Covid-19 And Spiritual/Religious Living

The Metaphysical Side of Pandemics

Be responsible to those you share this life with. At home, out in pubic, out in the world. Wear a Mask and get vaccinated!

What and how we think, creates our moments, day, week, month, year and life. If you approach the day with anger, in the end, you’re helping to create an angry world. Your attitude can be picked up by others, even people you don’t even know, and you can spread the anger, or hate, stress, fear etc. And the really sad part of this is, the one you will hurt the most, is YOU.

Everything in life has a component of Karma. Everything. Including a Pandemic. When an event occurs in the world that impacts billions of people, there’s no way to doubt the energy flowing through the ethereal around the world.

How many times have you participated in a holistic healing to send energy to far off areas to those in need? This isn’t any different really. Energy is energy and it flows around everyone in one way or the other. Continue reading →

New Moon Energy Reminder

The New Moon this month occurs on
Saturday, March 12th, 2021 at 05:21am EST.

My friend Rev. Lyn Williams sends out a reminder every month on FB to Write Your Abundance Check.

I think many of us could use this, so I’d like to share it with you. It’s a great way of putting your hopes, faith, dreams or desire for abundance into physical action.

Moon energy isn’t precise. Remember the original Pagan practitioners weren’t blessed with today’s technology and the U.S. Naval Observatory. Their calendars were originally based on a Lunar Calendar, which also wasn’t as accurate as the calendars we use today. So don’t let the technology and precision dampen your efforts to work with the energy of the Moon.

Typically Energy from the moon begins 3 days before the height of the phase and lasts for 3 days after. If the New Moon occurs at 12pm on Wednesday, the energy would begin 3 days prior on Sunday and will last until the Saturday after. Of course the closer to the height of the phase, the stronger the pull from the Moon on the Earth, so the stronger the energy is. But don’t panic if you missed that exact moment.

I love Rev. Lyn’s ritual, but I did change it a little to implement some Pagan specific perspectives. If you need some abundance in your life, give it a try. You’ll find the full step-by-step ritual here: Sunday Homily: Writing Your Abundance Check.

Enjoy the ritual!

2021 New Year’s Motto

Jan14

The Year Long Affirmation

If you’ve followed my blog for more than a year, you probably know I don’t make New Years Resolutions. Who keeps those self “promises” anyway? I’ve always thought of resolutions as goals that set you up to fail. Not as a positive way to start a new year.

My first motto was designed to do nothing more than get me through days of frustration at work. The experience proved to me, that the Motto idea was so much better than a Resolution. Because it’s there when you need it most.

I’m big on affirmations and that’s basically what the Annual Motto is. A yearly affirmation that’s there when you need to remind yourself that being Mindful of your thoughts will do you more good than not.

How you feel and think at a given moment, sets up your day, week, month, year and even your life. So why not help your thought process stay positive, when those tough situations come up during the year. This is the foundation of Mindfulness and it’s the easiest way to turn your thoughts around, when you’re facing challenges. Continue reading →

Letting Go Meditation

Oct17

Letting Go Of The Past & Forgiveness of Self

If you feel as though you’re carrying baggage around on your shoulders, your half way to letting go. In order to resolve issues or problems in your life, you must go through the process of Acknowledgment, Acceptance, Forgiveness, Action and Letting Go. Acknowledgment and acceptance is often the easy steps to getting rid of unwanted emotional baggage.

The forgiveness, action and letting go are the hard parts. But through inner reflection, counseling and meditation, you can learn to forgive and let go. Sometimes forgiving and letting go on a spiritual level can help you release the pain and emotional hurt you feel on a physical level as well. Keep in mind that “Forgiveness isn’t for the other person or situation, it’s for YOU and it’s about healing yourself.” Continue reading →

What is Meditation?
Prayer allows you to talk to the Divine and petition for assistance. Meditation allows you to become one with the Divine and discover the divine within your inner being.

Meditation has been practiced around the world in every known religion, from Buddhism to Christianity. Many people have meditated for spiritual communication, personal fulfillment, as a form of worship or just to relax and relieve stress. During this century western societies have begun to recognize the benefits of meditation.

There are numerous forms of meditation techniques around the world. If one doesn’t work for you, don’t get discouraged. Try another method. This is one of those things where you simply need to keep going until you find the method that works for you. The method I teach is usually called Free-Form, there’s no mantra, no drumming or specific stance or posture. There’s just you, your mind and learning to relax and go within yourself. If you’d like a step by step process for Free-Form Meditation, you can find my Learning To Meditate here on Reflections. Continue reading →

"Believe In Yourself, Even When No One Else Does."
~ Harvey McKay ~

“Take a chance on faith. Not religion, but faith.
Not hope, but faith.
I don’t believe in hope. Hope is a beggar.
Hope walks through the fire and Faith leaps over it.”
~ Jim Carrey ☆ 2014

“I describe myself as a simple Buddhist monk. No more, no less. And I am one of the seven billion human being. Basically we are the same… your emotion, my emotion, your mind, my mind.., same physical. So I always look [at it] that way. We are the same.”
~ Dalai Lama 2012 ~

"Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”
~ Bruce Lee 1971
