"Spiritual Imposter Syndrome"
Dr. Tracy Brown, RScP
11am, Sanctuary and Livestream on Facebook
You're spiritual. You read the right books. You show up at church regularly. Everyone who knows you, knows you are spiritual, not religious. You know what to do; but do you understand why you are doing it? You know what you believe; but do you understand how to use that belief to build a life worth living? Get ready to look in the mirror and see your true self.

"Would You Be Willing?"
Rev. Rebecca Rickey
11am, Sanctuary and Livestream on Facebook
Every moment, we are exercising our spiritual power of will, whether consciously or unconsciously. In Unity, will is more than determination; it is the divine faculty that directs our life and shapes our character. As we align our personal will with the wisdom and love of the Divine will, we discover the power to persist in Truth until it becomes a living reality. Join us, if you are willing, as we explore how the spiritual faculty of will transforms intention into demonstration and possibility into experience.

Before you say, “I can’t ‘do’ yoga”, let me introduce the ancient art of Yoga Nidra. Nidra means sleep and, in this practice, you are guided into a meditative state that explores the koshas, or sheaths, of yourselves. These layers include your physical body, mind-emotional layer, energetic or pranic body where our sacred breath lives, our wisdom layer, and our bliss body-right at our heart’s center. Yoga Nidra is also known as Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) and has been proven in the literature to not only reduce stress and cortisol but also increase cognitive abilities, quality of actual sleep, and increase dopamine by up to 60%!
It is traditionally done laying down, but this powerful practice can be engaged laying in any position or even sitting in a chair. When woven together with the fourth principle of Unity—that prayer and meditation connect us to God—Yoga Nidra ceases to be a mere relaxation technique and becomes a powerful gateway to the Divine
Bring a blanket, yoga mat, or floor pillow...whatever you’d find comfortable.
