What you don't see can't hurt you, my son

Things are a little strange in the State of Queensland. We are on level 5 water restrictions meaning no car washing (suits me), 4 minute showers (thats 3.45 minutes over what I have anyway), I can't even put any more water in the swimming pool so you can see this is pretty serious. 100kms North of Brisbane lies the Sunshine Coast area - these boys have their dams at 80% capacity! Laughing and joking as they water their car, garden, flush the toilet 20 times - they probably even water the water that's how much water they have.

In a week where our esteemed prime minister, Little Johnny Howard told us to all pray for rain, you might think that perhaps we have lost a few marbles in this very very brown land. I've just found out that there's a national rain day here in Canberra on the 8th May. Mr 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 lackof rain by acknowledging it,” Mr McCallum said. “This is a powerful tool that everyone can use to create positive change. Many successful sports people and ancient races use visualisation.”

Well, I can visualise a lot of press for McCallum, a speaker and meditation leader of 17 years who helps people create the life they want to live with the law of attraction and quantum physics. “When you hold a thought with emotion for one minute and 11 seconds, you will attract that which you think about. Well, I vote we get some sponsorship at the ISM Community and get Mr McCallum around to a few of our cleints to give him the ultimate test - not easy stuff like making it rain but writing a series of policies and procedures that people read, get and follow. I can visualise Mr McCallum a beaten man and I further see me madly visualising for my alloted one minute and 11 seconds and still not understanding why any one would support Tottenham Hotspur.

LOL. Great stress reliever that 'rain visualization prayer' :-)

... did it work, did you get some rain?

As the visualization of policies and procedures..... I agree ;-) it will take more than visualization techniques. It will take an enthusiastic ISM community, and this we need to work on....

I guess the visualization prayer worked ;-)

After all there was no request made on 'how much rain' just that it should rain!
