Suzy "Chapstick" Chaffee invites you to join the "Tsunami of Love" for Mother Earth on Valentine's Day

by Suzy Chaffee | Native Voice Foundation

Sedona, AZ - In December of 2006, Native (Wind) Energy's Bob Gough alerted me, as co-chair of Native Voices Foundation (NVF), that Europe was having its warmest winter in 1,250 years.

American Indian Elders had already saved ski resorts in 10 states from droughts with their snowdances and prayers, inspired by ski areas inviting tribes back to their ancestral mountains to ski, spearheaded by NVF; so on a crazy-hearted whim, I called Woody Vaspra (Hawaiian-Chinese), President of the World Council of Elders, to see if we could help our European friends.

Magically, network leaders started uniting behind Woody’s World Prayer to rebalance Mother Earth, after meeting Sedona scientist Sperry Andrews at Ranjita’s joyful Christmas Eve gathering in Oak Creek. Sperry has been doing successful prayer and meditation experiments with members of the 100 million Oneness Network and University.

Thanks to this snowballing of networks, we decided to launch the prayer on Valentines Day - when men and women are in sweetest harmony - to include Mother Earth in our hearts. Thanks to skier Mary Ho, President of the China Millennium Council, we learned that America’s Valentine’s Day coincides with her Asian ceremonies. At the same time Jim "Kwa'howe" Prevatt, spiritual leader of the Shasta Nation, led a prayer ceremony I attended on Mt Shasta, a powerful sacred mountain.

Other compassionate visionary networks and leaders that inspired this unprecedented breakthrough for humanity include: Jan Robert's Earth Charter US (2,500 organizations), Marie Pascale's TM and Conversations with God, Laurie Weldon's World Olympic Press website, Send2Press Media networks, and Elders groups led by Valerie Estes (Apache Healer), Eddy and Betty Box Jr. (S. Ute), Blue Thunder (E. Shoshone), Kowasak Abenaki Chief Nancy Lyons…

NVF's European leader, French Princess Caroline Murat, excitedly reported that just after last year's Valentine's Day, temperatures dropped in Europe and their ski areas were blessed with critical snow (for crops too). We were amazed, and the Europeans were grateful. Since Indigenous Elders tell us that our Earth Mother responds to gratitude, just like people, NVF then organized a world gratitude prayer, which led to their “booming end of ski season.”

This December 2007, NVF organized another international prayer, this time joined with the 13 tribes of Arizona, plus California and Colorado, to help bring natural snow to the Arizona's sacred San Francisco Peaks so the ski area would not need to use wastewater (with unfilterable pharmaceuticals) for snowmaking. NVF included all U.S. ski areas in our snow prayer to protect toddlers who eat snow, and our drinking water from accumulated toxins. Now America is enjoying the best ski season in years, while Europe is hurting for snow, and other continents for rain or continuing glacier melt.

Therefore, we call on our beloved Earth Family to again unite this Valentine's Day 2008 to hold Mother Earth in our hearts, give Her a big hug and send her a “Tsunami of Love.” That image was coined by Chief Sonne Reyna, the ecstatic Yaqui star of the new Elders' epic film "In Search For the Future." (Look for Chief Reyna’s “Tsunmai of Love for the Children” - global magical mass entertainment events that reawaken love in the hearts of all humankind.)

This year we are inviting 25-35 million (world) Art of Living members, founded by his Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, a champion of Earth (SriSri.org). This uniting of the Indians of the US and India, is thanks to meeting Ashish and Barry & Bonnie Rosen in Sedona while launching Shankara, their earth-honoring organic Ayurvedic skincare line here.

“Valentines Day overlaps with our Chinese Lunar New Year celebration of the Earth Rat and precedes Lantern Festival, were people will pay honor and tribute to their ancestors and pray for sustainability. Gene Tagaban (Tlinkit-Cherokee), member is of the Native American Olympic Team, will be performing his stunning Raven Dance in commemoration of the Chinese Lantern festival in Taiwan, while meeting with their indigenous peoples,” reported China’s Mary Ho.

Transcendental Meditation (TM), Buddhists, and tribes for eons, have proven that united prayer can raise Earth's vibration and restore Nature's precipitation, and Dr Emoto proved that love and appreciation can purify water.

Congratulations to our Earth Family for the vital progress in the last year in respecting and taking better care of our eco-systems. The easiest affordable solution, thanks to environmental scientists like Matthew Turner, and the California Air Quality Board, is shifting to all natural household products. Synthetic ones have been poisoning our families then escaping to become the “second biggest cause of glacier melting pollution, next to tailpipe exhaust.” (See all stories on www.snow-riders.org). There is a prophesy that women will purify the planet since moms are the family consumers. Please spread the word.

This Valentines' Day, remember that it takes both love and demonstrative action to make relationships with our loved ones sing, just as it does with Mother Earth. Imagine a “tsunami of love and action” transforming our Earth “from a parking lot back to Paradise” – a reversal of the Eagles song Hotel California. Together we are… with Creator's guidance. And with love to our dear Earth Mother who gives us a tsunami of love every day and everything we have.

“Every time we bring a smile to someone's face, a flower blooms and new life appears on the Earth.” Jim Privat, Shasta Elder
