Gather the Women for Meditation & Prayer via TeleConference
January 8-January 26.
We can do it ALL! We can heal our minds, love our bodies and bring waves of compassion and peace to the Earth.
During these times of violence to our Mother Earth—as men war, as children go hungry, and as people in power kill off their brothers, Let us be a strawberry plant for peace and love.
“Strawberry plants send out runners in all directions, and wherever these viney outgrowths touch down, a new plant can grow. Every women’s circle is like a strawberry plant, and any woman in one can get enthusiastic, tell others and plant the idea, and another circle forms, and so on until the field is filled with strawberry plants or the world is filled with women’s circles.”
In her book, Urgent Message from Mother—GATHER the WOMEN, SAVE the WORLD, Jean Shinoda Bolen reaches out to us as women! Archbishop Desmond Tutu, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize says, “Our earth home and all forms of life in it are at grave risk. We men have had our turn and made a proper mess of things. We need women to save us. I pray that many will read Bolen’s work and be inspired then to act appropriately. Time is running out!”This January we’ll focus our meditations on opening our hearts to greater compassion for ourselves, our bodies and the earth. We’ll join with other women’s circles around the globe to make a difference. Our minds are powerful. As we focus daily on the intention for peace and love, we can influence the world. As we come into greater love for our own bodies, we heal the ignorance and fear that is at the bottom of greed, violence and destruction of our beautiful Earth and her peoples.
Let us be a strawberry plant for peace and love.
I want to use our meditation series this month to be part of a global movement of men and especially women who are working to bring peace and healing to our earth. We will align the power of our meditation and prayer to heal the split between mind and heart, and in so doing, offer our hearts to the great Archetypal Mother, our Mother Earth who is badly in need of our compassion and love.
In 2002, at the Global Peace Initiative of Women Religious and Spiritual Leaders conference in Geneva, sponsored by the United Nations, the Gandhi-King Peace Award was given to Amma, known as the hugging guru. Upon accepting this award, Amma said, “With the power of motherhood within her, a woman can influence the entire world. The love of awakened motherhood is a love and compassion felt not only toward one’s own children, but toward all people, animals and plants, rocks and rivers—a love extended to all beings.”
We will work to continue to align ourselves with the Divine energy of love, to embrace all parts of ourselves, to heal the war inside of us, to learn to bring peace within AND in so doing we will simultaneously be working to send peace and love to our bodies, our earth and heal political, social and environmental unrest. It has been said that one person’s peaceful intent can impact many. So, we will work behind the scenes to invoke the power of the Divine to send love to “all people, animals and plants, rocks and rivers—a love extended to all beings.”
This is an invitation to join the circle of women who are working for peace on earth. Join me in January as we continue to open our hearts to greater love, increasing awareness of the Divine as it operates through the day-to-day details of our lives, embraces our bodies with love, and guides us gently towards right action.

I found the worsksheets you sent VERY HELPFUL. I loved your interpretations of the principles . I also like the quotes, but I think my favorite part were the Journal questions. Both from the fragmented mind and from the heart. I had some deep stuff come up with
those questions!! It was great and I look forward to
more!!! Christie Wilson, Plano TX.
Your handouts with inspired quotes combined with your thoughts/wisdom on the topic offered so much insight that greatly assisted me. Also - having the playback feature was most helpful. And your insight into how shifting consciousness helps with eating issues was of tremendous benefit. As you can see MUCH was helpful! Linda M. (Meriden, CT)

Meditate via TeleConference
November 20-December 16.
We’ll focus our meditations on opening the heart to greater intimacy, honesty and aliveness.
A student in my professional’s class asked me to explain what I meant by aliveness. I thought about it further and have come up with this. Aliveness is about intimacy. The more intimate and honest we can be with ourselves, the more vital and alive we become. It’s a bit easier to understand if we think of it’s opposite—a state of dullness caused by habit. We deceive ourselves with stories and misperceptions created a long time ago in childhood. We begin to coast in a habitual state of discomfort or dissociated comfort caused by the underlying misperceptions of the world that create the reality we think we live in.
Intimacy—the ability to know oneself intimately, which is to know one’s deepest thoughts and feelings. We cannot be intimate with others until we are intimate with ourselves. We can’t fully engage with life until we know intimacy.
Honesty—to be free of deceit, to be trustworthy and fair. We cannot be honest if we’re deceiving ourselves. Honesty demands an ability to be intimate with ourselves and others.
To come alive, is to first feel the truth of that discomfort or dullness, to sense the lack of feeling, the numbness, rather than to cover it up with more hysteria or drama or productivity goals. Take away our survival defenses—the drama, hysteria and goals and we’re left with at first not much—perhaps a sense of despair, or sadness, or hopelessness. When we can be fully there, (or with whatever feeling we are experiencing), we allow an opening for Grace to imbue our lives with love.
During the next meditation series, we will focus on intimacy, honesty and aliveness.
We will work with our defenses to intimately come to know ourselves, to honestly review our misperceptions so that we may become more fully present in our bodies, align our heart with our mind, and become open and vulnerable to receive the beauty and love that is the Truth that surrounds us. We will work to cultivate an attitude of positive appreciation for ourselves, the earth and our community.
This is an invitation to join me. . . as I open my heart to greater intimacy, honesty and aliveness.
