In preparation for our prayer and meditation time, we conclude this month-long exploration of spirituality at work by taking a page out of the book of the biblical character, Mary, who sat at the Jesus' feet ... leaving her sister Martha in a bit of stew in the kitchen.

She recovered from cancer; buried a son; healed a marriage; and created a successful international training business. It is evident from the assured energy she exudes that todays guest, Kris King, author and founder/CEO of the Wings Seminars, trusts and connects with something deep within to make her heart soar and find joy in the face of adversity

As a follow-up to last weeks program, Rev. Paulette Pipe expands the notion of spiritualizing our work by bringing the practice of prayer and meditation to whatever work we are called to do. Hear how a dedicated practice and an affirmative attitude can either transform the job or allow the job to transform you!

If "it's all a prayer," as our host Rev. Paulette Pipe maintains, then what place is there for prayer and meditation in the workplace? In preparation for our time of prayer and meditation on the air today, she speaks with a fellow Unity Village co-worker about how he brings his practice to work.

If our lives are out of control and too hot to handle, then some self-care preliminaries need to be in place before we can even think about meditating-so says author, Debrena Jackson Gandy, our guest on today's program. Tune in to hear her take on self-care and meditation and then stay connected for cooling meditation and heartwarming prayers with Rev. Paulette Pipe.

Not able to meditate alone? Ever thought about joining a group? Listen in to hear how one woman set up a meditation group in her home nine years ago that is still going strong and how the objective is to expose the group to various styles of meditation to help individuals discover what form of meditation speaks to them so that they can delve deeper into their practice.

When we are holding someone in an unforgiven state, whether in mind or heart, it can wreak havoc on our personal psyche, our health and our emotions.

Then stay tuned as Rev. Paulette Pipe leads a powerful forgiveness meditation before facilitating a time of affirmative prayer.

At a time when so much focus is on lack, insufficiency and poverty talk, we are blessed to be able to take refuge in soul-stirring, soul-satisfying meditation and prayer to buttress our spirits against the otherwise demoralizing negativity of the current culture. Participate with Rev. Paulette Pipe in this interactive time of prayer and meditation and let your soul be satisfied.

Hear how special guest, Unity minister Rev. Robert Brumet, makes that itchy-nose and numb-rump part of the meditation, using insight meditation, as his practice of choice. And stay tuned for faith-restoring affirmative prayer by Rev. Paulette Pipe.

Sometimes its not just thoughts that buzz around in our mind to distract us from our practice. In preparation for this weeks time of prayer and meditation, Rev. Paulette Pipe shares another excerpt from her 40-day Silent Retreat journal on how she battled her fears and stayed put in her practice, when what she really wanted to do was run like the wind.

How do you know the guidance you receive in meditation is not bogus and misdirected? Is it an authentic prompt or wishful thinking of a wistful mind? Join Rev. Paulette Pipe as she explores these questions on following authentic guidance as we prepare for this weeks time of meditation and prayer.
