Epiphany: Follow Your Star. A guided meditation for The Flock Year.

Epiphany Meditation - January 2012 [ 8:45 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Three ways to enhance your practice:

1. Share the name of your guiding star on the Flock Facebook page. (This is a private page where Flock members can have a quiet chat.)

2. Make a physical symbol of your word. One simple way is to decorate a simple star like this one and place it somewhere you will see it regularly.

3. Join us for Meditation Mondays: Upon waking on Monday mornings take ten conscious breaths. On the inhale take in your guiding word. (I receive the gift of __________.) On the exhale send it out to the world. (I offer __________ as a gift to others.) Do this each Monday morning this month.
