1.16.16 Meditation: Anne Marie Serre, IT Consultant

Bethany October 25, 2022

Today, I am talking with Anne-Marie Serre, an IT consultant who has been an amazing help to the Albany Peace Project!  Anne-Marie has contributed in so many ways – we are extremely grateful for her infectious enthusiasm, her technical assistance, and her creative ideas.
In this interview, Anne Marie discusses the APP Certified Meditation Leaders program she established with Jerry Petell. Together, they created a basic meditation leadership program that only requires two evenings of formal training, and some dedicated homework. With the benefit of Anne-Marie’s and Jerry’s decades of mindfulness experience, the program certified 18 (!) new meditation leaders this year.

You have seen some of those newly certified meditation leaders share the benefits of their training in our meditation series this year. We would always appreciate more leaders, and we welcome the opportunity to help our volunteers develop new skills and accelerate their personal growth. If you are interested in participating,  please let us know!

As an IT professional, Anne Marie experiences a substantial amount of stress in her job, and her meditation practice helps her maintain a calm presence in difficult situations. She will be offering her best mindfulness techniques in a unique class, “Mindfulness for Busy People”, on Wednesday, January 20 at 7:00 at Unity Church of Albany. For more information about this special Numinous program, please view the details below the meditation.

In this meditation, Anne-Marie asks us to stretch a little. She asks us to pause and offer peace to those people we see in the newspaper who commit criminal acts, and that we may want to pass judgement on. She gently invites us to see our own light and darkness, so that we are more likely to see the dark and light in others.

Mindfulness For Busy People
Anne-Marie Serre, IT Specialist/Corporate Meditation Leader
Wednesday January 20 at 7:00 PM, Unity Church of Albany

This session will help you apply the transformative power of mindfulness to your busy life, helping you find the coherent calm space within you, as you focus yourself for whatever challenges you face.

Mindfulness is not mystical or magical, it is actually somewhat methodical.  There are basic techniques you can use to broaden your perceptions at any moment, which enables you to resource a much broader palette of elevated feelings, including greater joy, clarity and sustained well-being.

As an IT consultant, Anne-Marie Serre, has had to hone her ability to stay calm under pressure.  In this talk, she will share the best mindfulness techniques she has cherry picked to help us work gracefully under periods of intense stress.  She will discuss how mindfulness techniques do not actually take any “time” at all, because brief periods of mindfulness actually improves focus, energy, efficiency and creativity all which yield greater results in less time.

Programs are held weekly at Unity Church of Albany, 21 King Ave, Albany

Challenging Our Agreements, and How They Shape Us
Bryce Pullano, IT Specialist
Wednesday January 27 at 7:00 PM

One of the four agreements in the wildly successful book “The Four Agreements” by Don Miquel Ruiz, is “Don’t make assumptions.”

If we all took a moment to pause and consider how many assumptions we make in life, and how much these assumptions shape our destiny, we may become awestruck by their significance.   These realizations have the potential to be so profound, they may inspire us to make lasting change in our behavior, changes that can effect the entire trajectory of our lives.

In this talk, Bryce Pullano will ask us to challenge our most basic social contracts, and examine how much we assume things that simply are not be true at all.  He will help us expose these flimsy mirages for what they are, which can help us find the truth that we need to experience real-world growth. These non-truths are best eliminated, so that we can proceed confidently in life with clear unwavering vision that sustains us in times of darkness.  Come to this talk ready to challenge all areas of your life, and to mine new insights for positive change.

Spiritual Conversations For Men
Facilitated by Glenn Hogue & Tim Moon, MA – CASAC
Wednesday February 3 at 7:00 PM

Most spiritual programs are predominantly attended by women, which often causes women’s issues to be the focus of such programming.  However, at NUMINOUS, we wanted to provide new programs that would specifically support Men’s spiritual discoveries as they do the significant work of pioneering how to blend ancient spiritual teachings with contemporary culture’s expectations of masculinity.

This is critically important work, as we seem to be in a time in history when all sorts of established paradigms are falling.   The rugged individualism of the late 20th century is being challenged on all levels, especially in relationships. The traditional roles between male and female are also being blurred as well.

