So far three students have emailed this same prayer to Matt and I to share with the dojo community.  Here is what was sent.

Dr. Masaru Emoto’s Healing Prayer for the Gulf
Focusing our energies in response to the Gulf tragedy and for healing the waters and its inhabitants -  Yesterday at our spiritual center we read a letter from Dr. Masaru Emoto who many of you will recognize as the scientist from Japan who has done all the research and publications about the characteristics of water.   Among other things, his research reveals that water physically responds to emotions.   Right now, most of us have the predominantly angry emotion when we  consider what is happening in the Gulf.  And while certainly we are justified in that emotion, we may be of greater assistance to our planet and its life forms, if we sincerely, powerfully and humbly pray the prayer that Dr Emoto, himself, has proposed.
“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, coral, algae, and all living creatures . . . I am sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you. ”
We are passing this request to people who we believe might be willing to participate in this prayer, to set an intention of love and healing that is so large, so overwhelming that we can perform a miracle in the Gulf of Mexico . We are not powerless. We are powerful.  Our united energy, speaking this prayer daily…multiple times daily….can literally shift the balance of destruction that is happening.
We don’t have to know how……we just have to recognize that the power of love is greater than any power active in the Universe today.  If moved to do so, join in repeating this healing prayer of of Dr. Emoto’s.  Feel free to copy and paste this to send it around the planet.
Let’s take charge, and do our own clean up!
