Global Harmonization Ceremony
This ceremony will be the culmination of all of the work over the past five years to establish a world-wide family of participants in the Harmonization Ceremony. There will be more people playing than ever before all over the world. We expect to generate a powerful sound at the same moments all around the planet that will influence the consciousness of all humanity.
The intentions of this Global Harmonization ceremony are:
H a r m o n y among our families, among our communities, among all countries and peoples, within ourselves. This Harmony comes from deep within and is a real, living entity. We can best concentrate on this when we simply remember a time in our life when we felt that “all is well,” all is in Divine Order, and there is Peace. Remember such a time, feel the feeling, let it fill our heart and our whole being.
A c c e p t a n c e of all people as our brothers and sisters. Acceptance of their beliefs, their path, their ways, their customs. We do not have to understand them. We probably never can. Acceptance of ourselves as how we are. Our good parts and those parts we want to change. The good things we have done and the bad. Everything that we are. Acceptance of everything that has happened to us and everything that happens as being in Divine Order. We do not have to understand why something happens, only trust and Accept that there is a reason that will be revealed in Divine Time.
U n i t y of all of us as One Family of Earth beings. This feeling of Unity comes to us as we accept everyone as our brothers and sisters. And as we realize that everything on this Earth is part of one Whole. We are all interconnected, interdependent and interwoven in the unfolding of this life on Earth.
J o y to all the world, to all the boys and girls, Mothers and Fathers, Grandmothers and Grandfathers. Joy is a very important part of Harmony! It is not the same as happiness, which is our birthright and which we can learn. Joy is a feeling that comes from deep inside, sometimes as a result of feeling the Harmony all around us, of Acceptance of all people and all things as they are, and of feelings at One, in Unity with All That Is.
C o m p a s s i o n for all people, all beings, all animals, all plants, all minerals, all mountains, waters and forests. This is caring for the well-being of all. This is respecting every living thing on this planet. This is a deep form of Love, which every thing on this planet deserves.
Among all beings of the planet is a very important part of our intention. We refer to beings not only on the surface of the planet, those who we are aware of; yet also those who possibly live within our Mother Earth, those who we are not aware of. We refer to the beings that swim in our waters, fly in our skies, burrow in our grounds, those who crawl and those who walk, those big enough to see and those too small for our eyes. Let us be in Harmony with, Accept, feel Unity with, share Joy with and have Compassion with every form of being on this beautiful Mother Earth!

The Intention Experiment
There are many ways each and every one of us can be part of the peace movement. You don't need to make radical life changes in order to affect change in the world.
Look at the following eight pathways, which one speaks to you?
Governance/Law/Security
Imagine that everyone in the world, the Earth and all its inhabitants and land masses, are protected in a positive, loving manner.
Examples of Peace:
- Writing a letter or e-mail to an elected official to support positive legislature and government practices.
- Participating in a march or celebration for peace or other positive cause.
- Voting in elections.
Education/Media
Imagine education and literacy for all. Imagine media inspiring the best in people by covering positive stories, creative resolutions, and peaceful gatherings.
Examples of Peace:
- Calling a local news station to cover a positive and "feel good" story.
- Volunteering or working with children who need help with homework.
- Leading exercises in a school that teach children creative resolution to conflicts and issues.
Economics/Business
Imagine businesses striving to benefit the world and its inhabitants as a whole, not just its shareholders. Businesses can ask, "How can we serve?"
Examples of Peace:
- Being part of your company's social giving board, encouraging giving to the community.
- Volunteering with your department for a worthy cause as a team building exercise.
- Buying fair-trade merchandise whenever possible.
Health/Relationships
Imagine people taking care of their bodies and relationships as they would a brand-new child - with love, peace, and tolerance.
Examples of peace:
Volunteering for an elderly care home leading exercise or art classes.
Taking the time to truly listen to a person you have a relationship with.
If you work in a health care system, creating or participating in an advisory board that encourages positive and supportive practices for all: patients, doctors, nurses, and therapists.
Science/Technology
Imagine the benefits of science and technology enhancing all circles of life. Science and technology help to form the collective consciousness. Encourage research and technological advances in areas that support the common good of people and the Earth.
Examples of peace:
- Do a science fair project with your child that teaches them and others the interdependency of people and nature.
- Create a website to encourage love, hope, or peace in some aspect of life that interests you.
- Support organizations that encourage positive research and humanistic advances in science.
Religion/Spiritual Teachings
Imagine a world of tolerance and appreciation of diverse religious beliefs, people encouraged to practice spirituality, and fostering the reverence of life.
Examples of peace:
Working at a Sunday school or similar to teach and inspire children to explore their connection to Spirit.
Speaking up when someone says something derogatory about a religious group. Encouraging understanding and education.
Speaking with your children about the importance of honoring other people's beliefs.
Environment/Habitat
Imagine the Earth in all her natural beauty treasured, and its resources utilized in a sustainable manner, for this and future generations.
Examples of Peace:
- Picking up trash in your neighborhood or when you are on a walk or at a park or beach.
- Eating locally grown or organic foods when possible.
-Volunteering for an organization that works with businesses to incorporate environmental and resource-sustainable practices.
Culture
Imagine all arts, media, communications, and cultural exchanges inspiring the best in people. Imagine Unity in Diversity.
Examples of Peace:
- Supporting art shows, movies, or other cultural events that support peace.
- Visiting museums and places that teach you about a part of society or culture you didn't know about previously.
- Traveling to other countries. Exploring cultures other than your own.
