“The Charismatic Spell: Empowering Lives and Hearts”
11am, Michael Brundy, Guest Speaker
Sanctuary & Livestream
People that have the ability to put others under their spell have charisma. Charisma is the ability to charm and inspire others, a divinely conferred power or talent. Charisma is a gift given to all but only positive, happy people accept and use this gift.
When people use their gift of charisma, they can induce spells on others. Not in the sense of sorcery or magic but by the power of their attitude. Their positive attitudes can be contagious. Then they can begin to make a difference in the world and in the lives of others.
Charisma is, in essence, a divine gift that can be a force for good in our world. It has the power to break down barriers, bridge divides, and bring people together. When charismatic people use their gift to inspire positive change, amazing things happen. They become catalysts for transformation, lighting the way for others to follow.
Let’s explore ways to use this charismatic spell.

Self Care for
Sensitive People
by Judith Orloff, M.D.
A big challenge for all sensitive people is how to be compassionate without absorbing the stress of others and the world. We don’t have the same filters as most people. We are emotional sponges who feel everything and instinctively take it in. This differs from “ordinary” empathy, where your heart goes out to others in pain or happiness, but you don’t take on their feelings.
We empaths are helpers, lovers, and caretakers who often give too much at the expense of our own well-being.
|
|
|
The secret to an empath’s well-being is to break the momentum of sensory overload before it consumes you. The strategies and attitudes I share here, which have been lifesaving for me, will quickly bring you back to center when you are overwhelmed or emotionally triggered.

Reverend Anne Tabor, M.Div., is available by appointment for spiritual counseling sessions at Unity of Arlington in a safe and supportive environment. As an ordained Unity minister, Rev. Anne, offers spiritual counseling to individuals seeking a deeper under-standing of themselves and their divine power within to solve life's challenges. Spiritual counseling can help if there is a need for inspiration, crisis support, or healing in any area of your life.

You are a unique expression of God. Spiritual counseling will remind you of that!
