Earth Clinic's Prayer & Meditation Group
Updated: February 6, 2010 4:35 PM EST
SIGNED UP ALREADY? Quick access to this month's prayer focus
At Earth Clinic we have sought to bring individuals the surest remedies and the most natural cures. Now we would like to bring those individuals together into a circle of prayer and meditation—to hold our ailing planet in our hands and work to heal it and the human community inhabiting it wherever it suffers, through the proven power of collective prayer and meditation.
We are determined to put together the largest prayer/meditation group on the planet to tackle some of its most pressing issues. This is an all-inclusive prayer and meditation group with Jewish, Catholic, Christian, Buddhist, Native American, Hindu, Muslim, Spiritual But Not Religious, and all variety of other members longing to walk in beauty. Many in the group are also healers and have worked with prayer and meditation for years.
As of February 6, 2010, we have over 4,565 members participating in this group!
*** NEXT MONTHLY SESSION IS February 7, 2010 ***
Why We Call It An Experimental Prayer Group
All of us who have been involved in prayer and meditation groups within our religious or spiritual communities have witnessed how powerful group prayer or intention can be. Our group will be unique in that we will be tracking via various news agencies from around the world how quickly (or slowly) the group is able to attain results and trying to find ways to improve the next session. In that way, we follow up a little faith with a bit of science—neither one seems to work perfectly alone, but together we hope the two can make the world, in every way, a healthier place.
Here's how we'd like the prayer group to best utilize its time and energy:
1. As a group we decide on a pressing matter in the world that we can monitor via news agencies.
2. The first Sunday of each month (except for U.S.A. holiday weekends which fall on the first Sunday of the month, in which case we will do the session the following Sunday), we ask each member to each spend at least 10 minutes meditating/praying on the subject matter at hand. We also send out additional prayer topics during the month for world crises like the recent Haiti earthquake.
3. We then look for results in the media.
Example: A total of 1,323 people participated on Sunday, July 8th 2007. Our goal was to _________. Each participant spent a minimum of 10 minutes focusing on _______. On Wed, August 21st, the BBC reported that _______ happened.
FEBRUARY, 2010
After a 2 month hiatus, the Earth Clinic prayer group is back with renewed vim and vigor! Thank you for your patience while we took the past couple of months to rethink our priorities and approaches to this group.
We have decided to continue with monthly topics sent out the first weekend of each month, with additional topics sent out on an as-needed basis for world crises like Haiti.

FEBRUARY'S MONTHLY TOPIC
WHALE AND DOLPHIN HUNTING
Many thanks to Rae from Bellevue, Washington, USA who suggested this week's topic on the hunting of whales and dolphins. This is a world-wide problem in which these beautiful and graceful animals are senselessly slaughtered, often in inhumane ways. We ask our members to pray that these animals be protected from harm and that those who seek to harvest them for mere monetary gain find other means to sustain themselves financially.
We also ask that members continue to remember the people of Haiti in their prayers and to ask that their hardship be relieved as they work to restore their country.
