Meditation is powerful, as is intention, and when combined they can have a huge impact in contributing to the recovery of Haiti - it's a way of serving, also known as karma yoga.
As the world's compassion focuses on the heartbreaking and heartwarming stories coming from the devastation of Haiti, it's too easy to feel helpless.
Maybe, you can send money to help - it's an excellent thing to do and very needed.
But then what? And what if you're not in the financial position to give money yourself? Fundraising efforts are honorable deeds, offering your own skills or encouragement to collect money from others.
For example, I'm teaching a Healing for Haiti benefit yoga class to collect donations which I will give to one of the established foundations that are working hard to help people in the chaos.
Yet you can go further than financial contribution, and it can make an enormous difference.
The powers of meditation, prayer, and visualization have been proven effective time and time again.
What you think, what you visualize, what you focus on can change the world.
Or at the very least do a great deal of good to help.
Sending blessings, healing light, and peace to Haiti actually creates the vibration of those intentions.
By focusing your awareness on the healing of Haiti you amplify the vibration of harmony in that part of the world and in the hearts of all the people who are affected.
It is something you can do over and over again, which may not be true of monetary donations depending on your situation.
Make a difference, right now - it takes very little time and only a small amount of effort, and you will be rewarded by the peaceful, illuminated intentions you send out, for they first resonate within you.
Get centered, breathe, and let your thoughts be blessings of love and light for Haiti and her people.