How do we maintain the integrity of our yang (masculine) energy while assimilating the gentler aspects of spirituality and still be effective in this world?   How do we learn how to connect, while maintaining our individual authenticity and truth?   Many of us have learned that we don’t need to do life alone, but we are unsure of how to skillfully include input from Spirit, women, and other men, without loosing connection with ourselves.

Learning how to skillfully partner, listen, and still assert our truth seems to be a huge piece of the mission of our generation of men. These Spiritual Conversations For Men will give us an opportunity to gain answers to the some of the most distracting questions of our lives.  In a quiet environment, we can safely discuss what matters to us most, and obtain invaluable insights from other men who have grappled with the same questions.  Through this exchange, we learn that we don’t have to do “life alone.”  Also, we learn how good it feels to be supported and to provide the same meaningful support for others.   These discussions offer us clarity and direction as we learn to connect, and yet still hold individual balance.

We are extremely fortunate to have Tim Moon, Counselor, and Fo Castle Owner/Operator Glenn Hogue facilitate these discussions.  These two have over 55 years of combined spiritual understandings to chart this prosperous territory.

Good morning…
Today you get to meet the wizard who works behind the curtain to ensure these emails get to your inbox by 5:00 AM sharp each day, Bryce Pullano.

Bryce offers much insight and creativity behind the scenes, and he is always up for new challenges!  His great heart and “can do spirit” (LOL – See clip from Big Bang Theory below…and see how we keep the mood light as we tackle the technical stuff) has helped move many APP projects along, all while we make each other laugh by sharing these video clips, and other geek humor.

In this interview, Bryce discusses how he experienced a violent crime at the very beginning of the first Albany Peace Project in 2014, and how it ignited his latent interest into the project.  At the end of that first month, he felt so renewed he was compelled to “give back.” He has been a wonderful support person to the project ever since that time.

As usual, Bryce came up with a unique perspective to incorporate into his meditation.  In this interview, we talk about how people are left with residual hurt after they suffer from a violent crime.  This gave us the idea for all of us to take a moment to acknowledge the hurts that we feel…and to literally shed light on them to gracefully cleanse and let them go after we have usurped their wisdom.

1.14.16 Meditation: Pam Lunz Medina, The Yoga Lily

She gently invites us to see our own light and darkness, so that we are more likely to see the dark and light in others.

I have never met a meditation I didn’t like!
There are so many different approaches to meditation, and it can often be helpful for people to cultivate a wide range of meditation tools. Practicing different techniques offers meditators several options to choose from, depending on the circumstances they are facing.

Sometimes, a verbal mantra approach is needed to balance our brain, but at other times we may require a more sensory based approach.  For some people, guided visualization works well to help reduce mental chatter, and for others pure silence does the trick. Each day, the winds of consciousness may guide us along our path differently. We can draw upon different meditation practices to to help with these changing situations, similar to the way a dentist selects a specific instrument for a particular procedure.

Pam Lunz Medina brings this topic to life in this interview.  It is so much fun introducing you to Pam Lunz Medina today.  Pam is such an exceptionally great human being.  She will often spontaneously reach out to support the Albany Peace Project, because she is so passionate about the mission.

In this video, Pam discusses the upcoming 8 week meditation course that she is offering through the Yoga Lily, starting February 16.  Her course would be a wonderful follow-up to the Albany Peace Project.   During the program, Pam will be introducing participants to a variety of different meditation techniques.

Pam is so enthusiastic about the Albany Peace Project, she is offering an exclusive discount to APP meditators, to encourage participation in the second half of January! Participants who email each of the remaining daily meditations to discount@theyogalily.com , beginning January 15th, will receive 15% off of any Yoga Lily program. This generous gift to APP contributors works similar to another APP special benefit – the 10-30%% discount for a float-session at requiescent.com, which rewards meditators for each meditation they send to floatationmeditationdiscount@juno.com.

If these meditations have been of benefit to you, please consider donating to APP, to help continue to grow this project moving forward.  There is still much work to do, and our efforts will have a measurably greater effect with greater support.

