It’s a hot sunny day, yet quite beautiful I must say. Once again I find myself at Peace Awareness Labyrinth and Gardens ready for another of their engaging and wonderful Spiritual Spa Days. Each month has a new and different theme to pursue in the area of who I am as a Soul. I love finding out new and different ways of living my life in a greater way with greater happiness, joy and loving. Today I have brought along a guest who is interested in this lovely event. So it’s time to relax, enjoy, and embrace the blessings of Spirit that are present — right here, right now.
The participants are gathering in the Large Seminar Room, and as we start to quiet down, MC, Carole Austin gives a brief introduction and introduces Kevin McMillan and Zoe Golightly who are our facilitators today.
Zoe calls us forward with a Light invocation followed by chanting an ancient word and sound of God – Hu. Next, we listen to an audio excerpt by John-Roger DSS, founder of the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness (MSIA). During the excerpt we are directed in a breathing exercise, getting to know and experience the flow of Spirit in a natural state.
Kevin then addresses the group about our day, and polls the room for examples of what people came expecting to experience today. Many of the answers include peace, calm, joy, laughter, fun, harmony, Spirit, power, creativity, and more. Kevin then uses story boards with different words and categories to display examples of emotions or mental qualities. The participants are quite amused. Kevin then asks participants to act out these examples. This is a lot of fun because we really get to see how funny these states can be.
Zoe then shares an example of how she sees the power within herself. Zoe describes the power within as a river, water that has a natural built-in flow of energy. Many of us get the idea of that example of letting go and letting it flow. Zoe then shares an example of when she is on course versus off course. Following this example, Zoe reads a written excerpt from John-Roger’s book, The Power Within You , which is the basis for today’s theme.
The process of forgiveness is introduced by Kevin and he gives examples of what that might look like as he demonstrates the partner exercise we are about to do. Each person is given time to experience forgiveness, and then the group shares their experiences.
Next up, brunch! Oh boy! Yummy ,Yummy. I was bragging so much about how delicious the Spa Day brunches are and the guest I brought was amazed at how beautiful, delicious, and well prepared the food is. We are enjoying Mixed Greens with the specialty house dressing created by our wonderful French Chefs, Claudie and Guillume Bott
