debyemm I moved the Rumi Quote to Related Philosophies, Books & Authors. The Rumi's in the Daily Guides are related to a book by Coleman Barks that breaks down some of the poems into daily readings. I think a thread devoted only to ANY quotes by Rumi anyone might want to post is a good idea. I have a new Coleman Barks book of more Rumi translations that will probably fit into there in the future. (3 months ago)

AUM for Peace and Mother Earth

Alluvja said Sep 20, 5:50 PM:

 

I would like to copy  a blog I Posted on Sep 12th, 2009 by Alluvja

It is so heartwarming to see how people over the entire globe tune into the call to awaken into higher consciousness and in doing so render to be of service for healing whatever needs healing as result of old paradigms patterns.
I have a neighbour and a copple of friends around here that are going to do a 24 hour meditative AUM chanting marathon with the intention to send love and healing energy to Mother Earth.  Some of the intiators of this core group have been working with sound healing for quite a while as a meditative practice as well as professionally.
There is going to be a core group of around 20-25 people that will be staying in a small chapel on oktober 4th thru 5th and they will be alternating but continuous chanting for 24 hours, also connected with other friends abroad and in private homes in the Netherlands as well as other European countries.
They have been preparing this very enthousiastic and thoughtfully since june and are meeting regularly to do meditation, practices and grounding exercises etc. The manifestation so far have been beautifully, they have a nature food company that sponsors the food, there are people to help them with all kind of services (including massages!) etc.
I am not going to join this coregroup myself since I am planning a little vacation around that time but I will attent some of the meetings before and chant privately some of the time and I have offered my services to bring this further out into the world through gaia and other on and off line connections.
Because this is the first time,  they have kept the core group small but the intention is to make this a yearly event and let it grow organically.  And naturally the invitation is out for all who resonate with this to connect with them and form coregroups elsewhere so the chant will grow stronger.

One of the initiators just sent me an english translation of a text she made for me to share here with you:

The first AOM - Marathon!   this is a message I send to all of you, take a moment to breath and to read it with your heart
We have a vision: Weaving a Web of Soundwaves around the world in 24 hours To sound for 24 hoursJust like our friends the whales can send a message around the world in 24 hours.. 
We will send our frequencies of compassion and remembrance around the world through the sacred mantra of AOM Een wake up call. A nurturing call. A loving call. Our call! The calling of the whales tell us it has to be now that we, people stand up and make a difference in our own way, the best way we know. Let's do it together in our way. Our sounding language. Together as a soundtribe! We CAN make a difference through our strong intent and belief!!!On the 4th of october we will sound the AOM for 24 hours. We start at 13:00 our pm (dutch time) A group of 20 to 25 dutch people who are dedicated and willing to do something extra for our beloved mother earth and it's residents. We found an incredible place that is willing to give us their chapel for 24 hours for free. FANTASTIC.
�� We are SO EXCITED, and so longing to hear all your reactions. Are you willing to PARTICIPATE, take a risk and join US!! ��� Sending you HEAPS AND HEAPS of spring passion, love and JOY Marieke and Marinet

If you are interested to be a part of this event and connect with them please let me know asap.

Blessing to you all and to our beloved Mother Earth.

Lucienne

Lucienne,

I am so happy that you are sharing this with us here in the Living Metaphysics group because I love for us to have experiential practice as often as possible.  I see a synchronicity in the timing of your local group's work with Eli leaving upon his journey.  The focus of the energies on sending love and healing energy to Mother Earth are so very much in alignment with Eli's vision for the 9:09 Gaia Minute.


I will certainly intend to “tune in” as often as possible, during that 24 hr period of Oct 4th through 5th, to what the group there locally with you are doing. 


I remember taking part in a 24 hr peace vigil.  I had a one hour period in the middle of the night that I was personally the center of our group in meditation.  The Berlin Wall fell not long after that.  I believe it was not only our group doing that work but that we were part of a larger effort.  It was just so long ago and I was much less experienced at the time.


Many significant changes are coming into manifestation with these energies now currently being generated.  I wait patiently without expectation to see what wonder is building for me to see from these current efforts.


Peace & Blessings -
Deb

Deb,

Thank you for tuning in. Yes there is so much synchronicity going on world wide.  This is were we see the results of tuning in collectively on the energies of the changing paradigm, this is what happens when we tune in on the true essence of love that constitues our being beyond all the appearances.
It is very beautiful, yet still so much to be done for this world and her millions of souls still looking for peace, health and shelter. And for Gaia that needs our love and respect and proper stewardship. And for our own hearts and souls that need to reconnect to the love whenever we feel lost again.
I am so happy and grateful to be part of this Gaia community,  it feels like family more and more.
Hugs,
Your sis Lucienne.

You asked for a picture of the chapel in another blog, I found one on the web, I haven't been there yet myself, may be I'll go visit next tuesday.
It was offered freely to the core group to use for this event for 24 hours!

Lucienne, I just took a little stroll through Utrecht in Google Earth…
Quite a little place there, it is!!! I got way lost but had much fun.
Here's a little teaser for everyone else with great photographs and insightful info.
A walk around Utrecht, Netherlands. Funny stuff in the windows, don't you think?

I plugged in the address of the Chapel and this is what I found.
I will tie into the vibration, ripple heartbeat on Oct 4th and 5th is possible.

Thank You for the shares.

