Peace Pilgrim, a lady who walked a pilgrimage in the United States and parts of Canada and Mexico for 28 years, also wrote a few poems and songs.  My very favorite song of Peace is called, “I Am”.  It is a joy to share with you today a version recently posted on YouTube, sung by Kathy Miller, who was a member of the Friends of Peace Pilgrim and made her transition to spirit in 2006.  This song is with images of Peace. 

                Owen Waters, a spiritual researcher and author, speaks about his perspective for spiritual service through healing. In his own words, “ . . . By spiritually uplifting the world, you spiritually uplift yourself. People used to gain spiritual growth by becoming isolated from humanity. They would meditate in a remote cave or join a monastery in order to free themselves of the distractions of the world. However, with today’s emerging heart-centered consciousness, everything has changed. Instead of isolation from humanity, the key to progress is now service to others and that means living in the noise and information overload of the modern world.

               He believes every person has the ability to call on the power of spiritual energy to transform the world into a better place.

              This is part of his technique, “With every inbreath, see your lungs being filled with the vibrant white light of universal life energy. With every outbreath, recall your visualization or repeat your intention in your mind and send the power of this love and light out into the world. See this energy as a beam of brilliant white light coming from the focal point of your heart energy . . . Perform this as a series of inbreaths and outbreaths for as long as you wish, then relax and spend some time in the afterglow of a spiritual mission well accomplished.”

Here are more details about the Healing technique he proposes.

                As we give value to our experiences we encourage our own development.  They are symbols of our inner being.  The experiences we acquire through life become a source of personal counsel to guide our way and open up horizons for richer expression of our inner potential and personality in service to all.                

               These are my commitments as I move through life appreciating experience.  Through an expanded vision of humanity as ONE I acknowledge the ultimate good in all experience.  Today I am determined to find a constructive use in all that happens and see all situations as opportunities to expand understanding.  In the peaks and valleys of my journey I consciously focus on the way my choices affect my experience and shape my destiny.  In the face of sorrow and pain I stand serene.  I see the best in all things.  I welcome and accept experience as a source of prosperity and fulfillment and joyously listen and learn from others and share the fruits of my inspiration in the awareness of the present moment.” 

                I would love to hear your commitments.
