Can we stop the oil leak through visualization or prayer?

Chunyi Lin, a Qigong master who I am a fan of on Facebook, recently wrote about the Mexican Gulf oil spill, saying,

"This huge oil gush in the Gulf is part of Mother Earth's body and could be
compared to bleeding. Something we can all do together is to visualize the oil
leak surrounded in green light with the love and message sent to Earth to stop
the bleeding and be completely healed. There is power when many come together to
send love and healing."

This reminded me of the Islamic supplication for rain and other prayers we do.

Today, the Council on Islamic-American Relations (CAIR) issued an action alert saying,

"CAIR is calling on mosques and other houses of worship across the nation to
offer prayers for an end to the Gulf oil spill and the environmental disaster it
is causing."

I'm not sure that visualization or prayer could be very effective in stopping the oil "bleeding," but at least it will stop me from "bleeding" along with it emotionally.

I would guess that the purpose of these prayers and visualizations is to make sure that you remain in good spirits despite difficulties beyond your control.

And if we were emotionally disturbed over the oil spill, visualizing the healing can help heal this emotional disturbance.
