September 2024 Topics

September 2024

Author of Summary: Rev. Kathy Mastroianni

When it feels like everything is falling into pieces, how can you find more Peace?  When we are confused and asleep in the illusion of separation, there is no Peace in our world. Spiritual wisdom and tools can help us awaken and rise to the Truth that, as Dr. Ernest Holmes said, “Peace is always at the center of our own soul.” Oneness, Peace and Harmony prevail.  Spiritual tools in our toolkit for Life help us have a Grand Rising in our personal and collective experience of Peace. In this month’s topic, we will explore: What is Peace? How to cultivate Inner Peace, Peace with others, Peace in community, and Peace on Earth--and truly put the “Peaces” together in order to Rise Up and BE the Peace we see in the world. 






Each month we choose a few virtues to focus on with the youth and teens. We choose activities and stories that highlight the virtue. For September we will focus on Peacefulness and Faithfullness.



Affirmations for the month:

Week1: I easily tune into the Peace at the center of my soul.

Week2: The Divine in me recognizes and honors the Divine in you.

Week3: Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Om: Peace Peace Peace!

Week4:I imagine the world living Peacefully as One.

Week5: I AM the Peace I see in the world!






I checked out some really neat books to help us along the way! Here are some of the titles:

Title: Can you say peace? /

Title: Peace /

Title: The peace book /

Title: Peaceful piggy meditation /

Title: Healing breath : a guided meditation

Title: My magic breath : finding calm throu

Title: Sea Otter Cove : a relaxation story 
 

Title: Bubble riding : a relaxation story /

Title: I am a peaceful goldfish /

and more!


We will discuss the feelings we feel of peace. We will learn how to find our own peace. We may discuss the symbols that are associated with the concept of peace.







Affirmative Prayer for Peace

I recognize that there is a calm and peaceful presence in the universe, guiding and supporting me.

I am one with this peaceful presence; it flows through me and surrounds me.

I am at peace. My mind is calm, my heart is serene, and I am centered in tranquility.

I am grateful for the peace that fills my heart and mind. I give thanks for this calmness and clarity.

I release any thoughts of worry or stress, trusting that peace is my natural state. I let go and allow this peace to guide me.
