πŸŒŸπŸ™ Unleash the Power of Gratitude! πŸ™πŸŒŸwith Dr. Edward Viljoen


Hey spiritual seekers! Today, at our 7 pm Wednesday Evening Service, I'll be bursting with excitement to share a seemingly magical key that can unlock profound transformation in your life - Gratitude! πŸŒˆπŸ’«

In the chaotic whirlwind of our daily lives, it's easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle, overlooking the incredible blessings that surround us. But friends here's the secret sauce - gratitude isn't just a warm fuzzy feeling; it's a potent spiritual practice that can shift your entire existence! 🌟✨

When you embrace gratitude, you become increasingly aware of compassion, joy, and connection. Each day, take a moment to count your blessings, whether big or small - a breathtaking sunrise, a heartwarming smile, a comforting hug, or even a hot cup of coffee. πŸŒ…πŸ˜Š Embrace the beauty of life's tapestry, and watch as the Universe showers you with even more blessings to be grateful for! πŸŽπŸ’•

I taught an inmate in a state prison the practice of daily gratitude.  He had no breathtaking view, soft fuzzy blanket, or comforting hug to refer to.  He told me how in his practice he had to look deeply into everything around him and find something to be grateful for: the shapes on the wall, the ability of his ears to tune into sounds way beyond his cell, and other seemingly ordinary miracles of life.  

Through the practice her found, like we can, that gratitude opens your heart, ignites compassion, and connects you to the cosmic dance of creation. 🌌🌠 It empowers you to navigate through challenges with grace and find hidden opportunities in every obstacle. By acknowledging the gifts you have, you attract a symphony of positivity and inspire others to do the same! πŸŽΆπŸ€—

So, my beloved souls, join me on Wednesday at 7 pm, and let's embark on this incredible journey of gratitude together! Let's celebrate the wonders of existence and watch as our lives transform into a magnificent, love-filled adventure! Are you ready? πŸš€πŸ’–

What Do You Believe Now?

Dear Community, I just love this old photo of me and Music Director Christopher Fritzsche.  And, I love that I get to work with him at the Center. But that's not the point of this message.  :) I invite you to gather with me on Wednesday, November 8th at 7 p.m. for our Evening Service, where I'll talk about my own journey with Science of Mind, which began at a time when the world was less inundated with information. Today, with a deeper understanding of the nuances of human emotion, neurodiversity, social dynamics, and mental health, I find it enriching to revisit and question the ideas that initially drew me in. The concept that our thoughts have creative power prompted me to ask questions and seek out answers that were both invigorating and, at times, challenging. I've come to appreciate an approach that values evidence and personal growth over accepting ideas at face value. Our gathering is open to all, irrespective of individual beliefs about the divine. Instead, we fo

Tonight with Dr. Edward - Unlocking Inner Peace Through Spoken Chanting: A Journey into Meditation

Greetings! Today, I have the pleasure of sharing a transformative experience that has touched my life deeply and led me to discover the power of meditation. If you're someone who has ever struggled with the idea of meditation, you're not alone. I, too, was once perplexed by it until I learned that meditation takes various forms and doesn't follow a one-size-fits-all approach. My journey into meditation was a result of necessity, as I found myself in the role of a meditation teacher. This compelled me to explore different techniques and approaches that resonated with me and those I was guiding. One of the most impactful methods I encountered was chanting – a practice that has its roots in ancient spiritual traditions. Chanting, in my experience, is a profound way to engage in meditation. It aligns with the Science of Mind philosophy, which uses repeated affirmations to redirect the mind toward positive thoughts and beliefs. The great thinker Ernest Holmes emphasized the impo

Dr. Edward Viljoen at Wednesday Evening - Recovering from Betrayal: Lessons from Holy Wednesday

Betrayal can leave us reeling, lost in a sea of shattered trust and emotional turmoil. Yet, within the stories we've inherited, there are paths forward, lessons on resilience, and recovery that resonate through time. Holy Wednesday, often overshadowed by the more prominent days of Holy Week, offers profound insights into the nature of betrayal and the steps toward healing. Dr. Edward will talk about the story of betrayal, understanding its impact on our peace, and the steps we may take to heal from it. The Story of Betrayal Holy Wednesday marks a pivotal moment in the Easter narrative—the day Judas Iscariot chose to betray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. This act wasn't a mere transaction; it was a breach of deep, personal trust. Judas, one of the twelve disciples, had walked alongside Jesus, sharing in the journey, the teachings, and the miracles. His betrayal set in motion the events leading to the crucifixion, a cornerstone of the Easter story. Understanding the Impact B
