Todays sermon/ sacred spaces

10/25/2009



We all have a place were we go to find peace in our lives. As this can be a place in our mind our a place like an alter. I find this is a natural human need we all have and have experienced. When I give my clients guided meditations, I help them crate a place in there spirit that they call there sacred space as this is a place that they can go to calm down and recollect there thoughts. During this time I give them tasks like visualizing the stress of everyday life being washed away from them. This has become a successful way to give them a way of looking at things more clearly. In this I feel we all need to find this place as it is a essential tool to help us all. I see it defers from person to person as it is customized to the individual. For myself this is on both plans of existence. I have my alter and my inner sacred space as this seams to be effective for me. As we move from time to time it to has to move with us. This place can be what ever you want it to be. So I say onto you be creative.

Todays sermon/taking a chance

10/18/2009


In life we find we are given opportunities.

In some situations it comes at times we are in good spirits

and some situations it comes at times we are in bad spirits.

This can be a deciding factor in making life choices.

I find we make our choices to take the opportunity's given to us

based out of need for help, money and ETC.... This can become a bad thing for us when we make this choice out of need. This is not fair to us and becomes a nasty habit like smoking. We all have done this to some degree in our lives.

For me I smoke to deal with the stresses of my calling in life. Even now writing this sermon I am smoking as it is a stressful task to put my thoughts into words. None the less I progress. When we find this in our lives at the time of good spirits it seems to be a more difficult time to make the decision.

This can be because we are to some degree afraid it might take a tern for the worst.

In this I feel it is the right time to take the chance as it is gods/higher power's way of rewording us. Why the reword? What is it for? We do not know.

Life is a chance we take everyday, it is best to make our daily decisions, in good spirits as this will bring ever lasting rewards. So I say onto you maintain your faith.

Counting your blessings in life

Counting your blessings in life

I am sorry my sermon is late. It has taken me some more time this week.
To come up with the right one. I had over 3 deferent life paths to talk to you about this week.
One of them is about how we handle loss in our walk throw life. As this is todays topic.
Win I think of this I mack a connection with a universal truth. This is that we leave this
proses and go to the next with only the love we have and the wisdom have acquired
throw our life. Win we look at loss of people, places, pets, relationships, and things we
become so dependent on all of this in our lives. But most of all the people and pets.
Some people become so attached to those we love and hold deer to or harts.
It becomes unimaginable to see them go. Some times we forget it is only
by for now. In the end we all will be together reconnecting with
our loved ones. It is by this we shod calibrate the loss as it is only that
much moor we have to look forward to. It is in this process that god, mother nature
or the powers that bee mack room for moor to come in and blossom two.
As this is the month of October we look at the holiday of this month and it's
strong Hispanic roots. It was first known as the day of the dead for a resin.
In this we learn to celebrate the life of those we love that have passed
on before us. So in this I say onto you by calibrating the memory of that which we have
loosest we keep them alive within us.

Self Reflection

In life we find we are always and inevitably looking to

know what others are thinking about us, places, people,

and most of all If thy are on the same emotional level as us.

It is not something that gust happens to be.

We chose to think in this way.

Some of us do this in a small amount and some of us tack it to the extreme.

To a point that it becomes a driving force that consumes our vary being.

I myself have to a small amount as we all have.

In one way this is how we find pace in looking away from our selfs.

I find in life this can be something we learned at a

young age do to rejection from any one.

This cud also be do to many other circumstances.

But in the end as fare as the here and now.

We are choosing to keep thinking this way.

Because in some way it is like a security blanket for us.

Some times we let it get in the way of our own stability and will being.

Hurting our jobs, relationships, family's, and much more.

I find this is often fond as a problem that happens not only with this way of thinking.

For a explanation we can look at the facts.

some of us become so fare down this rabbet hole.

We begin to think that all of our life is blocked from moving forward or back.

letting one excuse after another provent us from becoming successful.

Can this be because we fear we are alone and don't have what it takes?

Or can this be because we don't fell we will have

someone to share it with and have the support we wont?

Is it really that simple as to always need that constant reassurance?

This is not vary enlightened. This I will tell you.

The more you tell yourself you cant the more you cant.

The more you say you can the more you can

This is what I call letting your problems git in the way of your blessings.

I know we can all do and achieve any thing we want in the literal since.

So in this I end todays sermon.

stop and think what you can do instead of what you can not do.
