Hozro (also Hozhó) is a Navajo word meaning to be in harmony with one’s environment, at peace with one’s circumstances and free from anger or anxieties. Hozro is a feeling tone and is often translated as beauty. It refers to a essential intrinsic harmony and physical well-being. We can think of hozro also as a perfect balance. From hozro’s point of view the question is not how to live with an unbearable fate, but how to dance alongside it. The idea of hozro says, it is possible to find the right relation to the tragic of life. Hozro is the core of Navajo medicine. Healing ceremonials of the Navajo aim to draw the ill person back to hozro.
