Moving Through Scary Times

3/13/2020

All of the news about the virus can be scary.  People are rushing to the store to stockpile food, hand sanitizers and yes incredibly toilet paper.  I went to do my weekly shopping today and was shocked to find rice and potatoes almost all gone.  And, yes, there were bare shelves where the toilet paper used to be.  

In my opinion fear is as deadly as the virus.  Each cell in our body responds to our thinking and feeling.  If we think fear thoughts then we attract the very thing we wish to avoid.   This does not mean that we don't wash our hands, etc. but the best antidote is meditation and knowing that we are surrounded and enfolded with the loving healing energies within us and all around us.  

Jesus was a healer and emphasized that we could do as he did.  He sent his disciples in pairs to heal people with maladies of all types and kinds.  He emphasized that with God all things are possible.  His constant message was and is "fear not".  This message is so timely today.  

Charles and Myrtle Fillmore started Unity when Myrtle was cured of tuberculosis.  Miracles of healing happened frequently during the early days of Unity.  Their message is timeless about the power of prayer, meditation and faith to heal and stay well.  

There have been occasions in my own life when times were very scary but it is amazing what happens when you open up to the incredible energies available to you through prayer and meditation.

I along with many other Unity ministers are having crash courses on how to live stream.  I am joining a Unity instruction class at 3:00 PM today led by Kelly Isola (Unity minister) on how to live stream.   I hope to have live streaming mastered within the next few days so that is a good side effect of the virus situation.  This same program can be used to hold webinars which means that I can hold online classes.  I have had this on my goals and visioning for the church but had no idea that it would manifest in this way.

I always love to use the Prayer of Protection at times like these:

The Light of God surrounds me,
The Love of God enfolds me,
The Power of God protects me,
The Presence of God watches over me.
Wherever I am, God is 
And All is well.

Thank you so much, Ellen, for these words to share with my friends and family members who are not familiar with the wonderful Unity teachings. (You were my first "teacher" at Unity, and I am a student to this day.) This is so needed today.
