Global Prayer for Water at 12 Noon - Please Join In

Do you know the work of Masaru Emoto? I have one of his books. It’s pretty darn amazing. Check him out if you haven’t. He’s the Japanese scientist who studies the effects of thoughts and words on water. The image above is what Love and Gratitude water crystals look like. You should see the contrast of hate, it is disjointed and harsh.  After reading his book I often sit in the lineup and thank the water and send positive energy to the source of so much joy in my life.

Emoto is organizing a Prayer for water today at 12PM each time zone for healing the water around the Fukushima Nuclear Plant.  I encourage all to join in.

See below for more information.

The prayer procedure is as follows.

Day and Time:  March 31st, 2011 (Thursday)
12:00 noon in each time zone

Please say the following phrase:

"The water of Fukushima Nuclear Plant, we are sorry to
make you suffer. Please forgive us. We thank you, and
we love you."

URGENT: A letter from Dr Masaru Emoto, author of Messages
in Water plus other related books.

A letter from Dr Masaru Emoto:

To All People Around the World

Please send your prayers of love and gratitude to water at
the nuclear plants in Fukushima , Japan !   By the massive
earthquakes of Magnitude 9 and surreal massive tsunamis,
more than 10,000 people are still missing...even now... It has
been 16 days already since the disaster happened. What makes
it worse is that water at the reactors of Fukushima Nuclear
Plants started to leak, and it's contaminating the ocean, air
and water molecule of surrounding areas.

Human wisdom has not been able to do much to solve the
problem, but we are only trying to cool down the anger of
radioactive materials in the reactors by discharging water
to them.   Is there really nothing else to do?   I think there is.

During over twenty year research of dado measuring and
water crystal photographic technology, I have been witnessing
that water can turn positive when it receives pure vibration
of human prayer no matter how far away it is.   Energy
formula of Albert Einstein, E=MC2 really means that
Energy = number of people and the square of people's
consciousness.

Now is the time to understand the true meaning. Let us all
join the prayer ceremony as fellow citizens of the planet
earth. I would like to ask all people, not just in Japan , but
all around the world to please help us to find a way out the
crisis of this planet!!

The prayer procedure is as follows.

Day and Time:  March 31st, 2011 (Thursday)
12:00 noon in each time zone

Please say the following phrase:

"The water of Fukushima Nuclear Plant, we are sorry to
make you suffer. Please forgive us. We thank you, and
we love you."

Please say it aloud or in your mind. Repeat it three times
as you put your hands together in a prayer position.
Please offer your sincere prayer.   Thank you very much
from my Heart.

With love and gratitude,

Masaru Emoto Messenger of Water

Johnny Abegg Going Left! by Mick Waters

Two of my favorite Aussie surfers/filmmakers did a little co-lab vimeo clip. Not only are these guys super talented but are some of the nicest human beings I have had the pleasure of knowing. Johnny is so fluid and soulful and Mick paints with moving images. Great combo. Enjoy.

I Love This Shot

Photo by Doug Wylie

Our friends over at the Murphy blog have been scoring some amazing photos of their team rider JP Marengo. JP is a La Jolla local who is a huge fan of big solid left barrels. Go check out their blog if you don't usually.

This photo landed in my inbox and I was blown away. I mean seriously does it get any better hen this?  Such a classic shot by Doug Wylie. I love the contrast of the glassy water sucking off the reef about a foot away from his board and the wave as it breaks violently behind him. Looking at it you can feel the tension between the two. Unbelievable detail and perfect timing. Well done Doug and JP always stoked to see your tubes!

Carl Ekstrom's new logo. The story is that Pierce was filming Carl for an interview and he showed Pierce a check from Andy Warhol for a board Carl had made for him. Carl kept the check all these years as he loved the idea that Andy hand signed his name. Pierce's eyes lit up and said he should use it as his new logo. 

Rainbow Fins. As usual inspiring as ever.

Korduroy.tv booth was a hit as usual.

Sacred Craft Eco Trailer Package for Manufacturing Stoke

I'm having the pleasure of traveling with Pierce and Petra Kavanagh to Sacred Craft to walk the show and for the two of them to promote their new film Manufacturing Stoke. When I awake this morning I couldn't help but be stoked on what they where making to pass out at the show. In the spirt of changing the way the surf industry consumes, Petra came up with the idea to make envelopes of recycled surf mags and faux DVD's out of shopping bags with their web address on it. My hat goes off to them for such a cool idea.

I'll be taking photos of Sacred Craft again this year and will post highlights after the show!  Stay tuned.

Faces of Trash

More inspiration from the mind of eco artist  Rodney "Rodrigo" McCoubrey. 

Manufacturing Stoke

Our friend Pierce Kavanagh of misfit pictures is making a documentary on sustainability in the surf industry called Manufacturing Stoke. 

We first met Pierce at the Cardiff Classic Green Fair where after meeting a host of green surf companies had a spark of inspiration and the idea for this film was born. 

Pierce, who recently graduated from film school went home that night with the idea for the film and proceeded to put a crew together to take on the task. Originally set to be a small web piece, the film suddenly took on a life of it's own and quickly gained attention from companies and personalities in the industry who had a thing or two to say about the subject. In the end there are some 30 plus interviews and 80 hours of film on the subject all of which have been kept under wraps as to who they all are and what they have said. It will be interesting to see how it all comes together and what these industry leaders have to say on such a pertinent subject.

As for the the trailer, which was released last night, it is a monumental step for Pierce and his indie crew Petra Kavanagh, Max Schmige, Geoffrey Smart and Sara Iyer who have been working nonstop for months now. 

I personally can't wait to see how the project all comes together and to finally see who everyone is that was filmed and what was said. 

Pierce, Petra, Max, Geoffrey, Sara congratulations my friends and good luck! 

Sending Our Love To Japan

My sister lives in Japan with her husband and three kids. My Brother-in-law just happen to board a plane to the US the day before the quake and is now here while his family is there. I tough one for a loving father and husband. 

So far so good for them but there are so many Japanese that are having a hard time. She sent me this link this morning about the Japanese and I was inspired. All she said in her email was "This is So True!". They are are model for us in deed.

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-japan-quake-polite-20110313,0,4238012.story

If you have a moment each day take a minute and say to yourself, "I Love You Japan". Thoughts and words are powerful and especially those with messages of love. In times like these we can all feel a bit helpless but doing something so simple and sending a loving message can make a world of difference. 

I Love You Japan.

New Environmental Art Show Coming to Town- Sacred Alters

www.sacredaltars.blogspot.com

From the mind of Eco Artist Rodney "Rodrigo" McCoubrey comes a group show about the things that make our lives worth living. For the show Rodney handpicked a group of local talent to make alters of things they feel are sacred in their lives. Each piece is to be made of at least 25% recycled materials from their own environment. We have created a blog for the project and will be posting the entries as they are completed so keep an eye on it to see what people come up with.

If you'd like to make your own Sacred Alter at home please do and send pictures of them to us and we'll post them here. The more the merrier. This is a healing subject and one that is great for everyone of all ages to participate in.

First up is Genie Huey and her piece titled "Dog". Genie is a Leucadia resident and an amazing artist. I was blown away by the piece. Enjoy
