PUrrs 4 Peace Week 33: HEALING means PEACE

"Inner silence promotes clarity of mind; It make us value the inner world; It trains us to go inside To the source of peace and inspiration When we are faced with problems and challenges." - Deepak Chopra

HEALTH and PEACE are intertwined...inseparable. We know this on an individual scale because each of us knows that when we are injured or ill, calm and inner peace are virtually impossible. When we feel fit and well, we at least have the ability to choose a peaceful existence. Similarly, I believe health issues effect peace and are effected by peace on a global scale. Many physicians have posited that health issues are both a consequence and a CAUSE of war. In fact the World Health Organization has a program which seeks to promote peace by providing health care. And not just war. We have seen with the earthquake in Haiti, that bringing health care to the sick and injured after a natural disaster is vital to restoring calm where there is chaos.

Therefore, this week we purr for health and healing for minds, for bodies, and for spirits. There can be no Peace without Health.

Purrrrr, purrrr, purrrrr, purrrrr, purrrr, purrrr, purrrrr, purrrr, purrrrr, purrrr, purrrrr... Purrrrrrrrrrrrr.... See that light extending outside you, touching others. See it healing minds, healing bodies, healing spirits as it spreads.

Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....... Imagine the powerful white light of your purrs touching Haiti and other areas of strife and chaos. Imagine it bringing comfort, love, compassion, and healing to each human and animal.

Purrrr...Imagine, sickness replaced with health; injury replaced by vitality, despair replaced by hope,

Purrrrrrrrr.....Imagine hunger replaced by abundance, hate replaced with compassion, chaos replaced with calm, ambivalence replaced with love.

Purrs 4 Peace Week 33 Announcement: Love Heals

"In health there is freedom. Health is the first of all liberties." -- Henri-Frederic Amiel

This week I considered a number of topics. But as I was preparing to announce another topic, I continued to feel pulled to purr for HEALING. So many of us, our friends and our family are struggling and in need of healing…healing in body, mind or even spirit.

Also, I still feel tremendous sorrowful energy Haiti and its millions who are still dealing with the horrendous aftermath of earthquake there. Haiti’s people and animals…their very society needs healing.

“Love cures people - both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.” ~ Dr.Karl Menninger

Therefore, this week we purrrrrrrrrrrrr for healings of minds from hatefilled, fearfull or anxious thoughts. We purrrrrrrrrrr for the healing of bodies from disease or injury. We purrrrrrrrrrrrr for the healing of spirits from hopelessness and despair.

Purrs 4 Peace Week 32: Haiti needs HEALERS not HATERS

The aftermath of the devastating earthquake in Haiti is still playing out. The stories of the conditions in Haiti and the suffering of animals and humans there are too disturbing to relate. The most recent estimate of human dead I heard this morning was over 100,000. Many millions more are in need of food, water and medical attention.

Who can see the images and hear these stories without an ache in their hearts.

In the midst of what appears to be a cataclysmic loss of life and destruction of an entire nation, most around the world are rallying to aid and comfort those in need.

However, some can only see this event as an opportunity to try to score political points of some sort at the expense of the dead and dying. Rush Limbaugh…if I thought you could feel shame I would say shame on you. But you with your nonsensical comments are in my opinion a classic example of a sociopath which is defined as a person whose behavior is antisocial and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience. Get off the world stage Mr. Limbaugh. Haiti and the WORLD need HEALERS not HATERS.

We need people who will provide solutions, not problems.

Purrs 4 Peace Announcement: Earthquake Disaster in Haiti

A magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck in the impoverished nation of Haiti last Tuesday. The quake seems to have reduced most homes as well as vital buildings such as hospitals, schools and air traffic control towers to rubble. Thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people and animals were killed. Many more hundreds of thousands face death due to lack of water, food, and medical attention. The International Red Cross fears that more than 3 million need emergency assistance.

Teams from countries around the globe including the U.S., Britain, France, Canada, Finland, and China have or are in the process of reaching Haiti to aid in the rescue and relief efforts.

What can we do in the face of such human and animal tragedy?

Dollars are needed to fund efforts. Therefore, donation to legitimate organizations such as the American or International Red Cross, Salvation Army, Unicef, and a variety of others can be made. Most of these sites indicate you can designate that the donation be earmarked for Haiti relief efforts.

My donation will be to an organization that will help with animal rescue and relief since these littlest victims often are ignored. Groups such as the United States Humane Society and the Humane Society International (HSI).

The animal victims aren’t really on the mainstream media’s radar at this point. The only reference to animal victims I have been able to find was on the HSI website which stated: “Humane Society International and The Humane Society of the United States are working with other animal welfare and humanitarian organizations to determine how best to assist animals and people affected by the disaster. We have offered our support in providing care to affected animals. We will post updates as they become available.”

This week we purrrrrr for the victims of the earthquake in Hait. Purr for their rescue, purr for their relief. Purr for their restoration….Particularly those overlooked victims: the animals.
