The Oneness Blessing is a non-denominational experience that awakens our connection with the oneness in everything, allowing each of us to deepen our relationship with those we love, with ourselves, with strangers and with our creator.
The Oneness Blessing is also found to help in the healing of the body and in the discharge of repetitive emotional patterns, resulting in greater ease and comfort with oneself.
In relationships it enables a greater sensitivity and connectedness with the other, freeing you from the limitations of your judgments and conditioning.
Success and prosperity begins with consciousness – a capacity to expand your horizon of thinking and an understanding of the universe around you, the principles governing you.
It has often been said that if you take one step towards God, then God will take a hundred steps towards you. We have so many ways to take a step towards the divine: prayer, meditation, chanting — in fact every kind of spiritual practice in every tradition. The Oneness Blessing is one way that the divine can reach out to mankind; it is a gift, a benediction of grace.
The Meditation and Blessing will take place at Yoga Patch this Sunday from 5:15pm-6:30pm with trainers Catherine Martin and Lily Berkley. It is a love offering basis.

Kansas City is a melting pot of religious diversity. Home to several World Religion headquarters, it has been hailed as an undeniable energetic space that many of its residents find sacred. But is it possible that Kansas City is actually an energetic center of what many people believe to be a spiritual and energetic shift in human consciousness? Could Kansas City be home to the 2012 Shift?
There are many people that believe this to be the case. On a visit to Kansas City in 1992, the last Keeper of the Hopi Prophecy, Thomas Banyacye, is reported to have said that a portion of the Prophecy contained an allusion to a time when a Sacred Circle of Nations would gather in the heart of this country. This ceremony would include representatives of all the indigenous peoples of the planet as well as the rest of humanity. This would mark, he said, the historical point at which humanity had renewed its promise to Mother Earth and was celebrating the return to the knowledge of the “sacredness of all Life.” During this visit, he shared his musing that he was himself feeling drawn to identify Kansas City and its surrounding area as the focal point for that momentous event.
The Church of the Christ of Latter Day Saints has a temple in Independence Missouri where they believe that the 2nd coming of Christ will actually occur.
“The Temple Lot, located in Independence, Jackson County, Missouri, is the first site to be dedicated for the construction of a temple in the Latter Day Saint movement. The area was dedicated on Wednesday, August 3, 1831 by the movement's founder, Joseph Smith, Jr., and purchased on December 19, 1831 by his colleague Edward Partridge to be the center of the New Jerusalem or "City of Zion" after he received a revelation stating that it would be the gathering spot of the Saints during the Last Days.
The most prominent 2.5-acre section of the Temple Lot is currently an open, grass-covered field occupied in its northeast corner by a few trees and the headquarters of the Church of Christ (Temple Lot), which is not considered a temple by most adherents of that sect. No other structures (with the exception of monuments and markers and signposts) exist on the 2.5-acre section, although numerous important structures exist on the 63.5-acre section, such as the United Nations Peace Plaza, the Community of Christ Auditorium, the Truman Railroad Depot, the LDS Visitors Center, the Community of Christ Temple, an LDS Church stake center, and the Six Nations Tree of Peace.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_Lot).
Another prediction that came forth in 1973 suggests that America is to be the focus of “The Return of the Dove.” In map form both J.J. Hutak in the book “The Keys of Enoch” and author Gordon Michael Scallion show the outline of a great descending Dove covering the whole of the US and Canada and reaching down into South America. Kansas City is shown in the inner-most triangle making one wonder if Kansas City is not a major portion of this “heart center” in the activation of the transformation of the Earth.
News of our religious diversity is even found in our mainstream media such as the Kansas City Star by way of a writer who wrote recently:
“In 2007, Religions for Peace-USA at the United Nations Plaza and Harvard University’s Pluralism Project sought a town for their first national interfaith academies. They selected Kansas City for the term because we offered the enrolled professionals and students hospitable Orthodox Christian, Muslim, Sikh, Jewish, and Buddhist congregations to visit, and speakers from other traditions as well.
