Welcome Home!

Center for Spiritual Living - Redding provides spiritual tools to transform our personal lives and help make the world a better place.

Center for Spiritual Living is a spiritual community and way of life that honors all paths to God and helps people to discover a personal relationship with God. When God is the focus of our spirituality, then other areas of our lives fall into place—we are happier, we can do more for others, be better stewards of the Earth, and bring peace and harmony to the world.

We extend a warm welcome to all people in search of a spiritual community where they are embraced, respected, and accepted for who they are and inspired and supported to grow to their highest potential.

No matter where you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome here.

Are you feeling alone, lost, empty or disconnected? Are you in crisis? Are you lacking fulfillment, looking for answers, healing, and a spiritual home?

At Center for Spiritual Living, you will belong to a like-minded community, a spiritual home, where you can discoverpeace of mind, healing, and inspiration, and live with a personal relationship with God. We look forward to meeting you in person! »

September Peace Practice

“May I dwell in the heart…May I be free from suffering…May I be healed…May I be at peace…”
~~ Stephen Levine

The opportunity is before us to walk on holy ground. The Labyrinth offers us the possibility to nurture ourselves spiritually. It is the walk that calls us back to the center of our being. As you prepare to step into the practice, take a moment to center yourself on the intention of your experience. Take a breath and look around. Be mindful of the environment and offer a prayer of intention. Then surrender as you step forward and begin the journey that takes you inward and then into the edges of your mind. The path has been prepared with great love and devotion. Trust in your walk as you navigate each curve and turn. The path itself will guide you and calm you. Find your pace and surrender to the process. Take time to process your insights and walk without expectation. Just be present and know that Peace Is... Please join us as we celebrate the dedication of the Labyrinth to the community on Friday, September 24, 2010, at 7:30 PM.

Blessings,
Rev. Sue MillerBorn.

September 2010
Ministers' Message

“Pushed by Pain
or Pulled by a Vision?”

Another summer comes to a close as we prepare for cooler evenings, shorter days, and friendly gatherings. Our Center meets the change of seasons with many wonderful activities as varied as the weather. Harvest Magic with pumpkin pie, Namaste Café, a giant parking lot sale, meetings to celebrate our Wisdom Keepers, Sabbath services, Labyrinth Dedication, Grace and Ease Mini-Retreat, to name a few of the happenings in September and October. Folks have begun signing up for the many Science of Mind classes that bathe spiritual seekers with love, wisdom, and a richer understanding of life.

Remember, we can either be pushed by pain, or pulled by a vision. Most of us find ourselves pushed around by the pain of life’s unpleasant surprises. What we learn in our classes is the power of a new vision of ourselves and the way we could be enjoying life. When we focus on our vision we are activating the spiritual laws that bring them to fruition. Which creates the state of mind we enjoy….massaging the pain or imagining the vision? I think we all know the answer to that question!

It is easy to get lost in the whirlwind of activities the fall season blows our way. It is important to take a breath, slow down, and approach each moment knowing that it is a gift from the Source of our creation. It is important to remember that our purpose is to experience love and spread joy, encouragement, and understanding to all. This is a mission easily lost in the business of life.

Remember as many times a day as possible while engaged in your activities to love yourself and each other. We look forward to sharing this amazing season of autumn with you.

Namaste,

Bob & Judith
