I held Sudan in the palm of my hand today

[oxbow]

I woke up with Sudan on my mind early this morning. No reason that I can think of, just a general feeling of anger and sadness that genocide is still going on there after all this time, and that still no-one seems to know or care about it. I asked God what I should do. I got the feeling that I should hold Sudan in the light.

So I lay in bed with my hands gently clasped, like I was holding a small animal. I imagined Sudan, and there was a big hole. I started filling the hole up with light and love and prayers for healing. I moved on to the heart of Sudan. Just like a person, it felt like the country had a heart, and it was wounded. I held that in the light too, and prayed for healing. Energy moved, and at the end, I felt something being released. Finally, I went back to sleep.

I woke up later, went on DU to check the news. This is one of the first stories I saw:

Congress Members Arrested at Sudan Protest

What a great thing to see, the spirit of courage and compassion we know so well springing up again in our Congress! I have to ask though, do you think the promptings I received this morning are related in any way to this story? I feel like I should be doing something, but I don't know what. And I'm almost afraid to ask, as the work this morning really drained me emotionally.

1. You are psychic huh?

I was taught a form of energy healing that was just as you describe. Pretty cool. Maybe you should take it easy today and go for a walk and eat something to help ground yourself. It sounds like that session took it out of you.:) :hug:

2. I guess so OhioBlues! I just turned on the news...

and the first 2 and a half headlines were about Sudan! What George Clooney's doing about it, the rally in DC this weekend, the arrested Congress members. Heck, even BUSH is saying that the genocide has to stop now! I've been watching this issue since late '04 and this is the most MSM coverage I've seen in a year, let alone a day!

Something is definitely happening with Sudan now. If anybody else feels prompted to hold this thing in the light, please do so!

3. I will, Oprah had some stuff on it yesterday.

I agree with you we need to do something. However, I also heard that we cut funding to Darfur, do you know if that's true or not?

4. We didn't. UN isn't getting enough funds from other members though

Most noticeably, the EU and Arab League members according to this article:

I pray that the spotlight continues to shine on Sudan until a resolution is reached.

5. I agree with you and I pray the same oxbow.

6. Remember this old one?

He's Got the Whole World In His Hands

He's got the whole world in his hands,
He's got the whole world in his hands,
He's got the whole world in his hands,
He's got the whole world in his hands.

He's got my brothers and my sisters in his hands,
He's got my brothers and my sisters in his hands,
He's got my brothers and my sisters in his hands,
He's got the whole world in his hands.

He's got the sun and the rain in his hands,
He's got the moon and the stars in his hands,
He's got the wind and the clouds in his hands,
He's got the whole world in his hands.

He's got the rivers and the mountains in his hands,
He's got the oceans and the seas in his hands,
He's got you and he's got me in his hands,
He's got the whole world in his hands.

He's got everybody here in his hands,
He's got everybody there in his hands,
He's got everybody everywhere in his hands,
He's got the whole world in his hands.
:patriot:

7. DID YOU GUYS SEE THE NEWS TODAY?

Bush said he was asking Congress for another $225 million in emergency food aid for Darfur, was ordering the emergency purchase of 40,000 metric tons of food and was dispatching five ships loaded with food to the region.