A Harvard researcher said, “At the Pluralism Project, we consider Kansas City to be truly at the forefront of interfaith relations.” I believe one of several reasons for this is the proximity and influence of Unity, which has, since the time of Charles and Myrtle Fillmore, validated wisdom found in faiths around the world.” (Harmony in a World of Differences: Interfaith Works- copyright 2011 by Unity Magazine and Vern Barnet Kansas City, MO)
Of course Mr Barnet is speaking of the Unity movement which observes all faiths and offers worship in all faiths and was initially initially founded in Kansas City, Missouri in 1889 after Mrs. Fillmore was cured of her tuberculosis that she believed came through spiritual healing. Unity Village in Lee’s Summit, Missouri is their world headquarters and offers nonsectarian educational training for ministers who serve those who organize under the “term” Unity. (http://www.unity.org/aboutunity/whoWeAre/unityHistory.html)
Also celebrating the possibility that the Heartland is the epicenter of a global shift is spiritual master Panache Desai, who has invited well-known Author and Speaker, Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith to help ground the energies that will facilitate this shift. Dr. Beckwith is the founder and spiritual director of the Agape International Spiritual Center, author of the award-winning book, Spiritual Liberation, and featured in the best-selling book and film, The Secret. His PBS Special, The Answer is You, is currently being aired nationally, and he has also appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show and Larry King Live.
Michael Bernard Beckwith will be appearing at the Sheraton Overland Park Hotel on May 13, for a “transformative evening program together with Spiritual Master Panache Desai, who is hosting his ground-breaking weekend Global Gathering, ‘The Heart of Possibility.’” (according to Desai’s website).
On Saturday and Sunday, May 14 and 15, Panache will present “The Heart of Possibility,” an experiential program open to all where he will usher in a new paradigm of love, collaboration and unity. Panache states that he “has been shown that the United States is the focal point of a paradigm shift – one where humanity will experientially realize that we are one consciousness expressing itself in 6.8 billion different ways. We are being vibrationally prepared to move from a planet divided by beliefs to one unified by the heart. Kansas City is the vibrational heart center for this shift. The more who gather in this sacred space of the heart – from different religions, paths and ideologies – the faster we globally embody this new experience of love, collaboration and unity.”
Whether or not Kansas City is the epicenter of the 2012 Shift is not really important to the light workers who live here. We have always simply been who we are and open to who other people choose to be. That is why Kansas City is such a friendly place.
Panache Desai has a large following of people who have experienced his programs and have found them empowering and life-changing, and his vitality contagious. He travels internationally offering experiential programs and workshops and has helped tens of thousands transform their lives. To learn more about him visit his website: http://www.PanacheDesai.com

“The study and sharing of the integration of Body, Mind and Spirit to awaken our amazing human potential has always been my greatest passion. One of the most empowering realizations I've had is that our experience of any life circumstance is a function of personal perspective, more than the circumstance itself; that as our perspective changes so does our experience.” -Lindsay Wagner
The Oneness Deeksha is an exquisite method to help us on the journey of awakening. Lindsay is a Oneness Deeksha (Blessing) Trainer as well as a facilitator of other energy medicine techniques.
This evening is an opportunity to relax, enjoy beautiful music, explore how we perceive life through the stencil of the mind and experience the Oneness Deeksha, which effortlessly initiates opening to a greater experience of our connectedness, feeling more whole inside and allowing peace, clarity and unconditional love to emerge.
The flow of this transformative energy works to activate the body's natural energies, the kundalini and the chakras, and serves to intelligently guide the recipient on an individual, unique journey into higher states of consciousness, and ultimately into the state of Oneness.
"Shift your perspective... experience the difference."

We'll be dusting off our Free Hugs signs and heading down to the J.C. Nichols Memorial Fountain at the Country Club Plaza for some Free Hugs and we'd love to have you join us!
Global Free Hugs events will be held on this day all around the world so you would be taking part in a HUGE movement of love and peace!
We'll be getting there at 10am and staying until 1:30pm (although you may want to stay longer, its up to you!)
We'll bring extra signs if you don't have one and we'll have lots of great smiles for you too!
Hannah Jorgensen plays a crucial role to HT's latest Oneness Initiative.
