To the suffering.
 

I was going to say a brief prayer and make a short comment on my profile but I decided I should create a thread instead. Whether anyone reads this thread or not matters not to me.

What matters is the plight of the suffering. In every catastrophe be it at home or abroad, I have sent out my healing, donated money and prayed for the dead. I have done what little I could, even some charity work.

Tonight, after being bombarded by news and footage of the dead and hurt from Haiti I would like to ask the Reiki practitioners, and other healers amongst us, like myself to send a massive wave of healing power to everyone that is suffering. I can only ask.

In this case, permission needed to help an individual need not be asked as all who suffer trauma are already asking for help and want to be helped. All we need to do is give it.

May we discover through pain and torment,
the strength to live with grace and humor.
May we discover through doubt and anguish,
the strength to live with dignity and holiness.
May we discover through suffering and fear,
the strength to move toward healing.
May it come to pass that we be restored to health and to vigor.
May Life grant us wellness of body, spirit, and mind.
And if this cannot be so, may we find in this transformation and passage
moments of meaning, opportunities for love
and the deep and gracious calm that comes
when we allow ourselves to move on.

- Rabbi Rami M. Shapiro

By my own will and with my own power and with my own Divinity, I send out healing of mind, body and spirit to all who are suffering.

May you know peace.
May you know comfort.
May you know love.
May you know the kiss of hope,
And the touch of healing.
May you know the surcease of pain.
May your hurts be healed,
And your tears be dried,
For a new day will dawn.

It matters not, what race or creed or religion a person follows. What matters is humanity standing together in times of need.

People speak of love, of peace, of solidarity and support and yet there are those out there who do nothing. If there were more solidarity in the world, there would be a bit less pain and suffering.

Dear winterwolf
your words and the others on this thread reduced me to tears .
I hear your call to send Reiki .
this is done
I wondered if I could put this link here as I am not sure where best to put it .
ttp://www.lifesaversystems.com/
They distribute empowering bottles that can clean the filthiest
water ,everything except sea water .This enables people to stay
in there communities rather than be displaced where possible.
each bottle is capable of filthering thousands of litres .

This thread is as good as anywhere else to put that link.

The suffering of one nation could be the suffering of all nations. Haiti's plight could be ours one day. I hope in that time if it should happen, others would also extend a helping hand to us too.

In giving of oneself selflessly does on truly receive.

I join you WinterWolf in sending out my Divine Spark to aid in healing all those who suffer in mind, body and spirit. I send my past, present and future energies to aid in those in need of immediate help. May the blessed winds speed the healing and comfort to those in need.

When we send aid to others we heal ourselves.

As always

Hi

Thank you for this thread.

From that place deep within my heart I call forth and envision all of humanity joining thru this challenge to create a deep and abiding love for all of life on this wonderful planet.

I envision that out of this darkness comes a light so magnificent and a shift so power-filled that it will be talked about and sung about and dreamt about for many generations to come.

....because..we are awesome, magnificent, life-loving beings coming to the end of our journey from separation and into oneness.

So Be It
It Is So
In Love

Blessings and healing to those who have been newly found amidst the darkened rubble and coldness of the night in Haiti. May your recovery be swift both physically and emotionally.

May all of the Haitians who have suffered so terribly be embraced by the outpouring of healing and love from around the world.

It is cold,
It is dark,
It is frightening,
Here in the dark.
Where is the light?
Where is the hand,
That reaches out to help?
Am I alone?
Is no one near?
Will I die under this rubble?
"Live," whispers Hope,
"There will be a tomorrow."
Light endures, Love, endures,
Rescue is here for Hope burns eternal.

I dedicate this very beautiful song to the Haitians of Haiti.

I couldn't get the embedding to work so here's a link to YouTube for My City of Ruins.

My City of Ruins - Bruce Springsteen

There's a blood red circle
on the cold dark ground
and the rain is falling down
The church doors blown open
I can hear the organ's song
But the congregation's gone

My city of ruins
My city of ruins

Now the sweet veils of mercy
drift through the evening trees
Young men on the corner
like scattered leaves
The boarded up windows
The empty streets
While my brother's down on his knees

My city of ruins
My city of ruins

Come on rise up!
Come on rise up!

Now there's tears on the pillow
darling where we slept
and you took my heart when you left
without your sweet kiss
my soul is lost, my friend
Now tell me how do I begin again?

My city's in ruins
My city's in ruins

Now with these hands
I pray Lord
with these hands
for the strength Lord
with these hands
for the faith Lord
with these hands
I pray Lord
with these hands
for the strength Lord
with these hands
for the faith Lord
with these hands

Come on rise up!
Come on rise up!
Come on rise up!
Come on rise up!
Come on rise up!
Rise up


May the survivors rise up and be strong.
