Thursday August 11 Mediumship Development Meetup Cancelled Just a note to say there will be no Mediumship Class on Zoom this Thursday, Aug. 11, because of personal reasons. All is good. Hope to see you on Thursday, Aug. 18. ~ Frank Kotowski Thursday August 11 Super Full Moon in Aquarius  Since June, we have been working with a lineup of three Super Full Moons, and now we arrive at the third and final Super Full Moon of the year on August 11. Reaching this point on our journey may bring a feeling of culmination or closure. If you can identify something that was stirring for you back in June, you may find now that in August, you are reaching the end point of this journey or are at a point where a decision needs to be made. Full Moons, but especially Super Full Moons, are always bringing to our attention what needs to be released from our lives. They bring our awareness to all that must be stripped away to keep us evolving and moving higher on our path. August’s Full Moon falls in the air sign of Aquarius, the sign of the water bearer. The water bearer is a symbol of healing and transmutation. It has the gift of collecting “water”- the emotional, psychic energy of the world around us, in its vessel and clearing it using the power of the breath before returning it to the Earth. As Aquarian energy will beam strong under this Full Moon, we can use it to connect with the gift of the water-bearer. We can use the power of our breath to transform dense, heavy, negative, or grief-stricken energies around us into something lighter, hopeful, and more loving. Allow compassion to radiate from your heart during this time. Allow the August Full Moon to keep you feeling full and your heart overflowing with the love you have received and will continue to receive. As the last Super Moon of the year, the August Full Moon may also bring us closure or guide us to finally reach a decision point on our journey. We may now know exactly which way we need to turn. We may now know which way we need to travel in order to reach our chosen destination. Saturn, the Lord of Karma is very active under this Full Moon. Whenever Saturn is active, it can press on us to take greater responsibility for our actions and to ensure we are moving in accordance with our higher self. If any actions you are taking are not in alignment with your soul, or if you are forgoing some of your responsibilities, this Full Moon may bring this information into your awareness.

Fair Use The Leo New Moon on July 28, 2022, is one of the sweetest New Moons we have experienced in a while. It carries the vibration of abundance, joy, and creativity. It is a beautiful New Moon for checking in with the flow of our lives and if we are where we want to be. Some days, life tends to pass in a blur. We get caught up in the rush and swept up in the flow of our past actions and beliefs. But July’s New Moon is a good time to pause and consider the direction of our lives. Are we moving in a direction that feels good? Are we taking actions each day that fill us with joy and inspiration, or are we living merely out of habit? Whatever awakenings or realizations you have around these questions, this New Moon will be on your side, supporting you through any changes you wish to make or any new ideas, habits, or ventures you wish to try. We can also use the symbolism of the Leo Lion to help guide our direction. Leo the Lion shares the message that we can be proud, confident, and fierce in who we are. When we shed the superficial, when we shed the burdens, when we shed the things that block us from being our true selves, we are able to truly shine. Venus and Black Moon Lilith are traveling closely together at the time of this New Moon, further amplifying this need to be our true authentic selves, especially when it comes to embracing more of our feminine qualities, which live within us all. But, the most active planet under this July New Moon is Jupiter. Jupiter is the planet of abundance and expansion. Coupled with the energy of the Leo New Moon, it will guide us to bring more of our heart energy into the world. The world definitely needs more heart energy right now, and this New Moon offers all of us that gift.

Monday August 1 Lammas, Lughnasadh  Lughnasadh takes place at the time of year when the first harvest has ripened and is ready to be gathered in. Its themes are abundance, gratitude and seeing the first signs of what we have sowed starting to pay off. Because it is the first of three harvest festivals, when we celebrate Lughnasadh, there is a great feeling of abundance; as well as the harvest we have been blessed with now, we know that there is more to come! However, we also know that there is more work to do. In our own lives, while most of us won’t be working to gather a harvest in at this time, this translates to taking stock of and celebrating what we have created in the last six to twelve months. What results can we see from our labour? This could be work we have been doing on a creative project, in the home, or on a certain area of our life, such as our health, wellbeing, spiritual connection or relationships.

For our Mediumship Class on Thursday we will be working with forgiveness. Are there loved ones in spirit for us that wish to make an apology for something they said or did to us? Can we accept their apologies and come to a place of understanding? Remember: There is a difference between accepting an apology and accepting what happened. • Mediumship Meetup Zoom link: Please email Frank or our church for the Zoom link. • A minimum of four students is required for a class. Please let Frank know by 2 pm Thursday if you plan to come: Send an email, text message, or phone call The cost for a class is $10.00 or $6.00 if you cannot afford $10.00.

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 note to summerlandchurchoflight@gmail.com 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.
