The Year of Our Relationships Every year our workshops have a common theme and this year we will weave a carpet of likes and dislikes, commitments and dissolutions throughout the Year of our Relationships. The Spring Equinox workshop explores the idea of restoring harmonious balance where there has been conflict. This workshop is called Never […]
Our quarterly workshops and celebrations are hosted in a enchanting garden, under a beautiful covered patio at a private residence in Oceanside. We love it there. Lucky for us, they have opened their backyard to the Word of the Month group (A.K.A. First-Sunday class). We will be meeting there on the first Sunday of each […]
I have always loved the mystical arts, but being an intuitive is an intense way to earn a living and I have had to learn to love what I do, and I do love it. Thank you for scheduling an appointment with me and giving me the best job in the Universe. I am humbled […]
This SiT-Cast was recorded on Sunday, September 1st. in Oceanside, CA. We talked about the word of the month from August, which was Creativity. The Saboteur of creativity is Conformity. Remember that creativity is not only about singing, painting and dancing, but rather it is about learning how to change when new ideas reveal themselves to you. You can design your spiritual practice in a creative way that fits you rather than conform to what other people say you should be doing. Be a free person!
Please enjoy the First Sunday recoding on creativity.
Silence is the absence of noise, not the absence of sound.
Noise and silence are both different types of sound. Just because your ears do not hear sound doesn’t mean it isn’t present. Sound is always present, and it is everywhere. We don’t have the capacity to hear every thought someone thinks or every breath that is drawn in, but sound is inherent in every motion that exists in the Universe. The journey of the Earth through space produces sounds that we may not hear and therefore we experience these sounds as silence, however, sound is everywhere, noise is not. The biggest difference between sound and noise is that sound pervades and noise invades.
We wear earphones to reduce noise, so that we may be able to enjoy the sounds of our choice. We tune out what some people are saying because it is just noise to our ears, and likewise, we may also strain to hear the meaning behind someone else’s words. Some words are like music to our ears, some words are noisy and rude, and still other words make us laugh or cry. Words are sounds that create change, they can make us speechless and silent or they can make us want to speak up.
The Word of the Month for September, 2019 is the word Silence. The saboteur of Silence is Noise. Silence is a key ingredient to meditation. You may have a quiet place meditate, but there can still be a lot of noise in your own mind once you sit down to rest. We must learn to find the silence within ourselves throughout the day, in order to heal our own minds, and to find a place where we can respond to whatever is in front of us instead of merely reacting. How do we access this space? Practice!
This podcast was recorded on Sunday, August 4th in Oceanside, Ca. We spoke about the word of the month for July, which was acceptance. The saboteur of acceptance is denial.
Remember that acceptance is not a condemning or condoning energy. It is an acceptance that this is what is on the table. It is where clarity and insight begins.
