NEXT SUNDAY  Mystery School Sunday August 23, 2015
10:30am-11:30am
The Spiritual Practice of Saying NO!
with Rev. Ron Moor
One of the ongoing mysteries of our species is how we came to be humans. How is it we have all the abilities we have, all necessary to be who we have become and who we are becoming. There is a clue in the very earliest written myth of human kind, a myth that predates anything in the Old Testament by well over a thousand years. It seems that the ability to say "Yes" and "No" are equally necessary, and equally crucial. In our Mystery School Sunday we will explore this ancient myth as we call in the capacity to say "No" when we need to say "No", and with what we now need to say "No". Presented with sacred chant, luminous images and inspirational quotes.
"The unwavering truth is that when we agree to any demand, request, or condition that is contrary to our soul's nature, the cost is that precious life force is drained off our core. Despite the seeming rewards of compliance, our souls grow weary by engaging in activities that are inherently against their nature." ~Mark Nepo

LAST  SUNDAY
August 9, 2015
Share Your Gifts Robert Dunn,
Master of Ceremony
Members of our community shared their talent with us. The day was filled with magic. Those who said "yes" to the call to share gave fully of themselves. Those said "yes" to being a supportive witness saw incredible beauty. Our Spirit United is very, very rich indeed. No recording was made.

Energetic Alignments
1520 South Timber Ridge NE
Fridley, MN 55432 
here or call 763-571-9437
We will continue to deepen our familiarity and capabilities in perceiving and clearing both our astral and etheric bodies, based on a system begun by Leo Bostwick and developed by John Friedlander and Gloria Hemsher. (We will explore the Mental/Causal and Buddhic Planes as well.)
Friday evening will be a review of the basic skills, an in-depth astral/personal aura clearing, and an opportunity to ask questions. It will be an experiential introduction to this system for personal grounding and aura healing.
Throughout the weekend we will build skill in our clairvoyant perceptions as we explore the interplay and interdependence of the astral and etheric energies as they move into and through our everyday life. Some areas we will explore together are:
- Male and female grounding
- Astral personal aura clearing
- Etheric chakra and aura clearing; Etheric grounding
- Reading energies
- Matching pictures: the profound depth of healing across time
- Hello: a sublime and powerful healing ability
- Driving energies: how to deepen our ability to perceive and work with "outside of the aura" energies and thought forms that drive ours and others' behavior
- The Microcosmic Orbit: balancing and healing the meridians
- The Inner Smile/Six Healing Sounds
- The Mental, Emotional and Physical permanent seeds and their interplay
Gloria was born in NJ and grew up in Delray Beach, FL. Being psychically sensitive as a child and raised in a home where clairvoyance was the norm, she had many fascinating spiritual experiences while growing up. After moving to Gainesville, FL in the early 70's, Gloria began structured study in meditation, living for several years in an ashram. Over the next 10 years she worked as a professional photographer, managed a media production center, and taught photography at the local community college. After moving to Cincinnati and completing John Friedlander's psychic awareness courses and years of personal work with John, Gloria co-authored two books: Basic Psychic Development: A User's Guide to Auras, Chakras and Clairvoyance in 1997; and Psychic Psychology: Energy Skills for Life and Relationships in 2011. Gloria is available for private readings, phone classes and seminars. She currently lives in Boston with her husband. You can contact her from her website by clicking here.

7 Simple Ways To Say "No"
(To Say "Yes" to Life)
1. "I can't commit to this as I have other priorities at the moment."
2. "Now's not a good time as I'm in the middle of something. How about we reconnect at X time?"
3. "I'd love to do this, but ..."
4. "Let me think about it first and I'll get back to you." 5. "This doesn't meet my needs now but I'll be sure to keep you in mind."
6. "I'm not the best person to help on this. Why don't you try X?"
7. "No, I can't."
