What is really good about the place you go to church or spiritual center or whatever you call it?

January 27, 2010

I am going to look for a new place & want to know what qualities others find in their place of worship. I am open to just about any religion but in the past have attended a spiritual center that was open to all religions. If you want let me know if it is a certain religion in case I like what you write & want to look into it.
I like where I go now because people never talk about their religions yet we all love & respect each other & at xmas time we honor all relgions, traditions, etc.
We love people un-conditionally, If you like things about your church I appreciate you sharing that with me but if you are taught you are more deserving than gay people or people who are going to have abortions let me know. I would never want to attend a place that keeps people from medical care & causes them to possibly have more harm.
I really want a place that has great energy & help you live your best life but if your spriritual place doesn’t do that still tell me the good or even the bad about it. Thank you!

My favorite thing about my church is the honesty. My Bishop preaches from the bible but she relates it to everyday situations that I can understand. I like that all money passed in the sanctuary must be in an envelope to assure privacy. I like that you get a form at the end of the year for tax purposes that tells you exactly what you payed that year and when. I also like that if you want to know what happening with your money you have a right to ask for documentation and they will gladly show you exactly where your funds are going.

I also like that there is always something to do for the children and adults. There are different ministries, and events you can be a part of. There are trips and things for you to go on. There are other classes you can take that teach you how to study the bible, why we study the bible, and things of that nature.

January 25, 2010

I think this is a very valid question. It has been coming to my mind quite often in the last month and I thought if I can get some feedback and views. I will be specially interested in what people feel is the difference from their personal experiences.

Please feel free to share and discuss

Are soap operas do more to rot your mind rather than cleanse it?

January 20, 2010

Duuuuuuude… the day I get one set of questions out without a single spelling or grammar mistake is going to be a historic day of this era.

Totally.It’s like being on a bad (mental) diet,and you are what you eat.

I’ve met some people(this has to be said though-they’re not particularly bright) who spend(waste) a lot their time watching soap shows,and this tends to influence them on how they handle their relationships.Horrible.

One of the best mental cleansing techniques IMO is physical exercise.

Do home fitness/yoga videos actually work?

January 19, 2010

I know they only work if you actually do the routine. But, are they just as good as going to the Yoga centre?

I’d say you can do a lot of yoga on your own, but to be really safe and learn to know your own body takes supervision by a good instructor.

What kind of yoga is best for fitness?

January 08, 2010

I know all yoga has benefits. Which variety is best for building strength and fitness?

Ashtanga is great, like the above answer says. However, I find a traditional ashtanga practice to be too rigid – it’s the exact same poses every class, and much of the primary series (which will be the focus of most ashtanga classes you get at gyms, studios, etc.) is a seated sequence that I find rather monotonous. In most ashtanga classes, each posture is held for 5 breaths.

I prefer a vinyasa flow style or “power yoga” class (which has roots in ashtanga, but is not as rigid – its sequencing is pretty much up to the instructor). In terms of strength and fitness, Bikram Yoga is great for cardio/strength – it is a fixed sequence of 26 postures done in a room heated to 90-something degrees. You will likely either love Bikram or hate it – if you try it, be sure to hydrate well in the 24 hours before you go, and bring a lot of water and a large towel (or 2) – you sweat a LOT (I’m not a fan of this form of yoga, for a couple of reasons, one being that I get so dehydrated afterwards no matter how much water I drink that I get pounding headaches; also I find it hard to hold some of the postures when I am literally soaked from head to toe). The purpose of heating the room to such a degree is that your muscles are more pliable as they heat up, and you can more easily get into postures.

Other types I find physically challenging – Jivamukti, Iyengar (can be a slower flow, but is challenging because you hold the poses for longer and really focus on alignment), Forrest (each pose is held for a really long time) and Taoist (I had a great Taoist teacher who moved away – most studios don’t offer this style, it’s not really mainstream in my experience).

Types that you may want to stay away from (more spiritual and/or restorative than physical) – Kundalini, Kripalu, Svaroopa. Hatha classes can be harder, or more geared towards beginners – it really depends on the instructor.

Good luck – I’ve been practicing yoga for about 4 years, and it is one of the best things I ever started doing. If I can help with class/studio recommendations in your area, let me know!

Ricki Byars-Beckwith – “Morning Chant”

January 07, 2010

Rickie Byars Beckwith is music and arts director for the Agape International Spiritual Center and has produced six CDs, including Supreme Inspiration.

As director of the Agape International Choir for almost two decades, she composes, arranges, and directs music for the choir. She also performs at venues throughout the world, including Lincoln Center in New York City and the United Nations.

Beckwith is an intuitive channel of healing music, whose compositions give rise to a profound experience that opens the heart, touches the soul, and lifts the spirit. She is acclaimed as a pioneer in alternative spiritual music and has been recognized with an honorary doctorate degree in music from the United Church of Religious Science.

Beckwiths sound crosses all musical boundaries—gospel, rhythm and blues, jazz, and world beat. She grew up in the South and studied music at Morris Brown College in Atlanta, Georgia. She then moved to New York, where she was lead singer for The Pharoah Sanders Ensemble, Roland Hanna, and the New York Jazz Quartet, among other groups.

In 1983, Beckwith moved to Los Angeles. She found a spiritual home at the Agape International Spiritual Center, founded by Rev. Michael Bernard Beckwith, and soon formed a choir that eventually developed to todays 160-voice Agape International Choir.
