Maine AG Files Suit Against Gentle Wind
WMTW, USA
July 14, 2006

AUGUSTA, Maine -- The Maine Attorney General's Office has filed a lawsuit against a controversial Kittery-based nonprofit group.

The Gentle Wind Project designs and sells what it calls "healing instruments" that it said solve a variety of physical and emotional ailments.

Others said the group is a scam.

The attorney general's office accused the group of falsely claiming that their products had healing qualities and of considering the income from their sale as charitable donations rather than sales proceeds.

Prosecutors want the Gentle Wind Project to liquidate its assets, pay the state's legal fees and refund anyone who bought items between 2000 and the present. If you were victimized, contact the Attorney Generals Office at 207-626-8800.

San Diego's Channel Ten News aired a story about the Gentle Wind Project on June 25, 2004. Click on the 10 News icon below to view the investigative story. Also visit the 10 News web link here or here.

Click above image to hear GWP founder Mary "Moe" Miller explain the origin of the above "healing instruments" the Gentle Wind Project claims is "based on technology from the spirit world" "offered" for "donations" in upwards of thousands of dollars to the public!SIA has been contacted by nearly four dozen people from across the United States and the United Kingdom reporting that an organization calling themselves the "Gentle Wind Project" and "Eye of the Sky" have bilked many out of thousands of dollars all in the name of "helping others"! Their websites are:

www.gentlewindproject.org and www.eyeofthesky.org

This group holds seminars across the country asserting that they have the only healing instrument technology. They manufacture these instruments, which are in the form of a puck, or card, etc. They assert that these instruments have healing power, which are not supported by any scientific evidence, and which opponents clearly dispute.

Experts we have talked to state there would be no value whatsoever in these instruments. Experts state that positive stimulation may occur to increase emotional well being, but that would have nothing to do with the instrument itself. Why is this important? The instrument sells for outrageous amounts of money. From $450.00 to $7,600.00, or one instrument not even listing the price, but instead stating you must call them for this Healing Arc Accelerator price!
