February 16
Full Snow Moon in Leo 

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. More to read at:

Online Thursday:
WORKING WITH DREAMS
For the Mediumship Meetup on Thursday at 7:30 pm on Zoom, we will be working with dreams.  If you are coming to this Meetup, please write down a recent dream you have had and are comfortable sharing it with a partner in class.  For this exercise, your partner, the medium, will try to connect to a loved one in spirit or a spirit guide who will interpret your dream. As a second exercise, each medium will create a dream sequence involving him- or herself with your partner and describe what happens in the dream.

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.
