There are untold ways in which human beings can incur
mental and emotional harm. Losing a loved one, getting divorced, becoming
ill, watching someone you love suffer from a painful illness, losing
a pet, getting fired or being laid off from a job, being without financial
resources are a few that would be familiar to those of us in western
societies. Even if you are someone with a very fortunate life, it is
unlikely in our world that you would escape mental and emotional hurt.
The educational practices in most industrialized societies are very
harmful to children all by themselves. One only needs to look at the
use of public humiliation to control and "motivate" children
and one can know that schools have not been established with the well-being
of children in mind.
The Gentle Wind Project is a non-profit world healing
organization founded in the early 1980s. The Project has developed
a unique healing technology designed to alleviate human suffering
by
eliminating the emotional hurts of the past. The healing available
through the Project is offered free of charge to anyone in the world.
The Gentle
Wind Project believes that each human being lives inside an energetic
or electromagnetic field commonly called the human aura. It is within
this field that each person's emotional hurts and wounds are stored.
Each time a person is hurt or wounded physically, mentally, or emotionally,
this field is damaged. The harm that is incurred affects the way
that
people behave, think and feel. While psychotherapy can be very useful
to people when they need to talk about themselves, no amount of talking
or counseling can heal or repair the damage to the energetic structure
at its source. The healing instruments of the Gentle Wind Project
were
designed to heal and repair mental and emotional damage at its source
within each person"s energetic structure.
Most people cannot see an energetic structure. However,
all of us can observe a person's functioning. Does the person have
control over his or her negative behaviors? Are his or her relationships
healthy? Are the children in the family receiving good care? Does
the
person work at a job that is satisfying? Is the person's life as
wholesome and stress-free as possible, given the conditions in the
world? These are all indicators of how a person is functioning.
The Gentle Wind Project has spent the last 17 years
researching and developing the healing instruments, making sure that
those who used the instruments obtained consistent, observable, lasting,
positive results. As a group of former educators, social workers and
engineers, the last thing the Project was interested in doing was producing
another unproven, untested new age gadget. For this reason, the Project
tested the healing instruments on literally thousands of people representing
a wide variety of human conditions. The results were that the vast majority
of people who used the healing instruments felt calmer, stronger and
more in control of their own lives. Most people felt that they had the
resources to solve their problems without getting stuck in old, repetitive
behavior patterns. Painful, recurring dreams disappeared. Many people
found that they could do new things that once seemed out of reach. In
short, the vast majority of people obtained lasting, positive results
that could be observed in each person"s improved functioning.
The healing instruments repair and restore each person's
etheric or energetic structure, alleviating hurt and harm at its
source.
Most negative behavior patterns are driven by the damage within this
structure. The Project also believes that these damaged areas have
a
magnetic quality, causing people to attract people and situations with
similar kinds of harm. This magnetic attraction accounts for the
fact
that people often find themselves repeating the same unhealthy patterns
in their relationships and job choices. It also accounts for why
most
people have such a hard time breaking away from negative situations
once they are established. You might say people get caught in mutual
damage from which they have trouble escaping.
Again, the Project realizes that these ideas are difficult
to prove because the energetic or etheric structure is non-physical
in its nature and not visible to the naked eye. Human functioning
is
visible and observable, and was the focus of all the Project's
research. The Project did both blind and double blind studies. Participants
were asked to report on themselves. Feedback about participants was
also gathered from their friends and family members whenever possible.
This brief article will not lend itself to all of the details of
the
extensive research effort that was undertaken. One study might be of
particular interest. In 1990, the Project distributed 20 healing
instruments
to a group of helping professionals and helper types in general. The
Instrument Keepers were asked to share the instruments with as many
people as possible and to check in with people three months, six
months
and one year later.
None of the Instrument Keepers were given any description
of what the Project expected the healing instruments to do. Each of
them did know that the Project was developing a technology to help alleviate
some of the suffering but that was the extent of what was said. In every
case, the Instrument Keepers reported improvements. Some of the Instrument
Keepers were working with people in obvious distress where mental and
emotional improvement would be quite obvious.
One Instrument Keeper was a psychotherapist working
with abused and battered women, most of whom were still involved with
their abusers at the time the healing instrument was introduced. She
noted that the vast majority of women with whom she shared the instrument
were able to break out of the abusive relationships within three months
after using the instrument, a far greater number than those who did
not use the instrument and relied solely on counseling. Many of the
women stated that they were no longer attracted to the same kinds of
men. One year later, most of the women were in relationships with men
who liked them. Four years later, the women who could be contacted had
not gone back to the old patterns of abuse. Those who were in relationships
described their partners as kind and decent people.
A second Instrument Keeper was working in a women's
prison. She noticed that the women who used the healing instruments
gained control over their negative behaviors very shortly after using
the instrument. They were also more inclined to establish a more
positive
life for themselves within the prison setting, something that was noted
by several members of the prison staff who were unaware that the
women
had used a healing instrument. To date, those women who used the healing
instruments were also less likely to return to prison.
