I just got off the phone with our fearless Unity Board President, Peggy Gunter. Peggy is sick today, as are many, and she is particularly disappointed to be missing our Burning Bowl today. Peggy has always been the keeper of the flame at the bowl site, so she will be missed this year!
She shared with me that she plans to have her own private burning bowl at home today, and I thought this was such a neat idea that I would pass it on.
Here is a three step process:
1. After a time of quiet, consider what your dreams and hopes are for the new year.
2.
a. Next, write down those things you need to, or resolve to, let go of, as a way of removing obstacles from intention towards your goals, dreams, and hopes. Spend some quiet time with this, maybe play some nice quiet music while considering this.
b. When you are ready, burn this list as a way of putting your intention into action, and as a way of acknowledging your partnership with the Source of your life. Trust in God's help with the details.
3.
a. Next, write a letter, often this is a letter to God, describing what you hope will fill the vacuum you just created, sometimes this is a letter from the perspective of God or your higher self (the Christ within) to you, the one doing the letting go, a love letter of encouragement.
b. Put this letter in an envelop, seal it, address it to yourself, and put your birthday or other important day in the corner where the stamp would go. Bring it or send it to Unity, and we will mail it back to you on your appointed day.
This is a favorite event in the Unity Church calendar. If you cannot be with us physically, please be with us in Spirit,
And know that wherever you are, God is, and all is well.
