August 19, 2015
Greetings!
"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

August's Theme: The Practice of Saying "No"
|
 THIS 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.

 NEXT SUNDAY
10:30am-11:30am
Learning to say "No" and "Yes"
with guest speaker
Lyndall Johnson and guest musician Catherine Wilson  If we are to live from the heart and be of service to the world we need to maximize to what we say "yes" and "no" and most importantly, why we do so which requires deep insight and self reflection - and coming to really know ourselves.
Lyndall is presenting a workshop,
The Ego and the Spiritual Path, after the service. See below for more details.

LAST SUNDAY
August 16, 2015
Healing Service
 with Rev. Ron Moor, Experienced Healers, and
Harpist Bettie Seitzer
Bettie's beautiful harp enchanted our souls and enhanced the flow of energy while we engaged in healing. We had choice of healing modes from which to engage. Some chose to sit with a hands-on healer, while others walked the labyrinth created by Tom Vetter. Some bathed themselves in the quiet of our meditation room while others placed a prayer candle in the special altar created specifically for holding and releasing prayers. This was a beautiful day of releasing and shifting energy to bring love and light into ourselves and our world. We did not record this service because the majority of the service is silence and harp music. Please come to our next healing service to experience the gentle energy release and healing with us.

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.

As we spoke on Sunday and in honor of Sue Arnold as she walks her pilgrimage, we have scheduled the MOVIE NIGHT!
 Featuring...
The Way with Martin Sheen
Friday, September 11, 2015
7:00pm-10:00pm
$10.00 suggested donation
THE WAY is a powerful and inspirational story about family, friends and the challenges we face while navigating this ever-changing and complicated world.
Martin Sheen plays Tom, an irascible American doctor who comes to France to deal with the tragic loss of his son (played by Emilio Estevez, Sheen's eldest son). Rather than return home, Tom decides to embark on the historical pilgrimage "The Way of St. James" to honor his son's desire to finish the journey. What Tom doesn't plan on is the profound impact this trip will have on him.
Through unexpected and oftentimes amusing experiences along "The Way," Tom discovers the difference between "the life we live and the life we choose."
Emilio Estevez, the writer and director of this film, asked his father Martin Sheen to play the leading role in this project because he wanted to work together, father and son. He reported his amazement at his father's professionalism, tenacity and strength while they not only made this pilgrimage together but also created a visual work of art from which others can journey themselves.
