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.
To request that a name or situation be placed on this healing list, please send a

"The enjoyment of scenery employs the mind without fatigue and yet exercises it, tranquilizes it and yet enlivens it; and thus, through the influence of the mind over the body, gives the effect of refreshing rest and reinvigoration of the whole system."  -- Fredrick Law Olmsted  
Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903) is widely recognized as the founder of American landscape architecture. His first, his most loved, and in many ways he's best known work was his design of Central Park in New York city with his partner Calvert Vaux. The Bayard Cutting Arboretum in our own neighborhood also features original designs from Frederick Law Olmsted.  https://bayardcuttingarboretum.com/frederick-law-olmsted/

Mediumship Development Meetup

Total Eclipse of the Heart
Hi, everyone. For our Mediumship Class on Thursday on Zoom, Suzanne Garrison-Terry will be leading this Meetup. This is Su’s description for this Meetup:
Is there someone who has crossed over, but you have not heard from? In this class, we will try to reach out to spirits that have been hidden from us. No promises, but let's try!
When people request a sitting, it is often to hear from a particular person. Let's see how easy it is...or isn't.
During breakout sessions partners will try to connect to requested individuals. Please bring a photo or personal item associated with TWO people who have crossed over that you would like to connect with.
••• Please contact Su before Thursday, 2 pm, for the zoom link and to let her know if you are coming or not: [email protected]
If you would like to attend this Meetup and are younger than 18 years of age, we must receive permission from your parents or guardian in writing in an email prior to the Meetup.
••• The cost for this class is $12.00. If this amount is not within your budget, please email Frank.  Please pay on our website at this link:

Total Eclipse of the Sun

 The Total Solar Eclipse will be a stunningly long eclipse with over 32 million people living on the path of totality. Witnessing solar totality tops the list of nature’s most phenomenal wonders. During a total solar eclipse, the Moon completely blocks the Sun while it passes perfectly between the Earth and the Sun. A shadow is cast onto Earth, and the sky turns nearly as dark as night.
