February Prayer Time is the same as last month

Hello everyone! Just a quick note today to verify that the prayer time has not changed this month! It is the same as last month. In the US it occurs on Thursday, Feb 25 at 2pm PST / 3pm MST / 4pm CST / 5pm EST. In Europe this is 22:00 GMT / 23:00 CET and midnight (as Feb 25 turns into Feb 26) in Eastern European countries. For more time zones, please see Prayer Time Zone Chart: February. Hope to "see" you all there and again feel this amazing MAJOR LOVE with you all, for the world. Please continue spreading the word! It's all for L.O.V.E.!

Note: Next month (March) the prayer time will indeed be one hour earlier for many (but not all) countries. The reason for this is the United States moves into Daylight Savings Time in mid-March, while most of the rest of the world doesn't change their clocks until the end of March. This creates a one time discrepency in prayer times that will happen every year (also in October during autumn). Prayer time is back to normal, however, in April!

[Arabic] [دليل الدعاء الشهري [العربية

دعاء الحب الأكبر - www.majorloveprayer.org

من؟ : جميع محبي مايكل جاكسون حول العالم، وأي شخص يتمنى تضميد جراح العالم. الكل مدعو للمشاركة.

ماذا؟ : بإلهام من رغبة مايكل جاكسون في مداواة العالم، دعاء الحب الأكبر هو حدث شهري عالمي يتم في نفس التوقيت حول العالم، في كل بلاد الأرض، حيث نجتمع سويا بشكل روحاني للحظات قليلة نقوم خلالها ببث الطاقة الايجابية للحب والسلام كما تغنى مايكل جاكسون في أنزور بارت أوف مي (جزء آخر مني)، "نحن نبث حباً عظيماً!"

متى؟ : في الخامس والعشرين من كل شهر في تمام الساعة الثانية مساءا بتوقيت لوس انجلوس. يرجى مراجعة موقعنا على الانترنت www.majorloveprayer.org لمتابعة العد التنازلي لبدء الدعاء ومعرفة التوقيت الصحيح في بلدك. (يفضل الاستعداد مبكرا بخمس دقائق قبل ميعاد البدء.)

أين؟ : في أي مكان! يمكنك المشاركة مهما كان موقعك. المكان المثالي هو أينما تشعر بالراحة، بحيث يمكنك البقاء بعيدا عن الإزعاج لمدة خمسة عشر دقيقة تقريبا.

كيف؟ : الارشادات المقترحة يمكن للجميع اتباعها، فهي لا ترتبط بدين أو معتقد محدد. خذوا حريتكم في تعديل أي تفاصيل بما يتناسب مع رغباتكم ومعتقداتكم.

التحضير (خمس دقائق أو أكثر قبل الدعاء، إن أمكن)

يرجى الجلوس في وضع مريح حتى يمكنك الاسترخاء. قم بتمرينات التنفس العميق في هدوء إلى أن يفارقك أي احساس بالتوتر أو الشد العصبي. يمكنك الاستماع إلى الموسيقى الهادئة (مثل هيل ذا ورلد أو وي آر ذا ورلد، ... إلخ). قم بترديد دعائك الخاص أو ممارسة التأمل. ادع لمايكل، لعائلته، وللآخرين، أضئ شمعة، ... إلخ. ولتفكر في نوايانا المشتركة (نشر الحب والسلام ومداواة الجراح حول العالم).

بدء الدعاء

* أغمض عيناك وقم بالتركيز في قيم المحبة والعطاء واستقبال الحب. اشعر بالحب تجاه ذاتك، تجاه عائلتك، تجاه اصدقائك، تجاه مايكل، تجاه كوكب الأرض، تجاه الله\ الخالق\ الكون (بما يتوافق مع عقيدتك) وهكذا. فلتشعر بهذا الحب بداخل قلبك.

* تخيل الآلاف حول العالم وهم يقومون بنفس الشيء في نفس اللحظة.

* دع مشاعر الحب تتدفق وتصلك بكل هؤلاء الذين يشاركون في هذا الحدث (بما فيهم مايكل، إن كنت تستطيع تخيل ذلك). فأنت الآن جزء من نسيج هائل من المحبة يلف بقاع العالم.

* والآن بينما يغمر هذا الحب كوكبنا بأكمله، فتتخيله وهو يفيض ليحتوي الأرض برفق وينفذ إلى كل الكائنات الحية ليشفي الحيوانات والغابات والهواء والمحيطات والبشر ...كل شيء. نحن في سلام. نحن نتعافي. نحن الحب. نحن كيان واحد.