Lars, that was a nice thing to do to stroll around Utrecht! That were some nice pics, the only  thing about it was that it looked a bit like the city was deserted. I have quite a different impresson of Utrecht. It's a city of over 300.000 people and 3 universities and eventhough I dont go there that often, the times I do it's  usually very crowded in the old center,  lots of people on the street, loads of nice shops, little cafe's, students etc.
Anyway,  you know what's really hilarious about one of the pictures , which you probably didn't notice not speaking dutch,  the one with the saucy old postcards showing some oldfashioned looking nudes, there is a old (1949) yellow poster hanging on the window next to the nudes and it says: Help the missionary, 1.300.000.000 pagans ! Lol! 
Here some more pictures, the basement spaces next to the old canal have little restaurants and in the summer it's always crowed with people sitting on the terraces.

Latest news on the AUM MARATHON.

A reminder for those who want to tune into chanting the AUM for peace and wellbeing on our beloved Mother Earth.

The marathon starts (full moon) Sunday Oct. 4th 12 noon and will end Monday Oct. 5, 12.00 noon DUTCH time (see time zone converter). For anone who hasn't done so yet, more info is to find in my blogs from sept. 12 as well as sept. 21.

I would like to introduce you to a friend of mine, a wonderful dutch lady called Marinet who is the initiator of the whole event (together with her friend, my neighbour Marieke). She does have a Gaia account, made on my invitation last year. Unfortunetely she hasn't done anything yet on Gaia ( I just sent her all the instructions for newbys and after my vacation she might just come by my house so I can help her a bit showing her how the site works) but nevertheless it might be an inspiration for her to start doing so if you'd say hi to her.
I talked to her the other day and she's delighted that people want to join in and she asked me to ask anyone who really wants to do so to affirm that as well as their location, so she can introduce you energetically to the circle in the opening ceremony on sunday.
I think the core group present in the chapel chanting is around 30 people now (plus some people that will help them with services of food, coaching etc.) And then there are the people scattered all over the world tuning in with them.

Happy AUMING!
Much love and blessings,
Lucienne

Lucienne,
I will definitely be tuning in…we are all gazing at the same Moon…and so our connection is intensified through the chanting of AUM as well :)

I loved, loved the photos of your home in the Netherlands…I ADORE the houses lining the canal…my mind took quite a joyful trip into the pics :)….how I would LOVE to wake up, stroll down the stairs in the back of the house (front? LOL) to the water's edge…ohhhh blisss :)

Aum Shanti Shanti Shanti OM~~<3

Dear Ariela,

I knew you be be chaniting along sister! How wonderful!

Btw the pics were not of my town and house but of the city of Utrecht, which is central netherlands. However you'll find many such places in the Netherlands. Myself, I'm from Amsterdam but have lived in a smaller town a bit north from there for some years.  It's an old town with a wonderful harbour (there are some pics in my photogalery of the coastline).   I live in a living community with 31 apartments in an old 17th century courtyard which is our communal garden as well. I will post some pics one of these days.

AUM SHanti dear One!
Hugs,
Lulu

Lars,

Happy to hear you're tuning in Lars.
You can just tune in the Aum at any time convenient for you.

I sent Marinet a letter with the  profile links of everyone who is going to chant along some time or another so she can welcome you all in the opening ceremony.
Have a blessed weekend,

Lucienne,

Thanks for the time converter.  It is easier to use if you click on the “Sort by Country” on the Time Zone List: (upper right corner).  Lars is right, that makes it 5am, my time, on Sunday.  I will make an “intention” to wake early, so I can “start” with your group on this.

I will connect with you sweet ladies Ariela & Meenakshi (for whom it will be a more reasonable 6am hour) and Lars too.  Lucienne, I think I will spend perhaps 30 mins in the quiet of my sleeping home OMing to the YouTube below and thinking of you and the others.  Then, I will go back to sleep for awhile and dream OMs because that really is early for me.

During the day, I will tune in often and especially, when I go for my Sunday hike (which you know is when I do the Beckwith Life Visioning session), I will follow that, while in that slightly altered state by connecting with your group again.

Thanks for including us in such a “real” way.  What a blessing.  Ariela, so happy you came here and to know we will “work” together a bit tomorrow.

Deb

I'ts a little tricky- that time converter. It shows :

05:00:00 a.m. Sunday October 4, 2009 in EST
and 06:00:00 a.m. Sunday October 4, 2009 in US/East-Indiana

I think  you're right, Deb–it's probably 6 am.

Hallo all my lovelies, so nice to have you Auming along. I started out a bit weird, I have been feeling a bit ill the last days (nothing major, just a cold) so it was quite a challenge for me Auming through the feeling lousy. But I really had a real good sense of connecting to the circle, you all included.
Meanwhile I have to pack for my trip tomorrow so I'll be Auming off and on and Yes Nino you are closest to the fire, I'm so happy about that! Yes please energize :) !

Safe and pleasant travels, Helen, my dear friend.  I am also joining in as and when I can.  Sometimes just a passing thought, sometimes much more focused.  Just very much flowing with it.

Aware of the Harvest Aries Full Moon energies and my birth family's needs (especially my homeless youngest sister, Lyn, who I spoke to this morning - thanks to Divine Love manifesting a shower, some breakfast and the use of a phone by some open-hearted people, aware of her state of being) AND doing my 9:09 Gaia Minute meditation in the Pacific time zone this morning, I intentionally connected with the AUM Marathon energies in the Netherlands in that beautiful little chapel (thanks for the image Lucienne) during my main meditation session today (while sitting on solid rock near a beautiful little waterfall under an overcast sky) and brought into this, the Spiritual Mind Treatment for Harmonizing with our Mother Earth, Gaia, (my prayer posted in the 9:09 thread yesterday) and then, I moved into my weekly Life Visioning thanks to Michael Bernard Beckwith's work on cd.

Wow, any question remaining that I am a Gemini ?  Love, peace, appreciation, respect & harmony unfolding in beautiful ways.

Blessings and in Joy
