October 10, 2008 Get Together

Grab a towel and come join us Friday 10/10/08 at 6:00pm on the green at the end of East Enid (ocean park).

We will be hanging out discussing topics from the first chapter of TRUE BALANCE by Sonia Choquette. You can purchase the book on amazon and even read the first chapter - just follow this link http://www.amazon.com/True-Balance-Commonsense-Renewing-Spirit/dp/0609803980

If you don't have time to read the first chapter or buy the book come join us anyway - it will be fun to share ideas and go on a light journey of self exploration.

Below is an excerpt from the first chapter:
When our first chakra is balanced, our foundation becomes well rooted. We will feel as if we have been invited to the banquet of life as honored guests. Life is welcoming, ready to embrace us and offer us support and nurturance in every way. We intuitively trust that no matter where we find ourselves, life will be generous in offering us endless opportunities with which to meet our basic needs. With a well-established psychic foundation, we feel that not only is life a party, the party is for us. Our first chakra's primary function is to assist us in meeting our basic needs for survival gracefully and with ease. Its mission statement is "I want, I need, give me, give me now!" It focuses our attention on what we need day to day in order to survive, and it stimulates our ability to reach out for and demand fulfillment. A balanced foundation allows us to feel confident in the belief that the Universe will collaborate with us in meeting our requirements to grow and thrive in this life. It keeps us from internalizing the chaos of the world and helps us refrain from joining the chorus of "I can't, I won't, I'm afraid," from which so many people suffer. It supports us in staying connected to our true spiritual heritage and creates a sense of belonging, of feeling wanted, of being a part of the community and of feeling worthy and worthwhile. One of my favorite images for a balanced foundation is that of a plant or tree rooted firmly in the ground, solidly supported by Mother Earth.

We will be collecting love donations to be offered to The Sree Ram School in India - a school educationg underpriveleged children. Please take a look at their site listed under links.
