I read a chapter out of that book sometimes when I feel stressed. It's marvelous.Trev Dieselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05742413112547765782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574234.post-1154476842247547332006-08-01T20:00:00.000-04:002006-08-01T20:00:00.000-04:00You know, I love your telling about the Sunday you...You know, I love your telling about the Sunday you did Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" with the entire choir chiming in.... had to have sent chill bumps up yer spine- THAT's what worship is about...making the hair stand up on one's neck and sending a rush of blood to the heart.<BR/><BR/>I like the quotes from "Sabbath". I think people sometimes forget that a sabbath can be taken most anytime, anywhere. Seems like a kool book. I'm reading "Hardcore Zen" right now and will pick up "Sabbath" after that.<BR/><BR/>I really enjoyed planning Sunday moring music at Unity- until word came back that we seemed to be ignoring the 'older' ones with too much contemporary music. I had to let go of the reigns after that...but hey, I love all music- and there's room for it all...just gotta let go of what seems to be right and wrong about the service...and simply sing.isaiahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07704507894213178186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574234.post-1154442482076532422006-08-01T10:28:00.000-04:002006-08-01T10:28:00.000-04:00I just looked at the reviews of "Sabbath" on Amazo...I just looked at the reviews of "Sabbath" on Amazon, and it sounds like an amazing book. I'm ordering a copy and maybe it will wind up as a Christmas gift for several relatives. The "Practice" sections sound interesting. <BR/><BR/>The teacher training I was just in this weekend focused on taking journaling & meditation time. Several of the moms in there say they can't have any journaling or meditating time because of their children. I wonder about that. Not having any children, I can't really know...but it seems if parents did help each other to have personal "Sabbath" time, the entire family would benefit.Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09166368099822446943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574234.post-1154441972738619552006-08-01T10:19:00.000-04:002006-08-01T10:19:00.000-04:00Great post.

She said that with beginners, it is a good idea to repeat the same sequence over and over, so the students can really learn it and internalize it. Also that they can relax into the familiarity. <BR/><BR/>For me as the teacher, it gets boring doing the same thing over and over. But they don't seem bored at all. Maybe it is the church leadership that is meeting their own needs by making it bigger and better, and not the congregation's needs. <BR/><BR/>I used to go to a Unity church where they always ended with the song, "The Spirit of God is in This Place" . It is the one thing I remember, not the sermons. Each Sunday, I anticipated that wonderful song.Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09166368099822446943noreply@blogger.com
