: 9:09 : a sacred time to beam your light, chant a holy mantra or say a prayer for 9 minutes
What we’re asking here is pray, just pray.
Pray… Pray… Pray…
Gaia needs your prayers.
Just pray with total surrender,
in complete faith…
and that prayer collectively done –
at least 1,000 or 1,500 people,
done at the same time,
will generate the positive healing energy for all of us.
Not asking for anyone special,
not even for the betterment of general life.
Nothing…
Just surrender and praying.
Each day at 9:09 in the morning and/or evening, or any regular suitable time, let us contribute to the peace and harmony of Gaia, our Mother Earth, by raising our vibration and holding in our hearts all sentient and insentient beings.
To do so, we can pray, meditate, hold intention or simply visualize all Gaia, and ourselves, as healed, healing, whole, radiant. When thousands of people join together in an endeavour such as this, the energies so generated can bring miraculous changes. And when each of us does this in our own time zone, our Mother Earth and all of benefit from a round-the-clock and round the world healing. An hourly wave will take place on opposite sides of the globe simultaneously, every hour. Every hour – somewhere - it is 9:09
The idea is for 1,000 or more people to focus positive energy on earth and beings living on earth, simultaneously

Siona says -
'... those who are able and interested, I'd like to invite you .... to a virtual weekly gathering. Each Monday, at 9:09 am MST (GMT-7), I'll be hosting a brief guided meditation intended to help strengthen the connection between us each and benefit more fully from the power of a shared positive intent. I hope you can join me.'

Step out of the circle of time
And into the circle of love - Rumi -
If you keep your palms upside down,
how can you hold the blessings in your palm.
So to receive the prayers also,
to receive the blessings also,
you are to turn your palm the right way up and receive it.
Praying is that.
Although we know that the blessings are around,
but to be aware of the blessings
we’re to put our palm the right way up
so that it comes into our palm.
That is the prayer which has the maximum power.
What Siona is doing in the Gaia Minute Call, is a guided prayer to put everyone together in the same vibration at the same time. At every moment whenever there’s a connection, that’s prayer. Prayer has no definite form. It can vary, it can be just a silent prayer. In fact the best prayer is a wordless prayer. Absolutely no words. Nothing. Just expanding into the wide expanse around you and beyond the earth to the universe. Its giving. Just give. And just be quiet and merge.
It's a state of being. Regularity is very important. Regularity puts you into a habit and the entire bio-clock and the system gets ready for that particular moment. So while we’re doing it, maybe round the clock, we still fix up a time, which is a definite time – like the Islam people. You would notice that when it is their Namaaz time, their prayer time, whatever they are doing – they will drop everything and wherever they are, even if they are on the road – they will stop the car, offer their prayers at that particular moment. Regularity of a particular moment is very important. So doing it round the clock within yourself is one thing, but doing it at the same point of time everyday - Just like our bio-clock starts responding to hunger, to sleep, similarly the spiritual energy also started gearing up and getting ready for the prayer, when you start doing it regularly at the same moment every day. So I would request each one of you to at least have some sort of regularity, preferably daily – maybe even five minutes is okay – but do it every day at the same point of time, 5 o’ clock in the morning, 6 o’ clock in the morning, 9 o’ clock in the morning, 9.09 at night, whatever. But do it at the same time every day at least once. That will put you into a system whereby your system is going to respond to the universal call. This is what I want to tell each one of you. Please try to be regular so far as the clock is concerned.
It actually cannot be said, it can only be felt. Prayer has got different levels. Broadly there are 3 kinds of prayers. One is when you ask something for yourself. That’s a general prayer. ‘Oh Lord give me this, Oh Lord shield me from this, Oh Lord, I’m in trouble, etc, etc’. This is one kind of prayer The 2nd classification I would say is when you are praying for someone. Like you have a prayer list and you’re mentioning names or maybe someone is sick who you’re praying on behalf of, or asking for healing or relief, that’s another kind of prayer. Sometimes you pray for healing. The prayer that I am suggesting is, pray for nothing. Pray just for the sake of praying. And there is not even an intention… there’s nothing. There’s just you and the universe. There's just being. Just expanding. Just giving… The closest I can tell you is that of mother feeding breast milk to a baby. That giving. There’s nothing, absolutely nothing, not even an intention. That is the highest level of prayer. At that level you loose words, you don’t even have words. You don't really have words at that point … you just sort of overflow from inside. And that goes out and creates the vibration. What we need is that kind of prayer together. A huge number of people. That's the movement.
If you ever lie down and look up at the sky when there is no moon, but all the stars are around. Then what do you feel? It is that feeling. Try and get the essence of what I’m trying to say. In a dark night if you're lying on your back on a rooftop or somewhere… and the sky is full of stars and there is darkness… but within the darkness there are these bright stars around and you feel that immenseness and then slowly you sort of melt into it... you dissolve yourself... you just become that ONE. So I don’t think its ‘acceptance’, it’s not even ‘giving’, it’s much beyond all that. You can only feel when you start doing it you can only feel it. I just don’t have any words. At that level there’s hardly any difference between meditation and prayer. At that point it sort of merges because ultimately both are taking you to the same.
There’s only one light. Just one light. Prayer and meditation. Trouble is that meditation requires a little bit of training, prayer comes naturally. The system is naturally attuned to prayer. But for meditation you need to learn certain techniques, you need to learn the breath control and so on, before you can settle down. But ultimately both reach the same point so at that highest level I don’t think there is much difference between praying and meditation. Meditation cannot be done, it happens but prayer can be done. You can sit down and try and meditate but half the time your mind is running away here and there – so when meditation happens, it happens. Meditation cannot be ‘consciously done’ – unless you’re so highly practiced that you just sit down and immediately you have that Samadhi – but that takes long practice and your life style has got to change and things like that. So I would say – meditation happens. There is for example japa, the seed mantra, which you repeat, not loudly but internally, And then there is Dhyaan (or Dhyana), Dhyaan is meditation. You sit down and start repeating the seed mantra which in any case we are doing all the time internally, yet consciously at that point I’m repeating it in my heart and suddenly that mantra vanishes and nothing remains. Suddenly I find that I’m into nowhere. I’m deep into Samadhi. It just happens. When it will happen I don’t know. But in prayer, I know that it can be done because I can simply sit down and as soon as I start expanding, I can pray and that’s the reason I told you to please pray. Because ultimately both are going to do the same thing. Both are going to generate the same vibrations. So prayer is the thing for us. And Siona has taken the leadership.
There is only love. God is Love. The Universe is love. There is nothing except Love.
