The Modern Mystic: What was Old is New

The modern mystic explores paths already forged by those who came before, such as Meister Eckhart, Hildegard of Bingen, Julian of Norwich, St. Theresa(s). Their centuries-old words are surprisingly relevant and refreshing today. Let’s take a look!

The Modern Mystic: Body, Mind, and Spirit

This month, we are honoring our health in every aspect of our being. As we continue to explore “falling in love with God,” let’s refresh and solidify what we are doing to nurture and integrate body, mind, and spirit. This might mean that we deepen our meditation, practice better physical fitness, spend more time at our home altar, or take up a new activity that enlivens our thinking processes.

The Modern Mystic: Divine Feminism

Happy Mother’s Day! This special day is a day to celebrate moms, but it’s also a way to celebrate what we identify as the feminine qualities of Spirit: nurturing, creative, generous, and many others. Send us your photos or affirmative statements that represent your understanding of the Divine Feminine!

The Modern Mystic: Psalm 23

As we continue our solitary spiritual practices, we find comfort in this familiar Psalm. The ancient words serve as a mantra, reminding us of our eternal relationship with the Divine, and that all our needs are met. This is particularly relevant and poignant during this time of world change and uncertainty. Let’s explore the literal and metaphysical meaning in these timeless words, and let ourselves “fall in love” with God.

The Art of Taming Ego

As we continue our accelerated spiritual growth during this time physically apart from each other, our ego may assert itself at times that might surprise us. This is normal for times of change, stress, and readjustment. We will explore FACE: Fear, Attachment, Control, Entitlement. And the “YES” that we studied last week is our handy tool for taming that pesky ego.
