When most people think of prayer, they think of asking God for something. Not so in Unity.

​

An affirmation is a statement of truth we use as an anchor for our mind. Just as we know the sun is always shining behind a cloudy sky, we can know the truth about wholeness, abundance, and harmony, while moving through illness, financial strain, and disharmony.

​

We recognize that wholeness, abundance, and harmony are examples of ways we can describe the power of God. That power, we realize in prayer, is the power within us as well as around us. In prayer, we begin to see that we are therefore not powerless; in fact, we are powerfully able to cooperate with the ideal of wholeness, abundance, and harmony.

​

Myrtle Fillmore, whose practice of prayer led to the Unity methods, said:

This is our method of prayer: acknowledging our oneness with God, claiming the ability that this gives, and expecting to have the things needed and conducive to spiritual progress.

-Myrtle Fillmore’s Healing Letters

My spiritual growth has unfolded throughout my life. I began as a child in a conservative Baptist Church, then moved through the Presbyterian and Methodist church. I questioned the dogma, yet, grew in my spirituality along the way. When I first entered a Unity church in 2003, I started to fly, I was home. From there, I have taken the Prayer Leaders class in two Unity churches. 

I became a Reiki practicioner, progressed through the highest classes, which is Karuna III. Reiki is a hands-on energy healing and is a passion for me. I feel Reiki is Love flowing through the giver. 

I spent 25 years as a Marriage Family Therapist. This skill and gift paired with Reiki is very useful in my spiritual service to others. 

​

I hold after service sessions on Sunday morning in the prayer room.

My idea for the after-service session is to send Reiki as we conduct prayer or simply talk. We will also sit in silence and meditate if we feel led in that direction.

I am grateful to serve our community in this way.
