Valentine's Day turns out to be a focus for a number of
groups and individuals organizing meditations and other
forms of communion, beyond the widespread consideration of
February 14 as a day of Love. In the US and Europe, perhaps
other parts of the world, the day honoring St. Valentine is
given to expressions of love, most prominently romantic
love, but in recent times also a broader brotherhood, as
well as love for the environment and the earth.
Here is some descriptive material from web-based
organizational promotions. First from Johathan Goldman, who
teaches sound healing, and organizes each year a day to
apply this to the earth.
In order to simplify the Feb. 14th time and activities of
World Sound Healing Day here is a summary of information that
should clarify matters:
On Feb. 14th, anytime, anywhere (wherever you are, whatever
time it is), take at least 5 minutes out of your day and
project the heart sound "Ah" filled with Light & Love to
Mother Earth, as a Sonic Valentine for Global Harmonization.
If possible, please gather with others in a group at any
time on Feb. 14th to collectively tone together for this event.
On Feb. 14th, at 12 noon EST (U.S. Eastern Standard Time),
please tone the heart sound "Ah" as a Sonic Valentine for
Mother Earth for 5 minutes or more. If you are near a computer,
please go to the launching of www.templeofsacredsound.org and
join others throughout the planet on this new interactive
website in order to do this.
The day is also of some significance to people interested in
astrological perspectives, and these are taken by many as a
suitable basis for celebrations and expressions of positive
intent for peace and for the benefit of the earth.
We measure our global sense of both space (latitude and longitude)
and time (universal time - UT or GMT) from the prime meridian located
at Greenwich, England. We can perceive the collective influence of
this momentous astrological event (February 14th) by looking at the
alignment from this globally centered perspective. When we do,
something extraordinary and exquisite emerges.
At dawn on 14th February the day dedicated to St Valentine, the
patron saint of Love, the Moon in Libra enters the seventh house of
relationships. And Jupiter and Mars are aligned in Aquarius in the
twelfth house of spiritual transformation.
-----
At 7:25 a.m. on 14th February - and for the 18 minutes of the
alignment, I invite you, into the Universal Heart, to add your own
intention for Love and Peace, and to co-create the dawning of the Age
of Aquarius to that of the Cosmos. Join in whatever way feels
appropriate for you. You may choose to align with 7:25 a.m. (UT) or
7:25 a.m. your own local time energizing a wave of intention
that will surge around the Earth.
The GCP event was set for the 24 hour UTC day, to include
participation as described in the Sound Healing
instructions. This also includes the astrological alignment
celebration, as well as other meditations around the world.
The outcome is a remarkably strong deviation, with
Chisquare 87606 on 86400 degrees of freedom, for p = 0.002
and Z = 2.890. This looks like a confirmation of the idea
that large-scale communal thought and emotion may show up as
structure in our data. But it is necessary to consider the
cautionary note on interpretation below.
It is important to keep in mind that we have only a tiny
statistical
effect, so that it is always hard to distinguish signal from
noise. This means that every "success" might be largely
driven by chance, and every "null" might include a real
signal overwhelmed by noise. In the long run, a real effect
can
be identified only by patiently accumulating replications of
similar analyses.
