Our Spiritual Practices
Our community embraces the following spiritual practices which creates a foundation for us to live in alignment with our values and ways of being:
Affirmative Prayer is our primary and most significant methodology for intentional manifestation, creating the bridge between Spiritual Truth and manifested reality, transforming creation into a reflection of Spiritual Truth.
Compassion is the practice of the principles of Oneness, Spiritual Beings, Heaven, and Immortality. Compassion respects and honors the True Nature of others, all life, and ourselves. Compassion is claiming the same good for others that we accept for ourselves. Active compassion is the practice of joining personal responsibility with social conscience for the good of all.
Giving and Receiving is a way to practice conscious participation in the circulation of universal good in all of its forms.
Gratitude the practice of seeing creation as life affirming, looking for the Good and focusing on that good. Gratitude accepts with perfect faith that which has not yet manifested, as if it were already here.
Journaling is a powerful way to practice Gratitude on a regular or daily basis.
Meditation opens us to this inner awareness. It transcends all theologies and allows us to directly experience the One Infinite Reality. There are many different forms of meditation, each of which open us to be receptive to the Presence of Universal Spirit.
Mindfulness is paying attention to the present moment on purpose with nonjudgmental awareness. Mindfulness creates awareness of our inner alignment and congruence in daily living.
Silence creates an inner spaciousness to become aware of one’s own consciousness, to experience the rise and fall of thoughts and feelings without attachment or judgment. It invites us to become comfortable within our own body/mind, to release distractions, so that self-awareness has space to grow.
Sacred Service is a way to practice compassion by actively serving others. Sacred Service seeks to bring about the LAVM intention, mission and vision and the CSL vision of creating a world that works for everyone.
Sacred Study is the practice of expanding our knowledge and understanding of spiritual principles. It deepens our awareness of spiritual truths and provides the framework for spiritual practice. Through Spiritual Study, we gain wisdom as well as a deep appreciation for the wisdom of those who have walked a spiritual path throughout the ages.
Spiritual Coaching is working with a Professionally Licensed Practitioner to assist in examining one’s life in the light of spiritual principles, becoming aware of one’s inner states, hidden beliefs, and patterns of thought.
Visioning consciously opens us to be receptive to the impress of Universal Spirit. Visioning is the practice of cultivating the Field of Consciousness and illuminating what wants to emerge into form, without preconceived ideas or limitations. Visioning has a specific methodology, which can be used individually or in a group. Visioning may also be done informally.
