AGAPE SOUTH – Sunday Guided Meditation – Life Structure Talk – Novice & Up

Join Rev Susan and the Enlightened Heart Spiritual Center this Sunday, February 10th, as we explore "The Joy of Loving"!

Our Talk this week….”Enlightened Relationships…..A Path to Remembering”. Join Cyndi, our new Ministerial Intern, as she shares her wisdom around the Path of Relationships! Her talk will inspire, uplift and illuminate us as we travel one of the most important journeys of our life; through intimate and loving exploration of ourselves. Cyndi is in her 3rd year of study, please support her and our community by joining us this Sunday.

The time has come to turn your heart into a temple of fire. Your essence is gold hidden in dust. To reveal its splendor you need to burn in the fire of love. Rumi

As we move into February, the month of Lovers, Hearts and Valentines, we begin to explore the capacity of the human heart. The heart knows how to love, to ache, to feel, and it also has the power to heal. We have the power to direct our heart to “Be More Loving” and with practice, more loving becomes the simple path to enlightenment!

Enlightened Heart gladly welcomes Mark Turnbull as our musical inspiration. The best way to listen to Mark Turnbull is with your heart. Words can deceive. His don't. Mark is songwriter, virtuoso guitarist, actor, and poet.

Our Practitioner is Steve Factor, ALSP. He will engage us in our affirmations, expand us in our Purpose statement and will anchor us in prayer. Steve will also be available for affirmative prayer after service!

Join Rev Susan after service the last Sunday of every month for an overview of our teachings, practices and beliefs. Learn more about who we are and what we are about. Q&A afterwards.

Physical Benefits of Meditation

With meditation, the physiology undergoes a change and every cell in the body is filled with more energy. This results in joy, peace, enthusiasm as the level of energy in the body increases.

On a physical level, meditation:

· Lowers high blood pressure

· Lowers the levels of blood lactate, reducing anxiety attacks

· Increases serotonin production that improves mood and behavior

· Improves the immune system

· Increases the energy level, as you gain an inner source of energy

Mental Benefits of Meditation

Meditation brings the brainwave pattern into a relaxed state that promotes healing. The mind becomes fresh, delicate and beautiful. With regular practice of meditation:

· Anxiety decreases

· Emotional stability improves

· Creativity increases

· Happiness increases

· Intuition develops

· Gain clarity

· Problems become smaller

Meditation sharpens the mind by increasing focus and expands through relaxation

A sharp mind without expansion causes tension, anger and frustration

An expanded consciousness without sharpness can lead to lack of action/progress

The balance of a sharp mind and an expanded consciousness brings perfection

Meditation makes you aware - that your inner attitude determines your happiness.