1.19.16 Meditation: Jerry Petell, MSW, Tai Chi Instructor.

Today, you will meet Rev. Crystal Muldrow, the new senior minister at Unity Church of Albany.  Rev. Crystal has a heart of great service as she holds three ordinations from both the Zen and Christian traditions.  She beautifully demonstrates how different faith traditions can blend seamlessly in one person.
I had a lot of fun chatting with Rev. Crystal both on and off camera as she shared her path with me.   I learned she was raised in the Unity tradition of practical Christianity, and how her mom piqued her interest in Buddhism by having her having read a texbook on World Religions to help Rev. Crystal overcome dyslexia.  Rev. Crystal also started her own ministry geared toward young adults.

Rev. Crystal has a gentle nonassuming presence, and she is looking forward to getting to know individuals in the Unity Community to learn what their vision is for Unity Church of Albany.

Today you get to meet Jerry Petell. Jerry has contributed greatly as an APP volunteer and mentor from the project’s beginning. His energy just puts you instantly at ease, and helps the group get things done while having fun. 

In this talk, Jerry shares some great insights he received from a week long meditation retreat he just experience in Costa Rica with some leaders in the mindfulness field.  As a Tai Chi teacher, Jerry is skilled at combining subtle energy practices along with meditation techniques through movement.  In this talk he also discusses a unique technique for stopping unwanted racing thoughts! 

 

Jerry and I got into such a lively conversation that we forgot to mention that he works with Anne-Marie Serre to offer the Albany Peace Project Meditation Leader Certification program.   If you are interested in becoming an APP certified meditation leader, please look out for future trainings.  We will most likely be offering a program in the spring of 2016.

 

Thank you so much for your participation, and if these meditations have been helpful to you, we would greatly appreciate your support to help us continue to offer such extensive content.

1.18.16 Meditation: Bethany Gonyea, Founder Albany Peace Project

Well, it wasn’t until I was preparing to write this post, a long time after I had recorded both the interview and the meditation, that I realized that this meditation was going to be posted on Martin Luther King Jr. day.  If I had realized that, I definitely would have referred to Martin Luther King, because today’s theme ties right into the work of that great man.
Martin Luther King, Jr. was a visionary, and a man who intimately knew and never forgot the dignity of all people.  He completely mastered the skill that I invite us all to cultivate today, which is developing the discipline of holding to ideas that are good, and right, and true, regardless of whether or not the external world currently acknowledges such ideas.  Visionaries hold to their vision regardless of external circumstances which is why we admire them so much.

Visionaries have also learned to work toward making their visions come alive.  Their high definition dream gives them the courage, strength and spirit required to overcome great adversity.  When we watch King, we can’t help but see his dream, as it becomes as real to us as it was to him, even though it had not been manifested in daily life as yet.

In today’s meditation, I refer to that type of vivid day dreaming as second sight, and it is used by indigenous healers throughout the world to invoke a truth that can only be seen beyond this world.  Martin Luther King, Jr. personified this ability to live from higher truths daily regardless of whether or not he received support for them.

Today, you will have an opportunity in the meditation to invoke your higher wisdom, and draw from greater truth to live from a higher order of purpose and vision for your own life.

Mindfulness For Busy People
Anne-Marie Serre, IT Specialist/Corporate Meditation Leader
Wednesday January 20 at 7:00 PM, Unity Church of Albany

This session will help you apply the transformative power of mindfulness to your busy life, helping you find the coherent calm space within you, as you focus yourself for whatever challenges you face.

Mindfulness is not mystical or magical, it is actually somewhat methodical.  There are basic techniques you can use to broaden your perceptions at any moment, which enables you to resource a much broader palette of elevated feelings, including greater joy, clarity and sustained well-being.

As an IT consultant, Anne-Marie Serre, has had to hone her ability to stay calm under pressure.  In this talk, she will share the best mindfulness techniques she has cherry picked to help us work gracefully under periods of intense stress.  She will discuss how mindfulness techniques do not actually take any “time” at all, because brief periods of mindfulness actually improves focus, energy, efficiency and creativity all which yield greater results in less time.

