Aloha,

I'm Reverend Cindy Palos,

And I was thinking about spirit.

In spirit is inspiration inspired.

It's that spirit within and it's that spirit that is very mysterious.

Spirit is the field of energy that carries the presence of God.

It's an amazing thing really.

I mean there's this awesome energy field,

This presence of God,

Unconditional love and light that holds all of creation.

And then from that,

How spirit comes to be alive in you through the soul.

It's an amazing gift and one that is ephemeral.

Now you can call on spirit.

I do.

You probably do too.

When you breathe,

You're breathing in spirit.

Breathe in that spirit right now,

Feel that spirit,

Call upon that spirit.

Let that spirit come to you right now.

Spirit is an amazingly beautiful thing.

I can feel it in the wind.

Have you ever felt a spirit wind?

A spirit wind is so strong and it has an energy field.

It's alive.

It's not just this thing.

It's a living force.

I can feel the spirit that can be called mana here in Hawaii,

In the oceans,

The waters,

Even the rocks.

Every living thing also has this spirit.

And the spirit in humans is quite an amazing thing.

It's the living energy of God in form.

So it's really a gift to be able to connect with your spirit.

Now when you die,

The spirit hangs around the body for a while.

Sometimes they say up to three to five days.

But that spirit has no longer energy within the body.

It's free of the body.

And that spirit moves on.

Once the body is no longer there and it's not tied to it,

The spirit moves on with the soul to its source.

The source is where it came from.

The source is where it returns to.

So spirit is an amazing thing that we really can benefit from by understanding,

By calling upon it,

By recognizing the gift that spirit brings.

And it's funny because we say,

Well,

I love horseback riding,

But if you have a horse that's high spirited,

It means it has a lot of energy,

Right?

If you're feeling in high spirits,

What does that mean?

A higher reality,

You're feeling good.

You're connected.

But spirit also has its own flight.

I wrote this poem I'm going to read you called Spirit's Flight.

The soul in spirit flies so free,

Not held to this time in space.

The golden light of heaven guides you to a brighter place and an amazing grace,

A way to be totally awake.

And when the dream is all played out and it's time for you to move along,

You'll be with those you've known before,

Who've left and await you at heaven's gate.

Sweet,

So sweet,

The golden light that shines as heaven above.

You were here and now it's time to move into a greater love.

So journey on with joy and say goodbye and shed that tear.

Express the gratefulness you felt for sharing the love given while you were here.

Forgive those who have done you harm and see the bigger picture at work.

As you prepare to move along to a greater adventure waiting there.

The soul has so much more to show,

So don't be afraid to let this dream just go.

For the spirit's poised to fly on high to heaven's shore where you came from and you will find that joy.

That presence of spirit is an amazing spark.

And you have a deep connection to that spirit.

And that spirit has that presence that can guide you along the way.

In the word aloha,

Which we use daily here in Hawai'i,

There is that presence of spirit.

There is that living presence of spirit that you're recognizing inside you and inside others.

And indeed namaste greets others spirit,

That light within them,

That presence that shines so brightly within them.

And when you bow to someone,

You're bowing to who they really are,

Their spirit,

That love inside them.

And when you bow to yourself,

Do you bow to your highest self?

Can you allow that presence of spirit to be embodied in you,

Heart and soul?

I'm going to read one more poem I wrote about spirit called Song of Spirit.

Breath of life,

Bring my soul to me.

Let your very presence be carried to my being,

Carried on the song of spirit.

Let my heart be lifted high into the light of all creation.

Let me embrace my entire self so that I can reflect your making.

Song of spirit sing to my soul.

Fill me with your presence.

Song of spirit whisper the words that tell me of your essence.

Let the breath of God fill my life and merge with the place I dwell in,

Bring all of your heavenly grace into this paradise on earth you've been given.

Let me hear sweet heaven song,

For I need to lift my heart up to the divine.

The world is weary and it seems sometimes we can drift into depression and then we don't see that beautiful spirit that can inspire us.

And let us be the sweet,

Sweet love that God's dove carries across the sky.

Song of spirit sing strong and clear and with your song the blessings will appear.

So I'd like to do a little meditation on spirit.

It's a good thing to ask spirit and receive that spirit into your meditation.

And you can feel it.

You can sense that energy.

Sometimes you can see it in certain lights when you close your eyes.

So breathe in deeply and be relaxed.

Let's breathe the breath of spirit for a couple of minutes here and just be open to receive that highest Holy Spirit into our very being.

Breathing deeply in,

Holding for a couple of seconds,

One,

Two,

Three,

Four and breathing out,

Allowing that spirit to energize and renew and restore us and come into our head and surround our head with light,

Come into our throat and our chest and our heart of hearts.

The spirit likes to be perched in your heart of hearts.

For it's love there,

That purchase made from love.

And that purchase a wonderful place to dwell in your heart.

Breathe in the light of that love right now.

Breathe it deeply in and hold it and now breathe it out and go into your heart.

Dwell in that place within that love.

Deep,

Deep,

Deep inside your heart.

Find that perch where you can dwell.

And give great thanks for this amazing spirit of love in your heart.

Breathing it in,

Breathing it out.

And now let's call in the light of your soul that knows your spirit so well.

The soul knows your spirit song,

It knows your spirit's energy,

It knows your spirit's frequency.

Your soul carries your spirit there within you.

Breathe in the light of your soul spirit.

Dwell there in that light.

Be still and know that you are God.

For that spirit there within you comes from God.

It is your connection to the one source of all love and light.

Receive that beautiful spirit.

Feel the embrace of that spirit around your whole being.

Your body,

Your mind,

Your soul all lit by spirit's fire right now.

Ahhh.

Breathe that spirit in deeply.

Feel it.

Thank God for that amazing spirit within you that gives you that precious energy of all light and love.

Feel that light of all lights and that love of all loves in that spirit.

And feel yourself connected by spirit to all in oneness.

Feel that connection of all of the universe,

All of the stars,

All of the earth,

All of the beings on the earth that also have that spirit of life within them.

Send that spirit your love,

Your gratitude.

For that spirit gives you so much inspiration,

So much guidance,

So much light.

So thank you spirit and thank you God.

Thank you for this wonderful energy of mana,

This power of life,

This gift of spirit here present now.

And feel yourself now restored and renewed and say thank you and slowly come back into your body and just breathe that energy in and feel how good it feels to be connected to that spirit.

A mama,

A mama,

Oo and no other.

Prayer is freed.

Thank you God.

And thank you each and everyone for listening.

Much gratitude for you being here.

God bless you always.
