For five minutes, sound healers, meditators, peace activists and lovers of all humanity and sentient consciousness will send a Sonic Valentine to the Earth with the heartsound &amp;quot;AH&amp;quot; filled with the intention of Peace and Love! (visit:&lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://mcsv.net/cgi-bin/redir?MCid=jBdqIb85ZY6BhDXXl69I" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;www.healingsounds.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for more information on this event and to download an &amp;quot;AH&amp;quot; sound you can tone with)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHEN&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;strong&gt;February 14, 2007&lt;/strong&gt;, join Jonathan Goldman, the Sound Healers Association and thousands of people throughout the planet as they tone an &amp;quot;AH&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;together for five minutes during that day, projecting the energy of Light &amp;amp; Love throughout the Planet.&amp;nbsp; You will actually experience generating a field of transformational energy as this occurs.&amp;nbsp; Any time on February 14&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; that you feel guided to sound for Planetary Peace is a good time!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In addition, local toning groups will be occurring throughout the Earth at various times during that day with the intention of assisting planetary consciousness through sound.&amp;nbsp; There will also be several global toning events occurring via the Internet during that day, including at noon Eastern Time on www.healthyliving.net and at 9 PM Eastern Time on www.allonenow.org. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Please note: We have found that creating a Global Sacred Sound any time within a 24 hour period at any place on the planet will create a coherent waveform that will affect the entire Earth. Creating a sound at one specific moment is &lt;u&gt;not&lt;/u&gt; necessary for our purpose).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHY:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;To project peace throughout the planet.&lt;/strong&gt; What better way to celebrate this joyous day of Valentine&amp;#39;s Day then to project Peace to Mother Earth and generate peaceful energy throughout the planet with sound! Sound coupled with intention has the ability to heal and transform. We will sound an &amp;quot;AH&amp;quot; sending a wave of Sound that will resonate throughout the planet. Now is the time for you to be part of the Celestial Choir and resonate together for &lt;strong&gt;World Sound Healing Day&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;We can create major positive shifts on our beloved planet. Through sounding together we will make a difference.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HOW: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sound the heart sound &amp;quot;AH&amp;quot; for 5 minutes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;We will simply sound an &amp;quot;AH&amp;quot; filled with the intention of Peace and Love for 5 minutes. This can be done individually or with a group any time on February 14&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; that is convenient.&amp;nbsp; The &amp;quot;AH&amp;quot; is a universal, non-denominational heart sound that when projected with focused energy is extremely powerful and effective. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AND: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pass this message on.&lt;/strong&gt; If it&amp;#39;s appropriate, forward this announcement about this event to your mailing list or list it on your website.&amp;nbsp; Tell your friends and loved ones to join our Celestial Choir and help bring peace to the planet. There will be sound healing events throughout the world.&amp;nbsp; This is the 5&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; World Sound Healing Day.&amp;nbsp; Each previous year has been a tremendous success, creating powerful positive vibrational shifts for the planet. Please join us again in the co-creation of this event, projecting Light and Love through Sound and help make a difference!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CO-CREATED BY&lt;/strong&gt;: Co-creators and Supporters of World Sound Healing Day are truly too numerous to list.&amp;nbsp; The following are only a very small portion of the people whose support assisted previous World Sound Healing Days:&amp;nbsp; Jonathan Goldman, Andi Goldman, the Sound Healers Association, Kitaro, Chris James,&amp;nbsp;Gregg Braden, Tom Kenyon,&amp;nbsp;Barbara Wolf, Ven.

