Spirit United Emerging Through Presence, Practice, and Play
with Rev. Ron Moor
How do we align ourselves with the forces that are calling us to change? What does it take to bring about meaningful, positive growth? How much control do we have over our own destiny? What spiritual practices will support us as we seek to secure our new home? Right now we have more questions than answers, but there are teachings, old and new, that we can help light our way.
With inspirational quotes, luminous images, sacred chant, And updates on our search for a new home. Saleem Adam Wolter will lead us in a sacred dance of Universal peace.
"Even if you are on the right track,
you'll get run over if you just sit there."

LAST SUNDAY
January 10, 2016
Dancing with the Cosmos-An Introduction to Sacred Play
with Tom Vetter
Tom began by sharing an amazing video clip entitled -The Incredible Power Of Concentration - Miyoko Shida Rigolo. (Click here to view it.) which lead us to sacred play with the Cosmos. Tom explained the essence of sacred play is to connect with our center and express ourselves through our body and personality in our own unique way in what ever it is that we do. Sacred play is about experiencing our center by relaxing our resistance to truly express what is inside us. He encouraged us to think of an image of a star in the center of our heart and see our heart as a being the source of incredible love that flows through us in all that we do. This is very much worth listening to, so click here.

Numerology for the Year 2016  NINE is the Universal Year Number for 2016. The Universal Year Number is the single-digit number that represents the energy for everyone over the given year.
The number 9 promotes completion. It signal the time to wrap things up and bring them to a conclusion. 2016 is a time to consider what has not been working in your life and do things a little differently.
NINE is a finishing number and represents the end of a cycle. It is also the number of the humanitarian. That means 2016 is a year of completion, rest and forgiveness.
2016 is about endings. But with endings come new beginnings. It is out with the old and in with the new. Expect a lot of spiritual growth. More people will be looking to a higher power for knowledge, direction and wisdom. Release the things that need to be let go when it is time to release them. Holding on too hard or too long causes the energy of nine to be unpleasant. Let go. You will feel lighter. With the world under the influence of nine, everyone is being forced to be better. Focus on those who are positively changing the world, people who are kind, and those who are grieving. Resist the urge to be caught in disagreements, clash of egos, jealousy, rivalry, etc. Tolerance will carry you further. Remember: Completion, rest and forgiveness!

Healing Prayers
for
Illana Christyna Livstrom
Maria Turnblom sent out a plea for healing prayers for her daughter Illana. Illana is in Wilmington, NC, and is extremely ill.
She showed up for a typical day of teaching in the rural hills of NC. By mid-day she was violently vomiting non-stop, experiencing much nausea & excruciating pain. She collapsed unconscious and was brought to urgent care who sent her two hours away to the nearest hospital.
Maria indicated that it is very hard for her not be there with her daughter to ask the tough questions, advocate, and heal thru touch. She is very thankful that Illana's wonderful sweetheart Dennis has joined her certain he is a strong source of calming comfort and care giving.
Maria says, "Please add your healing prayers for Illana to mine. Thank you!"
Blessings,
Maria Turnblom
It is also important to know Illana is the sister of Jeshua Livstrom, the father of Celina, Annika and a very young brother who are part of Kids With Spirit. Annika adores her Auntie Illana.
