIT OF COOPERATION. Hold this intention for as long as you can, whether it's for a minute or many minutes. FEEL it. KNOW it is not only possible, but REAL and happening NOW. This feeling can expand outward to encompass the world, starting from here...

Know that Michael joins his prayers and intentions to ours and that all of God’s universe joins us in our visualization to create peace. Repeat this visualization, if you wish, to anchor it firmly in your awareness. Feel the joy of that minute of silence and extend that joy and peace outward to blanket the planet. Feel our great love for our beautiful, blue planet and all her inhabitants.  

On the day of Major Love Prayer (the 25^th), know that you are joined by thousands of others in every corner of the world. Feel their presence. Feel the love we all share … for each other … for our planet … for our beautiful Earth Angel. Focus that love like a laser beam upon our planet. Visualize joining hands all across the world to blanket the planet in our love.

You may wish to add prayers for friends or loved ones experiencing health or personal problems. Finish your visualization practice with a prayer of thanksgiving for your intention being made manifest in this physical reality. Thank Michael for being near and joining his intention with ours as we heal this violation of our common human spirit. Thank him for bringing us all to Come Together Over Michael Jackson.

Thanks to Jan from WithAChildsHeart'sBlog for this beautiful visualization. For more information on this intention project, please see Come Together Over Michael Jackson.  Thank you and much love!