Programs are held weekly at Unity Church of Albany, 21 King Ave, Albany

Challenging Our Agreements, and How They Shape Us
Bryce Pullano, IT Specialist
Wednesday January 27 at 7:00 PM

One of the four agreements in the wildly successful book “The Four Agreements” by Don Miquel Ruiz, is “Don’t make assumptions.”

If we all took a moment to pause and consider how many assumptions we make in life, and how much these assumptions shape our destiny, we may become awestruck by their significance.   These realizations have the potential to be so profound, they may inspire us to make lasting change in our behavior, changes that can effect the entire trajectory of our lives.

In this talk, Bryce Pullano will ask us to challenge our most basic social contracts, and examine how much we assume things that simply are not be true at all.  He will help us expose these flimsy mirages for what they are, which can help us find the truth that we need to experience real-world growth. These non-truths are best eliminated, so that we can proceed confidently in life with clear unwavering vision that sustains us in times of darkness.  Come to this talk ready to challenge all areas of your life, and to mine new insights for positive change.

Spiritual Conversations For Men
Facilitated by Glenn Hogue & Tim Moon, MA – CASAC
Wednesday February 3 at 7:00 PM

Most spiritual programs are predominantly attended by women, which often causes women’s issues to be the focus of such programming.  However, at NUMINOUS, we wanted to provide new programs that would specifically support Men’s spiritual discoveries as they do the significant work of pioneering how to blend ancient spiritual teachings with contemporary culture’s expectations of masculinity.

This is critically important work, as we seem to be in a time in history when all sorts of established paradigms are falling.   The rugged individualism of the late 20th century is being challenged on all levels, especially in relationships. The traditional roles between male and female are also being blurred as well.

How do we maintain the integrity of our yang (masculine) energy while assimilating the gentler aspects of spirituality and still be effective in this world?   How do we learn how to connect, while maintaining our individual authenticity and truth?   Many of us have learned that we don’t need to do life alone, but we are unsure of how to skillfully include input from Spirit, women, and other men, without loosing connection with ourselves.

Learning how to skillfully partner, listen, and still assert our truth seems to be a huge piece of the mission of our generation of men. These Spiritual Conversations For Men will give us an opportunity to gain answers to the some of the most distracting questions of our lives.  In a quiet environment, we can safely discuss what matters to us most, and obtain invaluable insights from other men who have grappled with the same questions.  Through this exchange, we learn that we don’t have to do “life alone.”  Also, we learn how good it feels to be supported and to provide the same meaningful support for others.   These discussions offer us clarity and direction as we learn to connect, and yet still hold individual balance.

We are extremely fortunate to have Tim Moon, Counselor, and Fo Castle Owner/Operator Glenn Hogue facilitate these discussions.  These two have over 55 years of combined spiritual understandings to chart this prosperous territory.

1.17.16 Meditation: Michael Wayne, Author of the Quantum Revolution

Today you get to meet, acupuncturist, author and change agent, Michael Wayne, Phd, author of Lo-Density Lifestyle, Knuckleball From Hell, Quantum-Integral Medicine, and his latest book, Quantum Revolution: The Power to Transform.
Michael is a transformative thinker who inspires others to dream a little bigger, especially with his groundbreaking series Interviews From the Leading Edge, which offers great hope for the future in these uncertain times. Interviews from the Leading Edge is an exclusive series of discussions with people who are on the leading edge of transformational change, doing work to further the consciousness revolution, and shape the way it manifests in culture, politics and spirituality, in order to help nurture a more enlightened society.

In this interview, we talk about how we all have a version of imaginal cells within us.  Michael mentions how the transformative process within all of us seems to start similar to imaginal cells. These are the cells that actually make a butterfly from the ”cellular chaos” inside the caterpillar.

Michael will be talking about this transformative process, and what he has learned from transformational leaders, at an upcoming Numinous event to be held at the Unitarian Church in Albany, 405 Washington Avenue, on February 6 at 7:00 PM.  Unity Church Musical Director Roger Mock will also be performing at this special event, offering uplifting music.
