Touching the Stillness

Help is pouring into the Texas areas devastated by Hurricane Harvey, and grieving hearts are adjusting to the transition of beloved New Thought teacher Louise Hay. Taking pause, and standing in the presence of faith, we come together to create a space of stillness with prayer and remembrance.

We're not only here for a purpose, we're the called out ones being summoned in these times to lift up those around us, says episode special guest Rev. Sylvia Sumter, who also invites us into a 40-day practice designed to help amp up our wattage as bearers of the light.

Pondering our soul's purpose may seem pointless, if the current sociopolitical climate and global unrest has us feeling worn-out and world-weary. But, in this superb conversation between Rev. Paulette and Unity Online Radio host Janet Conner comes a reminder from Hebrew scripture of why it's worth pursuing our soul's deepest calling.

What if we were meant for more but we can't seem to rev up any passion for our purpose? That's the premise of this Take Two Remix episode with its guided meditation that provides a brief intermission to help us find our mission.

You're sitting in meditation but your mind is elsewhere; or you're feeling antsy and distracted. Do you throw in the towel and bolt for the door? Or do you, like our host did when she recently found herself unsettled during her monthly Day of Silence, sit with the pertinent question that can lead back to calm attentiveness?

Water, water everywhere ... at least in this episode where, with Rev. Paulette Pipe's direction, we experience oceans of blessings through an enchanting guided meditation and a series of defining affirmative prayers.

Regardless of whether or not you're someone who believes human actions/inactions are the cause of climate change, isn't it still worth looking after our planet? It is our home, after all. Join Rev. Paulette Pipe for a powerful meditation exercise to focus our attention on cultivating care for Mother Earth and to offer affirmative prayers for all her inhabitants.

Eavesdrop on a conversation with special guest Kenneth Soares, cofounder of PowerThoughts Meditation Club, to hear about the brain beats that were playing in our host's ear as she worked on untethering from her story earlier this year. And learn more, in this month's Take Two Remix episode, about how to use them in your own practice.

If you're in need of healing or renewal, take pause with us in a meditation designed to leave us "in the pink" of health. Or, if you're worried about the state of our worldwide communities, you'll surely feel a palpable vibrational shift in energy as, moved by a surge of Spirit, our host affirms a powerful and spirited prayer for the healing of our world, on our behalf.

We don't always need something to say or fill every quiet space to alleviate our discomfort with silence. Both the Thought of the Day and the alluring meditation in this Take Two Remix episode come with a gentle reminder of the gifts that come from silence when we hush and listen with attention and sacred intention.

With complete transparency and poignancy, our host has publicly divulged installments of her sacred saga of unexpected healing from a past trauma. In this final piece of the story, we discover the answer to a question she's often asked. Enquiring minds want to know, is there a book?

Our host experienced an unexpected healing when a decades-long story finally came to an abrupt end. In this next installment of her sacred saga, she reveals how she untethered herself from the old story that had her shackled to the gatepost of the past.

As an adult, our host noticed a pattern. If she pulled the thread of some emotional or psychological challenge, invariably, it would weave back to an experience that impacted her life for more than four decades. In this second installment of her sacred saga, she shares more of the story, and a powerful meditation designed to write new words on the pages of our own lives.

Our host has a story to tell. It begins with this prologue, recounting how a healing occurred as a result of her recent hiatus and brought to an abrupt end a painful saga that was more than four decades in the making.

This Take Two Remix episode for May takes another look at affirmative prayer. You're sure to be inspired by CSL spiritual practitioner and vocalist Lezli Goodwin as she shares her debut e-book of prayer; be heartened by songs from her forthcoming album; and encouraged by the healing, enthralling power of affirmative prayer treatments you'll hear spoken on your behalf.
