Mystic Heart Spiritual Center is
|
Mystic Heart is a welcoming and accepting Spiritual Community that supports, promotes, and celebrates your growth in body, mind, and spirit. We are an Independent Interfaith Community, where people of all ages, races, creeds, ethnicities, sexualities, and abilities come together, not as groups separated by their differences, but as human beings celebrated for their individuality. We welcome all faith paths, philosophical points of view, and ways of life that acknowledge and honor the Divine, and support and uplift the growth and evolution of the planet and its beings. We see Evolution and Creation as two aspects of one process that is forever moving life forward, and we understand that each of us is an integral part of that process, leaving our direct imprint on the evolution of humanity.
February Message from the Rev.
In her book SQ21: The Twenty-One Skills of Spiritual Intelligence, Cindy Wigglesworth says that “It seems to be human nature to resist change as long as possible. We have been conditioned since the dawn of our species to seek safety and security and to preserve the way things are as long as possible.” This certainly appears to be the way human beings operate. But I think we’re letting ourselves off the hook if we chalk it (or anything else) up to ‘human nature’. We may have strong tendencies and poor habits at times, but we are capable of conscious and proactive change. And not just what author Gary Hamel calls trivial change, but real, Deep Change.
What is Deep Change? It is a profound, often uncomfortable, and permanent transformation in one’s thinking and behavior. It alters our fundamental, underlying patterns and requires us to let go of ways of seeing and being that no longer serve us, replacing them with more expansive and uplifting thoughts and behaviors. It has a lasting positive impact on our lives, creating a ripple of optimism and hopefulness that radiates out, we know not how far.
Our world is in the midst of some really big shifts right now. Deep Change is needed…and is happening, with or without our awareness, participation, or permission. So, how do we fully engage, bringing about Deep Change in our own lives, and moving Gracefully through the metamorphosis that is occurring on the planet? Join Mystic Heart every Sunday in February. Together we’ll ask, and maybe share our thoughts about, some big questions: What are the four stages of consciousness? What does it look like to say Yes? What are the ways we inadvertently say No? And what part does surrender play in making Deep Change in our lives?
Our Sunday Gatherings include: Taizé Meditation at 9:30, Conscious Conversations at 10:30 and Breaking Bread together at 11:45. You are most welcome to come for one part or to spend the whole morning
