A Whisper from the Universe
I keep seeing the same word all over the place.
The word is Harmony.
I keep “seeing” it, or being aware of it – in books, online reading, advertisements, articles, AND it came up for me two times in a row playing with Hiro Boga’s Deva Cards.
And since I try to always pay attention when I see subtle synchronicities such as this (repetitious words, patterns, ideas), I decided to write about it. Unlike times when the message has been quite LOUD, (like my voicemail from the Universe), this particular message seemed very soft, and subtle, like a whisper, or a tinkling bell.
So I want to share with you some of the ways that I process these experiences so you too can be aware of the tender, gentle way the Universe sometimes communicates.
First, I pondered what I know of the thing, in this case the word harmony.
One of the dictionary definitions of harmony is “ a pleasing or congruent arrangement of parts“.
Being a coach, a healer, someone who takes great pleasure in helping others create balance and peace in their life and relationships, as well as having a musical background, – this word harmony carries multiple meanings for me. So as I pondered every facet of the word and what it means, I also asked myself what are the antonyms of the word, some things that are completely “other” from harmony? When I think of the opposite of harmony I imagine things like chaos, drama, discord, unrest, clashing, fighting, disagreement, exhaustion, worry, fear, fretting, and feeling unwell.
I asked where is this thing, harmony, showing up the strongest in my life? And where might it be lacking? Am I experiencing a “pleasing or congruent arrangement of parts”?
I took a moment to actually feel and sense the essence of harmony in my body, and noticed how it felt to me and what my response is to that feeling.
I considered what would it mean to have a greater experience of it, or a clearer sense of it, and what would it take to get that?
Today, as I write this to you, and as I ponder the word, I realize that right now I am experiencing harmony, for which I am profoundly grateful! The reason for my overwhelming sense of gratitude is probably because it has not always been this way. I haven’t always had a pleasing or congruent arrangement of parts – parts of my life, parts of me.
Like most of us having this human experience I have certainly had times in my life where I’ve had discord and been out of balance. I’ve had the experience of worrying or fretting or being fearful or feeling exhausted. Do you relate to any of these things? These are all signs that something is not in balance, that we are not experiencing harmony.
Many times it only takes a small adjustment to bring us back into a harmonious experience. Although the adjustment is very small, the shift back into balance can feel HUGE as we experience a seemingly gigantic flow of energy as opposed to the energy drain we were living with prior to the shift. One clue is to examine anything in your life that you are tolerating.
I want to encourage you to assess your own experience of Harmony, internally and externally. Where do you see it in your life, and where is it lacking?
Take a moment to get quiet, and ask yourself what small adjustment can you make to bring yourself back towards a harmonious experience?
I’d love to know what comes up for you when you ponder the word “harmony”. Leave me a comment and share your experience. 🙂
Love & Magic,
Hi Cindie,
Another great thought-provoking post. I love your deep look into serendipity in your life. I do think it’s important. I love Hiro Bogo’s cards and when Communion kept coming up for me, I began to practice more ways of connecting within, to Divine energy. When sitting with Harmony, I find I am finally in harmony with who I am, in alignment with my Soul Purpose ( a reading by Nahinni Faith was just phenomenal) and it feels gooood! Like you, have often been out of discord. Grateful to be currently in balance and not experiencing any area where I’m just tolerating. Thank you for highlighting that for me.
Love & blessings,
Caroline
Hi Caroline, thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experiences with coming into alignment with who you are! Such a powerful place to be, and I’m so happy that this post resonated with you. 🙂 xo
Hi Cindie!! This is a great post!! Lately I have been receiving messages from the Universe in relation to having harmony with the food that I intake and also with having harmony within my own body. I have always been very active physically and I noticed that as I have been approaching menopause, and this year celebrated my 50th birthday, I was not experiencing as much energy and noticed the pounds inching up, making me uncomfortable in my jeans, as well as in my own skin. So the Universe has had me sending messages of love to my body and to every morsel of food that goes into my mouth, thus establishing harmony with this stage of my life. Just within two days of doing this exercise, I have noticed my body respond back to me with love, and the extra pounds seem to be dropping off. It is nice when I read posts that resonate with those things I am experiencing. I will be sharing your blog!
Hi Joy, wow what a great confirmation of the power of intention and self love! I’m so glad you shared this story because I believe your experience adds so much to this post showing how returning to inner harmony always brings ease (as Terri mentioned in her comment) and positive outer manifestations. Thank you! 🙂 xo
A beautiful post that has made me think…I recently had to detach myself from someone, whose behaviour towards me I tolerated for a long time. Despite the sadness of that process, I feel liberated and more in tune with myself. Exploring what we are merely tolerating is a powerful way to make positive adjustments. Thank you, Cindie 😉 x
Hi Christiane, congratulations on that brave move. It is never easy detaching from a relationship. I’m happy to hear that you are feeling more in tune now! Anything we are tolerating creates an energy drain. I appreciate your comments. Thank you for sharing your experience. 🙂 xo
Ease is one of my themes for this year and one of my core values. I find that. for me, when there is harmony, there is ease.
I agree, Terri. As soon as we get out of balance and start feeling a lack of harmony things certainly become more of a struggle. I appreciate your comments. 🙂 xo
Harmony is such a beautiful word 🙂
It makes me feel at peace and at one with my spirit.
Hi Llinos, thank you for reading! Inner peace seems to be the real goal underneath nearly all of our desires, yes? 🙂 xo
