Each Spa Day I attend touches my heart in a different way. This one asked me to trust God and open to God more fully, knowing that God is already my partner. Right from the start I heard myself praying I would open up even if it would be just a little more fully. My mind kept wanting me to think of things, to worry, and to fall back on my perennial concern, that “not one Soul will be lost,” as John-Roger teaches, except me of course.
Facilitators, Stu and Candace Semigran, long time Educare and Insight facilitators with lots of experience in working with folks to assist them in opening their hearts, brought home one of the most powerful keys I know of to lift me out of my own doubts, fears, and misunderstandings–Gratitude. As I stewed in my worries, I remembered–Gratitude. Yes, gratitude has lifted me many times into a place of warm, glowing acknowledgment that my life is full of things for which to be grateful.
And Spa Day began to work on me! I’m grateful to be working and living at Peace Awareness Labyrinth and Gardens. I love my job, and my heart opens on a daily basis as I introduce people to the gardens, the labyrinth, and the teachings John-Roger has given us. My heart is stirring as I scan my life to acknowledge even more things I’m grateful for–my health, my husband, my spiritual focus, John-Roger, John Morton, and all the wonderful people I work with on a daily basis.
As we listen to the Breathing Meditation from the Momentum: Letting Love Lead CD, I get a glimpse of being in the now, with no thoughts, no worries, no concerns that I’ll be left behind. What a gift. Next comes J-R’s
As we listen to the Breathing Meditation from the Meditation of Perfect Balance. And I realize all is well in this one’s heart. All is gone from this one’s mind. This one is at peace.
Brunch is just the best once again. Fresh Mandarin orange poppy seed salad, delicious bread salad, fluffy eggs, crispy breakfast potatoes and Elaine Kitchell’s now (in)famous signature baked French toast with apples and cranberries. Urth Caff
