On Healing and Wholeness

Last week saw the transition of New Thought icon Louise Hay.  For this month of September, as we celebrate the Power of Order, we honor Louise Hay with a series of articles on Wholeness.

In her first book, Heal Your Body, Louise writes:

"The point of power is in the present moment... right here and right now in our minds.  It doesn't matter how long we've had negative patterns, an illness, a rotten relationship, lack of finances, or self-hatred.  We can begin to make a change today."

Harnessing the power of the NOW moment in your life is the key to transformation - the foundation for a true, lasting healing experience.  I invite you to affirm for yourself this week:

"I AM aligned, here and now, with the perfect Order of the Universe.  I am in the Flow of Life.  My body is an expression of the Divine: perfect circulation, perfect digestion, effortless respiration.  I am in tune with God; I am whole and well."

Remember, dear friends, peace (of mind and body) begins with you.  I invite us to continue holding the individuals and families affected by Hurricane Harvey in prayer.  We are united in Divine Love, and that Love is expressed beautifully in the hearts and hands of those who are working together for those who have been displaced.

Here are a few ways you can help in the hurricane relief effort:
  • Donate to the Red Cross: redcross.org (or text "HARVEY" to 90999 on your mobile device);
  • Reach out with a generous love offering to AmeriCares.
Unity of Columbus is a loving community - we look forward to seeing you this Sunday!

In Spirit ,

Daryn L. Wells
Editor In-Chief

            


"And he said unto her, Daughter, your faith has made you whole; go in peace, and be whole of your disease."  ~ Mark 5:34 (KJV 2000)
The Spiritual Snippet

In preparation for our World Day of Prayer next Thursday, for the Spiritual Snippet this week, we offer this video meditation from Silent Unity.  Affirm silently for yourself: "I AM the power of Peace expressed in my thoughts, words, and actions."

The Light of Unity


"We are learning that we need to take time each day to go apart and arouse the powers and possibilities of our inner nature through prayer.
"It is well to establish the habit of prayer by meditating at the same time each day.  This helps bring order into the prayer practice.  If we leave this important period of the day until everything else is accomplished we are apt to neglect it."


May Rowland,
Director of Silent Unity
1916-1971

About Process Painting:

Process painting is a tool for mindfulness and self-discovery that is facilitated in a safe, non-judgmental environment.  Free from comparison and critique, we embark on a boundless journey into the unknown, with the focus placed on the experience rather than the finished product.  There are no mistakes, and no painting experience is necessary.  

We recognize that every person is a creative being with unlimited potential and that when we show up and tap into that creativity, our unique expressions emerge naturally.  While this is not art therapy in the traditional sense, the process itself can be therapeutic. 

Participants speak of a deeper connection to themselves and a greater acceptance of their experiences.  The process is healing on many levels. 

Being open to growth and facing one's fears leads to joy and a sense of accomplishment.

About the Facilitator:

Jenny Hahn earned a BFA in illustration from the Kansas City Art Institute and exhibits out of her studio in Kansas City's Crossroads Arts District.  She has practiced process painting since 1999, mentoring under Sarah Oblinger of Paint Or Die/Studio Exanimo.  In 2005 she opened Breathing Color Studio out of her home, and in 2011 co-founded Creative Nectar Studio with Stephanie Gray.  Jenny has studied insight meditation (Buddhist Vipassana) under the guidance of dharma teacher Robert Brumet since 2000 and weaves the mindfulness teachings and gentle body awareness into her workshop facilitation.  She is also an occasional yoga instructor and a founding member of the Unity Artist Coalition at Unity Village, MO.  View her paintings at www.jenspaintings.com.

Why paint for process?

  • Discover more about oneself
  • Learn a tool for mindfulness
  • Awaken creative thinking
  • Develop self-acceptance
  • Feel the synergy of painting in community
  • Develop confidence by working through blocks
  • Awaken childlike spontaneity
  • Develop an inner stillness and focus

  • Come alive through play!

Parents: We will offer a 
Children's Painting Workshop  
during this event, facilitated by our Children's/Youth Ministry Coordinator,  Rev. Ty Vinson!  Parents may register their youngsters to participate in this creative process, at $5.00 per child.   We will have a sign-up sheet available this Sunday!
