Living In Solution Class
Daily Themes (one of our June class assisnment)
Join the Living In Solution Gang as we greet our day with daily intentions. Share your feedback with us if you are so inclined, some pretty powerful stuff happens when we focus our attention and our intention! Have fun!
Mondays – Go With The Flow Day
“In whatever way you can today, go with the flow. Do not resist or oppose. Do not control. Proceed through your day without expectations. The world seems to be a huge entity and you a very small one. But in truth the world is flowing from you. You are its source. To realize that truth, you must start to live as if it is true.
“You can think of this as an input-output exercise. When you operate out of a belief that the real world ‘out there’ is pushing against you, your mental input manifests as obstacles, resistance and struggle. But if you operate from the belief that you are the source and the world is secondary, then events will move smoothly, with time and room to spare. Solutions to problems will begin to come effortlessly.
Tuesdays – Present Moment Awareness Day
Experience the present moment.
“Right now, the present moment is full for you, but in an unreal way. It is full of memories, expectations, projected beliefs, and past conditioning. The present moment could be full in a different, far more real way, through the qualities listed …
Alertness—being awake.
Openness—or being free from expectations.
Freshness—not being overshadowed by the past.
Innocence—not judging from old experience.
Spontaneity—allowing new impulses to come in without criticism or censorship.
Fearlessness—the absence of traumas from the past.
Replenishing—the capacity to renew oneself from within.”
Let your focus on being full with the present moment be on the above today!
Wednesdays – Powerful Prayer Day
Jesus said “Ask, and you will receive.” In the book the Third Jesus he tells us:
This may seem to be one of Jesus’ most extravagant promises. We have all asked and not received. To find out what Jesus actually meant, then, we have to answer a few questions: Who is asking? Where is the request going? Whom does it reach? For most people, the asking comes from the ego, with its unending stream of desires. The request is going out into empty space or to vaguely remembered God from childhood. The receiver of the request is unknown.
“What this means is that asking and receiving are disconnected. Indeed, they must be, because in everyday awareness the world is separate from us and fragmented into millions of isolated events. However, at a deeper level, everything is unified and whole. When you ask for anything, the One is asking the One, God is asking God. And there is always a response.
Practice “asking” in a new way today. Let having a prayerful heart be your priority today but “Learn to ask in a new way, by expecting every wish to bring a response. Take the attitude expressed by the Persian poet Rumi: ‘Ask all of yourself.’ The mechanics of giving and receiving are inside you. Therefore, the next time you desire something, go through the following steps:
- Express the desired outcome to yourself clearly.
- Detach yourself from your request after you make it.
- Take an undemanding attitude to the outcome.
- Be open to whatever response the universe gives back.
- Know that there is always a response.
“In this case, ‘response’ doesn’t mean a yes or no from God. There is no judge deciding whether you are worthy or not. Those perceptions were born of separation…In the state of separation that his followers experienced, many thoughts seemed to get no response. To restore it required a new sense of self. Jesus repeatedly teaches that ‘you are in God, and God is in you.’ Gradually, we can begin to experience this truth, and one of the best ways is by observing how our prayers are answered. The ways are often subtle, and they change…
“By being open and alert to these responses, some of which are inner and other outer, you escape the dichotomy of ‘God healed me’ and God didn’t heal me.’” Also keep in mind when you treat to claim what you REALLY want such as peace, love, harmony, and happiness rather than things.
Thursdays – Judge Nothing Day
Experience at least 20 minutes of designated silence today; no radio, phone, TV or other distractions. Meditate twice as long as normal today.
Practice non-judgment. “Today I shall judge nothing that occurs.”
Fridays – Giving Day
Give something to each person you meet today; a compliment, a smile, or a silent prayer affirming their good. Be a generous receiver, graciously receiving gifts from nature and gifts from other people. Accept compliments and gifts without denying your worthiness.
Saturdays – Conscious Choice Day
In your choice making, ask your heart for guidance and be guided by the message of comfort or discomfort you feel in your body. Follow your intuition as you make decisions consciously even if you can’t explain WHY you are choosing it.
Sundays – Synchronicity Day
Be OPEN and Expect “God Winks” from the Universe today. Look for synchronicity today, stalk it, be open to an outpouring of so much synchronicity in your life that it will make you stop and say “WOW!” This means being alert and aware and really LOOKING for it at every turn, knowing with ever glimpse of synchronicity that it is a God Wink of Good showing up for you somehow. Accept it before you even know HOW this is for you, just know that it is and watch the demonstrations unfold.

A year long experience of going deeper into the soul’s journey
This is a journey of personal mastery that guides the students in living life in alignment with their personal truth, from a peaceful place of trusting life and guided by the universal inner guidance system that is fueled by love. The class will meet for 13 consecutive months in a retreat style setting. These day retreats are constructed to include journaling, meditation, class sharing, partner exercises, silence, movement and creativity. Each month we will cover a new topic that builds on the previous class. The evolutionary nature of the class is a vital component and therefore students are asked to complete an interview to ask and answer questions and ensure that this commitment is in harmony with each student.
This class was created and will be facilitated by Rev. Christy Snow of the Spiritual Living Center of Charlotte. Rev. Christy has led two other yearlong classes of this nature here in Charlotte in addition to day retreats in cities nationwide since 2002. She is currently in the process of writing a book by the same title and is thrilled to share her information and life experience of living life fully in this powerful class. Please call Rev. Christy if you have questions concerning your potential involvement in this class and to schedule your interview. The spiritual investment for this class of $5 per day, can be paid in monthly payments of $150 or one payment $1650 (if paid in full by July 1st).
Living in self love and self responsibility is a powerful way to contribute to a loving, positive and peaceful planet. Expand your capacity to do this by engaging in spiritual practices with your Living In Solution Community each month!
