Download or read book Partners in Spirit written by Fiona J. Griffiths and published by Brepols Pub. This book was released on 2014 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Partners in Spirit focuses on relations between chaste men and women within religious life in Germany (c. 1100-1500), concentrating on the complex set of negotiations that governed contact between a male priest and his female charge. Although religious women were undeniably reliant on priests for pastoral care (the cura monialium) throughout the medieval period, it does not follow that men saw such care as burdensome or that women were spiritually subordinate in their relations with priests. Within the context of the cura, ordained men and professed women met regularly, often developing intimate friendships and providing each other with crucial spiritual support, despite prevailing fears that contact between the sexes must result in sexual temptation and sin. Examining the various interactions of priests with religious women, Partners in Spirit traces the ways in which both viewed the cura, highlighting the fluidity of gender and authority within the medieval religious life. In so doing, the volume suggests new ways of considering the intersection of gender, religion, and spiritual power within the medieval world.

Download or read book Spirit Centered Relationships written by Gay Hendricks and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows you a new way to experience more love in your life. If you use the three simple tools described in the book, your relationships will undergo a spiritual transformation. Specifically, you will feel a deeper sense of your own spiritual center, while at the same time seeing the spiritual essence of your partner more clearly. What allows this transformation to take place? It’s the power of Presencing, a new set of relationship-enhancing techniques that enable you to slip free of the shackles of the past into a new space of creative freedom. Based on work with more than 3,500 couples and 20,000 single and divorced people, Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks discovered that relationships flourish when each person develops a body-sense of spirit. This means that each person must get deeper than the level of spiritual concepts to feel a living sense of spirit inside. Using the three specific tools described in the book: Presencing Wonder, Presencing Spirit, and Spirit-Centered Listening, couples feel more love and harmony flowing into their lives, and single people find it much easier to attract genuine love to them.

Book excerpt: • Presents interviews with ten contemporary practitioners of spirit marriage, exploring how the relationship developed and the opportunities and challenges • Discusses the author’s own spirit marriage, including her awakening as an erotic mystic and her encounters with her Faery beloved • Explains how to cultivate a spirit marriage, sharing precautions and practices to spiritually prepare yourself and navigate the potential challenges of spirit marriage Exploring the phenomenon of the spirit spouse or spirit lover--an entity to which a human is psychically bonded--Megan Rose, Ph.D., examines the practice and purpose of spirit marriage around the world, presenting transcultural evidence of this form of sacred union in anthropological research, religious literature, mythology, folklore, and the oral tradition. She shares her in-depth interviews with ten contemporary practitioners of spirit marriage, including a Faery Seer, a Shakta Tantric, a West African Shrine Keeper, a New Orleans Voodoo Mambo, Haitian Vodou practitioners, and a ceremonial magician. Through these respectful interviews, the spirit-marriage practitioners tell their stories of initiation and of having a spouse who is both otherworldly and able to assist in waking- world activities. They offer intimate insight into this growing global practice and its larger evolutionary purpose. We learn about their experiences of first contact, the decision to marry, how the relationship is upheld by their community, and the impact on their other relationships. We also learn about the risks and challenges as well as one example of divorcing a spirit. Sharing her personal experience, the author discusses in detail her own spirit marriage, including the erotic nature of being “spirit filled” and her encounters with her Faery beloved. She explains how to cultivate a spirit marriage, sharing precautions and practices to spiritually prepare yourself, interpret your paranormal encounters, and navigate the potential challenges of spirit marriage. Presenting the first study of the transcultural, shamanistic practice of spirit marriage, this book shows how bonded relationships with spirits are needed now more than ever to assist with spiritual evolution.

