Ten Minutes of Gratitude for Planet Earth 02

   Even look at the sky, clouds or sun. The point is to keep the Earth's natural beauty and not a man-made creation in your vista.3. Keep your eyes open or closed as you wish.4. To begin, focus your thoughts only on your favorite moments in nature courtesy of planet Earth. These could range from a visit to a site of natural beauty like the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, or the beach to a favorite sunset or sunrise you remember. Even the most urban-bound residents of New York, London, or Tokyo have seen rivers, trees, and mountains from their cities. I believe everyone will have something they can focus on, even if simply a patch of sky above them.5. As you focus on the Earth's natural beauty, feel a sense of gratitude for the natural experiences, adventures and remembrances you have. Thank the Earth not only for your memories and experiences, but also for the sustenance in the form of food, water, air and shelter that it has provided you.6. If you wish to go beyond ten minutes of gratitude, focus your remaining time on holding a vision of a healed Earth.


   Picture the Amazon rain forests re-growing. See clear-running streams and rivers. Imagine beaches without a plastic bag, bottle or piece of trash on them. Visualize natural abundance and human existence in harmony with our planet. Do this as long as you wish.Yes this is idealistic, but then again I'm a self-confessed optimist, although not without reason. Nonetheless I can hear the doubters already thinking "what about the two-thirds of the planet's population living in extreme poverty or wretched circumstances? They won't even hear about this, or care to do it. So why bother?" This message is not for them; they're too busy trying to survive. This is for you. What will YOU do? Will you participate?Perhaps this will convince you. Physicists tell us that according to the laws of wave mechanics, the intensity of any kind of waves that are in phase with one another is the square of the sum of the waves.


    So, five waves together are twenty-five times as intense as one wave; ten waves are one hundred times as intense, etc. Since physics has also proven that thought is energy, and all energy occurs as waves, then if only 80,000 people are all thinking the same thing simultaneously, they are as powerful as the entire population of the earth (around 6.1 billion people). Since 80,000 times 80,000 equals 6,400,000,000, then 80,000 people all believing the same thing should be enough to change the planetary reality.Let's err on the safe side. Let's make it a million people and see what happens. Please participate by simply marking your calendar and planning to give ten minutes of gratitude at noon on April 22. It certainly won't cause any harm, and hopefully it will do a world of good. Better yet, help spread word of this event by contacting your schools, churches, and community organizations. Link to this article on your Web sites and blogs, or forward it to your friends and colleagues.It's so easy to help, won't you? I know the Earth will be glad you did.