* فلتبقى مع ذلك الاحساس لدقيقة أو اثنتين، كما يتأتى لك. يمكنك قضاء وقت أطول إن أردت. إفتح عيناك حينما تشعر أنك مستعد لذلك، واحرص على التعبير عن الامتنان لكل من ساهموا في هذا الجهد الروحاني. فلتقل "شكراً" بقلبك وعقلك لرفاقك من محبي مايكل وكل المشاركين الآخرين، قلها لله\ للخالق\ للكون ولمايكل الذي جمعنا اليوم بما منحه لنا من حب وإلهام. ثم تمنى الخير للجميع. والآن إفتح عينيك، خذ نفساً عميقاً واعلم أنك في أمان وسلام مع ذاتك، وأنك الآن تحظى بالقوة والعافية والحب.

شكرا لكم، وإلى لقاء في الخامس والعشرين من الشهر القادم!

Ghid pentru rugăciune şi meditaţie lunar [Română]

Major Love Prayer/Meditation - www.majorloveprayer.org

CINE: Toţi cei care îl iubesc pe Michael Jackson, precum şi toţi cei care au aceasta dorinţa de a transforma lumea în care trăim într-o lume mai bună. Oricine este binevenit.

CE: Inspirată de dorinţa lui Michael Jackson de a transforma lumea în care trăim, această rugăciune MAJOR LOVE este un eveniment mondial lunar care are loc in acelasi timp, peste tot in lume. Toţi participanţii se reunesc in suflet si in inimă pentru a transmite aceasta energie pozitivă pentru pace, dragoste şi încetarea suferinţei in lume. Asa cum Michael spunea în melodia sa Another Part of Me, nu facem decit sa transmitem o dragoste majora ("We're sending out a major love!")

CIND: Pe 25 ale fiecarei luni, la ora 14:00 ora Los Angelesului. Pentru a identifica ora exacta pentru tara-oraşul in care va aflati la momentul evenimentului puteţi verifica contoarul aceste pagini http://www.majorloveprayer.org. (Vă recomandăm sa fiţi gata cu cel puţin 5 minute înaintea începerii rugăciunii).

UNDE: Oriunde vă aflaţi . Locul ideal este acela în care puteti fi relaxat şi puteţi avea 15 minute fără să fiţi deranjat.

CUM: La aceasta rugaciune – meditaţie participă persoane din toată lumea. Instrucţiunile oferite mai jos nu sunt specifice nici unei religii anume. Puteţi oricînd adapta aceasta metodă potrivit propriilor dvstră credinţe.

Pregătire (cel puţin 5 minute înainte de începerea evenimentului.)

• Aşezaţi-vă intr-o poziţie comfortabilă şi încercaţi să vă relaxaţi. Mai cu seamă eliberaţi mintea de preocuparile ei secundare. Inchideti ochii pentru cîteva momente şi respiraţi calm şi profund. În felul acesta eliberaţi-vă de stress. Pentru aceasta puteţi asculta o muzică relaxantă sau care vă inspiră, precum Heal the World, We Are the World, etc. de asemenea puteţi face o rugaciune specială, sau sa spuneţi o mantra specială, sa vă rugaţi pentru Michael şi pentru copiii săi, sau pur şi simplu să aprindeţi o lumînare. Incă înainte de a începe meditaţia, începeţi deja să vă gîndiţi şi să mentalizaţi intenţia acestei rugăciuni colective aceea de a răspîndi dragoste, pace şi vindecare în toata lumea.

Meditaţia propriu-zisă

• Inchideţi ochii şi încercaţi să simţiţi în inimă DRAGOSTE. Concentraţi-vă mai ales pe sentimentul de a da şi de a primi DRAGOSTE. Încercaţi să simţiţi dragostea de sine, dragostea pentru cei dragi, pentru familie, pentru prieteni, pentru Michael, pentru Planeta noastra, pentru Univers /Dumnezeu/Creator (sau orice alta noţiune care va conectează cu această energie superioară)

• Vizualizaţi mii de oameni de pretutindeni care fac exact acelaşi lucru in acelaşi timp cu dvstră.

• Lăsaţi acest sentiment de dragoste pe care îl simţiţi in inimă să se lărgeasca si să vă conecteze cu toţi cei ce iau parte la eveniment, INCLUSIV CU MICHAEL, (dacă bineînţeles credeţi că acest lucru este posibil). Acum aţi devenit o parte din această reţea de dragoste ce acopera tot globul.

• Această dragoste acum se intinde peste toata planeta. Continuaţi să răspindiţi această energie imaginînd cum ea acoperă si protejează intreaga planetă, trecînd prin toate formele de viaţă vindecînd pădurile, animalele, aerul, oceanurile şi mările, oamenii, etc. In acest moment suntem în pace. Suntem vindecaţi. Suntem Dragoste. Am devenit cu toţii UNUL SINGUR.

