Refrain:
Feed and nourish your body.
Sow good seed in your mind.
Water and nurture the Spirit
That gives your being life.
You’re a tree of plenty,
The only one of your kind.
So live a fruitful lifetime,
And feed your body and mind.
1. Give your body the food and sleep
And comfort that you really need.
The Spirit deep inside will show you what and when and how.
Let your body be itself,
Don’t push too hard and take its health,
‘Cause every single cell is precious! Start your living now!
And
Refrain:
2. Give your mind some quiet time
And thinking that will help it thrive.
The Spirit deep inside will show you who and why and where.
Let your mind imagine things,
The best that you could ever be,
And paint your brightest mental picture! Take a risk and dare!
And
Refrain:
3. Plant your roots within the Truth,
And let that Essence flow through you.
The Spirit deep inside will show you all you need to know.
Let each person on their path,
And stay on yours, remember that.
And let the love and light and laughter blossom as you go!
And
Refrain:
Live a fruitful lifetime,
And feed, feed your body and mind.
Happy Easter! May the blessings of the Resurrection be with you, now and in any moment!

1. In every trial
And extra mile,
Through all the while,
The peace in knowing;
In His Presence be still.
And every day
There is a way
To be ok
And feel the blessing
Of the Power that heals.
Refrain:
2. There is a Word
That isn’t heard,
But it is stirred
So deep inside us
By the Spirit of Love.
So much to be
And do and see
When we believe
Upon the living
Christ and Father above!
Refrain:
We may be with Him
In Paradise!
Refrain:
For Christ is risen!
And hope is given
That we may live in
Paradise!
Safe in His keeping,
Waking and sleeping,
Laughing and weeping,
He is our Light!
1. Look at all the animals
Spinning round and round.
Take a ride on one
Till you get dizzy and fall down.
And keep your arms and hands inside
This crazy merry-go-round.
Refrain:
2. Feelings in a turmoil,
Thoughts are whirling fast.
Burning self-delusion,
Hurried future, worried past.
Hang on and find the Center,
‘Cause this ride will never last.
Refrain:
3. Look at all the animals,
Two of every kind.
Thoughts are just alike
And find each other in the mind.
So lift up all your thinking,
And let Spirit be your guide.
Refrain: (Twice)
When we are still, the miracle will set us flying free.
Refrain:
You see the hub
That keeps this thing a-turnin’ ’round, turnin’ ’round?
The solid core
That holds it up and never lets it down?
That Spirit’s real and turns the wheel for you and me.
When we are still, the miracle will set us flying free.
1. I thought I knew so many things when I was young,
But knew in part and understood just pieces of the One.
Yet the Love that brought us here in Spirit always will remain,
The greatest gift of ages that will never fail or change.
Refrain:
2. I see a dim reflection of a perfect place,
A veil over a mirror, but in Heaven face to face.
And as time is moving onward and the bless’ed Kingdom comes,
We feel the purest Presence of eternity in Love.
Refrain:
3. Without it we are nothing by ourselves alone.
In God we can discern the Truth and know as we are known.
Everything we see will all be gone, but there’s no need to fear.
The Love of our Creator is embracing us right here.
Refrain: (Twice)
God’s Love within our Spirit is the Light that never fades.
Refrain:
And may Love keep playing on the strings of our hearts,
Because Its sweet vibration is the ending and the start.
And even though the world we know will someday pass away,
The Love within our Spirit is the Light that never fades.

Dance, get up and dance!
Move your body joyfully and prance!
Feel your body lighten and your mind freed at last
As you dance, get up and dance!

Figure-eights, and circles too.
Back and forth and side to side,
Harmony surrounding you.

Refrain 1 & 2:
A mystical nod to the virgin Mary within each of us – that part of us that is complete unto itself and untouched by human experiences.
Hail Mary, hail! Once blessed in the name of God; twice blessed in the name of Holy Breath; thrice blessed in the name of Christ; for you are worthy, and will bear a son who shall be called Immanuel.
–Aquarian Gospel 2:15
Instrument: Brio – Red Cedar Concert Ukulele
Refrain:
Hail Mary! You are worthy.
Bless’ed are you, precious one,
In the name of God the father,
Holy Breath, and Christ the son.
1. Virgin Mary, blameless one,
You will bear a saving son.
For the word within you dwells;
God with us, Immanuel.
Refrain:
2. All of those who walk in Light
Bear the Savior called the Christ.
Mary is the willing soul
Where the birth of Christ unfolds.
Refrain:
This last song of 2015 is a reminder that regardless of others’ opinions or what any divination tool “predicts,” your own answers come from the God Presence within you. There is One Presence, One Power, One Spirit that speaks through many voices! But the still, small voice within is the gentle, guiding Light of the soul.
Instrument: Brio – Red Cedar Concert Ukulele
1. To angels, saints and holy ones,
We tell the things we wish were done.
From psychics, readers, seers galore,
We ask for answers, help, and more.
Refrain 1:
We hold these tales in heart and mind,
When Truth is all we seek to find.
We look to small, conditioned things,
When God alone fulfillment brings.
2. We read the book and take the class,
But self-help never seems to last.
We go to therapy and spend
Our time and energy to mend.
Refrain 1:
3. We want our friends to keep us strong
And kids to pass our values on.
We think romance will fill our soul,
That home and job will make us whole.
Refrain 1:
4. O seek the God within your heart,
The You that’s real, the knowing part.
Let living water quench your thirst;
Let go of every fear and hurt.
Refrain 2:
Release these tales of heart and mind;
The truth you seek is here inside,
Beyond the small, conditioned things,
Where God alone fulfillment brings.
In Metaphysics/Mysticism Christmas celebrates the birth of Christ within each of us. It is an inner experience that, whether quickly or slowly to our perception, creates lasting outer changes. We use daily meditation as a tool for becoming more conscious of Christ-within.
In short, we celebrate the inner meaning of the outer Christmas story. We can still enjoy Christmas carols and other traditions! Because underlying each one is the joyful birth of our own Christ Mind awareness.
I illustrate this, and Christ as Love, with this song and scripture.
John 1:1-17 (KJV)
Bold added for Emphasis
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

Given to us from above, above.
Love your God over earth, earth,
And everyone as yourself, yourself.
Love everyone as yourself.

The father’s Word of Light, Light.
We were made in his Grace, Grace,
So let it shine in your face, your face.
O let it shine in your face.

3. Ever simple and true, true,
Christ alive within you, you.
Glory made manifest, manifest,
In us the Word was made flesh, made flesh.
In us the Word was made flesh.
Refrain:
love, it’s all because of love.
Refrain:
Because the world was made in love
By Christ and father God
To start and end as one.
It’s all because of love, love.
It’s all because of love.

A way to give encouragement
And share the best of you.
With a simple smile, saying,
“I am in this, too.”
O there is always something you can do.

A fuller cup, a cheering up
By letting others see.

So plant that tiny seed.
O there is always something you receive.

A joyful spark to light the heart
Of everyone you meet.
Your smile tells the story
Of a Spirit that is free.
