At Unity, we strive to develop and grow our spirit, our mind, and our bodies.
Nine Principles of Harmony
There is one Awareness, one Consciousness,
one energy, one Existence. All the principles are expressions of this one
unifying principle, beams of light emanating from different facets of one jewel.
Their light illuminates and penetrates Consciousness, energy, and matter,
revealing their essential unity. When
you first relate to any one of the principles, whether through your mind, your
feelings, or your body, you are receiving a glimmer of its light. When you take
a few steps in the direction of the light, you can experience that principle in
your body, feelings, and mind simultaneously. The principle becomes a road on
which you travel. As you come more into harmony with it, you can taste the
principle in your Being, and begin to understand it in your consciousness. As
its light becomes brighter, you naturally see and do that which creates harmony.
Continuing
on that infinite road, you may see that all the principles are really one,
because their light comes from the same source. And in the moment, you may
receive a taste of your essential nature and understand that you and that light
are one. In this most precious realization, you see that you exist, not
separately, but in unity with Existence. The light, the Truth you have been
searching for, is your own true nature. Real health means one thing-harmony with
Existence. Body Comfortable
- The body's level of comfort is directly related to our level of
consciousness. When we connect to the instinctive wisdom of the body, we find
real comfort because the body, by its very nature, is always "at
home." No Extra - To
express our true nature, nothing extra is needed. Firmness and Gentleness
- Firmness and gentleness come from a receptive mind and supportive
feelings. Real firmness is always gentle. Real gentleness is always firm. When
we are present, the body naturally manifests firmness and gentleness. Full Participation
- The most natural way of moving and living is with full participation.
Full participation is possible when body, mind, and feelings are united. Mutual Support
- The
more our Being participates, the more we are able to support life and recognize
that Existence supports us. Unified body, mind, and feelings support us to live
harmoniously. Giving and receiving support take place simultaneously. No Judgment
- The atmosphere of non-judgment gives us a taste of acceptance as we are
in this moment. When we come to the present, we are free from judgment. To be
non-judgmental means to have confidence in your true nature. Single Moment / Single Activity
- Each moment is new, fresh, totally alive. Each movement is complete by
itself. A taste of presence and fulfillment is available in each moment, each
activity - when body, mind, and feelings are unified. No Hurry / No Pause
- In the natural rhythm of life energy, there is no hurry and no pause. No Force
- When we let go of assumptions of separation, we let go of force. When
we express our true nature, we use no force.
