2019 Monthly Reflections

July

This silent Sunday's attunement time invites us to meet in the dwelling place of being and receive the attunement current that is our surround. Like water to a fish, our surround is the energy of love. Resting in being helps us to remember.

Where does this dwelling place of being reside for you? Is there a place within your body that brings you to the stillness and aliveness of your essential self? We will explore this and in doing so, relieve the pressure experienced by so many of us, bringing us back to our Selves.

In communion,
Ann, Michele and Bonnie Jo 

June

We learn from one another when we take the risk to reach out through our vulnerability. Through a recently shared experience and a conversation afterward, the question arose of what does it mean to be there for one another? The shared impulse was to jump in the car and go and be with each other. When each of us paused, a deeper wisdom prevailed; in sharing the attunement field, we were in the fabric of one another's presence. Each of us was able to sink into that surround, and feel the accuracy of the choice.

During this Silent Sunday we invite a pause; a listening to the deeper wisdom that sits within the urgent questions that might want reactive response in your life.

With appreciation,
Ann, Bonnie Jo and Michele

Dear friends,

During the attunement circle on this Silent Sunday Michele, Bonnie Jo and I share the invitation to move into your heart space.

With Love,
Ann, Michele and Bonnie Jo

“There is a place in the heart where everything meets.
Go there if you want to find me.
Mind, senses, soul, eternity, all are there.
Are you there?

Enter the bowl of vastness that is the heart.
Give yourself to it with total abandon,
listen to the song that is always resonating there.

Quiet ecstasy is there -
and a steady, regal sense of resting in a perfect spot.

Once you know the way
the nature of attention will call you to return,
again and again, and be saturated with knowing,
“I belong here, I am at home here.”

The radiance sutras as translated by Lorin Roche

Hello Friends,

This silent Sunday morning we listen to that which is arising from within; that which is arising to meet us from the place of spirit. Putting lists and agenda's aside, drop a taproot into this beautiful earth. Let that taproot find it's way down to the crystal at the center of the earth, and wrap itself around that crystal. Come into a stillness of heart with breath. As we sit together in the attunement current of love, let your heart take courage to reach out to the fertile edges of possibility, consulting more widely and deeply with what is meeting you.

With appreciation,
Ann, Michele and Bonnie Jo

Happy Equinox!

Whether heading into the Spring or the Fall, here is the invitation as we meet in the attunement current Sunday morning:

She Let Go
by Rev. Safire Rose

She let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go.

She let go of the fear. She let go of the judgments. She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head. She let go of the committee of indecision within her. She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons. Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go.

She didn’t ask anyone for advice. She didn’t read a book on how to let go. She didn’t search the scriptures. She just let go. She let go of all of the memories that held her back. She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward. She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right.

She didn’t promise to let go. She didn’t journal about it. She didn’t write the projected date in her Day-Timer. She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper. She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope. She just let go.

She didn’t analyze whether she should let go. She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter. She didn’t do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment. She didn’t call the prayer line. She didn’t utter one word. She just let go.

No one was around when it happened. There was no applause or congratulations. No one thanked her or praised her. No one noticed a thing. Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.

There was no effort. There was no struggle. It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad. It was what it was, and it is just that.

In the space of letting go, she let it all be. A small smile came over her face. A light breeze blew through her. And the sun and the moon shone forevermore.

Blessings,
Ann, Bonnie Jo and Michele
