We’re very lucky here in Byron Bay to get more than our fair share of rain. Probably why almost 2 million people flock here for holidays every year.
The rest of Australia, however is dry, dry, dry. That’s why this awesome idea from a bunch of personal development enthusiasts is bound to inspire us all. Talk about vision the future you want. These guys have named May 8 National Rain Day. Inspired by Gregg Braden’s book The Isaiah Effect, John McCallum of Melbourne, said National Rain Day involved people standing on the earth barefoot and being led through a guided short visualisation at 11am on the day. “The process is a prayer of attracting rain through raising collective consciousness, as opposed to attracting the lack of rain by acknowledging it,€ Mr McCallum said.
Cool idea. I’ll do it.
“When you hold a thought with emotion for one minute and 11 seconds, you will attract that which you think about. If you think and feel rain with emotion, you’ll get rain,€
Alrighty, I’m in. This is just what I’ve been visualising for quite some time. Large groups of humans engaging in visualising what it is we do want. What about you other Aussies? And you non Aussies, we could do with you help. Are you in?

You’re in Denmark aren’t you Henriette?
It rained all day here in Byron Bay so I was thinking about spreading it out to the rest of Australia. My dear friend Wendy, who will begin blogging soon is a water shaman of sorts. Her vision is Pure Clean Healthy Water Everywhere. That’s the meaning of her life. She is making a short film at the moment which she will share with you all on her new nourishing blog. Be prepared to be inspired. Some of her photographs of water spirits are so bewitching. So I send Wendy all my love, around the world and back. Go girl and help us heal the waters.

Yep I´m in Denmark - in the south eastern part on an island with rather mild weather
- long summers with not that much rain- mild winters with some snow but no hard frost
- other parts of Denmark is more wet and cold.
Just to show how mild it is : I grow fig, rosemary and artichokes with sucess while other parts can´t grow any :-D
Sounds interesting - looking forward to another blog
and btw it still rains here :-D

I have actually been thinking about it- I grow a lot of my veggies/ fruits - keep hens etc.
When I´m done with my written exams in a few days I´ll return with it.
If
you can handle that my english is sometimes a bit broken…
Not always easy to write in a foreign language.

Hey Joanne,
I received a wonderful surprise to see this under National Rain Day. Thank you for jumping on board with such enthusiasm. I believe as you do we can change so much around our planet with this process of praying.
We are are overjoyed at the good rains that has fallen in many areas around Australia.
We are considering the idea of working on area rain days.
Love your work
John
