The meeting ended with a reading by Beverley Macdonald of The Gifts of Responsibility, Rita Be Still's Award Winning Poem When I claim my pain I receive the gift of healing When I claim my anger I receive the gift of understanding When I claim my emptiness I receive the gift of self-worth When I claim my guilt I receive the gift of forgiveness When I claim my arrogance I receive the gift of humility When I claim my fear I receive the gift of trust When I claim my awareness I receive the gift of wisdom When I claim my truth I receive the gift of freedom! We want to offer our gratitude to Rita for conceiving the idea to create a Light Bearers Association and for her devotion to holistic health and sharing spiritual wisdom with the community which has grown up around Be Still Metaphysical Bookstore and the Light Bearers Association. Report of our last meeting prepared by Darlene Goddard. If anyone else would like to write up the notes from our meetings please let us know. With her depth of wisdom and experience, Carol came open to our questions and shared her wisdom around breath and the 7 Rays of Energy which is wisdom that came through Alice Bailey. Carol gave a brief overview of the 7 Rays of Energy and how they affect our relationships. This is obviously a huge body of wisdom that one could explore much more in depth. Carol shared her personal observations, in her practice, of the effectiveness of her energy and body work increasing by 50 % if people were breathing properly. She spoke about breathing being a response to our psychology and how we can shift from fight or flight into the parasympathetic nervous system, through observing our breath. Carol emphasized the role of the observer and how by simply observing our breath things change. It was really a wonderful reminder and lesson in the power of presence and now and also in the importance of getting out of the head and into the heart, to experience the healing power of stillness. Carol facilitated a meditation to give us an experience of her wisdom of being the observer of the breath in heart consciousness and people thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity and experience. Carol generously offers her time to facilitate free meditation sessions at noon Monday, Wednesday and Fridays via zoom. Carol’s presentation generated a great deal of interest and lively conversation amongst our group. With over 30 years of experience in her practice, Carol has a depth and wealth of wisdom to share and we only got to scratch the surface.
