Updated: September 5, 2010 9:30 AM 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 pray for the planet. Many members of our group are healers who have worked with prayer and meditation for years.
As of September 05, 2010, we have over 5,306 members participating in this monthly group!
*** NEXT MONTHLY SESSION IS OCTOBER 3, 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 choose 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.
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2010 PRAYER TOPIC
Pakistan Floods
More than 17 million Pakistanis have been impacted by the devastating floods resulting from unprecedented heavy monsoon rains that began in July. It is now considered to be one of Pakistan's worst humanitarian
catastrophes and continues to affect people daily. Recently an additional 1 million people were forced to relocate as new threats of flooding from weakened levees threatened to burst. That's the equivalent of taking the entire city of Dallas or San Francisco and forcing everyone to leave and find shelter elsewhere. One aid worker characterized the overwhelming devastation as ten times worse than Hurricane Katrina. Most importantly, it is impacting the very poorest of the poor -- those without resources to move or more significantly re-establish themselves elsewhere and begin to once again find work to support their families. Fields with crops of food that could feed the hungry have been wiped out, bridges and roads needed to transport medical supplies, drinking water, and food to the refugees have been washed out or are under water. The greatest concern is now the spread of disease under such conditions.
In our prayers this month we ask that our members around the world focus on sending love and light to this region that the flooding and devastation be brought to a swift end and that they be given the means to quickly and safely restore healthy living conditions for everyone there.
