I am so happy to share that the next guest on High Conscious Conversation is Rev. Wendy Silvers.

Rev. Wendy is a sought-after Wisdom Teacher, Spiritual Midwife, Author, and, Sacred Activist. For almost two decades, she has been helping moms heal themselves so that they can consciously raise their children + change the world. She believes that empowered mothers in touch with their immense value as sovereign beings create a thriving society. Rev. Wendy founded the Million Mamas Movement to educate, empower and evolve the power of the Mother in our world.

I have known Rev. Wendy for the past 12 years. (We began our ministerial journey together)

–

As a matter of fact, in one of our classes, Rituals and Ceremonies, we were married. This ceremony upset her daughter, who was nine at the time, and in class with us that night, since Rev. Wendy was already married to her dad.

Not only that, I am a proud gay man. 🙂

We’ve had a laugh over this throughout the years.

And, we’ve grown through a lot together.

We share a deep + abiding love for the Divine . . . meditation, affirmative prayer, visioning, a commitment to spiritual activism.

And, having fun.

One of the primary needs of humans is to connect with one another!

And, one of the most significant challenges in recent times, has been the pandemic, where mandating physical distancing seems to be the, “new normal.”

All usual group activities have been abruptly interrupted with no end in sight, which I know has led to your feeling isolated.

So, I want you to know that you are not alone!

–

Join me Friday, December 11, 7 am pst on Insight Timer, for my live, guided meditation.

We will explore the practice and benefits of Community and Fellowship.

Please know that I am here for you!

See you Wednesday, 11 am PST for High Conscious Conversations

and Friday, 7 am PST, for Community and Fellowship!

Namaste,

Elevate + Celebrate! High Conscious Conversations (+ Spiritual Activation for the Holiday Season)

How was your Thanksgiving?

I was grateful to be able to connect with my loved ones.

And, I kept my intention to hold a high vibration in my conversations. (you know how it can be with family sometimes)

Because I know that you create your life with what passes through your lips. (even when you are using sign language)

–

Which is why I was inspired to create the weekly webcast, High Conscious Conversations. In a world that is seemingly mad, I want to offer you a warm place to go to where you will meet wonderful people doing great things in the world.

Have a Healthy Thanks-Giving (+ Awakening Your Spiritual Journey)

It’s that time of year again — the holidays!

–

Thanksgiving is a day I treasure!

It’s when I get to see my momma.

But, I’m not going to see my eighty year old mom this year, which makes me feel sad.

I bet your holiday plans have changed, too.

–

So, I want to share my favorite Thanksgiving Reading with you.

I read it every year.

It’s my personal reminder of the sacredness of this holiday

Not only that, Howard Thurman is my favorite scholar!!

One of my greatest teachers and inspirational people.

This reading is from his book, For The Inward Journey, and it is entitled, “A Litany of Thanksgiving.”

–

Today, I make my Sacrament of Thanksgiving.

I begin with the simple things of my days:
Fresh air to breathe

Cool water to drink

The taste of food

The protection of houses and clothes

he comforts of home.

For all these I make an act of Thanksgiving this day!

I bring to mind all the warmth of humankind that I have known:
My mother’s arms

The strength of my father

The playmates of my childhood
The wonderful stories brought to me from the lives of many who talked of days gone by when fairies and giants and all kinds of magic held sway;
The tears I have shed

The tears I have seen

The excitement of laughter and the twinkle in the eye with its reminder that life is good.

For all these I make an act of Thanksgiving this day.

I finger one by one the messages of hope that awaited me at the crossroads:
The smile of approval from those who held in their hands the reins of my security;

The tightening of the grip in a single handshake when I feared the step before me in the darkness;

The whisper in my heart when the temptation was fiercest and the claims of appetite were not to be denied;

The crucial word said, the simple sentence from an open page when my decision hung in the balance.

For all these I make an act of Thanksgiving this day.

I pass before me the mainsprings of my heritage:
The fruits of the labors of countless generations who lived before me, without whom my own life would have no meaning;

The seers who saw visions and dreamed dreams;

The prophets who sensed a truth greater than the mind could grasp and whose words could only find fulfillment in the years which they would never see;

The workers whose sweat has watered the trees, the leaves of which are for the healing of the nations;
The pilgrims who set their sails for lands beyond all horizons, whose courage made paths into new worlds and far-off places;

The saviors whose blood was shed with a recklessness that only a dream could inspire and God could command.
For all this I make an act of Thanksgiving this day.

I linger over the meaning of my own life and the commitment to which I give the loyalty of my heart and mind:
The little purposes in which I have shared with my loves,

my desires,

my gifts;

The restlessness which bottoms all I do with its stark insistence that I have never done my best,

I have never reached for the highest;

The big hope that never quite deserts me,

that I and my kind will study war no more,

that love and tenderness and all the inner graces of Almighty affection will cover the life of the children of God as the waters cover the sea.

All these and more than mind can think and heart can feel,
I make as my sacrament of Thanksgiving to Thee,

Our Father, in humbleness of mind and simplicity of heart.

Dr. Howard Thurman

Isn’t that beautiful?

And, so very meaningful.

Yoga Joes: Classic Green Army Men Doing Yoga

Yoga Joes

I saw this one of our team’s posts and one DoYouYoga and LOVED IT. It’s from the brain child of Dan Abramson, the creator of “Brogamats,” a line of yoga gear aimed just for men, such as yoga mat bags to carry your yoga mat such as the lumberjack bag, downward facing log, burrito bag and more. Dan’s mission through Yoga Joes is to inspire veterans and people, mostly men, who like the military should to try out a little yoga. Yoga Joes are brilliant and as he says, he loves making a violent toy peaceful.

Yoga Joes will come in green or hot pink, and $20 for a set ($10 for veterans or active-duty military). The initial figures will include such poses as; warrior two, child pose, meditation pose, headstand, cobra pose, downward facing dog, with a stretch goal of having tree pose, crow warrior one. I’ve added the Kickstarter video below and you can visit Dan’s kickstarter page here.

Paying Respect to Dr. Maya Angelou

Today, we lost a national treasure, acclaimed poet, historian, author, actress, playwright, civil rights activist, director, polyglot, producer and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I pay respect to my Spiritual Teachers, Dr. Maya Angelou. Thank you, Thank you, for all you have given us, your words, wisdom and the inspiration for growth and enlightenment. You live on in my heart.

My favorite Maya Quotes:

“If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.”

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”.

While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God’s creation”.

We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.

When you know better, you do better.
