The divine inner child

Aloha everyone,

When I first moved to Hawaii I held classes on healing the inner child. Interestingly enough 20 years later I was asked to speak at a The Center for Spiritual Living in Waikoloa on the month that the theme is the divine child. So I decided to speak about the divine inner child. Funny how things come full circle.

Whenever I am asked to speak I begin to meditate on the topic and I am often pleasantly surprised by what comes up. I may try to record the talk and post an MP3 on my web site.

I know most of my readers live all over the world, but for you lucky few that do live in Hawaii I invite you to join me on December 6th, at 9:30 AM. The service begins with a meditation. The Center for Spiritual Living meets at the Waikoloa Elementary School Library (at the end of Paniolo Avenue in Waikoloa Village). Meditation begins at 9:30 a.m. Regular services begin at 10:00 a.m.

  • December 6, 2009 at 9:30 a.m
  • Center for Spiritual Living
  • Waikoloa Elementary School Library
  • Waikoloa, HI on the Big Island

Hope to see some of you there. And by all means pass the message along.

With love and aloha,
Susan

Charter for compassion: angels in action

Aloha,

Yesterday I challenged you to do several random acts of kindness and then today I received a message about an organization called Charter for Compassion.

This is their mission:

A call to bring the world together...

The principle of compassion lies at the heart of all religious, ethical and spiritual traditions, calling us always to treat all others as we wish to be treated ourselves. Compassion impels us to work tirelessly to alleviate the suffering of our fellow creatures, to dethrone ourselves from the centre of our world and put another there, and to honor the inviolable sanctity of every single human being, treating everybody, without exception, with absolute justice, equity and respect.

But how can this affect your life if you are unemployed, underemployed, having health challenges or just simply afraid? Read on.....

Ordinary angels: random acts of kindness

Aloha,

I ran across this story the other day and it reminded me of my road angels. One day my car broken down in a tunnel where people regularly drove 60 MPH. I was almost hit and two men in a pick up pulled up in front of me, hooked on a rope and pulled my car to safety. They left before I could even say thank you. I know they saved me from having a terrible accident.

This angel saved Janel a lot of heartache. Random acts of kindness make us feel better, help another person, even if we remain anonymous and definitely make the world a better place. I challenge you to do two good deeds this week.

Angels only have one answer: love

Aloha,

Years ago I realized that no matter what the question love is always the answer and no matter what sort of problem we are having if we respond with love the results are far superior. Angels only have one response to anything: love. They just don't have the capacity to judge anyone or anything. Imagine what would happen to your life if you were freed from any thoughts of judgment.

I frequently get questions about forgiveness. When we feel wronged or betrayed by someone it is often a struggle to even entertain the idea of forgiveness no less actually forgive them. Yet if we see things through the eyes of love we are free of the judgment that creates the need for forgiveness.

Fearless Fridays: fear of flying

Aloha,

I used to be terrified of flying. My fear was courtesy of my grandmother. My dad had a small plane and took me flying with him all the time. I loved it. Then he left me at his mother's house for a short time, she hated flying and by the time he came back to get me I was so afraid I threw up just at the thought of flying. It was a very messy flight home to NY from East Mckeesport, PA.

I had no idea they had all sorts of names for fear of flying including aerophobia, aviatophobia, aviophobia or pteromerhanophobia. I continued to be afraid into my early thirties. Oddly enough being on a commercial flight that almost crashed relieved me of that fear.

Breast Cancer Month and St. Agatha

Since this is breast cancer awareness month I thought I would post about my favorite Saint, St. Agatha. Her story is horrendous and yet she died in peace. Her connection to her divinity was so deep she had only love and compassion for those who sought to do her harm.
