Recently, I was asked to contribute a few words about music and spirituality for a new book entitled "The Spiritual Significance of Music (www.musicandspirituality.com) compiled and edited by Justin St. Vincent. With his permission, I present you the link to my contribution:

Just for today...
May you know that who you really are is a divine infinite being that cannot die.
May you understand that each positive action you choose
returns back to you multiplied.
May you realize that you are a powerful manifesting being
who can create anything your heart desires.
May you give generously to others from a place of trust
and knowing this is an infinite abundant Universe.
May you radiate your love like the Sun with everyone you encounter.
May you become a trust-a-holic who can easily let go of any fear that arises.
May you experience total freedom from your ego/mind and whatever thought patterns it is addicted to.
May you be filled with gratitude and be truly thankful for the smallest of blessings in your life right now.
May you enlighten others with your simple sweet divine presence
And allow this lightness to radiate to others as laughter, appreciation and love.
May you always find great peace at the center of the cyclone of life....

St Jafree's Prayer ~

With loving kindness ~ Coralina ~

I would like to share a prayer for healing Mother Earth ..and also for the people of Chile ~ The the news of the tremendous 8.8 earthquake in Chile and tsunami warning for the Pacific ...has shaken my spirit~

With peace and love ~ Coralina ~

A Native prayer for healing ~

O Great Creator,
I come before you in a humble manner
With tears in my eyes and an ancient
song from my heart, I pray.

To the four powers of Creation,
To the Grandfather Sun,
To the Grandmother Moon,
To the Mother Earth,
And to my ancestors.

I pray for my relations in Nature,
All those who walk, crawl, fly, and swim,
Seen and unseen, To the good spirits
that exist in every part of Creation.

May there be good health and healing for this Earth,
May there be Beauty above me,
May there be Beauty below me,
May there be Beauty in me,
May there be Beauty around me.
I ask that this world be filled with Peace, Love and Beauty.

For Valentine's Day .. I found this Osho quote on Love to share with all at Divine Earth's place of love and beauty ~ All love ~ Coralina ~

Love has to be given and then it comes of its own accord
existence is not miserly, if we give and share it returns back
but one should not give in order to get something back because that is not giving
one should simply give for the sheer joy of giving and then it comes
and it comes as a great surprise because you were not expecting
you were not hoping you were not waiting
and suddenly the guest has come
and he has knocked on the door

In India we have a very beautiful word for the guest
it does not exist in any other language
in India our word for the guest is atiti
Atiti means one who comes without informing you
if he informs you he is not a guest
if he gives you a date, that I am coming
on this date, by this train
then he is not a guest
because you are already prepared
then you are going to receive him at the station
and...then you are ready, it is not a surprise

"As you move above to the fourth center - that is the heart - your whole life becomes a sharing of love. The third center has created the abundance of love. By reaching to the third center in meditation, you have become so overflowing with love, with compassion, and you want to share. It happens at the fourth center, the heart. Thats why even in the ordinary world people think love comes out of the heart. For them it is just hearsay, they have heard it; they dont know it because they have never reached to their heart. But the meditator finally reaches to the heart. As he has reached to the center of his being - the third center - suddenly an explosion of love and compassion and joy and blissfulness and benediction has arisen in him with such a force that it hits his heart and opens the heart. The heart is just in the middle of all your seven centers - three centers below, three centers above. You have come exactly to the middle."

Blessings and love ~ Coralina ~

The Souls of people, on their way to Earth-life, pass through a room full of Lights;
Each takes a Taper, often only a spark, to guide it in the dim country of this world.

But some souls are rare fortune, are detained longer and have time to grab a handful of Tapers, which they weave into a Torch.

These are the Torch-Bearers of humanity, its Poets, Seers, and Saints, who lead and lift the race out of darkness, towards the Light.

They are the lawgivers and the Saviors, the Light-Bring..ers, Way-Show..ers and Truth-Tell..ers, and without them,

Humanity would Lose its way in the Dark.....

~ PLATO ~

I dedicate this poem to all the torch-bearers of light that bless our lives ~

With love ~ Coralina ~

Johannes/Sevara's music is my number one food for my soul - always ~ But here is some other soothing music I came across to share ~ Blessings~

There is a secret place, somewhere in a dream ~
A place where the ocean waves gently surround you ~

The sun sets in the distance ~
Turning the sky golden hues .. warming your soul ~

There is a place of bliss ~
Somewhere in a dream ~

Music by Café del Mar ~

A quote to share .. with love ~ Coralina ~

"Listen to the song of life. Life is a melody; existence is musical -- for so many reasons. Existence is harmony; it is not anarchy. It is not a chaos; it is a cosmos, a unity.

So complex, so vast, but still united. And life pulsates -- from the lowest atom to the highest star. Wave lengths differ, pulsations are of different frequencies, but the whole pulsates in a deep unity, in a harmony. Plotinus has called this 'the music of the spheres'. The whole existence is a music."

Osho ~

The person who discovered the law of love was a far greater scientist than any of our modern scientists ~ Mahatma Gandhi

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without ~ Buddha

All works of love are works of peace ~ Mother Theresa

~ Reflecting on a sacred n' beautiful moment I had recently - standin' in front of my spiritual temple - I was greeted to da majesty of da nite sky...with stars twinklin' so quietly - so gracefully ~

I felt the presence of God - among the stars - combined w/ my surrounding environment - at that moment....a cathartic n' emotional experience I will cherish....

A beautiful quote by Osho -

"Everything passes on. It is a caravan of stars, of days, of months, of years, of seasons, but you – you simply remain here, silently watching the whole procession."

— Osho

"I believe banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies!

 

If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, 1st by inflation, then by deflation, the banks & corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

 

- Thomas Jefferson 1802

I am almost finished my second read of your book Johannes and I am taking more time to contemplate your words this time. As a corporate controller I feel your book was written just for business executives like me. I found that it showed allot of common business sense. Your new age attitude really is very helpful in solving problems.

A Warrior of the Light knows that certain moments repeat themselves.

Coralina,

you are such a special person here on Divine Earth... since my words are poor when it comes to making a wish for such a great person as you, I will let others' to do it for me:

On your birthday, and always...

“love life, engage in it, give it all you've got. love it with a passion, because life truly does give back, many times over, what you put into it” Maya Angelou
