One of my favorite services at Unity is the White Stone Mediation Service. We just had ours on January 6th.
As Rev Carmela said, some of us may not get our name right away. That was what happened for me. The next Tuesday I drove to the Hunterdon County Library parking lot in Clinton and sat in silence gazing at the lawn running up to the Spruce Run Reservoir. Three white tail deer scampered along the fence dividing the library property and the reservoir - they were looking for a way through the fence - did they want water or just the woods surrounding much of the reservoir? Seeing them was an auspicious beginning to my time of silence. And then my name came to me.Many of us will not be sharing our names generally as we internalize the lessons meant for us about the name throughout 2019. That is the case for me.
I took my 2018 stone out of my purse and replaced it with my 2019 stone. The 2018 stone now has joined all my stones since 2014. When I read my stones for each year, lessons learned flooded back to me about each.
My White Stone name for 2016 was Mirror. I regularly, throughout that year and since, notice that what I'm seeing out in the world is mirroring back to me. When I see beauty and happiness, I'm feeling that. When I see chaos and fear and anger, I'm feeling that. In fact, the desktop picture on my computer at Unity is a woman looking in a mirror.
Each year's name is powerful in one way or another.
I wish you each an inspirational White Stone name for 2019. We have extras in the office if anyone needs one.
Lots of love,
~ JEAN
