Harmonious Integration With Others

What does harmonious integration look like? What does it feel like? We are called to live in harmony and peace with each other on this planet. Oneness is our natural state of being, but somewhere in our human development, we have learned to separate, divide and try to conquer each other. The Yogic principles and practices of the Yamas teach us the power of Oneness. Gaia, our Ancestors, Gurus, and Shamans are calling forth healing. This is the time to remember the principles of UNITY!

Transcript

And welcome.

My name is Skip Jennings.

I'm an Agape licensed spiritual practitioner and transformational coach.

This is a contemplative meditation.

We contemplate thoughts as we listen and we embrace the downloads.

This meditation is focusing on the Yamas.

The Yamas are a yogic principle and practice.

Harmonious integration with others.

So I invite you to get comfortable seated or lying down.

I want to embrace a erect long body if we're seated or a long relaxed body if we're laying down.

Close your eyes and just follow your breath.

In this meditation,

We will contemplate five principles of the Yamas.

Set out the outer noise and open up the inner ear.

Close the outer eyes and open up the third eye.

Before we begin,

I would like to evoke the ancestors.

The ones who have come before us.

Our teachers,

Our gurus,

Our avatars,

Our guides.

We open up a space to learn.

So let's contemplate our first Yama.

Ahimsa.

Nonviolence or non-harming.

Have we been gentle with ourselves?

Have we been kind in how we speak to ourselves or about ourselves?

Have we taken care of our bodies?

Have we been loving kind to ourselves?

Have we been kind to others?

Have we been gentle in how we've interacted in the grocery store,

On the streets,

As we drive?

Non-harming or non-violence begins with ourselves and spreads and radiates to others.

Satya.

Truthfulness.

Have we been honest with ourselves when we speak?

Have we been truthful with what we see and what we think?

Have we spoke truthfulness to others?

Are we honest with how we feel about ourselves,

About the situation?

Truth.

Bustaya.

Non-stealing or non-stealing.

Have I honored my time or have I wasted it?

Have I stolen valuable time of learning?

Have I been honest in my interactions with others?

Have I wasted their time?

Have I stolen other dreams from other people?

Have I encouraged or have I diminished hopes?

Apari rahah.

Non-possessiveness.

Am I possessing something that is not mine?

Am I attaching to thoughts that no longer serve?

Am I attaching to unforgiveness?

Am I attached to the outcome of any situation?

Brahmacharya.

The maintenance of vitality.

Have I conserved my energy or have I just given it away to those who do not deserve?

Have I maintained a sense of reverence of my body,

My mind,

My energy?

Have I participated in a way that uplifts my frequency?

Have I supported others in the place of uplifting their energy?

Take a deep breath in.

A big exhale.

So begin to bring your awareness back into the space that you're in.

Begin to open your eyes and begin to be aware of the space and the life you live.

And listen as I bless our session.

So beginning in gratitude,

And love,

And the highest appreciation for this time together.

As we continue to contemplate our harmonious integration with others,

We recognize there is only one and we are the unique emanation of the one.

And as we connect with ourselves and remember to love,

We embrace each other.

So I'm grateful for this moment,

Grateful for this time,

And grateful for this contemplative meditation.

And so it is.

Amen.

Reviews

I had the pleasure of participating in a workshop with Rev. Skip with Unity’s Eastern Region. He was a great presenter and now I know that he leads beautiful meditations. The background music was soothing, as is Rev. Skip’s voice and his words are empowering.

Simply wonderful 💚 Massive connection to your beautiful words 💚 Many blessings to you for sharing 🙏💚🙏

Good for grounding and reframing during a challenging time for me. Excellent pace and content flow. Warm thanks for this practice. 🙏🏻

Thank you Rev Skip. Calming and insightful. Feeling peaceful after this 🙏🏻💗

Thank you for this lovely meditation. I look forward to coming back to listen again 🙏🏽

Beautiful and again I feel lighter laying down what’s not mine to carry-

Thank you for this meditation and guidance on contemplation!

I truly appreciate the message about, “Maintenance of Vitatality”. Thank you 🙏🏼

Very nice! Thought provoking questions. Thank you.🙏

Thank you Rev Skip! You have always kept me lifted up anytime I listen to you and your on time message!
One thing I could help correlating is that I just learned of Michael Bernard Beckwith a few days ago. It seems you both are at Agape. I only ever learned of the school through Michael and here you are sharing that you are there. Is it that small of a community when you start caring about yourself more or is this divinity? Either way or both, I’m so excited for my day. Thanks again! 🙏🏾🌸🙏🏾

Well spoken. Your message is resonating within me this morning and I’ll carry it with me through my day
Thanks 🙏

Perfect pace and internal check in and inventory that affords the opportunity to recognize where we've done well and gently examine where we can do better. First time I used the journal feature and rarely write reviews beyond stars.

And I DEFINITELY liked the music as it carried me to a trance-like state where I didn't overthink my shortcomings, just acknowledged them without judgement which is the whole point right?! I can't grow if I don't have awareness, but I'm also stuck if I beat myself up.

Love you Rev Skip. Thank you. I needed this, and it came to me.

I have listened to this meditation a few times. Each time, an idea comes through to help me grow. Thank you, Rev Skip, for sharing this meditation.

I've listened so many times and each time I find a new area of my life and spiritual self to work on. Gratitude. 🌸

I love anything that Rev. Skip presents. I have not been disappointed ever.

You have opened up another door to explore and practice to become a better me for myself and other beings. Thank you for the meditation I feel it was very vital to my existence Much more to learn 🙏❤

Thank you, this was just what I needed to go forth. I will bookmark and dig deeper. 🌻

Basic Buddhist principles that can be embraced by all.

Thank you Rev Skip. I always feel your spirit when listening to your message.
