Soul Song for the Ocean - a response to the Gulf Oil Spill

There's been a lot of finger-pointing and blaming and complaining about this oil spill. And yes, choices were made that did not have pleasant results.... and that were perhaps beneficial (in the moment) to some, and not beneficial to others.

However, blaming doesn't solve the issue. Neither does judging or complaining.I've been searching for the right way to respond to my readers on the Gulf Coast Oil Spill issue, and was inspired with the idea of creatintg a Soul Song fo the Ocean.

I've always been in favor of "going through the back door" as I call it, or "killing them with kindness" some people would say.

In other words, in this situation, send love - unconditional love - to the Earth, to the Oceans, to the families involved in the tragedy, and yes, even to the ones who made decisions that led to all this.

Sending the energy of Love will do more good than sending the energy of hate - which is what we're doing when we criticize, judge, blame, complain.

Yesterday morning, as I sat down to play it, I asked, "What do you have to say? What is your message? What is the Truth?"

From the music, here is what I got...

It's up to you.
Open your heart.
Open your vision.
Speak from your heart.
Come home - back to love.
Have compassion for yourself, for others, for the Earth.
Let go of everything in your life that is not based on Love - on Unconditional Love.
Let your thoughts, words, and actions reflect this Love.
Keep your vision connected to your heart.
We are all connected.
It's up to you.

Here is the link to listen to the music: (accompanying visualization exercise is below)

Visualization Exercise while listening:

• As you listen to the music, visualize healing energy going from your heart to the Gulf Coast and to all the people directly affected by the oil spill.
• Visualize healing energy swirling through the ocean, clearing the toxins and helping to restore ecological balance.
• See healing energy circling the Earth and all it's inhabitants, healing us of the toxins that still lie in our hearts and minds.
• Send prayers of healing and clarity to those in charge of making decisions that will affect the outcome of this.
• Ask that the Highest Good for all concerned be done.

Here's to continuing the Journey.... sending the energy of Love in all we do, say, and think....
