'Metta' is a Sanskrit word which translates into loving-kindness. Metta Effect™ is a volunteer group founded on the principle of loving-kindness and helping others free of charge. The volunteer work is funded by the volunteers ourselves and we hope to expand the kinds of services we offer whenever possible. Volunteerism is a genuine way of helping others without soliciting donations or charging those who benefit. We encourage you to tour our site and contact us if there is something we can do for you, or if you'd like to volunteer with us!

Regarding the disasters happening in various parts of the world, some may be natural forces at work or natural forces acting up as a result of climate change caused by humans, or a mixture of both. Some disasters may be inevitable, but man-made disasters can certainly be avoided. Some people believe that the energy vibration of humans as a whole can affect mother nature either positively or negatively...we are all one system on earth after all. Therefore, we should strive to make necessary sacrifices in our lifestyle to culminate in positive changes for the long-term. According to the Humane Society, we can cut greenhouse gases by reducing the amount of animal products we consume. Factory Farming has gotten out of hand due to the world's population so we need to try and lessen the toll on animals and mother nature. In addition, we should find some worthy wildlife cause to support with time, energy, or money. Most importantly, we should begin noticing our actions with great sensitivity and consider whether our action/decision is harming anyone or the environment. By cultivating more awareness, we can live in wisdom and know how to do the right thing in any given situation. Such mindfulness will result in positive vibrations that channel harmony and love into our lives.

It's that time again! We are going to distribute some more carepacks this 2011 Holiday Season! Check out what we included in our last winter carepacks. This season we want to add something special like a little angel charm or something that makes homeless people feel watcher over. No one is completely alone and needs a little reminder :)
