Beauty touches us in the deepest parts of our psyche and soul.   Beauty puts in touch with that which is the best in us.
The Navajo have a curing ceremony which restores harmony in an individual by showing them the way to return to beauty.

The Navajo Beauty Way Ceremony

In beauty may I walk
All day long may I walk
Through the returning seasons may I walk
Beautifully I will possess again
Beautifully birds
Beautifully joyful birds
On the trail marked with pollen may I walk
With grasshoppers about my feet may I walk
With dew about my feet may I walk
With beauty may I walk
With beauty before me may I walk
With beauty behind me may I walk
With beauty above me may I walk
With beauty all around me may I walk
In old age, wandering on a trail of beauty, lively, may I walk
In old age, wandering on a trail of beauty, living again, may I walk
It is finished in beauty
It is finished in beauty

May you walk in beauty...

Are you a harmonizer?

One of the Facebook group/individuals that I follow posted a quote from the late Sri Chinmoy, a spiritual teacher originally from India.   That quote: “Peace does not mean the absence of war. 
Peace means the presence of harmony, 
love, satisfaction and oneness."
~ Sri Chinmoy
I was struck by the inclusion of the word harmony in that quote.    Which reminded me that Michael Newton, Ph.D. in his book, DESTINY OF SOULS, describes souls that come to earth with specialities, one of which is a ‘harmonizer soul’.    My understanding of what he said about harmonizer souls is that they are people who specialize in balancing the energy of human interaction.  He goes on to say that harmonizer souls might be statesmen, inspirational messengers, negotiators, artists, musicians, writers.   When I worked in social services it certainly appeared that we were doing a lot of harmonizing.   I also understand Newton to say that these are not healers in the traditional sense of the word.    I have always felt that many social workers are ‘healers of the heart’.   Social workers/case managers/healers of the heart, I honor you.   Reader look within.  Are you a harmonizer? 

It is happening, even now.

One does not have to choose mastery.  One only needs to make the intent to live their lives from a higher perspective and to do it for themselves.   Learning to heal your life, recognize and move on from drama and seeking the place inside yourself where there is harmony will change your world and make it the world we really do desire for future generations.   We don't have to say 'I can't do it because it has never been done' or 'we have always had war and conflict that will never change'.  Changing the planet, making it safe, making it sustainable, healing our own lives is something we want to do for ourselves.   and it can happen.   I say it is happening, even now.
