Thursday September 18 Zoom WORKSHOP: The Art of Working with Energy and Awareness 5:30 to 7:30 PM ET With guests Sandi and Mike Mayes Energy and Awareness are the two main ingredients of mediumship. Our physical senses and our energy field/chakras combine to give us the awareness which allows our outer world to influence our inner world – but do we understand them, and do we use them fully? This workshop will: • Clarify your knowledge • Empower you both to take control of what affects you and make appropriate choices • Facilitate communication from Spirit: Your awareness of both incarnate and discarnate energies will be enhanced. Workshop fee: $40/person. See poster below for details. Pay in advance (by 12 noon Thursday) using the Energy & Awareness Workshop PayPal button on our website: www.summerlandchurchoflight.org/payments--donations.html#EnergyAwarenessWorkshop Once payment is received, a Zoom link will be sent to you.

In the last degree of the sign, there’s an urgency to our new beginnings. It’s a powerful time to transform our jobs, health, self-care programs, and habits. We’re filled with innovative, inventive, and unusual ideas. There can be some roadblocks to manage, largely related to responsibilities to others or to our spiritual or mental health, but we’re determined to start fresh. This phase of the Moon occurs at 29 degrees and 5 minutes of Virgo, affecting people born with personal planets and points at 24 to 30 degrees of the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) and 0 to 4 degrees of the cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) most significantly.

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. Ebony and family Danielle S. Dolores M Loralei S Theresa F. and family Mary C. Linda and Larry B. Stephanie B. and family Ron G. Mary C. Frank K. Camille J. and Chrissy and family Eileen W. Lindy C. Karen L. Valerie M. Fran D. Brad H. Pano K. Bill B. Alexandria K. Gaza – Ukraine – United States
Prayers for all those who have experienced violence and abuse. Prayers for areas affected by recent natural disasters around the globe. Prayers for all those who are affected by recent and on-going wars. ------------------------------------- Prayer for the Middle East Creator, you are our Provider and Healer. We pray that Your timely help and support reach all who are in need. There is so much sorrow, pain, and conflict across the Middle East. We pray for leaders throughout the region and ask You to turn their minds and hearts toward peace. Online prayer modified by Valerie.
