For me music is a form of prayer, drawing from within us the peace that already exists. We can allow peace to be present on Earth, because it is already present within each of us. Within our hearts, our souls and our beings, we carry our unique connection to Spirit. I was presented with a chance to fashion a prayer for us to unveil that connection, and our own inner peace. As we feel it each day in ourselves, we will see it more in others. Unveiling Peace: Chants of Compassion from Eastern and Western Prayer I have the opportunity to share my healing music with a mainstream musician (the celloist YoYo Ma, and a major world-wide record label (Sony Records). And you are the way it can happen. I need people: many, many, many, many masses of people to 'vote' by noon, EST Jan 10, 2009 for my music. My sense is that although this is set up as a popularity contest, this may be a doorway for Sony and others in the recording business to hear and see the power of healing music. If you can assist me in this, please do. This ends January 10 at noon, EST. Anyone anywhere in the world can vote. And as they say, vote early and often! HOW TO VOTE FOR NORMA AND HER HEALING MUSIC Go to: http://www.indabamusic.com/submissions/show/4769 Listen to Norma's latest song Unveiling Peace: Chants of Compassion from Eastern and Western Prayer Please forward this email - If you know of others interested in helping please forward them this email. Everyone can vote for this song, regardless of where you live. Voting ends on January 10th, 2009 at noon, EST (New York City time) The song begins as the quiet sounds of a schruti box welcome you into a space of inner contemplation. First an eastern chant invoking compassion (Om Tara) then the western chant enters on cello. The two chants dance for a while, before moving fully into Dona Nobis Pacem. Eastern Chant Om Tara (Tara is a divine feminine aspect of compassion_ Western Chants Dona = Beloved or Honored Lady Nobis = to us Pacem = Peace May the inner Peace that is carried by so many in our world be unveiled, so that it might be known by all.