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tortuga.com/eng/library/rainbowbridgemeditation/rainbowbridge_large.jpg"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.tortuga.com/eng/library/rainbowbridgemeditation/rainbowbridge_small.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="400" height="383" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The purpose of this Meditation is to generate a telepathic wave of love that connects ourselves with the center of the Earth, with the bipolar rainbow alternators that hold Earth&amp;#39;s magnetic fields in place, and with all of the other planetary kin who are doing the same meditation. By establishing this world-wide telepathic Earth wave we are creating a matrix of communication which brings the noosphere - Earth&amp;#39;s mental envelope - ever closer into conscious manifestation. &lt;strong&gt;This matrix also provides a protective field of genuinely positive thought vibrations meant to maintain Earth&amp;#39;s resonant field in a state of harmony and peace.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The goal of this annual meditation exercise is to actually manifest Earth&amp;#39;s Rainbow bridge &lt;br /&gt;-the day-night alternators of Earth&amp;#39;s magnetic field - &lt;br /&gt;by the closing of the cycle, Winter (North) Summer (South) solstice, 2012. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Rainbow Bridge is the bridge of peace long prophesied that will permanently connect the third-dimensional Earth with the fourth and higher dimensions, assuring a peace and harmony that will not be able to be broken&lt;/strong&gt;. In order that all beings may participate in this meditation whether or not they have ever heard of the synchronic order, we offer this universal version of the Day Out of Time Rainbow Bridge World Peace Meditation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may do this alone or in a group - early in the day is best, but whenever you do it is fine. If you are in a group, gather in a circle if you can, seated on the ground or floor if possible, with your legs crossed. Take a few deep breaths, inhaling what is negative, transmuting that within yourself and then exhaling what is positive and purifying. Then close your eyes. Visualize that you are in the center of the Earth. Then visualize the giant octahedron crystal core. Four faces of the crystal end in a point along the North polar axis. The other Four join at a point aligned with the South polar axis. Surrounding the giant octahedron crystal is the Earth&amp;#39;s inner membrane, like a drum resonating the surface of the outer Earth. The Northern half of the crystal has two red and two white faces; the Southern half has two blue and two yellow faces.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now you go inside the crystal. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the center of this giant crystal is an intensely blazing point of white light. An etheric column or axis of light extends North and South from the blazing center point through the tips of the octahedron going on to the North and South poles at the Earth&amp;#39;s exterior. Around this etheric vertical magnetic axis of light, are two intertwined flux tubes through which plasmic energy is continuously passing. Coiled around each other like the two strands of DNA, the flux tubes are red and blue in color. They deliver plasma -electrically charged ions - to the blazing point at the center of the Earth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Strung on the northern axis of this column of light with the two flux tubes wound around it is the red time atom. Around the southern axis of light is the blue time atom. The red and blue polar time atoms turn in opposite directions to each other, the red northern time atom in a clockwise direction, the blue southern time atom in a counterclockwise direction. The time atoms consist of seven points: a center point two points at either end of the vertical axis, and two points each -four points in all- equidistant to each other on either side of the central axis. The six outer points of the time atoms are almost in the shape of a hexagon, a six-sided figure&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The gravitational plane of the octahedron crystal, emanates horizontally out from the blazing luminous center of the crystal, extending to the the four points that mark the edges of the crystal, where the four northern and four southern faces of the octahedron meet. The gravitational plane connecting these four points is like the base of two pyramids - one pyramid extends from this base with four faces to the northern point of the octahedron, and the other four faces to the southern point. Along this gravitational plane exactly opposite each other are two more time atoms: a white one and yellow one. These two gravitational time atoms are constructed just as the the red and blue polar time atoms, except that their two axial points are aligned with the gravitational plane, lying on their side as it were and perpendicular to the polar time atoms. These white and yellow time atoms turn around like paddle wheelers making a slow circular motion, counterclockwise, from left to right around the central point of blazing luminosity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you have visualized the octahedron crystal core of the Earth with its eight faces, four time atoms, etheric column of light and two flux tubes, then visualize that from the center of the crystal a great stream of multicolored plasma filled light shoots up in both directions toward both of Earth&amp;#39;s poles. Now you have gone from the center of the Earth to a point out in space where you are seeing the whole Earth. While you can still see the crystal octahedron at the center of the Earth, at the North and South poles the stream of light shoots out to become a great double rainbow bridge -the day alternator and the night alternator of Earth&amp;#39;s magnetic field made visible. Two rainbow streams connect the North and South Poles of the Earth, exactly 180 degrees apart from each other. As the Earth slowly revolves on its axis, this rainbow bridge remains steady and constant, unmoving.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you have completed the visualization take the whole Earth revolving beneath the rainbow bridge and place it in your heart. Imagine the two streams of light shooting out through your central column above your head and beneath your feet. Now they make a similar rainbow bridge around your body, holding your aura in place. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now you and the Earth are one. The Rainbow Bridge of World Peace is real. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is a science behind all of this. What exists at first in the imagination, visualized by enough people in a telepathic wave of love, will in time become a reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.13moon.com/"&gt;www.13moon.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>A cosmic trigger event is occurring on the 17th of October 2006</title>
      <author>#</author>
      <dc:creator>Your Fantasy</dc:creator>

