Windows on the Spirit

Windows on the Spirit Interfaith Ceremonies, Spiritual Counseling & Healing, Photography I am delighted to introduce myself and Windows on the Spirit. C. S. Blessings, Rev. Susan Waldrop

I have had a spiritual core in my life, even while I was a teacher and coach. Recently, I felt called to develop that core into a professional presence as an Interfaith minister and spiritual counselor. I was ordained as an Interfaith minister in June 2014 and finished my program in Spiritual Counseling in June 2016. Truly, I have discovered that there are many names for God or the Universe, and m

any ways Spirit works in the world. Key questions we can ask each other are “What is God (or the Universe) teaching you today? Or, “What touches your heart and helps you connect to Spirit?”

There is so much collective wisdom in all the traditions and we are learning many ways that concepts of God share much at the heart level. When we learn to love and appreciate one another and our paths to higher consciousness, I suspect our dogmatic differences will fade in significance. My ministry is interfaith—exploring and experiencing the many worshipful ways of Spirit and learning the ways wisdom and truths about living are mirrored in each faith. While I have deep Christian faith and roots, I have been touched by transformational rituals from many faiths. Spiritual Counseling helps people find healing and their connection to God in the working out of life issues. Lewis said we can get “bent” by life’s hurts and struggles: spiritual counseling and healing prayer can bring God’s love and energy into places which have become closed or wounded. Faith isn’t about rules, except at a very basic level: it’s about connection and love between all humans, and The Source of all love. Come and join me in the conversation! I am available now for creative weddings, baby blessings, funerals and rituals that celebrate any of life’s group events. Spiritual Counseling is available on an individual or group basis. Workshops on Forgiveness, Grief, or other topics are a possibility. Even as you are reading this description of me and my ministry, I pray you will be encouraged to keep faith alive and that God loves you deeper than deep.

I was welcoming my dog to jump into the car, and I felt an inspiration that this was what dying might be like... God saying, "Come on, you're invited. Time to get in the car and come home!"
What do you think?

Good Morning! Fall is coming and change is in the air.. For starters, I want to pass on many of the daily quotes I get from One Spirit Learning Alliance--my seminary and school for spiritual counseling.
Just by the way, if any of you need an Interfaith Minister or Spiritual Counselor, please let me know! Blessings for the day!

Let work be your prayer.” (St. Benedict) In other words prayer does not necessarily consist only of a special time set aside and away from distractions, but in the realization that every moment is sacred, and every act of labor we perform is meaningful when done with a clear mind and intent, focused wholly on the task at hand and consecrated to the beautiful mystery of the moment.

Hello Friends from the sunny southland. I am in knoxville Tn visiting grandchildren...
On the way down, I listed to about 7 sessions of the Enneagram Summit from about 2 weeks ago. If you are anything like me, you probably don't know what that is...
I am amazed--it is like a life map of how different types cover up their spiritual essence--what others may call their inner self, their Atman, their place where we find our own Garden of Eden and connect with the Divine. If your on your own spiritual journey, you may have experienced touching this place of peace within us that connects to the larger Spirit and is at the core of all humanity. Or perhaps you want to experience it!
I know my own journey to uncovering it (to whatever extent I have), but understanding myself in the larger context of shared humanity with compassion for all is definitely helped by the Enneagram.
I'll tell you more as I learn more. meanwhile if you are interested, go to the Shift Network for programs and information.
Thanks. Blessings and may Miracles Abound in your opening to Spirit!

Hello Friends!
it's finally up and running. let me know what you think. I hope to be blogging pretty soon..
My spiritual journey has taken me to experience the Spirit in many faiths, though I remain deeply rooted in my own Christianity. I have found this journey to expand and deepen my understanding of Scripture. God loves us deeper than deep, like the ocean beneath a sea that can be tempestuous or calm. Finding that still small voice in our centers connects us with each other and the Universe.
Blessings all!
