What if we could sit in a room
uniquely exquisite
authentic, accepting, open
Spirits

beautifully bonded together

capturing words,

apprehending silence
and

giving voice

to the inner yearning of the soul?

While some people have a venue to express themselves spiritually, and connect with other beings on a spirit level –whether it be a church bible study, a yoga class or meditation group, most don’t.

A spirituality group has the benefits of bringing members deep into their own discovery about healing, creativity, relationships and spiritual connection. On a societal level, the uniting of women in spirit is increasingly cultivating an open and fertile garden for grace and love and compassion to flourish and impact our world with beauty and acceptance.

Let’s do it.

I used to think Jesus would climb inside your skin if you asked him to.

This is when I was young.

Eventually, I grew up and traded this god-inhabiting-the-body idea for a more lofty one: a person who converts becomes filled with the Spirit.

This idea was much easier to assimilate into my increasingly complex, doubt-filled mind.

Then there was Sam.

Yesterday, there was no abstract thought process to grab on to explain what I saw.

Yesterday I experienced Sam, converted.

Yesterday I saw a transformed man.

A true and documentable case of a person transplant.

Yesterday, Sam told me He asked Jesus to climb inside his skin.

And He did.

I want you think for a moment about your greatest disappointment this year.

Ask yourself if you would like to move forward. To heal, and to be free from pain.

To become free from the entrapment of this sadness.

This is momentous, this decision, because it requires movement on your part. It requires your intention. It requires discipline of the mind. Your mind. And it requires an agreement. Your agreement. It requires a pact with a power greater than yourself. It requires your decision to align with the most powerful force in the universe to heal.

Most people, when it comes right down to it, do not want to be reminded of the pain that they have felt in the past. And most people do not feel that it is possible to heal from deep sadness. A loss of a child, a devastating fall. Illness, disease.

But the truth is, this is the year. This is the year of God’s favor on you, of his comfort, and of his healing.
Are you ready?
If you would like to move forward, read on. Decide and desire healing in the area you need. Locate it.

Now…I am going to ask you to feel every sensation of the pain that is associated with that disappointment.
I know I just asked you to ponder the sadness–to remind yourself. But this is exactly what we must do in order to heal, and to experience freedom from our pain. We must move toward it first.

You know it if it’s still there.

Let us take a journey together–in and out of this sadness and on to freedom.

I would like for you only to move forward with this exercise if you are joining your heart, mind and soul with the power of God to heal and to bring freedom to you, right here, right now.

I will ask you again to feel all of the sensations of this sadness. To remind yourself. To not shrink from it, but to move toward it.

Now…Imagine yourself standing in a field that is clear and open. It is warm, the sun is shining, and you can see for miles all around you.

You may want to take a moment to notice your surroundings. Is there anything you can hear? Smell? Feel?

See yourself holding your pain in your hands. Your fists may be tightly clenched around your sadness.

Now see yourself bringing your sadness–your disappointment that you hold in front of you, and….
Open your hands. Notice any sensations you may have as you do this.

Now..In the center of you mind’s eye, bring forth the intention to heal yourself, aligning yourself with the power of your God.

Take a deep breath in and out to anchor yourself in this moment.
Now remember, this is the year. This is your year. Of favor, of blessing, of healing.

Notice now that a light, fresh sweet smell permeates the air around you. Over your shoulders, there is a garland of fresh flowers, bold and bright with deep rich hues of reds and blues and yellows…that feel and look and smell beautiful. Heavenly. Your garland of beauty.
You pause for a moment as you see your sadness in front of you, evaporate into ashes–to dust…and it is blowing off of your opened palms.

This garland of beauty comes as a gfit, encircling you now. It is replacing all of your sadness…all of your pain. Feel, smell and gaze at your garland, and notice every sensation of this softness that surrounds you.

Now with your face turned toward the sun, notice a loving presence that desires healing for you. Wholeness. Enter into this loving presence with your open hands, your face turned upward. Notice the warmth of loving fingers upon your forehead. There is a moist sensation underneath the fingers, and it feels as though this softness may have drip down over your eyes.

This is your joy-this is another gift for you–the oil of gladness.

You are being marked by this oil of gladness–of joy. Anointed, loved and healed by this touch upon your forward head.
Feel every sensation of this loving touch and notice the joy that wells up deep within you.
Your shoulders are being draped with a new garment now…
It is the most exquisite, colorful fabric that you have ever seen—and it flows with you when you move. It brings lightness and joy. It brings forth the desire deep with in you for freedom. It makes you want to run, and jump and shout and throw your arms wide open…
This is your garment of praise. It is yours to keep. It is part of your blessing today, the favor that rests upon you–this gift of healing, this gift of love.

Notice now, the lightness that you feel and remember the ashes that blew off your finger tips a moment ago.
Remind your self through the day and the days to come, that you have joined with the power of God now to heal from the pain you have been carrying.
You are no longer a slave to this disappointment. No longer will it plague your thoughts during the day nor will it invade your dreams at night.

You have been blessed. You have been give a garland to replace those ashes, you have been anointed with the oil of gladness…and you dance in your spirit mind and heart and body with your new garment of praise.
This is your year.

There is favor on the words that you speak. When you speak Truth with My mind and your open heart, your words will not blow like ashes in the wind. Nor will they fall to the ground. They will go forth-from the whisper of your prayer to the living, breathing, reality you yearn for. Believe it.

Just do it.
You know it’s something you have been wanting to do for quite some time. You long for it, pine after it, yet you can’t seem to make space for it amidst the fast paced, non-stop busy life you lead.
Now you know it’s time.
The problem is…you feel guilty. Because you are like me.
Whenever you slow down, whenever you begin to stop and breathe…you think of something else you should be or could be doing instead.
The thing is, it’s time.
It’s time to create that room for quiet–more stillness, more spaciousness.
You know that this space gives way to peace. To strength. To creativity. To connection to the Spirit of God.
Give yourself permission. Everything and everyone else will survive if you grant yourself these extra ten minutes. Heck, a half a day.
You won’t be as sorely missed as you might think.
Grant yourself the space and time you need for the quiet your soul longs for–to rejuvenate, to listen, to sense and to feel. To know where your foot will tread next.
Only then will you truly know.
You can do it.
It’s ok.
