Hey, girls! I'm about to get heavy on you. A few years ago I first joined the amazing Theresa Gattung and a really special group of women in NZ each week to begin sending out good vibrations together through Ho'oponopono. Barbara Gabler leads the thinking at the same time each week, so no matter where we are, we can reflect on things happening in the world together, knowing that by sending out these vibrations/prayers, we are sending out love multiplied by many. Here is the message for this week, especially pertinent (but not exclusive) to my girlfriends in NZ. x Ree. Here it is: Dear friends, Today I received a few emails requesting advice for Ho'oponopono concerning yesterday's terror attacks. My heart goes out to the victims of terror attacks all over the world. There are many. Daily. Everywhere. I share something I observed. You might know that there have been a lot of suicides amongst Indian farmers as a result of the so called "green revolution" in India. Actually there were more than 15.000 suicides of Indian farmers only over a period of only a few years - I vaguely remember 3 years - it might be more it might be less. One day an Indian farmer called for help. He wrote to Peter Proctor, a New Zealand teacher of biodynamic farming. Peter Proctor was well known for his work in the biodynamic community at that time. From the first moment a film team documented the collaboration between Peter Proctor and Indian farmers. (Barbara Sumner Burstyn and her husband Thomas Burstyn.) The film team followed Peter Proctor from arriving in India to 7 years later, when thousands of Indian farmers had turned to biodynamics and were happy and satisfied with their farms. The soil was shown when they started (dry, dead, no worm life in it....) and the plough men's heels were worn and torn (yes, they are still ploughing with cows there!) Just one year later the same plough man presented his rosy soles to the camera, telling everybody how much the soil had changed, how happy he was and that his feed had stopped bleeding. As I said: within 7 years thousands of farms had changed from dependency of big agricultural monopolists to independent little farms that sold their produce from fruit stalls and via cooperative marketing. People were happy. What impressed me most: the whole documentary (called: One Man One Cow One Planet) did not mention the name of the Agro-Chemical Corporates at all, nobody was blamed and shamed. Therefore no hatred was spilled and everybody kept their energies doing what was right for them. People realised that they could only change themselves. My conclusions were: In this world of ongoing terror I want to stay calm and settled within myself. I want to continue trusting that peace is possible as I am peaceful. I want to focus on my own tendency polarising my world in "the good ones - and the bad ones" because as long as I am doing this there will always be good ones and bad ones. Within 7 years so many farms in India had changed to biodynamics that in the documentary I mentioned above a representative of the Indian government said: "This is the way to go! The Indian subcontinent should go in that direction." Just imagine what we could achieve if we don't feel victimised by what is going on in the world and focus on ourselves. If we do what is good for us... If we actually really do what we think will help create a more peaceful and better world. Everything can change - starting with our bite-sized steps. The Holy Week is a very good time to start this attempt. And here I am with news: Theresa, Chris, Lindy and I are organising a big conference for Women in March 2017. As organisers we founded the "World Women Charitable Trust" - which is hosting the conference. We invited already some amazing women speakers and we are still in the process of doing the website, etc... In case you are interested and want to participate pencil the date in: 17-19 March 2017 in Auckland, in the Viaduct Center. We offer early bird fees (990 NZ Dollar) - as we need to do some down payments for venue, web site, speakers etc. So in case you are interested, please contact Chris. We are doing this as we trust in women. Regardless whether they are Christian or Muslim, Pakeha or Maori, young or old, conservative or vote green - we are all sisters, mothers, daughters .... we want a peaceful and healthy world for ourselves and our loved ones, we want life to go on and we care. This is our way of doing something for the world instead of fighting against something. Creating a bond between women can help change the world. Let's do it! Therefore my Ho'oponopono sentences will be: I am sorry that I am feeling trapped in negativity. Please forgive me for not seeing that I can always do something for you, world. I love you. Thank you. Lots of love to all of you. Namaste and Happy Easter Barbara
