Iranians Flock to Election Polls--Go, Brave Souls, Go!

This month's Freedom Series highlights the people of Iran as they bravely head to election polls, today, June 14, 2013. One remaining moderate candidate remains in the Presidential election after religious leader Ayatollah Khamenei arranged to have two others disqualified and one withdrew himself to avoid pulling votes away from the most popular candidate, Hassan Rouhani.

Rouhani has the votes of many women and young people as he faces five hard-line candidates closely tied to the current president, Ahmadinejad, and religious leader, Ayatollah Khamenei. Almost all of the five hard-liners have been suspected of bombings and having a hand in the slaughter of innocents during past uprisings (gives a ridiculously new meaning to the definition of hard-line!).

Many say today's election is a farce after accusations of fraud during the last election and the bloody crackdown on peaceful protesters that followed, but I'm holding to the third Inner Constellation Truth:

Everything, no matter how challenging, has the ability to be transformed. 

The reformist Rouhani's poll results continue to surge as the country is very clearly divided between traditionalists and those who want change. Iranians are enthusiastically turning out at polling stations and voting hours have been extended to keep up with the demand, while social media explodes with anticipation. Results are expected by Saturday, so stay tuned.

Hearing about the election this morning, I asked myself what I could do, sitting here in the Good Ol' US of A to assist the courageous Pollsters today and in the upcoming weeks? I came up with two contributions:

1) Pump up my care focus to include Iranians and the elections. Visit this page for my favorite ways to do this.

2) Diligently practice gratitude for my daily freedoms over the upcoming days following the election.

Both of these fall in the category of creating global coherence. Global Coherence Initiative is a science-based project tracking the ability of focused intention to positively influence areas of unrest. Inner Constellation language might say it something like this:

IC Truth number 1: Everything is energy; the body is the interface.

I'm using my thoughts, intentions and actions to focus on a positive outcome in the Middle East while truly soaking in the freedoms that I know through direct experience encourage a good life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
