Wednesday March 2
Pisces New Moon + Venus, Mars, Pluto Align

Picture
Image by Darkmoon Art from Pixabay
March 2022 asks us to take the lead, step into the driver’s seat, and get things done! March is the only month of 2022 where we have zero major planets in retrograde. This means the month brings us some bold, fast, forward-moving energy that can help us push past our fears and take action on the things that we really want to do.
Jupiter, the planet of abundance and expansion is very active under this New Moon, which may heighten our emotions. The nice thing about Jupiter’s energy however is that it also allows us to see the silver lining and to focus on those more feel-good emotions. At the time of this New Moon, Venus, Mars, and Pluto will also be in alignment in Capricorn. This rare combination of planetary energy will color the energies we feel around this New Moon. We may notice a focus around our relationships or power struggles in our lives.  More to read at: https://foreverconscious.com/intuitive-astrology-forecast-for-march-2022

Spiritual Healing Requests
==================================================
Spirit healings result from law-governed forces being put into operation following the sending forth of a thought directive (prayer). Spirit guides and doctors will diagnose the trouble and its cause, attention being directed to overcoming the cause, and then removing the symptoms.
Please set time aside each day to send healing thoughts for each of those listed below, that they may receive from Spirit that which is for their highest and best needs.
Your healing prayers are needed and benefit others in ways we may never know.

Prayer for Spiritual Healing
I ask the Great Unseen Healing Force
To remove all obstructions 

From my mind and body 
And to restore me to perfect health.
I ask this in all sincerity and honesty
And I will do my part.

I ask this Great Unseen Healing Force
To help both present and absent ones
Who are in need of help
And to restore them to perfect health.
I put my trust 
and love in the power of God.

Prayer for Ukraine ... by Marianne Williamson
Dear God,
Please send miracles
to the people of Ukraine.
Send angels to minister unto them.
Bring calm and peace to their frightened hearts.
Awaken in Vladimir Putin
the truth of who we are.
Soften his heart and remind him of his soul.
Please God, may there be peace.
Amen

Full Snow Moon in Leo 

Picture
The Painter to the Moon, Marc Chagall, 1917. Public Domain
The Leo Full Moon on February 16, 2022, is making cosmic beams with the Lunar Nodes, which are mathematical points in our sky that represent our highest destiny.
Under the influence of this Full Moon, we are guided to remember that our highest destiny is not some faraway place that we have to struggle to reach, but rather a small quiet space that lives within us.
Very often we are tricked into believing that living our highest density, and leading our lives from a place of purpose has to be directly tied to our career and how we are choosing to spend our time. While these can be relevant on the journey, being aligned with our purpose is more of a state of mind and state of being.
One of the gifts that this Full Moon offers us is also the energy of lightness. It reminds us to soften our being and to focus on creating joy. Being in a state of joy is one of the fastest ways to connect us with the Divine, and the path of our highest destiny.

Returning to UUFSB UPDATE Feb.2: Because of the rapid rise of Covid-19 on Long Island with the omicron variant, the Board of SCOL suspended all in-person services and classes at UUFSB since December. Now, after due consideration and Board discussion, we plan to have an in-person Mediumship Development class at UUFSB on Tuesday, March 1 at 7:30 pm and a church service on Saturday, March 5 at 10:45 am. We will be following the UUFSB covid protocols as before. 
We first need to know if there are those who are willing to come to this class and service and help out with setting up the room and breaking it down afterward.  Please email our church if you can commit to coming to the class or the service or both at [email protected]

Spiritual Healing Requests
==================================================
Spirit healings result from law-governed forces being put into operation following the sending forth of a thought directive (prayer). Spirit guides and doctors will diagnose the trouble and its cause, attention being directed to overcoming the cause, and then removing the symptoms.
Please set time aside each day to send healing thoughts for each of those listed below, that they may receive from Spirit that which is for their highest and best needs.
Your healing prayers are needed and benefit others in ways we may never know.

Prayer for Spiritual Healing
I ask the Great Unseen Healing Force
To remove all obstructions 

From my mind and body 
And to restore me to perfect health.
I ask this in all sincerity and honesty
And I will do my part.

I ask this Great Unseen Healing Force
To help both present and absent ones
Who are in need of help
And to restore them to perfect health.
I put my trust 
and love in the power of God.

Online Thursday:
Working with Clairaudience
For the Mediumship Meetup on Thursday, February 3, at 7:30 pm on Zoom, we will be working with clairaudience.  Terry Kruse will be directing this exercise.
Clairaudience is like someone talking in your mind. The messages we receive through clairaudience are usually short and straightforward. In this exercise, we will ask each medium to go back to the childhood of the sitter to connect with a person the sitter had the best of times with.  It could be a family member, a friend, or neighbor.  This person in spirit is someone the sitter cherished or someone who could bring up their childhood joy. Mediums connect with the loved ones in spirit by allowing them to give short messages in their minds clairaudiently.  Mediums first ask those in spirit to tell them about a memory or two where your sitter and their special person from childhood shared their joyous feelings together. Then the mediums ask spirit if there is a message they would like to send to the sitter.  If so, relay it to the sitter.
