What the People of Haiti Need

3,000,000 people were devastated by a massive earthquake in Haiti.  As many as 100,000 may be dead.  This may represent the largest one time loss of human life in recent history.  The pictures of the carnage are so disturbing parental warnings are given before the news airs.  In the face of this unprecedented destruction and tragedy it is easy to be overcome by the horror of it all.  The human suffering is so extreme, so raw, and so real, that it touches all of us in a way that makes it feel personal.  It’s so overwhelming it’s hard to know what to do to help, if there is anything to do at all.

Let me be perfectly clear.  The people of Haiti do not need your sympathy.  They do not need you to feel their pain.  The people of Haiti need three things, money, prayers, and peace.  Regarding peace, let me explain.  I honestly believe that when a large crisis in the world occurs, the most important thing those of us not directly involved can do is hold the space of peace.  Even here, sitting comfortably in our warm homes, watching the TV, looking at the horrifying images, even from here, when we feel sorrow, fear, and pain, on behalf of another, we contribute our energy to just that, sorrow, fear, and pain.  So, my plea to you, is that if you aren’t in Haiti, if you don’t have a loved one missing there, please make your vibrational offering for those people, one of peace.  Send your love, send your powerful warrior guardian angel, hold those people in the light, and imagine them in the tender arms of a Divine Loving Being.

It is our job to keep our vibrations as high as possible while others are suffering.  Our job is to stay in peace.  Our job is to do our part to hold the balance.  Our job is to love deeply and passionately – not to slip in to the abyss of sinking sorrow.  Sorrow won’t help.  Love, peace, and calm mean everything.

What the people of Haiti need are your prayers, all the peace in your heart, and money.
