The Momentum of Good – Shifting Our Thoughts Toward Healing For Our Planet

What we give our attention to expands and grows — regardless of whether it is positive or negative, or good or bad. Could this also apply to the recent oil-spill tragedy in the Gulf? If we continue to give negative emphasis and angry energy directed to BP, its President, corporate identity and Board, wouldn’t that perhaps just continue to make a dire situation worse?

In my heart, I have felt very personally affected by this man-made tragedy. As humans, I strongly believe we are responsible for taking good care of Mother Earth which sustains us, being kind to the creatures of this planet as well as the entire ecosystem. We have certainly fallen short big-time with this responsibility. Just continuing to place anger and blame right now will not bring a solution. To counteract the blame, the hostility and the frustration, we need to start envisioning some healing. We need to keep expanding on the forces of good.

In light of this, I am sharing some thoughts from a student/friend of mine:

“I do believe absolutely in good as a force, and that when we do good a cloud of blessings arises and expands and keeps on expanding. I believe that speaking about good, even naming good, pronouncing the word, increases the momentum of good, makes it gather force and grow… And if I believe this, why may there not be the opposite?

Because I do not want to add to the momentum of negativity, I will not name the opposite force nor discuss it nor do I want to contemplate it. I will not water poisonous plants … my feeling is that good expands infinitely as people work with it… So we must add to the momentum of good.” ~~ Alexandra Converse (Alexandra, thank you for sharing your insights!)

People who firmly believe in the Law of Attraction will instantly say that is part of the LOA theory. But whatever your beliefs, it certainly would be better to add to the “momentum of good” as opposed to the opposite.

In terms of the Gulf, let us focus on a solution, holding the picture of a cleared area with the beginnings of a rebirth. Joining thoughts, hearts and prayers in a connected flow is one powerful way to send healing and hope in that direction.

In the broader perspective, there may eventually be some good that arises out of this — perhaps a more united front of caring for and preserving our natural resources. Maybe the oil companies and big business have had a wake-up call — just maybe. And deep in my heart, I choose to believe in the “momentum of good.”

Affirmations to help support the planet:

• I see healing flowing to this planet and envision the Earth as vital and healthy!
• I direct powerful, positive thoughts toward areas that need rebirth.
• Each day, I take “green” steps and actions toward a brighter future.
