Today we unite in a common purpose...

... to heal the world by connecting our hearts in harmony across all continents in a global grid of LOVE and PEACE. Did you know this is our 30th global prayer since September 2009?! And right now the world needs this positive energy so much. Our love and intentions of peaceful resolutions to conflict have the power to raise consciousnes into higher states of Oneness. Our goal is to awaken compassion within ourselves and within our brothers and sisters of all nations. We do this for the children of the world and for the planet. We are One. Let's harmonize all around the world!

At 2pm PST / 5pm EST / 10pm GMT / 23:00 CET (see global time chart) please stop whatever you're doing and take five or ten minutes to truly focus on LOVE and our innate state of Oneness with all creation. Next, visualize that we are holding hands around the world, glowing in the energy of love. We form a giant grid of thousands of hearts beating with the rhythm of LOVE. Now let that energy expand to blanket the world in peace. Ask whatever higher powers you believe in to join us. Think of current conflicts in the world and SEE THEM RESOLVED, peacefully and joyfully. No more killing, no more suffering, no more hungry, no more tears. We are One. Express your GRATITUDE to everyone who is joining us and to everyone, for inside everyone is a place in their heart that is LOVE.

Thank you and major LOVE to you! We do this every single month on the 25th. Please check your time chart before March's Major Love Prayer, however, because seasonal changes will upset the normal schedule for many of you outside the US. Thank you so much and 'see' you again soon!

"Heal the world, Make it a better place, For you and for me And the entire human race,There are people dying, If you care enough
for the living, Make a better place for you and for me"
~ Michael Jackson

Fundraiser for Children's HeartLink ♥ Please help!

Dear Lovely Ones, ♥ Please help raise funds in Michael's honor to heal the hearts of our precious children around the world! ♥

Congenital heart disease is the world's most common major birth defect, affecting one in every 120 children. Ninety percent of those newborns are in areas of the world where appropriate medical care is inadequate or unavailable. Rheumatic fever & other infectious diseases continue to damage the hearts of millions of youth throughout much of Asia, Africa & Latin America. (source: Children's HeartLink)

Throughout his life, Michael Jackson gave millions of dollars to children's charities, donated toys and necessities to hospitals and orphanages, paid for lifesaving operations and was a consistent and loving spokesperson for child welfare across the globe. He asked us, his fans, and all the people of of the world to love the children as our own, to care for them and to protect and brighten their futures.

With this in mind, we've begun a charity fundraiser today with our MJ friends and we hope with all our hearts that you will join us in this and help spread the word! For the first fundraising effort we've chosen the international nonprofit organization Children's HeartLink, which seems very fitting as that's what we do in our monthly prayers... we link hearts for worldwide healing! This organization was founded in 1969 and Charity Navigator has given them its highest 4-star rating. "Congenital heart disease is the world's most common major birth defect, affecting one in every 120 children. Ninety percent of those newborns are in areas of the world where appropriate medical care is inadequate or unavailable. Rheumatic fever and other infectious diseases continue to damage the hearts of millions of youth throughout much of Asia, Africa and Latin America." Through a network of care providers, Children's HeartLink helps with surgery, training to hospital staff, medication and supplies, diagnosis and general cardiac care to children in underserved areas of the world. They are currently supporting partner hospitals and programs in Brazil, China, Ecuador, India, Malaysia, South Africa, Ukraine and Vietnam.

Just $2500 will pay for a complete operation for a child in need. That is our initial goal, which we hope to exceed with your help.

One of Michael's dearest wishes was the creation of Michael Jackson Children's Hospitals. While we as a fan community continue to work toward that and other beautiful goals as part of his legacy of love, let us continue looking into our hearts and at the world through the lens of love. Let us see how and where we can help a child today, right now. Thank you and much L O V E! ♥

Please help MJ fans worldwide raise $2500 for the charity

Children's HeartLink!

"Children show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone. This simple goodness shines straight from their hearts. This has so much to teach... Being with them connects us to the deep wisdom of life, which is everpresent and only asks to be lived. Now, when the world is so confused and its problems so complicated, I feel we need our children more than ever. Their natural wisdom points the way to solutions that lie, waiting to be recognized, within our own hearts." ~ Michael Jackson

"No one should have to suffer, especially our children. This time we must succeed. This is for the children of the world." ~MJ

Things I Learned from Michael Jackson #11: "We are Michael Jackson"

Things I Learned from MJ: #11
'We are Michael Jackson' (by Franziska)

During the days and weeks (meanwhile it are months) after Michael left this world I continued to ask myself why this loss hurt so much. Why did the death of a man I never spoke to personally touched me so much that it put my whole world upside down? Why was I unable to sleep for so many nights? Why was I in total denial for several months? Why do I still start crying when someone mentions his name or when something reminds me of him (even if it is only the full moon that makes me recall the Moonwalker)?

