Healing Intention to our Environment 
 In Qigong practice we develop the energy of our mind to improve  intention for healing as we unite our biofield energy with the universal life force. This same practice supports healing of all life.
 
 Dr. Emoto water 
Pictured is a crystal of water responding to a healing prayer.
 
With so many of us frustrated and angry about the current tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico, Dr Masaru Emoto, author Hidden Messages in Water  (the scientist from Japan whose research revealed that water physically responds to emotions) suggests it may be of greater help to our planet and its life forms if we sincerely, powerfully and humbly send the following intention: 
 
"I send the energy of love and gratitude
to the water and all the living creatures
in the Gulf of Mexico and its surroundings.
To the whales, dolphins, pelicans, fish, shellfish, plankton, coral, algae, and all living creatures...
I am sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you"

 In applying our Qigong practice, we send this message of love and healing with millions of people from around the world to shift the current balance of destruction, supporting the "chi field" in the Gulf of Mexico, recognizing that the power of love is the greatness power active in our Universe.
