Watering Whole

This is a quick and easy meditation for grounding and centering. It can be done any time anywhere. It is a good meditation for getting your day going, and it is especially useful when you feel stressed, challenged by a particular person or event. I move you through it slowly here, but once you learn the technique of drawing up Earth energy on your inhale, and drawing down Sky energy with your exhale, it can be done with the natural rhythm of your breath as needed throughout your day.

This meditation opens and activates your chakras bringing harmony and balance by invoking and integrating both divine feminine and sacred masculine energies within.

In the midst of the the holiday rush take a moment to pause, hear a poem and share in a blessing!

This episode is based on a sermon Mary gave at Tree of Life Community in Dayton, Ohio on the effects of technology and distraction on intimacy and friendship.  In this episode she touches on the gifts of friendship and intimacy and how the depth of such connections is threatened by our over-use of technology and the distractions associated with being connected 24/7.  In one of his poems Hafiz asks, "How can I be more loving? How Can I be more kind?"  It might be as simple as putting down your phone and giving your full attention to the person you are actually with in this moment!  Listen in for inspiration and encouragement to cultivate intimacy with self, others, and Nature as a way to enhance our connection with Life itself.  And this week, invite someone dangerous to tea!

This episode comes from a sermon given at Tree of Life Community in Dayton, Ohio, by Mary H. Reaman.  In it she talks about the power of longing that we so often try to satisfy with superficial things rather than listening to it, following it, and trusting that it is our longing that can lead us to meaning and purpose as well as the key to discovering the unity at the heart of Life. 

Compassion is often thought of as something sappy and sentimental, but if sincerely practiced it can be an authentic way to healing the fragmentation in ourselves, in our relationships, and in the world.  Today's episode invites thoughtful reflection on what compassion actually involves, ways to access it, and practice it.  So listen in and get a real spiritual workout!
