National Rain Day launches on May 8, 2007
A GROUP of Australian entrepreneurs have spear-headed the launch of National Rain Day on May 8, 2007, to attract significant rainfall.
The idea, which came to McCallum Marketing CEO John McCallum during an XL Wealth Shift seminar on the Gold Coast in late April, comes in response to Prime Minister John Howard calling on Australians to pray for rain.
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 lack of rain by acknowledging it,” Mr McCallum said.
“This is a powerful tool that everyone can use to create positive change. Many successful sportspeople and ancient races use visualisation.”
Sunshine Coast author Gabrielle Hart, who wrote The Peacemaker's Way, said the method tied in with principles taught in the movie, The Secret.
The speaker and meditation leader of 17 years helps people create the life they want to live with the law of attraction and quantum physics.
“The concept is if you hold a positive thought with emotion for more than one minute and 11 seconds, it will come to you. If you think and feel rain, you"ll get rain. What you think and hold with emotion, you attract,” Mrs Hart said.
Similarly, international peak performance and success coach Kurek Ashley believes using creative visualisation is a fantastic way to tap into the universal intelligence to direct yourself and your life towards a particular goal.
He success coached Australian beach volleyball players Natalie Cook and Kerrie Pottharst to win gold medals at the 2000 Sydney Olympics with various strategies, including: “Focus not on where you’ve been and not on where you are, only on where you want to go.”
“You are never given a wish without being given the power to make it true,” he said.
Mr McCallum said National Rain Day was there to create rain but rain may not come on the day.
“It’s all in the intention” he said.
“We want this country to return to a harmonious natural balance. If we do not attract more rainfall, it will affect the quality and quantity of the food we eat.”
Mr McCallum has nine children and 11 grandchildren while Mrs Hart has five children.
“This is not just about our children but about securing the planet for future generations.”
Other founding members of the National Rain Day Action Group include The Supporter Network founder Diane Pike, of Brisbane, and AA Xposé Media Director/ Photojournalist Aldwyn Altuney, of the Gold Coast.
