A collective consciousness with Chow Silver Thread Law of Five Elements meditation for Japan and the world....
By Effie Chow
 
Japan is facing the thrust of God and earth's expression of displeasure the way humans have treated nature.  All the other tsunamis, earthquakes, have been messages to us to take heed and change our treatment of Mother Earth and the Heavens.  Incidences have been building up with intensity and if we as humans on this planet do not take great leaps to turn around our destructive forces, the whole Planet though threatened now, will suffer greater consequences...  Yet it is still strange to many that just a small undivided attention will suffice a long way.  We must live with good positive intentions and action with love in our heart, mind and spirit in harmony with nature.  A simple action such as meditation (often known as prayer!) is amazingly powerful although it is still hard for many to perceive that.
 
Please invite all your family, friends and associates to meditate daily for a short or long time at 12 noon wherever you are (the time of the heart in Chinese Medicine) for 100 days. To begin, put a secret smile in your heart, sit/stand straight with proper breathing with the diaphragm. Before sending healing energy, always strengthen yourself first through the Five Elements: let your mind see and feel as you slowly reflect for a few moments on each of the five elements which represents the universe.. fire, earth, metal, water, and wood  Let your heart spirit expand, feel for Japan and its brave people. A collective consciousness can create miracles, it has proven possible ...so see not the terrible pictures, but envision the pristine beauty of Japan, its nature, water, and people...with intentional love for perfection. Importantly, besides Japan, you are also giving beauty and love to the world and yourself. If your surrounding allows it, gently from the diaphragm breath the sound AUM to vibrate through your body/mind/spirit to Japan and to the ends of the universe.  Continue as long as you feel like it.  Bathe in this powerful vibration, sense your feelings...then to silence...feel the depth of it.....  When you wish to end the meditation, again, let your mind see and feel as you slowly think of each of the five elements... fire, earth, metal, water, and wood... to replenish and strengthen yourself after having sent healing energy.  Though coming out of the meditation session, stay in your lovely meditative state in your regular life to be relaxed and free from excessive stress/anxiety. 
 
If you have something special to share from this experience, or wish a longer meditation, please write us. Thank you and blessings. You have made a difference...know it. Loving Qi....with at least 8 hugs and 3 belly-aching laughs a day.....

Come to Learn and Raise Money for Japan!

 

Please take this as a personal note to you.   We very much need your help in fundraising for the most devastating Japan disaster! Their people have been so bravely stoic, and beautiful!  Come support and be together in person at the Congress, or you and all your friends can donate through the website.

 

We have made our East West Academy of Healing Arts sponsored Thirteenth World Congress on Qigong/TCM into a fundraiser for the Japan Disaster Relief.  This Tsunami and nuclear catastrophe is not only destructive to Japan, but to us and to the planet!  There is no containment for chemicals/gasses/energy...

 

I envision that the desperate circumstances of Japan is a clarion call for us in the Qigong/TCM/Natural Healing/CAM community and friends as a supreme opportunity to unite together as a powerful force to be respected and honored and to make a significant impact world-wide.  

 

We all have been working individually heroically and idealistically for health for the individual and the planet to try to prevent what has just happened!  But isolated and separate as "I" and "You", is not enough.....it must be a concerted collective "WE".  We individually have not been able to make the mainstream heed our daily healing miracles (where all else had failed), and our scientists attempting research in this field is frustrated with "NO MONEY", yet research results and data is requested otherwise our daily miracles are "only stories".

 

NOW is the opportunity to become a strong influential force for pro-active action in the DEVELOPMENT of public policies in health and life at the Washington DC and international level to include Qigong/TCM/Natural Healing/CAM, not to only react/complain with already passed legislation.  

 

At present our community has no voice or official status. This is why I feel that if we can speak strongly through our cooperative efforts and our ability to raise significant funds to aid in Japan's crisis, they will begin to hear us!  Unfortunately it is money that speaks the loudest in this western society and today's world.

 

Our goal is to raise at least $50,000 by the end of the Thirteenth World Congress, May 2, 2011 by each one of us soliciting our contacts to donate!  

 

Can you please encourage your "loyal fans-students-clients-friends" to donate to the Japan Fund?  With your immense mailing lists or listeners...with encouragement, you can make such a significant dent into that goal!  

 

Large or small it will be very much appreciated and truly make a difference. If a person commits to raise in this month $1000, we need only 50 people to reach the $50,000 goal by the Congress! Of course it would be wonderful if there are some big donors!  Below are only a few ideas on raising money.  

 

I am CONFIDENT that if we continue to combine our forces together, that in the next year before our next World Congress in 2012 we can raise at least one million dollars (hopefully many millions) for the Japan crisis (other crisis?), but also for Qigong/energy natural healing research and to influence policy development. 

 

One of our goals of the Congress was to be a springboard for raising funds for Qigong/Energy Healing Research, but for this Congress, because of the Japan emergency status we will now designate our proceeds from the activities leading up to and the days of the Congress to the Japanese Relief Fund.  

 

We are working with the Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Northern California in San Francisco which is one of the largest Japanese communities in the nation.  They have identified trusted NGO's in Japan to work with, one being the YMCA. 

 

For ones who wish to donate, they can come to our Congress to show personal support, and/or if they cannot come, we appreciate a donation large or small.  It all will add up.  We will be setting up a family tree of contributors to the Qigong/TCM/Natural Healing/CAM community fund for Japan.  This will document our strong force of cooperation amongst this community.

 

We wish also to make this fundraising a serious one with fun kinds of activity!  Our Congress program will be a spectacular extravaganza as usual and even better this year with the stars involved! People will learn to heal self and others as they help in a global disaster! There will be a friendly competition with prizes for those who raise the most monies in these categories:

1)  Individuals

2)  Corporations and businesses

3)  Non-profits and community agencies

4)  Media TV/Radio programs

5)  Stars for Qigong/TCM/Natural Healing/CAM community

 

Suggestions: 

1)     One can also donate books, videos, products, classes for our raffle/silent auction and the donor will receive further publicity for their work and products. They may be sent to Congress - Sharon Chism, Hotel Whitcomb Catering Sales Director, 1231 Market Street, San Francisco, California 94103 Direct: 415-487-4439  Fax: 415-487-4489.  schism@hotelwhitcomb.com www.hotelwhitcomb.com

2)    One can designate a certain percentage of their earnings in the next few months to the Japan Fund

3)    Be an ambassador to motivate your circle of friends/acquaintances to help raise money.  Commit yourself to raise a certain amount,  ie. $1000, $5000, etc. in this month before the Congress.

4)    If you know restaurant or business owners, inspire them to dedicate certain days that they will give a certain percentage to the Japan Fund.  It will also be good for their business.

5)    People can pledge to be responsible for raising or donating a certain amount of $ by a certain time.

6)    Organize dinners, small or large “fun” fundraising events,

7)     And many more ways....we are open to suggestions

I look forward to your comments and suggestions or other creative ideas, and your partnering with us.  

 

An important last note is my immediate request for everyone to please meditate daily at 12 noon (wherever one is), the time of the heart in Traditional Chinese Medicine, even if for a moment's focus/concentration and can meditate another time.  But in meditaton, please breathe deeply and properly with the diaphragm, feel connected to the entire universe, image Japan, the people (and the planet) in total pristine beauty whatever you portray that to be.  Do not think of the ugliness and destruction at all.  Only have beautiful images and positive thoughts for the land and its people.  I have a short meditation if one does not have one.  It is also important to end the meditation feeling yourself strong, powerful and serene. Thank you and Blessings.

 

In loving Qi,

Dr. Chow – Effie  And the Congress Committee