Download or read book Choosing Partnership Sharing Ministry written by Marcia Barnes Bailey and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2007-06-20 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like many clergy, Marcia Barnes Bailey began her work as an ordained leader with a vision of the pastor as leader extraordinaire, empowered by education, authority, position, and resources. She soon found herself thinking: "There has to be another way." In this book, Bailey invites pastors and congregations to a new understanding of ministry, leadership, and the church that challenges hierarchy by fully sharing responsibilities, risks, and rewards in mutual ministry. This model took shape over 10 years as Bailey, pastoral colleague Marcus Pomeroy, and the congregation they served began writing their own definition of partnership--creating their own map, trusting their own instincts, making their own mistakes. For Bailey, this kind of partnership began when she discovered the courage to listen to herself and to the Spirit for the inklings of another way--to incarnate Jesus's example, a ministry that was widely inclusive, delegated power, shared authority, and thrived with the multiplication of gifts. Partnership invites us on a journey that can transform us as leaders, as human beings, and as the church. It is challenging and exciting, and it requires hard work. It is also energizing, engaging, and empowering. Partnership unleashes the Spirit to create a new vision and reality among us, moving us one step closer to living into God's reign.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever asked yourself what changed when you were "born again?" You look in the mirror and see the same reflection - your body hasn't changed.

The correct answer to that question is foundational for receiving from God. If you lack this basic understanding, you'll forever ask yourself doubt-filled questions like: "How could God love somebody like me?" and "How can I possibly expect to receive anything from the Lord? I don't deserve it, I'm not good enough!" Spirit, Soul, and Body will help you eliminate those and other doubt-filled questions that destroy your faith. If you have trouble receiving from God, this is a must-read!
Download or read book Spiritual Partnership written by Gary Zukav and published by HarperOne. This book was released on 2011-10-11 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about our new relationships. A new and surprising world is emerging that requires each of us to explore the sources of our love and cultivate them and the inner sources of all that prevents us from loving (our fears) and heal them. Our evolution has taken a new path, and our relationships are changing in unexpected and dramatic ways. We are evolving beyond the limits of our five senses and encountering more expanded experiences of ourselves and our world than were previously possible. Where once our perception was confined to what we see, hear, taste, touch, and smell, we are now increasingly able to access data that these senses cannot detect. This expanded perception is forever altering our experiences of ourselves, our world, and our relationships. Our evolution now presents us at each moment with a profound choice: we can pretend that our lives and the world are not changing and continue to relate to one another as before, or we can use our relationships to transform ourselves into authentically powerful, loving individuals. In Spiritual Partnership, bestselling author Gary Zukav reveals a profound new relationship dynamic that enables us to reach our full potential and create authentic power—the fulfilling and joyful life that is calling to us all. Spiritual partnerships are not only for couples in marriage; they can be created anywhere two or more individuals decide to engage as equals for the purpose of spiritual development. Filled with poignant examples and practical guidance, including specific guidelines, Spiritual Partnership empowers and enables us to explore our emotions, our intentions, our choices, and our intuition and to use them to create profound spiritual growth. The world is changing around us and within us, and Spiritual Partnership is the road map to that change.

Download or read book Spiritual Partners written by Anita M. Davison and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2005-08-05 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comment from the author, "This book started as a dream. After I woke up, the idea of the murder of the psychic took shape and then the story started to enfold." Even if you are mildly interested or are curious about Metaphysics, you should enjoy this book. There are so many possibilities that one of them could even apply to you and your life. If you don't believe in the paranormal, you will enjoy this as a fantasy. Have you ever had a bad time in your life where you asked, 'Why me'? This book may answer your question. It's possible that there is such a thing as reincarnation and that could be the 'why' in your question. You could have done something in another life that caused that bad situation in this life. If you think you can get away with a crime, Ann Davis tells you, "You may think that some criminals have escaped from the justice system. I really believe that they have not escaped from the Higher Power and will be punished." We must all pay for the bad or negative things we do in whatever lives we live. If we live decent lives, we are rewarded with a decent next life. After all, do we really want to, possibly, live a miserable life; even if it is in a future life? We are given free will at birth. We have the choice to live positive or negative lives. Think about what you are doing to others, as well as to yourselves.
