Seeking Source Saturday: Enlightenment & The State of Flow

enlightened brainEnlightenment & The State Of Flow

Free “Enlightenment &
The State of Flow”
meditation CD
will be given to participants who RSVP at
info@NuminousOnline.com

It is an indomitable truth that as life continues, we experience more and more inevitable losses.  No one gets out of this life unscathed.  How does one remain buoyant, happy and engaged in life when it offers us so many opportunities to be otherwise?

There is a way of being in this world that enables us to proceed through devastating loss and still thrive.  We see clues to this way of life in the three religious traditions that discuss meditation as a means to obtain enlightenment.  Although these traditions don’t agree on what it means to be enlightened, they do agree that enlightenment means the end of suffering.  Many people believe that enlightenment is impossible to reach, similar to the mythical place of Shangri-La.   However, current neuroscience is documenting that enlightenment is simply a trained nervous system, and through skilled meditation training, it can be reached.

In this Seeking Source Saturday,  we will discuss meditation skills needed for self-regulation required to obtain the state of “flow” outlined by positive psychologist, Dr. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Ph.D.  Flow could actually be thought of as “enlightenment-light”.  We will discuss the characteristics of a flow state, and how to train the mind to attend to our daily lives in a manner that facilitates this state.  The state of flow has many aspects of the enlightened state, which would have us be more aware of the movement and people around us and be more attuned to responding to it’s subtle nuances.  An enlightened mind is not self-involved, and does not project the past on to the future.  The result is that it remains enraptured in the ever unfolding present.

To  help prime the mind to experience these sublime states, we are blessed to have positive music award winner,  singer/song writer Mark Shepard, perform  and lead us in song in with his transformative music.

Topic: If You Knew Who Walked Beside You….

If you knew who walks beside you on the way that you have chosen, fear would be impossible. ACIM
 
It is interesting to note that although an Infinite Intelligence completely orchestrated the processes that enabled us to grow from a single celled organism to a complex set of different physiological systems all of which intricately work together to allow us to become multi functioning human beings in a manner that no human being could duplicate…and this all occurred without ANY input from us…that so many of us live without acknowledging this Intelligence within us.  It is almost as if when ego structures begin dominating our thinking, we say to this magnificent benevolent Intelligence….”I will take it from here”  …and that is when our problems start.  When we start feel that we are living life alone is when depression sets in, addictions take hold, and scarcity “on my own” mentality influences people to behave in horrible ways.
 
It is my understanding at this stage of my learning, that we were never meant to do this life alone.  Jesus advised us to become “as little children”  not to minimize us, but to enlargen us by teaching us how to become poised to inherit the riches of being a Child of the Infinite.   When we don’t live from a co-creative stance, It is like being an bird that is trying to fly without using the “wind beneath your wings” which causes too many of us to fly in aimless circles for years.
 
In this class, we will discuss how none of us are called to live this life alone.   We will also discuss how we are here to joyously co-create…not just survive through toiling and force.  We will discuss the skills and perspectives needed to live from a stance of empowered humility which yields the glorious peace of mind that everything is unfolding exactly as it should and for our benefit.  We will also sit in meditation and practice how to open our mind  to the Loving Intelligence that created us all, so our lives return to becoming the magical mystery tour they were supposed to be, before we arrogantly took hold of the wheel.
 

To help us embrace this level of consciousness, Singer/Songwriter and Posi Award Winner, Mark Shepard will perform his original musical journeys and lead us in song through a musical experience that will enable us to feel the Infinite’s presence closer to us than our own breath.  http://positive-songs.com

Music, Message, Miracles & Healing Current

treble candle lightMusic, Message, Miracles & Healing Current – Saturday April 19  4:00-5:30 PM

What if we could come together and explore the “numinous,” the Spiritual connection we have that is not particularly “religious” but that honors the deep soul filling experience of singing, chanting, meditating, healing energy and intention that we create when we gather together in community?

What if we called it:
Music, Message, Miracles & Healing Current
and held it on: Saturday April 19 4:00-5:30 PM?

Read on to discover how cool this gathering will be!

This new NUMINOUS programming is designed to take us to our naked edge with Source through meditative music and singing, a stimulating contemplative message, and group meditation with the intention of skillfully softening our feelings of separateness and isolation from the energy field that we call “God” .

To facilitate this connection, Musician Mark Shepard will be leading us with visionary songs, chants and instrumental gifts…

Meditating as a group enables us to generate a healing current where we can receive greater benefit than meditating alone.   Participants will also be invited to receive healing energy treatments during the meditation time.

The message for this program will discuss how to transcend our emotional challenges  and addictions to bask in God’s presence through enlightened softness.   As infants, our bodies do not have the musculature to hold back emotion, and our bodies are doughy and supple.

As we age, we develop muscular defenses to keep emotions at bay. These muscular defenses harden us to everything, sorrow AND Joy!   Feeling the bliss of your eternal nature is easily accessed through skillfully releasing our rigidities and resentments, which always involves releasing the body.

Bethany will discuss how in her 20 years of teaching biofeedback she has watched hundreds of people ask bigger questions and sense their larger natures as they learn to skillfully surrender the body.

We hope to see you there!

Bethany Gonyea and Mark Shepard
