Soul Power!  What is your soul sharing with you?

“The science for transformation of life is called meditation. Through analysis, physical science reaches the atom and atomic power, but meditation reaches the soul and soul power.” ~Osho

The quote above gave way to a great mediation conference call tonight.

The latest and greatest for the community prayer call format for this Thursday, June 19th, 2014!

I am asking if you have a specific prayer request for the call to send it to me ahead of time up to 10 minutes before the call. 

Let me know:
1) Who the prayer is for, you, another person, organization et cetera.
2) What the specific prayer request is
3) What quality of God/Spirit/Source you desire to know in this prayer request.

Send me an email (darrelljonesspirit@gmail.com), Facebook message or post it on the event. If you want the request to be private let me know and I will simply pray forth the quality.

I will record the call so even if you can't make the call you can listen to it later, so you can still send in a request even if you can't make the call!

Finding Heaven Within...AKA Meditation

I am continuously humbled by the practice of meditation, how easy it is really to do, yet how hard I make it for myself.  I am grateful for conference call numbers.  I have started offering meditation conference calls and it is so wonderful once a week to meditate with others.  It holds me accountable to my practice and allows me to experience these words of Joel S. Goldsmith from Practicing the Presence .

"God is not found up in heaven--not in pilgrimages, places, or persons.  God is to be found within us.  The very moment that we can agree inwardly that this is true, we have accomplished half of our life's journey toward the experience of heaven on earth; the other half remains.  Now we know where the kingdom of God is, but how do we attain the realization of it?....Hundreds of books have been written on this subject, but those that have been written out of the depths of experience all agree that the presence of God can only be realized when the senses are stilled, when we have settled down into an atmosphere of expectancy, of hope, and faith.  In this state of relaxation and peace, we wait.  That is all we can do, just wait.  We cannot bring God to us for God is already here, in the inner stillness, in the quietness of confidence."

I hope you take a moment to sit and still your senses this week and listen and experience, the kingdom of God, heaven, the inner sanctuary of peace, hope and expectancy.

Love, Light & Laughter ~ Darrell

Spiritual But Not Religious….

…I have checked this box on surveys for years.  I am now a minister, but there is still a part of me that identifies with this "classification".

A colleague sent me this article, I pass it on to you, good read.

How do you identify yourself, your spirituality or religion?

Don't Worry About A Thing...

Is worrying good or bad for us?  In psychology it is said worrying is healthy when it causes us to take action or make decisions that promote our well-being, however, when worrying turns into an obsessive, paralyzing habit that is when it is toxic.

I am preparing for a talk in a few weeks titled "Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing", taken from the title of the Stevie Wonder classic.  Worrying is an age old pattern in our human experience, it  has been expressing for millennia.  As long as we can dream, wonder and create we can worry.  However as with most things I continue to explore in this life, everything is about relationship and communication.  To think we may end worrying in our lives we set ourselves up for failure, however, to admit that we have a worrying mind could set us free.  The challenge is in the next step, just because we worry about something doesn't make it so, however, if we worry about something long enough, we CAN definitely make it so.The creative tendency and faculty of this universe follows and creates in the direction of our attention, so where is your attention?  Worrying is giving attention, and powerful emotional attention to areas in our life.  Is worrying channeling your attention, focus and energy into action or immobilization?

I look forward to expand on this question in a few weeks and hope you can join me if you are in the Chicagoland area @ Abundant Life Spiritual Center on Sunday March 23rd 10:30 a.m. 375 Elm St, Deerfield, IL 60015

Two beautiful writings can inspire us in times of worry.  One from our brother Bob Marley "Don't worry, 'bout a thing, 'cause every little thing's gonna be alright" the other from Matthew 6 verses 25 - 34 in the Christian Bible, "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear....can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life?...Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin...So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own."It goes on to basically say, focus on today, today is more than enough living for right now.  I invite you to focus on today, where you actually are, take a moment to close your eyes a few times today and breath in and out slowly and become aware of where your attention is on your life.  Is your attention on what is before today or worrying about what may or may not happen tomorrow, or the next day.  Affirm to yourself, tomorrow will meet me then, right now I embrace today and live in this moment!I hope to see or hear from you soon!Love, Light & Laughter ~ Darrell
