The Gospel According to The Beatles
Part One: Let It Be
This Sunday, and throughout the month of August, we will be exploring The Gospel According to The Beatles. This is a fun uplifting series that will be supported by Beatles songs performed by our music team.
The Beatles had an enormous influence on our culture and lives for decades. Their music continues to inspire young and old to this day. Author Steven Turner wrote that The Beatles’ Gospel is one of love, peace, personal freedom, and the search for transcendence. That sounds a lot like The Gospel According to Jesus.
We begin our series with our sound man Larry, leading us in a soulful rendition of "Let It Be," a song written by Paul McCartney about his mother’s loving
influence on his life.
We know the spiritual practice behind "Let It Be" is to Let Go and Let God. "Let It Be" reminds us of this spiritual practice, and allows us to see that everything is already in Divine Order. As we let go, we allow space for God’s plan to unfold. There is no need to push the river. Yes, we are called to pray and move our feet, so there is also a time to let go, trust, and Let It Be.
Join us this Sunday and through the month of August as we sing, celebrate, contemplate and practice the wisdom of The Beatles music and lives.
This Sunday our music team will perform three Beatles songs:
"All You Need is Love" • "Let it Be" • "Good Day Sunshine"
With Love From Me to You,
Rev Bodhi

Combining his wisdom of metaphysics, meditation, intuition, and spirituality, Bodhi offers his whole self in the service of awakening. The holistic practices of Kundalini Yoga are by far the quickest way to help another to heal, transform and awaken.
With exercises that help the body to become more fit, breathwork that helps the mind become more alert, and meditation to elevate the spirit, Kundalini Yoga is a transformational practice.

A Course in Miracles:
Foundation for Inner Peace
A Course in Miracles defines "miracle" as the conscious choice to make that mind shift.
A Course in Miracles' purpose is to guide us to a state of deep peace, no matter what experiences we go through.
This book teaches us how to trade Fear for Love, Peace, and Joy and to tap into the guidance and wisdom of our spirit. Its major focus, unlike other spiritual practices, is on healing relationships. This approach is the fastest way to heal body, mind, and heart,
resulting in a life of fulfillment.
This famous spiritual text is studied by many of the greatest spiritual leaders in the world today, including Eckhart Tolle, Marianne Willamson, Oprah Winfrey, Deepak Chopra,
and the late Dr. Wayne Dyer.
Please join Elena Sher every 4th Sunday at 9:00 am in God's Garage at Unity of Jupiter, and keep an eye open on Unity of Jupiter's Facebook for live streaming!
With over 20 years studying and teaching A Course in Miracles, Elena is also:
Certified in Hypnotherapy for Weight Loss, NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming) 2020 and Emotional Freedom Technique
Certified Health Coach and Life Coach - The Health Coach
Institute 2017
Certified Alternative Wellness Coach - FICAM Florida Institute for Alternative Medicine 2008

What is Spiritual Inspired Counseling?
Spiritually Inspired Counseling is counseling that begins where we are, heals what is blocking us, and guides us into Truth as whole, vital, and empowered beings. It is recognizing the challenges of the human condition and understanding that the truth of each individual is perfection. The challenges of the human condition are the fuel that provides the energy to return to where we began as whole beings. The work is the journey of progress to wholeness which includes happiness, creativity, harmony, empowerment, peace, and love. Spiritual Counseling sets the stage for miracles to occur in our lives.
Why Spiritual Inspired Counseling?
Sometimes we need more than the diagnosis of well-intentioned practitioners with predetermined concepts of illness to help us heal. Sometimes we need more than another prescription to help balance our lives. Spiritual Counseling offers a holistic approach where the body, mind, and spirit get to do the teaching. When we can focus and center ourselves enough to see what is really within us, what is untrue falls away and we find wholeness, peace, clarity, and fun. Through spiritual practices such as introspection, prayer, meditation, yoga, chant, service, and Truth, one finds themselves again. Here we have an opportunity to co-create our lives with the power of Divine Source.
Finding oneself again is just the beginning. Once we have done that it is time to create the life you want to live. Spiritually Inspired Counseling applies visioning techniques that bring out your heart's desires.
There is so much more to life than what meets the eye. Life itself provides us with all the tools and inspiration we need to discover our true selves. Inspired by the process of recovery, meditation, yoga, service, and compassion, I discovered the power of spirituality in my life and in the world. This guidance has lead me to help guide others into whole-hearted living.
There is a Power that is not only available to us but I believe is already within us that is our wholeness and perfection. Through Spiritual Counseling, we discover this Spirit and step into a new way of being that is our birthright: Balanced, Empowered, and Whole!
Inspired by Christ Consciousness, Unity Teachings, Buddhist Meditation Practices, Yogic Philosophies, and Universal Truth, Rev. Bodhi brings years of practice to others.
Set an appointment with Rev. Bodhi to get yourself back on the track of inspired and whole-hearted living.
If you are a member of Unity of Jupiter, Rev Bodhi offers spiritual counseling on a love-offering basis, which means you get to determine the value of the session and give accordingly.
A $100 donation is suggested for non-members.
