40 Days of manifesting beyond
Our last 40 -Day Meditation helped us cultivate a pathway to peace, using a wee book called “Peace is Every Step”. Each day we were introduced to a new way of taking action to create an environment within us and around us that created PEACE. Often as a new year approaches, we seek ways to change, make a difference, improve, resolve, and a number of other ways to manifest a life of peace, joy and prosperity. The past year has challenged many of us and activated fear, anxiety and anger. We experienced collective grief, global grief and pain. As there continues to be uncertainty, chaos and injustice across our beautiful world, our choice is to manifest a way of being that takes us beyond fear, let go of old habits, go beyond right and wrong and go beyond to feel unity, oneness, infinite love and gratitude. To manifest ways to invite the beyond in, to be grateful, to take the journey inside to listen, quiet and patient to receive the beyond in.
Many of you have reached out to me and to others in our hopeful community to continue to meet as a community for support, hope and strength. As a result, we are going to focus the 40-Day practice to finding ways to invite the beyond in, so we manifest a life that invites gratitude, love, trust and more despite the uncertainty around us. We will be guided by another wee book called “Yoshuku: The Japanese Art of Manifesting” Yoshuku translates into celebrating in advance. Yoshuku is the practice or technique to actualize your dreams. Perfect for starting a New Year.
The past few years have focused on gratitude, hope, grace, flourishing, joy, unconditional love, calm and peace. This practice will focus manifesting beyond, inviting new ways to be in the present moment. In our 40 days, as we gather together in our hopeful community and practice each day with intention, and learn, support and share with and for each other. Manifesting Beyond.
A meditation practice one of the best prescriptions for human flourishing, health, infinite love and gratitude.
We have a beautifully designed system in our bodies called the Renewal Response. This is our antidote to the Stress Response. The renewal response is both activated by love and activates love. AND it takes intention and attention. Presence begins with awareness, being with, and noticing your internal experience so that you can mount a healthy response to conflict or angst, and lead with acts of love and compassion. The ripple effect from your own response has significant impact on those around you, and who knows how much farther.

It helps establish inner peace and a state of flow and ease in your life. Open to anyone who wishes to be part of a community to be supported in their spiritual and conscious journey.
