"Releasing The Fog" with Sheila Johnson
|
|
Musical Inspiration Mihran, Stephanie, and John Wise,
|
At times we experience confusion and bewilderment. It may happen when we are faced with a decision about something extremely important to us, especially when either choice has the potential for unpleasant consequences. How can we overcome this challenge? What can we do in this moment to center ourselves again? What can help lead us back to the purity of our Core and the resilience which lies within (even if it is covered by fog or by the veil of illusion) so we can think and act from the place of power of our Divine Center?

"Open Hearts and Open Minds" with Sheila Johnson
|
|
Music Inspiration
with Melissa Olsen |
It’s about keeping our hearts and minds open as we "respectfully" communicate & "truly" listen to each other about our differing opinions. We seek a greater understanding between us, among us, about what it is that we and other(s) truly feel, value and need. We come together to overcome our frustration, anger, fear, loneliness, sense of alienation, isolation, estrangement, and intense sadness from the divisiveness and perceived separation from those we care about. Our hearts soften as we experience an uplifting deep within our soul.

"Expressing the Desires Of The Heart" with Sheila Johnson
How do we do this?

"Naming, Claiming," and "Letters to God"
|
|
|
First, we name it - guided by our divinity, then we listen, allowing the quality that is seeking to emerge in new ways to be heard. Then we claim how that quality (and anything else we want to claim) will show up for us in 2020.
Each person is presented with a white tile. Meditation helps you connect with your divine essence, Higher Self, Divine Mind--whatever you call God. We are invited to ask for guidance on what our word or words will be for the year that will represent our highest intention, or it may be a name that we hear for this new spiritual identity. That name is then written upon the white tile. We keep the white tile as a reminder of our intention.
