In light of the disaster that continues to unfold in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina, everything else that I was planning to write pales in comparison. By this time, I assume that your prayers and donations have been sent, and perhaps are continuing to be sent. Like many of you, I have been educating myself about how this could have happened.

     First off, the fact that this storm occurred just about the same time of year as the first of the four hurricanes that destroyed so much of Florida last year is not just a coincidence. Nature has always had her late summer storms in this area ... but they have never been so many, or so focused before.

     Whether global warming is exacerbated by humans, or mostly related to undersea volcanoes and phenomena being observed on other planets in our solar system as well, it’s clear that something really big is afoot.

     Over the years, I’ve attended conferences and read books that predicted precisely this sort of unfolding scenario. More than The Day after Tomorrow, if you’re interested in understanding the bigger picture, check out the book by Dr. Nick Begich, Angels Don’t Play This HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program).

     If you’re familiar with my work, you know that one of the pillars of my healing music is that it entrains us to the dominant electro-magnetic resonance frequency of the Earth. Years ago, I read about ongoing research that was seeking to affect this resonance; for better or worse, such experiments had a definite affect on the weather.

     Many of you may already know about the number one late night talk show, Coast to Coast, with host George Noory. Their online archives at www.coasttocoastam.com read like a Who’s Who of leading edge scientists ... with a number of obviously way-over-the-edge individuals as well. You may have to do a bit of sifting to find what makes sense to you, but the search is well worth it.

     In particular, check out the evidence Richard C. Hoagland presents in his recent blogs at www.enterprisemission.com is correct. As a former NASA member and advisor to Walter Cronkite, his perspective on “Why is this happening?” is a real mind-opener, to say the least. The more you know about our world, the better able you’ll be to be in harmony with it.

Keeping Yourself in Tune in Times of Crisis

In the meantime, there are steps you can take in your own life to help keep your own energy fields tuned up and functioning properly. Listening to music that helps you align the key planetary healing frequencies is an effective, easy and enjoyable strategy.

     The key is to make wise choices. I’ve written extensively about that over the past thirty years, and will continue to do so. Bottom line: You need to find sound resources that work for you! And to do so, you need to develop at least a small degree of heightened awareness of how the music is affecting you, specifically in terms of evoking your relaxation response.

     Why is that? Because many people feel that just because they “like” a piece of music, it is good for them, or even healing for them. Read the landmark book by Dr. John Diamond, Your Body Doesn’t Lie, and you will understand the fallacy of that kind of thinking.

     I’ve devoted my life to researching, composing, recording and marketing music that assists listeners in achieving and maintaining a calm, relaxed state of being. No matter what one’s background, this is music that supports our own innate healing energies. Just listening to these sounds can have a profound effect on your physical, emotion and spiritual well-being

     Nothing will bring back New Orleans, but this may help us deal with the future ramifications. Speaking of which, I read today that the Native Americans, several hundred years ago, thought the French were foolish to place the city where they did. They suggested moving the city far enough upstream to avoid exactly what we’re dealing with today, or at least raise it 50 feet above sea level.

     As we’ve learned this week, the wisdom of placing buildings in a predictable flood zone, essentially tempting nature with a series of technologically insufficient levees, must be called into question before repeating the mistake.

The Healing Harmonics of Music and Prayer

It’s also an interesting coincidence that the research of Dr. Masaru Emoto has become so well known and popular, especially as a result of the movie What the Bleep. The True Power of Water explains how molecules of water are affected by our thoughts, words and feelings. As Rev. Judi Baumbach, minister at Science of Mind Church in Calabasas, California, suggests: “Imagine the possibility of transforming the water molecules in New Orleans and up and down the Gulf Coast. Imagine peace, harmony, healing, newness, creating renovation and rejuvenation, impacting the water molecules in that region. ... Spend even a few minutes a day holding these, or related, thoughts. It might be a way to create a positive flood of powerful intention, prayer and healing in the Gulf Coast.”

     Thank you, Rev. Judi, for this suggestion.