      <description>


&lt;p&gt;      This is the beginning, one of many trigger events to come between now and 2013. An ultraviolet (UV) pulse beam radiating from higher dimensions in universe-2 will cross paths with the Earth on this day. Earth will remain approximately within this UV beam for 17 hours of your time. This beam resonates with the Heart Chakra, it is radiant fluorescent in nature, blue/magenta in color. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although it resonates in this frequency band, it is above the color frequency spectrum of your universe-1 which you, Earth articulate in. However due to the nature of your soul and soul groups operating from Universe-2 frequency bands it will have an effect. The effect is every thought and emotion will be amplified intensely one million-fold. Yes, we repeat, all will be amplified one million times and more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every thought, every emotion, every intent, every will, no matter if it is good, bad, ill, positive, negative, will be amplified one million times in strength. What does this mean? Since all matter manifest is due to your thoughts, i.e. what you focus on, this beam will accelerate these thoughts and solidify them at an accelerated rate making them manifest a million times faster than they normally would.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those that do not comprehend: your thoughts; what you focus on, creates your reality. This UV beam thus can be a dangerous/powerful tool. For if you are focused on thoughts which are negative to your liking they will manifest into your reality almost instantly. Then again this UV beam can be a gift if you choose it to be.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mission 1017 requires approximately one million people to focus on positive, benign, good-willed thoughts for themselves and the Earth and Humanity on this day. Your thoughts can be of any nature of your choosing, but remember whatever you focus on will be made manifest in are relatively faster than anticipated time frame.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To some the occurrences may almost be bordering on the miracle. All we ask is positive thoughts of love, prosperity, healing, wealth, kindness, gratitude to be focused on. This UV beam comes into full effect for 17 hours on October 17, 2006. No matter what time zone you are in the hours are approximately 10:17 AM on October 17 to 1:17 AM on October 18. The peak time will be 17:10 (5:10 PM) on the 17th October.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You do not need to be in a meditative state through out this time, though it would be beneficial. The main key time no matter what time zone you are in will be the peak time of 17:10 (5:10 PM). Perhaps at this time if you can find a peaceful spot or location to focus. The optimum is out in the vicinity of grounded nature, likened to that of a large tree or next to the ocean waves. Focus on whatever it is you desire. What is required for the benefit of all Earth and Humanity is positive thoughts of loving nature. We call this UV beam trigger event, &amp;quot;818&amp;quot; gateway. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please forward this message to as many people as you know who will use this cosmic trigger event to focus positive, good willed thoughts. We require approximately 1-million people around the globe to actively participate in this event. Please use whatever communication mediums you have at your disposal. Reach out to as many people as possible. We require 1-million plus people at the least to trigger a shift for humanity from separation and fragmentation to one of Unification and Oneness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is our opportunity to take back what is rightfully ours i.e. Peace and Prosperity for all Earth and Mankind. This is a gift, a life line from your universe so to speak, an answer to your prayers. What you do with it and whether or not you choose to participate is your choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mission1017 Raphiem/Blue from:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://sethd8.wordpress.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://sethd8.wordpress.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

You might want to fortify yourself a bit before you do....it is not a pretty story, he speaks most eloquently of the dire effects of poverty and disease on his country and its people.......although the events in the Middle East remain of much concern...their resolution lies in the hearts and minds of those at war.......the enemies of disease and poverty are ones that we can all fight every day in our own lives in the ways that will be revealed to us if we open our hearts and minds to them....&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Namaste&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Annette &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Annette,

Thanks for your wonderful transparency regarding your &#8220;self esteem hurdle&#8221;. In my experience you have hit the bulls-eye. Where we all have self esteem issues is where we have war and discord. This is the only hurdle that exists in me too. That is a beautiful reminder you are offering. I think if we turn within to face the self esteem issues that we all have, we raise our own vibration to that of love and consequently the vibration of the planet is raised. And every one of us can make a difference.

That is why I feel that if we focus attention on a conflict, wishing for peace and sending prayer, we sometimes simply give energy to it. On the other hand, if we focus love and compassionate understanding on all the conflicted places in us that are struggling with esteem we raise our vibration, each other&#8217;s vibration and expand the planet&#8217;s capacity to love itself. The ripple effect at work!

What if we focus on who we really are? - God. Love. Our forgetfulness is perhaps what leads to conflict.

You inspired me to think about this. Thank you so much. 

Simon &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;from Simon&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks for the update. May I make a small suggestion? I feel that if we simply acknowledge that we are already the peace and love that you describe the search for, it will exist. If enough of us hold the space of simply owning that experience, it WILL be the experience. I am love and so are you!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Namaste and love &lt;br /&gt;Simon&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;They also serve who only fall asleep during meditation...........&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yes my hope would be for better days....but meanwhile let us find the joy and the peace in the days we have....bit more of a challenge there...maybe this could be the focus for our next week of meditation.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Respectfully Annette&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;This thought stopped in at one of my 6 am meditation sessions:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You know when people are at their most peaceful?&amp;nbsp; When they are sleeping.&amp;nbsp; So, I&amp;#39;m going to take an active step in the promotion of peace and....zzzzzzzzz....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was there in spirit guys, not so much in mind :0S .&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;R*&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
