MEDITATION AT UNITY
At Unity we advocate developing a strong and regular spiritual practice to balance your spiritual life with everyday working commitments during the week. One of these practices is meditation. Meditation is a helpful skill and enduring way to align and balance yourself in preparation for the demands & stresses of daily commitments. It can also help in your efforts to be present for your family. This practical spiritual tool can help alieviate anxiety and bring peace, self knowledge and acceptance to you in all stages of your life.
Every Sunday at Unity of Boulder we offer a 9am MST Meditation & Satsang–a group contemplative meditation featuring Live Tibetan Singing Bowls performed by Norma Groverland and a spiritual message and guided meditation given by Jack Groverland.
This Week Jack’s Spiritual Message is Titled: “Life Healing Prayer”
Down through the ages prayer has been misunderstood And people worldwide have always wondered why the Universal One (God, Father, Lord, Creator, Jehovah, Krishna) to whom we pray answers so few prayers?
In short, it is because God isn’t separate from anyone and can never intervene in people’s lives, as say a caring person might respond to another person’s request for help. Responding to a person’s plea for help is something we all should do, but God doesn’t respond to pleas of any kind, for God has given the answer to every prayer before it was uttered by anyone, anywhere at any time.
In the Gospel of Matthew this Truth is stated by Jesus to all who would be his disciples.
Matthew 6:7
“When you are praying, do no heap up empty phrases like the Gentiles do; for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.”
God only reveals Himself in our lives when we surrender to His Love by becoming Love ourselves.
In The Attitude of Prayer, by Joel Goldsmith (pg. 21) it states:
“We must surrender our will to the divine will, and let the presence and power of God do with us as It will. We must surrender, if necessary, even our will to be healthy. We must surrender every personal desire, open ourselves completely, and open to our Father. As we yield ourselves to God, God will make us over in His image and likeness, which is the image and likeness of health, harmony, abundance, and joy.”
This Sunday at Unity of Boulder’s 9am MST Meditaiton & Satsang, we will study the elements of effective prayer. Don’t miss it! Â
