The Empowerment of Inner Freedom

Loving greetings and may you have a memorable July 4th on this special day in American history!

In addition to delicious bar-b-ques and fireworks, July 4th can serve to encourage us to contemplate what it means to practice authentic freedom in our daily lives. To support us in this process, our theme of the month is “The Empowerment of Inner Freedom.” Inner freedom gifts us with the empowerment to make choices aligned with our true essence, based on who we truly are as an individualized expression of Spirit. So if you’re open and ready for a journey into self-trust, then join us each Sunday as together we celebrate everyday as an independence day.

Peace and richest blessings always,
Rev. Pam

Sunday Topics:

July 03   Freedom from the Fear of Fear – Rev. Pam
Most of us relate to fear as an enemy from which we wish to immediately escape. Yet when we train ourselves to pause in the midst of fear, take a conscious breath and remind ourselves we live our life with the full support of the Universe, we learn to work with rather than struggle against challenging emotions, feelings and events, thus freeing us from their grip.

July 10   Freedom from Worry and Lack – Rev. Pam
As the sage Mark Twain reminds us, “I’ve had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened.” When it feels like the bottom is falling out, remember that this is why we have a spiritual practice that teaches us to “drop the false belief” and return to the Truth that we are a spiritual being having a human experience, that we are whole and complete just as we are.

July 17   Freedom from Self-Ambushing Mind Chatter – Rev. Pam
Although inner emotional ambushes can cause us to parachute into blame, shame or guilt, we don’t need to beat ourselves up when they occur. Instead, we can slow down and ask, “What am I practicing?”, and with kindness shift to a practice of compassionate inner conversation that affirms our true nature and thereby paves a new pathway of freedom from mind chatter.

July 24   Freedom from Doubt by Embracing Trust – Rev. Pam
Our trust in Spirit is our trust in our Self. Once we honor and embrace our unbreakable connectedness to Spirit, it becomes the rock-bottom foundation of our trust. Each of us possess trust–it is embedded in our spirit, our DNA and neurons. This Sunday we will explore how to let this inborn heart-soul quality express in, through, and as us.

July 31   Freedom from Ego’s Control – Rev. Pam
“No is not the opposite of yes, control is.” These wise words of therapist and author, David Richo remind us that the need to control is not a genuine need but instead a false belief that if we don’t take control our needs will not be met. The spiritual power in releasing control moves us into experiencing the unconditional trustworthiness of Spirit as the source of “all needs are met.”
