On Sunday I visited North Atlanta Unity Church. I was greeted by genuinely warm ushers who helped me find my way around the children's classes so that I was sure to get them into the right places. Once I had my children settled in I went upstairs to the congregation hall where I was greeted by more kindness. Once inside I heard beautiful songs and music with an inspiring service. They took a moment to welcome newcomers by having everyone else stand and us seated. So many people came to me to say hello and greet me with welcoming hand shakes and hugs. They brought me brochures, a carnation, and gift certificate to their cafe.
The congregation hall was so powerfully energized that I felt healing occurring as soon as I sat down. I felt the urge to cry but was too shy and confused to do so. I just kept wiping the few tears that slipped by my "barriers" away from my face. The message of the service was about "the Christ consciousness". It was also about honoring yourself and allowing your guides to help you manifest your own dreams and desires. This is a very metaphysical approach to Christianity and Bible interpretation. I was open to the message because it is information I have heard before and corresponds to my own belief system. I am familiar with this approach to spirituality. When I hear the sermon it is as if my soul already knows it to be true and I am hearing it repeated like dejavu. I am happy to have gone because my own spirit needed to hear and feel the service. I feel completely energized and I can tell there is some intense healing happening. I was also reminded that we have the power to tap into the Source and heal our own ailments. I feel I have found a great Sangha (spiritual community). There is a energy healing ministry that I really want to be a part of that is affiliated with the church. The children were having such a good time they were disappointed we had to go. That definitely makes me happy as well!
Peace & Happiness to U-all
