TINA:  Greetings all enlightened souls who joined together at Peacock Paradise to celebrate life’s journey. I woke up this morning singing Om Mani Pame Hung. It’s a joy to carry these tunes with me after attending the Dances. Yesterday’s prayer was the hauntingly melodic: “This is not my body – this is the temple of God. This is not my heart – this is the altar of God.”

BECKY:  Wonderful Dances of Universal Peace healing ceremony! Peace in the world begins with peace within us. The energy in the circle is sacred & it’s wonderful that we can experience it, thanks to the songs, stories, guidance & devotion to the One.

JAIA:  The Dances of Universal Peace are beautiful & enriching in a way that somehow creates a protective orb around me, so that whatever else I’m exposed to or involved in, I’m protected by SPIRIT.

MARLOU: Thank you for a most wonderful day of dance & healing; it really was a powerful afternoon & evening.

JAYNE: Thank you for opening & hosting the gathering last Saturday! It was such a beautiful group of illumined souls who felt Joy & Peace radiating through all. The food was a super treat as well.

“What always attracts the mystic most is Nature – the soul’s nourishment. Nature inspires, uplifts, gives the solitude for which the soul continually longs…A person may meditate with eyes closed for 10 years & not attain that bliss which the one with open eyes will receive from communicating with nature, recognizing God in it, identifying the Divine with all things.”
