"Life is Sweet"
Rev. Dr. Trish Hall
~ ~ ~
Embrace the abundance within us and all around us! It's time to cultivate an abundance of consciousness and unlock the limitless possibilities that await.
Abundance shows up in a plethora of ways. When we believe in our worthiness and the abundance surrounding us, we attract more positive experiences and opportunities into our lives.

"Dare to BE Abundance"
Greg Coyle, RScP
"You are one with the Creative Genius of the Universe. Allow abundance to flow freely through you."
-This Thing Called You
~ ~ ~
What would it feel like to allow the fullness of life’s abundance to flow through you? Holmes encourages us to recognize our deep connection to the creative energy of the Universe. In embracing this truth, we open ourselves to receive more joy, prosperity,
and inspiration. Let’s allow this creative power to express freely in every area of our lives, knowing that abundance is not only available but natural.
Do you have the courage to live an authentic life, in which you write your own story, and live in the over flow? What does that look like? If you are not living it, then how do you get there? Join the discussion, and learn some practical tools to make it happen today.

“ How Are We to Heal the Wounds of Our Polarized Society?”
Rev. Dr. Trish Hall
"We are all human beings; we are all rooted in the One Life. Let us learn to be tolerant and kind."
- The Science of Mind
~ ~ ~
Ernest Holmes speaks to the importance of tolerance and kindness as foundational principles. He reminds us that regardless of our differences, we all share a common humanity and divine essence. This message is particularly resonant in times of division,
calling us to seek understanding and compassion over separation.
No matter the outcome of the election, there will be those who are puffed up from the win and those who will be experiencing a range of other emotions. We who embrace Oneness have a responsibility to be “healers of relationships” and the prospect of how to go about that feels a bit overwhelming. Together we can reveal boundless possibilities. Please join the conversation in person and on Zoom. We need everyone’s input.

“Dance as though no one is watching”
10:00 AM EDT
Rev. Dr. Trish Hall
"We should learn to let go of all discord and simply allow ourselves to be in rhythm with the Universe."
-Living the Science of Mind
~ ~ ~
Ernest Holmes encourages a life in harmony with the Universe, which could be likened to moving with the natural "dance" of existence. To Holmes, embracing this rhythm means letting go of struggle and moving gracefully with the flow of life’s energy.
If you thought no one was watching, how courageous would you be? Self-consciousness is vastly different from consciousness of self. Self-consciousness focuses outside to determine self-worth. Consciousness of self looks inward to our Divine Essence, the source of our power and courage. How bold would you be if you knew no one was watching? … if you knew you couldn’t fail or be rejected?

An opportunity to connect, meditate, and pray. Weekday mornings from 8:00 to 8:45 AM on Zoom. A daily meditation practice has been proven to benefit all levels of our human experience. We connect, meditate, and pray. It’s a grand way to start your day.
Sunday Centering
Every Sunday from 9:15 to 9:45 AM we open to divine guidance using meditation and visioning. This weekly meditation is perfect to revitalize your sense of connection with Spirit within you. It’s a powerful way to anchor your week in peace, joy, and harmony.
Our First Sunday Meditation with Himalayan Bowls is on hold until we are able to return to in-person meetings. In this rich sensory experience, depths of meditation not accessed in other circumstances are reached. No experience is required. Just bring yourself into this wonder-filled and powerfully healing experience.
World Healing Meditation
Every December 31st, join millions of people across the seven continents of all religious faiths and philosophies as we participate simultaneously on the morning of December 31st in healing the world and bringing forth sustainable peace. We will begin the meditation at precisely the same moment that others all around the world are starting to meditate and pray in the ways of their own traditions. We each affirm peace and commit to doing our part to heal the world. It is truly an amazing experience when we sense the consciousness, the presence, of hundreds of millions of people sharing the hour with us!

Greetings …
I know that today is the 13th and we are traveling in Brazil and I won’t have Wi-Fi tomorrow, so you get this one a day early.
Today I invite everyone to join me in a “Oneness Practice”
Simplistically, “oneness includes everything,” however, “everything” tends to be a subjective term. Embracing Oneness as a spiritual practice, opening “everything” to truly include everything requires that we adopt a practice of expanding our concept of everything daily.. Such expansion can seem overwhelming. How can we embrace all the hardship of dealing with natural disasters, the terror of wars, the challenges of climate change, the need to reveal ways to address starvation, draughts and water pollution, and the intense need to stop what seems like ever-present domestic violence, and the list goes on? Embracing Oneness is the only way we can expand our consciousness of our inseparability from all that is happening yet remain resilient so that we can do our part to change the world for good. Our parts in this shift are as unique as each of us. Our doing may show up onsite to help or it may be to help strengthen and support those who work onsite around the world or it may be any of myriad expressions of doing and the one doing that we are all called to do is PRAY – to know the Truth beyond the experiences on the human level – to bring about a realization of “Heaven on Earth.”
The practice …
There is only One Source. That Source is God, equally present everywhere, the Creator of everything seen and unseen - the Absolute.
Hesitate to sense the Allness – the numinous – that which is beyond words.
There is only One Life. The Life of all is the Life of God experienced by each individual expression of God.
Hesitate to feel Life surging within you, causing you to be.
Declare the Allness of Life on behalf of all - know that the Truth of your relationship with the Creator is the Truth of everyone’s relationship with the Source.
Hesitate – observe Life as everything seen and unseen – Lie equally present in and as what is.
Remember and know that every situation is pure Divine Potentiality. Within every circumstance, Divine Possibility exists.
Hesitate – inquire deep within: What is waiting to be recognized and manifest? See it! Feel it! Know it!
Ask: How am I to be with this knowing? What is mine to do?
Know: The actions of each individual come together as the unstoppable power of Love.
Now … Answer this heart call!
Be It, consciously in expression! Consistently do what is yours to do!
We are the change-makers … transformative forces changing the world for good!
In Oneness as Love and Peace,
Trish
