After a year or so of trying different ideas and methodologies to help heal humanity so we learn how to partner with each other, as well as partner with the earth, I became rather discouraged. Nothing I tried seemed to work, or didn't work for very long. Because Gaia had recommended I focus my efforts on working on healing humanity rather than healing the earth, I decided to go back and visit Gaia and see if she could help me. I needed guidance.

Because the first time I met Gaia, I had been invited and "pulled in to meet her" in a meditation, I wasn't sure how to go about visiting her without an invitation. But after several attempts, I was finally able to reconnect and visit Gaia once again. During this visit I shared my frustrations and asked for her assistance. I was then directed to a door, which I opened and then walked inside. It was a large room and inside was a HUGE musical instrument. To me, it looked similar to gigantic French Horn but was almost three stories tall. I was told this was now my instrument and I could use it anytime to help in my quest to heal humanity.

I don't play the French Horn and I did not know how to use this instrument. But then went to the 3rd floor of this room, sat down near the musical instrument, and a song popped in my head. It was a song I heard the previous night- "Creep"sung by Rozzi.  I immediately heard the melody play on this instrument and the vibration and harmonies seem to float through the ethers of the universe.

Since that experience, I've been experiencing with different sounds, songs, and methods with this healing instrument. Occasionally other like-minded souls with a desire to heal humanity show up and we all play together, sending out sounds and vibration focused on healing humanity.

As you probably know, different sounds and vibrations are used in Qigong to purge and remove stuck and stagnant Qi inside the body. It seems that a big-ass instrument is able to work on a larger audience.

There are even ancient writings carved in stone with images of figures blowing horns, like kokopelli. This leads me to believe that many other cultures have used sound and music as a favored tool, too.

My goal is to help stop the growing divide that seems to be filling up the world with more hate and violence. I am expecting humanity to start playing nice with each and respect each other - build bridges and find common ground. I am feeling seeds of hope.

When I retired, I decided to focus my efforts towards healing the planet. The way I was going to do this was similar to using the tools I use on Medical Qigong treatments. I was going to work with a microcosm of the planet to help the planet heal and get well. Because I live in California, I focused located different "earth energy sites" in California which would act like acupoints to direct and work with subtle energies (similar to acupuncture points in the body). I then traveled around the state to conduct different types of healing activities at those locations.

After several months of doing this, I was doing one of my regular early morning meditations, when something new happened. I could feel my energetic self being PULLED and carried away as if I was in a tunnel. I tried to stop this by ending the meditation, but I could not even end the meditation. So I just relaxed and "let go". Eventually the pull stopped and I found myself being in a large open space, like a room with granite looking walls. There were no windows. I saw a few very tall gray looking "andromorph" shaped Beings who reminded me of the shapes seen in some petroglyphs in Utah. These Beings seemed to greet and welcome me, then took me to a Being who seemed to be in charge. I will call this Being, Gaia, because that is the name that popped into my thoughts when I first saw her. She essentially wanted to know what I was trying to accomplish with all those healing activities I was doing.

I told her I was working to heal the planet from global warming. I expected she would be pleased, but she wasn't. She replied that she heals herself through her various cleansing processes, like earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, and volcanoes. She then recommended that instead of focusing on healing the planet, the better option would be to work on healing humanity and preventing the problem of global warming. "This is where the real problem lies" she said.

I accepted her advice and now found myself sitting back on my couch, in my meditative state. It was almost as if nothing had just happened. The purpose of this visit had been achieved and I could just pick up where I left off. 

Since that experience I have refocused my efforts to work on healing humanity. Part of the process has been to define what healing humanity means, as well as what approaches to try. It also meant I needed to figure out how to assess and evaluate the results to determine if anything I was doing was effective.

This has resulted in a lot of thoughts, pondering, and different game plans in using and directing QI to help in these efforts. There may be multiple approaches and they may work in different locations, or seasons, or with different cultures. But my primary method is to see what works to help awaken people to WANT to work together and create a world we all want to live in.
