Here is what we're talking about on Sunday at the Center for Spiritual Living, Santa Rosa
1. Living from the Inner Self Benefits Both the Individual and the Community
- The essential self is calm, compassionate, and creative, and it connects us to the creative power of life.
- Tuning into this inner self fosters inner peace, self-confidence, and authentic well-being.
- When we live from this core, the positive energy we generate spreads to others, creating an atmosphere where everyone feels safe, supported, and empowered.
- This aligns with Dr. Barbara Fredrickson’s “broaden-and-build” theory, which shows that positive emotions enhance personal well-being and ripple out to benefit those around us.
2. The Ripple Effect of Positive Emotions and Empowerment
- Positive emotions such as gratitude, joy, awe, and hope multiply when practiced, creating an “ever-increasing ripple of influence” in our environment.
- Empowering others involves creating space for them to step into their potential, building trust, cooperation, and stronger connections.
- Empowerment is not about taking control but supporting others, uplifting both the giver and the receiver.
- The concept of clean power—connecting without manipulation—helps maintain an intentional, positive influence during challenging times, especially during elections.
3. Clean Communication and Consciousness as Tools for Empowerment
- “Clean power” involves removing hidden agendas or unkind intentions from our communication, as illustrated by Sylvia Boorstein's reflections on Right Speech.
- Words and actions must align with inner calm and positivity—speaking fear or spreading worry undermines the peace we cultivate within.
- Practicing intentional communication and clean power ensures that we influence others in constructive ways, especially during emotionally charged times.
- A rising consciousness lifts the vibration for everyone, helping us stay centered and intentional even in stressful environments.
These three points form the core of my message: Living authentically from the inner self, the multiplying effect of positive emotions and empowerment, and the importance of clean communication. They support the idea that each individual’s spiritual work contributes to collective well-being, especially during challenging times like elections.
