A New Year. A New You.
Many people ring in the New Year and utter the words,
“My New Year’s resolution is (fill in the blank).” Research, however, shows
that 80% of these resolutions fall by the wayside within the first month. Unity
on the Eastern Shore has a January theme all about Intentional Living and
welcomes people wherever they are on their path to explore what Unity offers.
"At Unity
on the Eastern Shore and in the New Thought movement we set intentions and use
affirmations to create a better or different life,” says Reverend Linda Fisher,
M.Msc., minister at Unity on the Eastern Shore in Fairhope. The process
involves focusing on what is wanted in life, and what is not wanted, along with
looking for the positive things and practicing gratitude for them. “We come to
this life as whole and perfect beings, as clean slates. Sure, our DNA from our
heritage is embedded within us and we imprint upon our children the cultural
norms of our times and sometimes drag along all the past hurt and confusion
from our ancestry. As a spiritual teacher I am not here to label anything as
good or bad, right or wrong. Life is up to us and we can make of it what we
desire. Intentional Living as the qualities of God (compassion, love, kindness,
generous, accepting, peace and health) is our aim.”
Fisher
points out that one’s mindset going into any project, relationship or
opportunity defines the outcome. Adding the spiritual practice of daily
intention setting can transform every aspect of life as long as one is willing
to do the work to live them. According to The
Technology of Intention author, Kim Stanwood Terranova, “Intentions give us
the pathway to consciously create our lives.” The power lies within us ready to
act and take aim at what we desire to see and be. Terranova goes on to state
that, “Intentions are energetically lasered statements that inform the Universe
of your desire and the direction in which you wish it to be fulfilled.
Intentions are based on qualities of experiences and are always stated in the
positive, present tense.”
At Unity on
the Eastern Shore there is a gathering space, classes, events and support to
transform life from good to great as people come together to support one
another in living an intentional life.
Whether you have a strong
spiritual foundation, are just at the beginning of your spiritual journey or do
not believe in God at all, Unity offers spiritual insights and guidance for all
people. While having its origins rooted in Christianity, the Unity teachings
bring together ancient wisdom from many faith traditions. You will not find
dogma in Unity and we honor all spiritual paths. ~Unity Worldwide
