The following is a meditation exercise written by Rev. Barbara Kaufmann for MJ's Army and the Worldwide MJ Community. May it help us all to create miracles and change the world!
I had been asked to write a meditation or exercise that would shift the shadow in the quantum field surrounding the Gardner Street School to create an atmosphere for allowing for a miracle. This meditation was going to be distributed to all of you who wanted to support the possibility for change and miracles and to hold space for bright shadow to emerge in the meeting of the LAUSD this week (October 19th). We may not need it this time, but people asked if they could publish it and keep it for future reference. So I offered to tweak it to make it more generic. I hope you will use it for other things knowing that as you flow forgiveness and kindness outward, it flows into you. And the next time you have to say "no,” do it from a place of grounding and an open heart, and leave room for the other to change and save face. And remember to thank them because they just made the world a little brighter.
Because those who worked with the project prepared the field by their diplomacy and actions of forgiveness, kindness and open hearts, we won't need the meditation on Tuesday although gratitude with thoughts or words reinforces the reality. There is nothing so powerful as a grounded “no!” or ”stop!” Or “change!”… when it comes from an open heart. The HUMJN group and Katherine Jackson had been dialoguing with the school and when the principal was injured in a car accident, they suspended their negotiations and even sent flowers to say “get well.” Now that’s bright shadow; that’s an open heart. You may not be able to hear the sound from there, but the world thanks you for your wisdom.

Rev. Barbara Kaufmann of Inner Michael wrote the following to lead us in our prayers of intention. You will probably note the similarities to our Circle of Love exercise. (See Change the World for more words from Barbara.)
The Exercise:
Please close your eyes and focus on your heart, on your heart light. See and feel it glow warm and beautiful. Expand it in all directions. Let it grow brighter and brighter until it encompasses your whole being. Now allow yourself to grow huge — a lot bigger than this event. Envision yourself as this glowing giant being of light with unlimited power that comes from the divine Source of all things. Amplify your size and your light and feel and expand the grandest love of your compassionate heart until it spans the entire space or whole universe and events surrounding the situation you would like to see changed. Encompass all the people connected or concerned, the act that was unkind, and all the thoughts and feelings that accompanied that act then and that accompany it now.
Know that in the quantum field, there is no time. Feel and understand all of the feelings involved and without any judgment, allow those feelings to pass through your gigantic loving heart. Breathe them into your magnificent light body knowing they will not harm you or have any residual effect on you whatsoever. But as you breathe them in, imagine and feel them streaming through your heart and being filtered and transformed into forgiveness and love; know that this happens through the power of your magnanimous, divine loving heart. Sense, know, feel and experience this to be true — that all the negative energies and feelings as well as all the people, no matter their intentions, have been forgiven and transmuted by the divine breath and our collective giant loving and forgiving hearts. Take a few moments to accomplish this however you need to process it — see everyone, feel everyone, know, sense, experience, and let it all be healed by the compassionate healing heart. Imagine the people coming to you if you need to be in their presence. Extend your love to all of them. Forgive and embrace their human fear, woundedness and misguided actions. Or allow the love of the Divine to flow through you and outward to all in the orbit. Do it however it happens for you. Take as long as you need.
Now that the space has been cleansed, the way has been cleared for forgiveness, compassion, unconditional love, gratitude and generosity to fill that same space. So in your giant magnificent heart, feel, sense, know and experience compassion for everyone — no matter their input or opinions, decisions or frustrations and extend that compassion to everything surrounding this circumstance both now and in the past — forgive all of it. Feel your gigantic loving heart and amplify that love a hundred times, a thousand times and focus its intensity until it is a huge laser-like beam of perfect unconditional love and acceptance. Now watch the heart lights converge and bathe the entire quantum field and fill all its space with this amplified perfect love. Now amplify compassion to the same intensity and fill the new field with perfect compassion. Fill the same space with kindness and generosity amplified also laser-like in its intensity. Now fill it up with the same amplitude of gratitude. Feel the loving wave of gratitude fill, surround and spread through the entire field of this event. Embrace all the people involved no matter their opinion. Hold those feelings in your magnificent and magnified heart and see everything shifting from the status quo into divine perfection. Open your heart and make way and hold space for everyone in this situation to open their hearts. Feel and magnify that collective open heart. Now see it all unfolding according to the divine blueprint of perfection.
Now breathe your highest intention into the space. Take a moment to see the best possible outcome for all concerned that presents the most evolution for the humans involved, that expresses their loftiest and brightest selves, is worthy of their souls and that unfolds according to the will of Divine Source.
When you are ready, end your meditation with this feeling of perfection in your heart and mind. Hold the intention for everyone in this scenario to connect with their highest wisdom and express their soul in perfection and light, as it flows from there and out into their words and actions. Set your infinity timer so that this feeling continues to radiate those wishes and intentions throughout the entire playing out of this miracle that you have called into being. Know that this work has the potential to unfold as a profound lesson for the world.
Now take a moment to embrace yourself too -- and the heart that creates these realities. Give great compassion, understanding and gratitude to that inner self with its brilliance, bright light and giant compassionate and loving heart.
Namasté and blessings to you in this work and highest of missions.

The definition of Namasté:
Namasté is a common spoken greeting or salutation originating from India and Nepal.
When spoken to another person, it is commonly accompanied by a slight bow made with hands pressed together, palms touching and fingers pointed upwards, in front of the chest. This gesture can also be performed wordlessly and carries the same meaning.
Meanings and interpretation:
Namasté is one of a small list of Sanskrit words commonly recognized by Non-Hindi speakers.
• "I honor the Spirit in you which is also in me." - attributed to but not claimed by author Deepak Chopra
• "I honor the place in you in which the entire Universe dwells, I honor the place in you which is of Love, of Integrity, of Wisdom and of Peace. When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, we are One."
• "Your spirit and my spirit are ONE." -- attributed to Lilias Folan's shared teachings from her journeys to India
• "That which is of God in me greets that which is of God in you."
• "The Divinity within me perceives and adores the Divinity within you."
