Mandala

A Mandala written today for the natural disaster in Christchurch, New Zealand.
May peace prevail on earth
May peace be in Christchurch

Earth Appreciation

Infinite bright thoughts of gratitude to all elements of nature during our most inclement weather in Australia during late 2010 and the early part of 2011. 
Earth Appreciation Mandala Project
Here is a photo of the postcard promoting this project. The idea is to encourage anyone who is interested, to write a mandala, experiencing the power of sitting in a quiet space, totally immersed in giving by firstly thinking positive thoughts and then transposing them into the energy of words, designed to assist in healing our earth. How great is that!!!

YOU too can join this ever growing trend of gratitude and appreciation for all that exists in our lives.
Go to the website to get a MANDALA template and become another beautiful soul, helping to transform our Earth and all who dwell upon it.

Infinite Gratitude to Nature written upon hearing of the condition of the coral reefs in the Andaman Islands. The more we put out inspiring, positive words of gratitude and appreciation, the more the energy for these encircle the globe. Be part of the solution.

EARTH APPRECIATION MANDALA Project

EARTH APPRECIATION MANDALA Project



As you are all aware, OUR beautiful country is being battered by natural phenomena.


I know that your prayers are 'flying to the wind' on an ongoing basis but this morning, as I watched Anna Bligh give her latest news conference, I decided to ask you all to consider WRITING A MANDALA for these events.


We know that words hold incredible power and that by writing POSITIVE words in a MANDALA, their power is poured into this 'vessel'. The completed MANDALA then continuously radiates this wonderful energy to us and nature.


Would you do this please? Consider it a gift to Australia and to all that exists. It's a tangible way in which YOU can do something powerful from where you are.


www.earthhealershandbook.net Go to this website and click on 'enter', then 'Mandala workbook'. It will take you to mandala sheets that can be downloaded if you don't have any already. Writing instructions are included.


I look forward to hearing from some of you, and even more excitedly, seeing some photos of completed mandalas!!! Put photos of completed Mandalas on your Facebook page, etc, and spread the word of this powerful tool.


Of course, MANDALAS can be written for any occasion, spreading positive energy with love.


Please feel free to network this EARTH APPRECIATION MANDALA Project to all of your friends.


Infinite love, joy and appreciation,

Peace prevails on earth

May Peace Prevail On Earth

Symphony of Peace Prayers 2010



Sunday May 16th
SOPP was held in Geelong on a beautiful, sunny Autumn day. We ended up with sixty or more people sharing together.
A few comments after the event:
  • It was soooooo beautiful; such a gentle, awesome, all encompassing energy. Much easier than in previous years which was interesting.
  • I truly enjoyed our SOPP with its gentle, flowing energy filled with love. The most relaxed I've ever felt with this event.
  • It was a beautiful focused day from set up to completion and all went really well with a soft balanced energy.
  • It was such a joyous event filled with love, serenity and power. My sense was that something big has shifted energetically around the globe this year with this event. It was much easier energetically.
The harmony of voices of various faiths and spiritual traditions resounding in united prayer was a unique feature of Sunday's Symphony Of Peace Prayers. Members of both the Geelong Interfaith Network and general community joined thousands of others worldwide in this Symphony of Peace Prayers, containing within it a wish, a vision, and a mission for humanity to live in happiness, peace, health and harmony.
David Tournier, of the local Wathaurong people, gave a most beautiful, heartfelt Welcome to Country and our well known Monsignor James Murray gave the address on 'Oneness: What is Peace?'


A colourful, joyfilled World Peace Flag Ceremony followed, sending prayers for peace to the over 200 countries on our planet, symbolically using the flag of each nation. Children from the Baha'i Children's Choir, after singing peace songs, joined adults in a constant parade of flags held aloft, with all participants shouting out 'May peace be in .........' for each individual country.
It was an afternoon of rejoicing in sharing, with love and respect, and cherishing the oneness of us all.



July Ceremony 2010 at Fuji Sanctuary

July Ceremony 2010 Fuji Sanctuary
This was an awesome ceremony filled with incredible energy. It took approximately five hours to complete with full attention needed by all to successfully achieve its completion.We all sat out in the open air prayer field; a little like a mown paddock.

While saying this, it was also a ceremony that had a relaxed feel about it in its intensity. Music played at the start of each segment, where we sat on the ground in gentle prayer. We then stood to voice our kotodama (spirit of words).

The program was based on the recitation of the basics of Goi Sensei and Masami Sensei, Byakko teachings.

It was a very important ceremony , each person's presence being vital, as the earth is at a crucial , pivotal and critical time in its ascension,
The ceremony as a whole, rested on the dispatching/sending to HUMANITY, the highest of vibrations, via the words (KOTODAMA, or spirit/life of words) found in each of the Declarations, Prayer, INs, to help purify the accumulated negativity, as well as to impregnate ourselves with some key elements from the various Declarations, so as to become an even more heightened conscious body/vessel, of light , of peace, resonating the Truth, for humanity, for the world and the universe.

The powerful declaration to begin each of the first eight segments; World peace prayer, How man should reveal his inner self, WSKN, JSKN, Transforming the suppressed negative thoughts of the individual and humanity into light with kotodama and later with new IN, Gratitude & Bright Thoughts really placed us in alignment with Source.
