I don't know about you, but it's been a whirl wind of a first quarter in 2018 for me. I prayed for connection with others at the beginning of the year. WOW, did I get an "E" Ticket Ride (for those of you of an age to remember what that meant @ Disneyland). 

No sooner did I begin tax season with AARP Foundation, the certification to teach the "Connection Practice" was going to be condensed into a one week training course. Here was a chance to take advantage of a 'heady' goal in the middle of tax season. This would be risky in many ways. How would I juggle something I could not afford; arrange for others to cover in my absence; and find a way to pay for a week-long training along with a place where I could afford to stay?

The first challenge was delay by what turned out to be one of many compounded by my own lack of preparation for the challenge ahead of me. I prayed for support. If this challenge was one that was meant to be, it would be, was the response I received. It was then that I discovered my traveling and camping membership has a campground located 15 minutes from the Connection Practice training center. Full hook-up, hot showers and all. O.K.... Maybe this can happen, afterall!

​Ideal ~ so I thought. Missed opportunities to prepare for the event popped up at every turn to the point I was ready to back out at the last minute. Whatever it was that drove me to trust an inner voice compelled me to believe this was a 'required course'. I began to practice "connection" with others after connecting within myself. It takes a "Pause" (I call it the pause that refreshes! "Empathy + Insight = Connection) is possible once you pause long enough to connect within yourself before you connect with others. What am I feeling? What do I need?  What more do I need to know about this?

No sooner had I prayed for connection with others, my higher consciousness brought every possible opportunity for me to learn the way to do it. Relationships can be problematic if consciousness and dialogue is without empathy to truly listen. Insight comes from a higher realm of comprehension and understanding. I know that when I am connected coherently within my being, I am able to use the power that is my natural inheritance. Whatever I call that higher consciousness doesn't matter. Prayers were answered. 

Nevertheless, like Tevye in 'Fiddler on the Roof' ~ "Lord, why must you bless me this much?"


The connection practice of the "Connection Practice" was worth every reason to learn it, apply it and experience a flow of life that brings purpose, reason, creativity, and action together to manifest what you want rather than what you don't want. It's like anything else, you get better at it when you practice it. (Pun Intended)

Unity of Stockton is planning a workshop introducing the "Connection Practice" Part 1 in May. (tentavily on May 19th & 20th) Respond to office@unityofstockton.com for information about the workshop.
