THIS WEEK'S TALK BY

Rev. Cath DePalma



"Life IS Flow"

We ARE flow-ers of energy! Whether we see or know it or not, life is flowing within us and around us. When we realize who we are and what we are capable of, we participate in the creation of more life…more life in us and all around us. That’s when things start to get interesting!

Creating Our Beloved Community

The Blue Zones

Join Rev. Cath DePalma, via Zoom as we discuss "Live to 100, The Secrets of the Blue Zones", by Dan Buettner, a documentary on Netflix, for our March, Creating the Beloved Community Discussion group.

Through years of study, Dan identified five regions around the world where people live longer, healthier lives than average. These communities are known for having a high number of centenarians who maintain vitality well into old age. The five Blue Zones are: Ikaria, Greece, Okinawa, Japan, Sardinia, Italy, Loma Linda, California, USA, Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica.

These regions share common lifestyle habits known as the Power 9 Principles, which include natural movement, a sense of purpose, stress reduction, moderate eating, plant-based diets, moderate alcohol intake (mainly wine), community belonging, prioritizing family, and maintaining social circles.

Join Rev. Cath as we continue our conversations about creating a Beloved Community by exploring how others are living such amazingly long lives and how we might add some of their principles to our own lives and our CSLN community.

In preparation, watch "Live to 100, The Secrets of the Blue Zones" on Netflix.

SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT

David Arnholter, RScP

I know that there is only One. One Spirit, One Light, One Love. I am one with Spirit. I am one with Light! I am one with Love. I know this fully and completely!

A healing Power is flowing in and through me now. Every organ of my body, every thought in my mind, every function of my body is healed by this Power completely and perfectly.  There is no fear, no doubt and no uncertainty in my mind. The love of Spirit expressing in and through me, directs me, protects me and guards me every step of my life.

And I know this same healing Power is flowing through our beloved Center healing everything which needs to be healed to keep it growing and thriving.

I give thanks for Love expressing in my Life. I give thanks for the Science of Mind teaching. I give thanks for everyone who is actively working and supporting our vibrant, loving, abundant Community of CSL Nashville.

Accepting “Love Expressing” as my life experience, I release my word into the Universal Law of Mind, which always says YES! knowing it has already made all of this or something even better, so.

And so it is.
