Open Yourself to Receive.

-

In today's fast-paced world, getting caught up in the never-ending cycle of giving, consuming, and doing is easy. We often neglect our needs and forget to create space for receiving the blessings life offers. This workshop aims to shift our perspective and guide us toward a more balanced and harmonious approach to living by opening to receptive states of being.

Here are some of the key spiritual benefits we can expect to gain from this two-hour workshop:

·       Identifying What You Want To Receive More Of:  We will spend time shifting our mindset from what is missing to opening ourselves to the infinite possibilities that surround us. This shift in consciousness will positively impact our personal lives, interactions with others, and contributions to society.

·       Nurturing Receptive States of Being: We will identify receptive states of being and tune into them to increase our awareness of receiving. Attendees will be encouraged to develop a 30-day practice of focusing on receptive states.

·       Releasing Limiting Beliefs: We will explore blocks that may be preventing us from being in a state of receptivity.

·       Cultivating Gratitude: We will be encouraged to develop an attitude of gratitude, acknowledging and appreciating the blessings we receive in our lives. Gratitude opens the door to the laws of circulation and allows us to experience joy and contentment.

Participating in this workshop can create a ripple effect of positive change within our relationships, workplace, and beyond. By aligning ourselves with the universal flow of giving and receiving, we can inspire and uplift others, fostering collaboration, support, and shared success.

I invite you to join me in this heart-opening journey of opening yourself to receive that is coming up soon! I wanted to let you know about it so you can make a date to spend two hours with me.

The workshop is on Sunday, April 26 at 1 to 3 pm in the sanctuary.

If you want to attend, please watch our website for registration information. We will make registration available four weeks before the class so that we can make the necessary arrangements. 

My blessings to you

Edward Viljoen

Rewriting the Rules of the Game of Life

-

Some rules were made to be rewritten. Especially the ones you didn’t know you were following. Most of us live by silent rules. Be successful. Don’t fail. Stay in control. Look good doing it. We didn’t necessarily choose these rules; they were handed to us by family, culture, and experience. What if we could choose differently? In Self-Mastery through Self-Inquiry , we take time to look at the “game” of life we’ve been playing. What are the hidden rules? What are we trying to win? And is it actually working? This course invites you to redefine the game as an evolving journey toward wisdom, creativity, and deeper fulfillment. Join us Mondays, July 1 through August 19, 6–8 pm, online or in person at the Center. Taught by Edward Viljoen with guest teaching from Rev. Russ Legear. Registration at www.cslsr.org.  Questions?

Help for Today  is a four-week class based on  Help for Today  by Ernest Holmes and William D. Hornaday, offering clear, usable spiritual guidance for navigating personal and collective challenges in a complex world.

Designed for a mixed audience, this course emphasizes real-life application, personal insight, and ethical engagement with the world around us.  Registration here:   Help for Today Week One – Creating a Better World This chapter begins with a simple but demanding idea: the world we experience is shaped first in consciousness before it appears in conditions.

Interrupting the Spiral: A Practical Workshop on the Impact of Negative Thinking

Have you ever found yourself caught in a spiral of negative thoughts—those quiet narratives that seem to repeat themselves louder with every turn? You're not alone. This Sunday at 1 pm, I’m leading a short, practical workshop at the Center for Spiritual Living Santa Rosa that takes a clear-eyed look at how negative thinking affects our health, our relationships, and the way we meet life’s challenges. We’ll draw from psychological insight, spiritual awareness, and lived experience to explore the deeper impact of our inner dialogue—and what we can do to shift it. This isn’t about forced positivity. It’s about learning how to pause, observe, and choose again. Here are a few things you’ll walk away with: A simple method for reframing persistent negative thoughts without denying your feelings. A brief review of the mind-body connection —how thoughts affect your nervous system and energy levels. A grounded introduction to growth mindset —why it matters, and how it applies to...
