“CELEBRATING A WORLD HEALED THROUGH SPIRITUAL AWAKENING & CONNECTION!” |

What Happened & Where Are We Now?
This Sunday I will have a dialogue with the professional D2 Counseling Group. We all understand the importance of mental health, i.e, maintain our sanity! What we don’t always know is the best way to do just that.
Putting our Unity principles into practice involves the power of thought and how we are shaping our own reality. Often we say "co-creating with God." This can be a challenge as we are all members of the world community. Mental health professionals are agreeing that we have experienced a collective trauma whether we are aware of it or not.
How did you show up in this trauma? How did you walk through it? How did you cope?
We humans are known for our resiliency. We have walked through catastrophic weather events, indiscriminate plagues, unthinkable genocides, horrific natural disasters and a world pandemic.
Some of us banded together and others separated. Some of us obsessively immersed ourselves in media. Others turned off the news. Some of us turned outward for answers and others turned inward. Some of us earnestly prayed while others turned their backs to their Higher Power.
What did you do and how are you moving forward?
Are there questions you would like to ask professionals who are helping others every day in this important area? Not only will we address this on Sunday, but after we enjoy a break with light refreshments following the service, from 12:30 – 1:30, I will host a Q&A which will give us a chance to dive deeper into mental fitness.
The World is ready for all of us to show up in our highest and best! See you Sunday!
Let’s Thrive,
Rev. James
