Wherever Two or More Gather

Welcome to the September issue of Dancing Light News. This month’s theme is about the power of people coming together. As we are returning from summer vacations and getting back into the groove of work and school, this is a great time to reconnect with our friends and local communities. It is through coming together and sharing with each other that we can find a wonderful source of inspiration and support needed to transform our lives and the world around us.

I hope you all enjoyed a beautiful end to the summer.

In Peace and Light,
Jean

WHEREVER TWO OR MORE GATHER

As I attended church every Sunday while growing up, one of the stories that stood out in my mind was when Jesus tells his followers that they don’t need a physical church in order to properly gather in his name, for wherever two or more gather, his loving presence will be with them in their prayers and rituals. This teaching came to mind once again for me when I attended the Conference on Bio-Energetic Wellness at the United Nations last month. Over 200 holistic healers attended this panel discussion in which seven presenters shared personal stories as well as information about their different fields of energy work. Almost every presenter began their talk by asking the group to join in a short breathing exercise which in turn raised the energetic vibration of the entire room. By the time 2-½ hours had passed, I felt a buzz from all the energy that had filled the room and thought how great an opportunity we’d been given to bring our healing light and presence to a place where world leaders gather.

As each panelist shared their professional and personal life experiences with us, the running theme I found throughout the conference was the importance of forming as clear an intention as possible when we use these different modalities of energy work. Whether it was a talk about feng shui, astrology, crystals or modern scientific technology, each presenter on some level emphasized the importance of clear intention in order for the healing and transformation process to fully manifest in any given situation.

One presenter, David Demaray of Biogenesis, told a beautiful personal story of his family’s spiritual journey and how it led to his sister becoming a powerful channel of healing for the earth and humans in general. It is through sharing stories such as David’s that people become inspired and in turn find more clarity with their intentions for themselves, their community and the world.

Susana Bastarica, President of the United Nations Staff Recreation Council – Society for Enlightenment and Transformation (U.N.S.R.C. – S.E.A.T.) was part of the panel discussion. She ended the conference by telling her story of a friend who had passed and how they had kept talking about getting together for tea and never did. As a result, she has made the point of regularly seeing friends over tea, allowing herself time to connect with the people in her life who inspire her. She emphasized the importance of everyone making the point of doing this in their life. Whether it’s tea with one friend or ten friends, or 200 healers coming together to share in their common interest, the important thing is to find time to share with each other a bit about ourselves and find inspiration in each other’s life experiences.

Vigil for International Peace

On Saturday, September 22, 2007, there will be an all day Vigil for International Peace in Central Park starting at 9 am at the Band Shell. More information can be found at http://www.vigil4internationalpeace.org/. If you have been meaning to get together with friends for a while and live the NYC area, this is a great opportunity to spend a beautiful fall day in the park and share in different cultural and spiritual activities. Whether you can make it for an hour or all day, be sure to stop by and check it out if you can.

New Moon with a Solar Eclipse

Mother Nature offers us many extraordinary tools for healing and transforming our lives, and tomorrow night she gives us the opportunity to plant the seeds of peace as there is a new moon charged by a solar eclipse. Tomorrow also happens to be the sixth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. This makes for a powerful time in which we can gather in unity on the mental plane and send out our intentions of peace, harmony, love and nurturing for each other and the earth. Whether or not we are able to gather with a community in prayer or meditation this week, taking a moment at some point tomorrow to breathe and send out an intention for peace is an important and powerful tool we all have that can and will make a difference.
