Portland, OR -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/26/2014 -- Experience an Eckankar Community HU on Saturday, March 8, 2014 at 2 p.m. at the Oregon Eckankar Regional Seminar. Participants will sing HU, a love song to God, followed by a short period of quiet contemplation.

Regardless of your beliefs or religion, singing HU (pronounced like the word hue) can bring you greater happiness, love, and understanding.

“Singing HU draws us closer in our state of consciousness to the Divine Being. It has helped people of many different faiths open their hearts more fully to the uplifting presence and security of God's love.”
—Harold Klemp, Spiritual Leader of Eckankar

Singing HU can help you experience:
- Comfort, peace, calm
- Expanded awareness
- Inner light or sound
- A subtle sense of Divine Love
- The healing of a broken heart
- Solace during times of grief
- A release of fears
- Answers to your questions

"HU is woven into the language of life. It is the Sound of all sounds. It is the wind in the leaves, falling rain, thunder of jets, singing of birds, the awful rumble of a tornado. Its sound is heard in laughter, weeping, the din of city traffic, ocean waves, and the quiet rippling of a mountain stream. And yet, the word HU is not God. It is a word people anywhere can use to address the Originator of Life."
—Harold Klemp, Spiritual Leader of Eckankar

The 2014 Oregon Eckankar Regional Seminar is for those people interested in tools to help conquer fears, resolve karmic ties, face challenges with ease, accept inner guidance, recognize daily miracles, and live a more spiritually oriented life.
