OPRAH'S ABORIGINE CEREMONY

Lighting the way back to Mother Earth's heart, Oprah shared with humanity in January her touching Australian Aborigine Women's Ceremony at Uluru, their powerful sacred mountain. Oprah and friends called it "an unforgettable, transformational experience."

Ms Sanchez also asked NAOTF to assist inviting Native Elders to speak at UN's 2012 RIO-20 Conference, following U. N. Assembly President Miguel Brockmann saying, "Time to listen to the voices of Indigenous people." I said communities need to host Elders-led ceremonies leading up to Her Day to ensure our civilization is fully intact in 2012. They saw the light and it's working!

The late 2007 Shared Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Stephen Schneider, who partnered with Native American Elders, praised U.S. Ski Areas for inviting Native kids to ski, which inspired Elders to lead snowdances that have saved ski areas from snow droughts since 1963. The Elders raise the vibration of mountains through prayers of appreciation to Mother Earth, Nature and ancestral spirits, which purifies them and restores natural precipitation/snow cycles.

Three Nobel Laureates are also aligned in raising awareness about the importance of rebalancing Nature's cycles. Eric Chivian, Muhammad Yunus, and Joseph Stiglitz, agree that, "Human beings are an inseparable part of Mother Earth, and Life depends on an uninterrupted functioning of Her cycles."

"There is a great need today for dynamic forms of prayer, like the "World Healing Technique," to help restore balance to the oceans and ecosphere," said Dr. Ellis. "While the AMA, TM and Oneness Networks proved that prayer works, my teacher, the knighted British astrophysicist Dr. George King, developed a way for people to amplify prayers, incorporated in Owen's easy technique." Inspiring dawn-noon-sunsets-midnight are potent times to give thanks.

"On New Year's morning on Hawaii's Big Island I saw an abundance of Humpback whales jumping. I now realize they were celebrating all the positive energy healing our oceans - a spectacular way to start the new year," shared whale protector Phil Kline.

A major focus was the Gulf of Mexico. Owen revealed what could happen by regularly starting our prayers with gratitude: "First, I sent gratitude to Creator, and then the Sun for giving me the energy to live on this planet. Then I asked for healing energy from the Sun and sent it into the Gulf." (Why we need sun every day.)

THE DEVA OF THE GULF

"To my surprise, the Deva of the Gulf - the nature spirit of that whole body of water - appeared very clearly within my mind's eye. She was a robed, goddess-type figure above the water less than a mile away and was about 1,600 feet (500 meters) high," said Owen.

Olivia explained: "The loving energy that so many of these healers send this great compassionate being is all she has to work with to help her heal the Gulf." So spread the word to send this wondrous Gulf Deva prayers now that the existence of Devas/nature spirits is being revealed.

Mayan Elders say these ceremonies that connect Ancient Indigenous and Technological Mainstreamers with Mother Earth's heart are critical to raising the vibration and smoothing the 2012 ride. We also need to use green versions of everything, organics, electric cars, and insist our American representatives vote for the Safe Chemical Act and clean renewable energy bills, as each country must do our part of restore Mother Earth - it takes a Global Village!

GIGANTIC LOCAL GREEN SOLUTIONS - 1ST GREEN LAUNDRY

While writing about Raul Rodriguez creating Puerto Vallarta's first Green Laundry, a neighbor screamed and pointed at two whales spouting. That is a good sign for keeping PV Paradise, and Raul's laundry near the top (578) of Calle Allende in Centro, where I first lived and shared this giant solution with his family. They are heroes for offering ocean friendly Sodium Bicarbonate/BakingSoda cleaner at no extra cost - 11 pesos/kilo laundry - to protect especially PV'S children, pets and oceans.

More Mexicans, like North Americans, are learning that chemical detergents are toxic including its synthetic fragrances, and the combination, found Stanford University, destroys the immune systems of Marine life. The synthetic hormones from the fake scents also enter our bloodstreams through our hands/skin and alter all our body organs, revealed CNN's "Toxic America." Yet herbal or flower essential oils/'aciete flor y herbal' lift our vibration and health. Since what we put on our skin goes to our brain and heart, it is as important as what we put in our mouths!

So please give our marine life and children a bright future by switching to green cleaning, like some maids to protect themselves after CNN revealed that American women 'cleanaholics' have a higher incidence of breast cancer. God-made sodium bicarbonate also disinfects, deodorizes and cleans dishes, counters, floors and toilets.

Big bags of Arm & Hammer Baking soda powder are super affordable and healthy, (but new liquid A&H has toxic fragrances). The powder form can be found at Big Chains and health food stores, like in Puerto Vallarta it costs just 17 pesos/kilo at Super Cereales near Leys or Organic Superfoods (Manuel and Yael are Mexico's "Detox leaders") in the Romantic Zone.

Plus most supermarkets in Europe, Japan, Australia and North America carry green cleaners, or health food stores in Central and South America, like PV's Gaia Organic Foods and VSN carry Dr. Bronner's, Ecover, Detergent Ecologico, 7th Generation...

PUERTO VALLARTA'S "MEXICO LIMPIO Y QUERIDO" ("Clean & Loved")

In Sedona, Arizona our green team helped save the City $25,000. per year by switching to green cleaning in public places, which stopped their lawyer from have seizures at City Hall. "PV could also save on healthcare while bolstering our economy like Costa Rica through eco-tourism, by our government making a similar Green commitment," said Mari Torres, a Puerto Vallarta leader of "Mexico Limpio Y Querido."

OUR ONLY 'HOME'

This is also a big breakthrough year for practical green solutions since PV school kids, like kids around the world, are telling their parents about the islands of plastic trash in the Pacific the size of Texas that are dead zones.

Millions are sharing YouTube's magnificent eye-opening video Home with their families and reminding them to take advantage new recycling programs like Puerto Vallarta's, so we are no longer eating plastic eating fish. "Home" is multi-lingual thanks to the sponsors like Gucci believing that keeping our planet in tack is smart business - why it is the educational arm of PV's "Limpio."

Imagine if all schools played "Home" at least on their computers, added to ideally Indigenous teachers taking six year olds on Nature hikes like the Swedes, to learn how to live in more harmony with Mother Earth for life. Instead of giving them our rapidly declining fish, children everywhere would have fishing poles to a brighter world. Don't they deserve that chance?

Together these giant green and spiritual solutions are purifying our oceans and Mother Earth so we may truly celebrate our progress on UN's International Mother Earth Day on April 22, and thereby creating a smoother 2012.

For eons as tribal people we have given gratitude to Mother Earth for Her gifts every day: Her thirst-quenching waters, tasty foods, reviving mountains, oceans and waterfalls, powder snow, gentle rains, sweet breezes, fruitful trees, flowers, loved ones, animal friends, mystical sunsets... Those remembering these ways are fulfilling this prophetic purification and creating a joyful Eden-like "New Earth."