A third instrument was introduced to a half-way house
for recovering alcoholics and drug users. The house staff kept a daily
log of the activities of the house. The log showed that in the average
day, there were at least three serious arguments among house members.
Some of these arguments led to physical violence. The overall atmosphere
was generally described as tense and people were often listed as "on
the edge" meaning that they were so tense they were considering
leaving and returning to alcohol and drug-taking.
One month after the healing instruments were introduced,
the log books showed only three arguments in the full 30-day period,
none of which resulted in violence. The house members also stated that
they felt less tense and irritable and more able to have control over
their addictions. Since house members did not stay longer than six months,
we were unable to do long-term tracking. However, over the years we
have many reports from recovering alcoholics who say that using the
instrument got rid of enough of the inner suffering to make it possible
to stop drinking. The healing instruments do not interfere with free
will or personal responsibility, so people can still choose to act against
themselves. However, most people who have used the healing instruments
say they feel like they have a better chance of doing the right things
for themselves because they feel so much calmer and stronger.
What is also interesting to note is that from these
20 Instrument Keepers, word of the healing spread around the world.
By 1993, requests for the healing instruments were coming in from all
over the world. Prior to 1995, The Gentle Wind Project was not involved
in the media in any way. No journal or magazine articles had been published.
No mailings had been done. People who obtained the healing told others
who told others until word of the healing instruments spread around
the world.
By 1995, the Project had healing instruments in over
50 countries. Today the instruments are in over 100 countries around
the world. We estimate (conservatively) that more than 2,000,000 people
have obtained this healing. While we do not know the outcomes for all
of those people, we can say that we do not have a single report from
anyone saying that they felt hurt or harmed by using the healing instruments.
This is not a perfect healing. Human beings will always
be limited by their genetics and by so many of the things that happen
to each of us in the process of growing up. But, this healing seems
to allow each person to be the best of who and what they are without
carrying so many of the hurts and wounds of the past.
This healing cannot prevent people from incurring hurt
and harm in the future. Everyone is going to hit a rough patch from
time to time, no matter how fortunate a person's life may seem.
The research indicates that people who have this healing feel they
have the strength to get through their difficult times without being
over-taken
by stress.
The Healing Instruments
The information about how to construct the healing instruments
was given to this Project through telepathic impressions in the form
of engineering blueprints. Having said that, the Project again emphasizes
that the people involved in this work are not new agers nor are these
healing instruments new age gadgets. The Project is a serious scientific
effort to relieve some of the mental and emotional suffering of humanity.
The healing instruments come in several different forms.
One of the instruments is called the Rod of Light. It is a twelve-inch,
clear acrylic Rod with bands of colors on the top and bottom. It
contains
herbs, cell salts, minerals and precious stones in small amounts. The
Rod is held in the hand for five minutes, once in a person's life.
The instruments can be used by anyone of any age.
The following are testimonials:
"I am a nurse-midwife. I first used a Gentle Wind
instrument many years ago when I sought help after having a stillborn
child. I was one of the walking wounded at the time and I felt that
I would never recover. The day I held the instrument, my sorrow began
to lift. I not only recovered but I am stronger and better than I have
ever been. I have my own healing instrument now and I share it with
many people, including some families who, like me, lost their young
children. I see them recover just as I did. They get stronger and are
better able to go on with their lives."
Nancy Duncan, RN, CNM, Union, Maine
"My aunt lost two sons to AIDS. She was crying
all the time. She was very depressed. She held my Gentle Wind Instrument
and three days later she said; 'I do not know what you did to me
but my sorrow is gone.'"
R.T., Brooklyn, New York USA
"My family was a wreck. I have four children and
they were fighting all the time. My husband and I were at each other.
Everything was out of control. Within a few weeks after holding the
Rod of Light, my home was calm. We became a family. I have my own instrument
now and I see the same thing happen to other families. People get control
over themselves and start treating each other better."
C.C., Albany, New York USA
"Everybody I have shared the instrument with has
made positive changes, some of them very dramatic. In my women's
support group, many have said they treat their husbands and children
better because they feel so much less stressed. I have seen women
also
leave husbands who hurt and threatened them after years of feeling
imprisoned by their marriages."
Pearleen Jackson, PhD, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA
Funding
In order to raise the funds needed to research and develop
the instruments, the people of this Project sold their homes and cars,
cashed in their retirement accounts, and sold anything of value. At
the time the Project was founded, the commitment was made to make this
healing available to anyone in the world seeking this help free of charge.
It was also hoped that the Project would be able to distribute the healing
instruments free of charge as well. It was hoped that once people felt
the positive effects of the healings, they would naturally want to donate
to the Project. The Project received thousands of reports stating how
much help had been given but very few people sent financial support.
In October of 1995, the Project ran out of personal resources and was
forced to ask for set donation amounts from those who want to obtain
their own healing instruments. The healings are still free of charge.
Again, over two million people have received the benefits
of this healing. There are several thousand Instrument Keepers throughout
the world. Many are listed in an International Directory and are willing
to share their healing instruments with anyone seeking this help. If
you would like to obtain this healing or learn more about obtaining
a healing instrument, you can contact the Project.
