A Healing Meditation for the Gulf

By: Carna Zacharias-Miller | 15 June, 2010
Categories: Spirituality & Metaphysics, Surrogate Tapping, Trauma

A note from Betty Moore-Hafter:

Today's article is a little different. Our Passionate About EFT podcast (6-14-10) featured Carna Zacharias-Miller guiding a tapping meditation to send healing to the Gulf region. We wish to share this meditation with you. Carna suggests that you say the words out loud since invocations and healing blessings are more powerful this way. Begin by tapping on the Karate Chop spot for the "even though" statements, then tap through the points as you continue.

A Tapping Process for Healing

Even though we feel shocked, sad and angry about the Oil Spill in the Gulf,
we choose to stay calm and balanced and loving anyway.

Even though this brings so much pain and hardship to many, we open the door to healing now.

Even though there is so much negative energy coming from this and spreading way beyond the region
we decide to send waves of light and love to the Gulf and into troubled hearts everywhere.

We invoke the universal power of physical healing and spiritual wholeness now

We invoke the power of Mother Earth to clean and restore herself now

We invoke the courage and intelligence and willingness to work together in all people around the world

We open the door to profound change in the Gulf region and everywhere else now

Sending giant waves of love into the Gulf region
Sending giant waves of healing light into the Gulf region

Sending love and healing and courage to Louisiana
Sending love and healing and courage to Mississippi

Sending love and healing and courage Alabama
Sending love and healing and courage to Florida

Sending love and healing and courage all over the country
Sending love and healing and courage all over the world

Compassion, support and healing to the waters of the Gulf
Compassion, support and healing to the ecosystem of the Gulf

Compassion, support and healing to the marine life
Compassion, support and healing to the plants

Compassion, support and healing to the birds
Compassion, support and healing to all animals

Wrapping all the people in the Gulf area who lost so much, in golden light and love.
Sending them courage, perserverance, and spiritual guidance

May this be a lesson we learn well:
Renewing our stewardship of all life on this earth
Pledging to honor and protect all life on this earth

May the blessings be.

A final note

This process can be considered a form of surrogate tapping for the environment. At a time when we feel so helpless, it is something that we can do. At a time when we feel such anger and sadness about the tragedy, it is a way to transform that energy into healing care and positive vision. Surrogate tapping is powerful and our combined energies may make a difference. We would love to hear your experiences with this — comments are welcome.

    Carna,
    Thank you for sharing this beautiful script. I was deeply moved by it. I hope that we can learn the powerful lesson and treat mother earth with more love and respect.

    I have also been tapping on Dr. Masaru Emoto’s prayer:

    “I send the energy of love and gratitude to the water and all the living creatures in the Gulf of Mexico and its surroundings.

    To the whales, dolphins, pelicans, fish, shellfish, plankton, corals, algae, and all living creatures . . . I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.“

    I will also tap using your script often.
    Blessings, Louise

    This is a beautiful meditation for allowing healing instead of anger. It’s the new way for the new earth.

    Carna,

    Thank you so much. These words are so soothing. This helps shift the energy from powerlessness to healing.

    Blessings,
    Susan