• Încercaţi să păstraţi aceasta senzaţie pentru cîteva minute, sau atît timp cît simţiţi nevoia. Cînd sunteţi gata sa deschideţi ochii, mulţumiţi tuturor celor ce au participat pentru intenţia lor de a vindeca lumea. Spune-ţi mulţumesc în minte tuturor participanţilor, lui Dumnezeu, sau Creatorului, lui Michael pentru inspiraţia pe care ne-a dat-o prin muzica sa. Doriţi numai bine tuturor. Acum puteţi deschide ochii, respiraţi profund şi simţiţi-vă în securitate. Vă simţiţi puternic, sănătos şi iubit.

Mulţumim pentru participare şi ne vedem cu toţii din nou luna viitoare pe 25!!!

New Dutch and Portuguese translations

Great news! Instructions for the monthly Major Love Prayer have now been translated by wonderful members of the Michael Jackson fan community to seven different languages! Previously we were able to add solid translations to German/Deutsch, French/Français, Spanish/Español, Danish/Dansk and Russian/Русский. This week there are two new languages: Dutch/Nederlands and Portuguese/Português! Thank you all sooooooo very much!!! Your work enables many more people throughout the world to not only find this site (by having something in their native language show up in search results), but also to understand at least the 'Guide to Monthly Prayer' in a clear fashion. Online translator websites like Google and Babelfish are helpful, but still not as good as real, live people :)

Note: If you would like to help us with a translation of the Guide to Monthly Prayer, we just ask for a couple of things. First, please have a good, fluent understanding of English and the language to be translated to, so potentially confusing mistakes are kept to a minimum. Second, please email or contact us via Twitter or Facebook first to be sure there's not already someone working on that language. We wouldn't want you to go through all the effort for nothing! A few in-demand languages right now are Japanese (日本語), Chinese (中文), Italian (Italiano)✔ (Italian added!), Romanian (Română) ✔ (Romanian added!), Polish (Polski) ✔ (Polish added!), Arabic (العربية ) ✔ (Arabic added!) , and Farsiفارسی✔ (Persian added!) , but all are welcome. We're all needed to heal the world with L.O.V.E.!

Announcement : 'Major Love Day' set for June 25, 2010

For June 25, ***2010***

Please see new post for all updated info:
Events for Michael Jackson June 25, 2010
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .


**UPDATE: MJ World Cry (http://www.mjworldcry.com) occurs just 30 minutes after Major Love Prayer on June 25th, therefore the events will nicely fit together in participating cities. We will announce more about this closer to June :)

June 25th is unfortunately certain to be a very sad day for so many people across the planet. It will also be a day when many of us will be taking part in large or even smaller local MJ-related events, from flash mobs or prayer vigils, tribute concerts, MJ World Cry, events in Los Angeles, London, Paris, Tokyo...all over the world... to remember, love and honor our greatly missed and forever beloved Michael Jackson...

Major Love Prayer will take place on June 25th as it does every month, at 2pm Los Angeles time, followed 30 minutes later by MJ World Cry at 2:30pm Los Angeles time (see http://www.mjworldcry.com for more details). However, we are also declaring that the entire day June 25th be a DAY OF MAJOR LOVE in honor of Michael and his humanitarian efforts (extending into June 26th in many time zones). With so many events going on it may be difficult for everyone to join in prayer at the usual time, therefore we are asking for you to please include Major Love Prayer in your day's events at whatever time your schedule permits! For example, if your fan club has planned a gathering at 9pm in your town square for a candlelight vigil, you can add Major Love Prayer to your evening's events whenever it is convenient for your group. This is part of the acknowlegement of Michael's lifelong desire to heal the world and his wish that his fans continue spreading love. We are his Soldiers of Love, his Army of L.O.V.E. and we will fill this day with not only the mass prayer at 2pm, but a series of smaller rolling prayers held by groups of fans across the world. We will continue to heal the world with LOVE, even during times of sadness.

When we get closer to June we will provide a short and concise prayer guide for event organizers or anyone else who wants to include Major Love Prayer in their day on June 25th. At least one week before we will publish a list of all known prayer events here on the main website. (And remember... You don't have to be the one in charge or a leader to ask everyone to join together for this! You can recruit a small group of friends, print flyers asking others to join, make posters, etc.)

IF YOU ARE PLANNING OR IF YOU KNOW OF A SPECIAL JUNE 25/26 MAJOR LOVE PRAYER, PLEASE COMPLETE AND POST MLP EVENT INFO FORM ON THE FORUM (bottom of the first post in topic thread). THANK YOU!

You can report events that are not involving a special Major Love Prayer under forum topic Events on June 25th.
