Blessings for Earth-Healers
२७ जुलाई २०१६पृथ्वी-चिकित्सकों के लिए आशीर्वाद
- स्टारहॉक
हम उन सभी लोगों को धन्यवाद देते हैं जो अपने जीवन में छोटे या बड़े तरीकों से पृथ्वी के घाव भरने और उसकी रक्षा करने के लिए प्रेरित हैं। वानस्पतिक खाद बनाने वाले को, माली को, कीड़े और मशरूम का प्रजनन करनेवालों को, मिट्टी-निर्माताओं को, हवा और पानी शुद्ध करनेवालों को, उन सभी को जो दूसरों की फैलाई हुई गंदगी साफ़ करते हैं आशीर्वाद है। पेड़ लगाने और उनकी रक्षा करनेवालों को, जंगल को बचाने और पुनर्जिवित करनेवालों को आशीर्वाद है। धरती के कटाव को रोकनेवालों को, सैल्मन और दूसरी मछलियों को जिलाने-वालों को, जो औषधियों की रक्षा करते हैं और जिन्हें जंगली-पौंधों की विद्या का ज्ञान है उन्हें आशीर्वाद है। शहरों को स्वस्थ करने और उनको उत्साह, रचनात्मकता और प्रेम से जीवित करनेवालों को आशीर्वाद है। उन सभी को आभार और आशीर्वाद है जो लालच के खिलाफ खड़े हैं, जिन्होंने अपने आप को खतरे में डाला है, जिनको चोट लगी है, जिनका खून बहा है और जिहोने ने धरती की सेवा में अपने प्राण न्यौछावर कर दिए हैं।
सभी पृथ्वी-चिकित्सकों को स्वास्थ्य प्राप्त हो। वे धरती के लिए सच्चे प्रेम से प्रेरित हों। वे अपने डर को जाने पर उसके कारण रुकें नहीं। वे गुस्से से प्रेरित हों पर खुद गुस्से में आग न बन जाएं। वे अपने शोक का सम्मान करें पर अपने दुःख से लाचार न हो जाएं। वे अपने डर, क्रोध और शोक को करुणा और वे जिससे प्रेम करते हैं उसकी सेवा करने की प्रेरणा में परिवर्तित करें। उन्हें अपना कार्य करने के लिए मदद, संसाधन, साहस, भाग्य, शक्ति, प्रेम, स्वास्थ्य और आनंद प्राप्त हो। वे सही तरीके से, सही जगह पर सही समय हों। वे बड़ी जागृति लाएं, वे धरती की आवाज़ सुने, असंतुलन को संतुलन में परिवर्तित करें, नफ़रत और लालच को प्रेम में परिवर्तित करें। धन्य हो, पृथ्वी के चिकित्सकों।
चिंतन के लिए कुछ बीज-प्रश्न :-
सभी पृथ्वी-चिकित्सकों को स्वास्थ्य प्राप्त हो - आप इस भाव से कैसे जुड़ते हैं ?
क्या आप अपना एक निजी अनुभव बता सकते हैं जब आपको धरती के घाव भरने के साथ-साथ अपने घाव भी भरने थे ?
आप को पृथ्वी-चिकित्सकों के प्रति आभार का भाव अनुभव करने में क्या मदद करता है ?

I do not heal but I participate by attending. My presence gives the refraction, the slight distaff, the blip of distortion so that the other can use it as a reference point. My place is to hold space so that the other can test the parameters of wholeness.I am tickled to be chosen to do this.

I just went to a 3 day 'vipassana' course where this reading kept coming back to me. Not only did the 'metta' sound familiar to above passage but also the centre's environment. Trees with several types of leaves, filled the space and it was an awakening to realise the valuable asset and gift given to us in form of plants and leaves by Lord Almighty. It's a blessing and in wonderful abundance. I felt much gratitude. Thanks.

I feel incredibly nourished by being close to trees and I try to acknowledge their gift to us
by feeling my love and gratitude towards them . I thank them for being so generous
and am always painfully saddened by their destruction .

Feeling of gratitude to be healed by the healer of the earth and vice versa by doing random act of kindness and nurture by the earth's natural effect. There we're most of my life filled up with negativity, anger, fear,rejection, frustration where naturally healed by seeing beautiful creatures around us, like when I'm alone, I spend myself seeing far, appreciating dancing trees, whirling winds, sunny and sunset and rivers flowing. They are all natural healing of earth. And vice versa, I share this realization to every people I know who is need of healing too like me. I feel all the gratitude that God made creatures that will give you natural healing, seeing around will make you realize the bigger picture of life.
God Bless!

Every time I am in any garden (planting, weeding, harvesting) or eating a meal, I am thankful for how the earth nourishes our bodies. Anytime I go on hikes in nature I can feel the earth recharging my inner being and giving me strength. I heal people around me with smiles and hugs and the earth embraces me. Together we can heal each other and the earth.

I had to cut down two small trees on my property, but planted seven new ones in their place. Not only good for the environment, but good for my soul as well -- the joy I get watching them grow.

Healing of the earth, the very space-time we occupy is fundamental to our own personal healing and awakening of our consciousness to our cosmic mother. Lately, I have been experiencing this emotion strongly-the need to connect to the planet ever more deeply, to help heal atleast the space I occupy. This monsoon season, I helped plant 1200 trees in our community along with my friend. We picked trees of a rich-diversity that will enrich the soil and provide food for birds. We gathered seeds, dug pits and sowed them far and wide to help rapidly afforest our semi-arid community. I have also helped build bunds and trenches to trap rain water runoff to divert into her womb, so she can be nourished from water that has been painfully drained from her bowels.
Now, I can see hear her sing, as the seedlings sprout, trees bear shoots and birds roam freely with a wonderful choice of fruits to eat!. I am healing as well....

To heal means to become whole. We all need healing. No one is fully healed or whole, including healers of the earth. A small way in which I am a healer of the earth is by recycling, not littering and in picking up litter particularly on the road by my house. What helps me feel gratitude for healers of the earth is knowing that we are all part of the earth, what we do to the earth we do to ourselves, the earth is ours to enjoy and take care of and not exploit and destroy, all of which healers of the earth support.
