Episode 134: Arise and Shine | Unity Spiritual Center Denver | 3.31.24

Join us for a heartfelt Easter service, a celebration of spiritual renewal and inner transformation. This episode is an invitation to reflect on the essence of the Easter story, a powerful metaphor for our personal spiritual journeys. We discuss the concept of Christ consciousness and how embracing this divine love within us can liberate our spirit. Together, with the musical accompaniment of our Singing as a Spiritual Practice Choir and our special Easter ensemble, we experience prayer, music, meditation, and the rich symbolism of transforming a bare cross into a blooming one. I also delve into the poignant practice of anointing, an optional act of reflection for those inspired to participate.

Listen in as we contemplate the profound connections between God, love, and spirituality. This conversation encourages you to be present, free from distractions, and to embrace the movement of spirit through us. We explore the kingdom of God within and amongst us, and I guide you through a moment of mindfulness to align with your heart chakra. We examine the metaphysical interpretations of Christian scripture, seeking a deeper understanding of our existence as spiritual beings. Our creed, recited together, acknowledges God as love, our shared humanity, and the oneness that binds us.

Concluding with a message of hope and unity, this episode calls upon you to acknowledge the transformative power of love and belief in shaping personal and collective identity. As we affirm "I am" and recognize ourselves as agents of change, we discuss the importance of embracing love within us and in the wider world. We end with a chorus of "This Little Light of Mine," reflecting on the joy and positivity that music can bring into our lives. I invite you to let your light shine boldly, to embrace your role in making a positive impact, and to celebrate the spirit of community and shared destiny. So tune in, be inspired, and let's rise up together in love.
