Samuel uses spring and its time of planning and of new beginnings as the backdrop to this Sunday’s teaching during which he discusses: feeling better by standing up for ourselves; how we can learn more about our personal lives by looking at what we want more of; what keeps us from having what we want now; and the process for shifting from waiting for things to drop into our lives to actively manifesting them.

During Samuel’s last meeting before the start of spring, his topics of discussion include: physical properties of the pineal gland, behaviors that cause it problems, and ways to “clear” it; an exercise for discovering area of imbalance in our life; ideas for changing negative patterns that relate to masculine energy, father figures, and finances; and a “speed version” of a technique to help us make big changes in our lives, with fuller details to be given at Phoenix’s 2014 Retreat.

Samuel uses the energy of Imbolc, the season of new beginnings, as the backdrop for this meeting. The topics discussed include: the benefit of contemplation before starting a project; the role of the solar plexus in stress; using the solar plexus to release negative attitudes and issues; how we ruin one ofour most important relationships–the one with ourselves; a simple exercise to relax and release what is holding us back; the only thing that stops us from being obnoxiously perfect; as multi-faceted beings release must occur for each facet; and how to know when you have successfully released an issue.

During Samuel’s first meeting of 2014 he discusses the importance of controlling both our thoughts and our finances. Explaining the power or our thoughts, Samuel discussed: how our thoughts manifest; the ways we bring negative, unwanted experiences into our lives; the consequences of not controlling our thoughts, of living our lives based on thoughts that are not our own, and of not recognizing and changing unhelpful thoughts. He then turned to the subject of our financial prosperity and discussed: the relationship between our attitudes about money and how they relate to our experiences with masculine energy; why finances are the first and the last issues in the life of a spiritual person; how inaccurate beliefs about money impact our lives; and recognizing how money issues are reflected by our behaviors and what those behaviors can teach us about our beliefs.

The joy, beauty and Light of the December holiday season makeup the backdrop of this meeting as Samuel discusses: gratitude as a prosperity enhancer; how to best use the Light celebrated during this holiday season; the importance of recognizing the role others play in creating the magic of the holidays; three ways we can give off the most Light; and why becoming a Secret Santa is a good way for releasing ego. Then as an example of the power of whimsy, laughter, and joy during the holidays, Samuel creates a hilarious interactive teaching about the lessons to be found in the story of Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer.

Before shifting to his main topic, Samuel begins the meeting by discussing upcoming power days. But Samuel’s topics of main discussion this evening include: an explanation on the nature of time; a definition of “ghost talking;” ghost talking exercises; how to help our past selves with gold cord work; ghost talking to the future; using ghost talking to recognize our patterns and issues; and how these exercises confirm our ability to encourage, comfort, love, and to provide wisdom and the answers needed in our lives NOW.

With his main focus on communication, the topics Samuel discusses include: relationships as a vehicle of change; why communication requires a choice rather than a voice; how physicality and mentality rule our communications; a simple way to learn what our facial expressions communicate; the difference between communicating from the heart rather than from the mind; how to communicate with rocks, plants, and animals, and what it can teach us; the easiest way to communicate with animals; methods for communicating with “ghosts,” and why Samuel doesn’t encourage it; and how using a bridge of love can turn any communication into right communication.

Samuel uses the Labor Day holiday for the backdrop of this Sunday’s meeting. His topics of discussion include: seeing this holiday as one for celebrating those who are doing the hard stuff, and that relationships are large part of the “hard stuff” we do; the need to be aware of the many relationships we don’t acknowledge; why relationships don’t have to be long-term commitments; understanding the nonstop conscious work required to maintain successful relationships; how to start healing relationships by admitting our role in the problems; the role good communication plays in relationships that work; dealing with dysfunctional family relationships; what to do when desired relationships continuously don’t happen; why the most important labor in our lives is working on our relationships; and the basis of all relationships, from the greatest to the smallest.

Samuel’s focus for this evening is the topic of time and the ways we use and misuse it. The discussions include: why the two activities that take up most of our life are also the two largest causes of our problems; the importance of sleeping and dreaming; tips for sleeping better; methods for changing our perspective of jobs we don’t like; why enjoyable free time is important; how consciously using our time can help our physical body and stimulate our mental self; finding the balance between giving to others and giving to self; ways loving our form can help us create a more enjoyable life; how consciously acting with love feeds our spirit; and the gift of using time in a way that makes us proud of ourselves.

During this meeting Samuel’s topics of discussion include: creating opportunity out of chaos; two vital issues that encompass our lives; a simple exercise to help troubled areas in the world; and the importance of determining what we can do to help bring about positive change in the world.