Its November 6th and the most beautiful Fall day that I've seen in awhile. I'm meeting Hannah and her Mom, Sandy, at Loose Park so that we can shoot the video for Humanity's Team Oneness Video collaboration. Its a small idea that has been snowballing lately into a big one!
I first conceived of the Oneness Video Collaboration, earlier this year. I was really inspired by the Oneness Mandala movement and wondered if we could take it to another level altogether. I had also been pawning over starting a coordinated Humanity's Team Group and was trying to come up with actionable ideas that we could explore. I really wondered to myself, "How do other people experience Oneness?". I do a lot of things to experience it: Volunteer work, Free Hugs, Group Activities, Meditation... but I wanted more ideas!
This past Summer my family and I took a driving vacation up to Canada and back. We stopped in Boulder, Colorado to visit Steve Farrell, Humanity's Team World-wide Coordinating Director. I had been speaking to Steve and other teammates over the phone since I joined HT in 2007 and I was really excited to finally meet him! I shared my video collaboration idea with him, and he agreed that it would be a great experiment.
So, here we were at the park, the Sun shining warmly, the kids and adults playing on the playground. Hannah arrives and she is so nervous. I think its adorable because in my mind, we just couldn't go wrong. Who cares if it didn't come off right? We could always always do it over. That's just how I roll most of the time. She relaxes and gets used to the camera staring at her and my huge headphones on my ears. I want to make sure that we get good audio since the wind is blowing like crazy.
She gives the camera this look that sends chills up my spine and I knew in an instant that we had a great video. That's how it works for me. The scenes just kept presenting themselves as we casually walked through the park and picked out settings for each key phrase in our script.
A few days later, the video is edited and sent on to Humanity's Team for review. This is a very organized group who depends on consent from all members before they can move forward with any actions. I'm being told that this is one of the few initiatives that has presented and been ready in such a short time. I hope the P.O. Box that I set up is big enough. It looks like it will be an interesting ride!!

WHERE: The Waldo Library, corner of McGee and 75th Street, KCMO 64114
WHEN: Sunday, December 6th from 2pm to 5pm.
WHAT: This is a 2nd Annual "Share the Love" Holiday party, however its the first time that Humanity's Team Kansas City is sponsoring it.
"Share the Love" is a special kind of party. We will be collecting donations from far and wide and we will be counting on YOU to help us bring them in and organize it all.
We will be providing a more detailed list of the donations needed, but all donations will be divided and distributed to 4 Kansas City area organizations:
1. Emancipation Station- a daytime place for homeless women in Kansas City and a frequent supplier of lunch for the needy. We will be assembling lunch sacks and collecting gently used items.
2. Gillis- helping Kansas City's at-risk children and families become contributing members of the community - with education, counseling and social services. We will be collecting books and other items, preferable new.
3. Sheffield Place- who's mission is to empower single mothers with children to break out of the cycle of homelessness and poverty and become self-sufficient. They provide long-term shelter and comprehensive services to fifteen families. We will be providing them with new items for their Holiday store. The store is available to Families who have earned points by completing programs that are essential to meeting their goals.
4. Give What You Got- providing children in foster care with the necessities they need, right here in our community. Whether entering care, celebrating a holiday, or simply meeting the day to day needs of children, they provide resources that comfort and brighten lives. We will be providing them with new and gently used items to be used for help with the various programs that they offer.
You can view each one's website, and look at their donations section to get an idea of the types of items they will be needing. We will need help with the following things:
1. Volunteers to pass the word to anyone and everyone. I will ask the Waldo Library if I can set up a collection place there, or find a way to accept donations leading up to the event. If anyone can do the same in their area and just bring it all with you to the library, that would help.
2. Volunteers to actually attend the event! Volunteers may help with organizing the donations into 4 separate groups, helping kids to wrap books and/or decorate the lunch sacks, and to help organize the lunch sacks and fill them up.
3. Kids! We need kids (and adults) to lend their creative gifts to making our lunch sacks look seasonable. It means so much to a homeless person to receive such a carefully packed meal in a decorated sack. Not to mention the energy that will go into the art itself!
Please email me if you can help with any of these items. I am in the process of creating a flier and will have the available to anyone who wants it.
I'm looking forward to seeing what our collective energy puts out!