Yes, I love his music and it does mean very much to me. His way of expressing his innermost soul be it musically, with the help of lyrics or through dancing always touched me and made me feel at home, made me feel secure. For me, Michael was always there at the same distance. No matter where I was, how far away from family and friends, he was always there as he had always been. No matter how lonely or abandoned I might have felt Michael was always there. His music, his voice always offered me a safe haven. The mere knowledge that he was out there allowed me to feel close to him and gave me hope and strength to live in a world that for sure did not always feel like “Neverland”. In his humanness and gentleness he was a good example for me. His vulnerability and weakness allowed me to accept the truth and importance of my own fragility.

Over the years I met many people who felt equally and it was always a pleasure to share those emotions and those experiences with them. And even more: I could share his message of love and friendship with them more than it was possible with others, those who did not understand him the way I felt that I understood him. I was truly “not alone”.

And then there were those rare occasions when I had the honor to see him in person. Whether it was a concert or one of his other appearances, it was always (despite all the chaos) a magical experience. Being close to the man who influenced my life in such a lasting way made me feel as if I was taking a holiday from reality, as if for some hours or days that what was most important in my life also received my full attention. And yes, sometimes seeing Michael in the window of some hotel or on some stage or even just in a car made me feel stronger as if his mere presence approved my whole being. Close to him I felt good with being myself.

So how does it feel to live in a world without him? It feels as if the colors were taken away from this world, as if the only force that shielded me from the “cruel world” was taken from me. But what exactly have I lost? I lost a mentor. Someone who let me see the world as a good place to be in, someone who showed me what is possible with a little faith and trust. I lost a friend who showed me how much joy and happiness simple “being” can bring, how important it is to never stop dreaming. I lost a guide that was by my side for years, through good times and bad times. I feel like a tree that has lost a main branch and is now completely out of balance and deprived of an essential part. And now I am afraid that if I try to accept his death, if I try to live with it, that I would somehow betray his memory. Sometimes it seems as if the only way to remember and to love adequately is to suffer.

Mourning is like living in an upward spiral that starts at Michael’s passing away. I will come across this date or a memory of him again and again and yet every time this happens more time has passed, more experiences were made and I have grown a bit “wiser”. So how can I “sufficiently” store him in my heart and at the same time reduce the suffering? What do I do with the wound that is left from the branch? Maybe I will just try to do the same as the tree. Grow a new branch. No matter how tiny, how weak, how seemingly unimportant and insufficient this branch might be at the beginning, it is there for sure. I do not believe that we were made to suffer so there simply MUST be a little branch. Maybe I should allow myself to look at it. It is by no means there to replace Michael in any way but as time goes by there simply IS something that is growing from this wound. What could that be for me? Maybe I could try to lose my fear of this big, scary wo rld and try to see things more in the way he did. That is what he tried to teach us anyway. So why not simply take a risk and try it? Why not attempt to live, to be what I admired in him? Be more human, be more caring, more giving, less receiving, simply: more loving! Michael was always a great teacher and I truly believe that he would appreciate it if I, if we all, finally followed his path. We might not reach his mastery but that is not our goal anyway. The goal is simply to try it, to never stop trying, never stop dancing Michael’s dream. It is through us that he continues to live. Through our words, our deeds, our love. Now WE are truly the ones to make the world a better place. We have not lost Michael! He is there, maybe even closer to us than ever before. “Michael Jackson” is no longer a man; he is a concept, an idea. WE are Michael Jackson! There is no need to be sad; there is no need to despair! We have lost a messenger, not the message, a lover, n ot love! This world needs his message and we are the ones who will continue to live it. Because We Are The World! ♥ ~ Franziska N.

We'd love to post your contributions to this series. If you'd like to write something, please consider thoughtfully something you've learned from or because of Michael (examples: about love or life, how to forgive, not to judge, how to follow your dreams, etc) and send your story to admin@majorloveprayer.org. Don't worry whether what you write is eloquent or simple, a full page or only a couple of paragraphs. The important thing is to just be yourself and share your insights in honor of Michael, to inspire others or just to empathize. The same lesson (like LOVE!) can certainly be written about more than once since we all have our own unique understandings. Thank you and much love! ♥
