Episode: Law and Order According to Charles Fillmore, Original air date: Tuesday, July 26, 2011
Episode Description:
Law and Order is the theme of Charles Fillmore's talk from March 10, 1931. It is probably not anything like the current TV show of the same name, but Charles does speak to that physical connection of our bodies to our thoughts. My special guest is Rev. Brendalyn Batchelor from Unity Santa Fe in New Mexico.

Nada Saranagati Group Chanting & Meditation (Sound of Surrender) with PreetamDas Kirtana & Sparo
Thursdays at 7:00 pm
Influenced by the essence from various traditions, we work with the sacred sound current, or Naam, and begin to live from our heart instead of our head. With an emphasis on Nada Yoga, chanting sacred mantras, we attune our inner rhythm to the Divine, leading to relaxation, healing, heightened creativity and higher states of consciousness. And, ummmm, oh yeah, we also might complain less, be kinder to ourselves AND others, have random surges of gratitude, and on occasion, be given to smiling for no other reason except remembering how loved we all are. Namaste. Sat Nam Suggested Offering $10
