Meditative Sound Bath Service

Sunday, October 5th, at 12:00 noon
with Kayla Harvey & Patrick Thompson

This is a meditative service with sound bath and energy healing provided. All are welcome! Love Offerings are accepted and appreciated.
Sound bath uses vibration from instruments like crystal singing bowls to relax the body and mind. The potential benefits of a sound bath are very similar to many meditative and relaxation practices. They include decreased stress, lower blood pressure, increased relaxation, improved sleep, decreased anxiety, and many more health benefits.
   Kayla Harvey, MA, LMHC, and Patrick Thompson will be playing seven crystal singing bowls, along with other instruments for your relaxation and pleasure. Feel free to sit, lie down, close your eyes, or meditate while listening.  Some pillows and yoga mats are available to borrow, or you can bring your own.


Speaker for this Sunday

October 5th

Rev. Sophia Falke
Unity of Kona’s Minister of Record

Chapter 21: The Word:
Creative Power in Expression

This lesson explores the metaphysical understanding of “the Word” as more than speech—it is the activity of Divine Mind expressing through us. Just as “In the beginning was the Word,” we discover how every thought, spoken or unspoken, is creative.

This Sunday is Birthday Sunday!

We would like to acknowledge everyone who has a birthday this month, especially those we know of from our Spiritual Ohana. We celebrate you and wish you all a day and a year filled with many blessings.

Happy Birthday! Hau’oli La Hanau!

October 2025
Theme:  The Creative Power of SpiritAffirmation:  I speak Truth, create with love, and
live as a radiant expression of Divine Power.

       This month, we deepen our awareness of the Divine activity in our lives. Through the Word, denials and affirmations, the principle of creation, and the Twelve Powers, we learn how Spirit moves in and through us. Each lesson reminds us that we are not separate from Divine Mind. We are expressions of it, empowered to speak Truth, create consciously, and embody our innate spiritual faculties.

 (Hoʻoponopono is an ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness that means “to make right”. It involves taking 100% responsibility for one’s experiences by repeating the mantra “I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you” to heal, transform relationships, and restore inner and outer harmony. The practice aims to release negative emotions and energy, fostering a sense of connection and wholeness within oneself and with the world.)

Additional On-going Affirmation:
Unity of Kona attracts a visionary minister to guide
us with love and light into an abundant future!

Mahalo For Your Thoughts, Prayers
and 
Loving Energy
for Rev. Sophia!

Rev. Sophia appreciates your continued healing thoughts and prayers as she continues through her healing process. She sees herself in perfect health and alignment, and is joyfully committed to continuing her UofK duties.

          The QR code and link on the right were created to donate via PayPal’s Giving Fund. There is no processing fee with this charity donation option. But PayPal does NOT notify UoK of Giving Fund individual donations.
The other link is not part of PayPal’s Giving Fund, and PayPal donors are charged a fee for contributing. The advantage of this option is that PayPal notifies UoK monthly with the name of each donor and each amount. Please choose the option that best meets your needs.

You’re September’s Unity of Kona
Team Member of the Month

     Mahalo, Laura, for your loving service to our Spiritual Center. We are blessed to have you at Unity of Kona! We very much appreciate your Super “can do” attitude to do whatever is needed to get the job done at any time! 
       During Sunday services, Laura volunteers as either a platform assistant, Daily Word reader, or greeter! She regularly brings food for our fellowship lunches, and helps with Circulation Day events when she’s here. She is also helping Rev. Sophia during her cancer treatments by making calls to members. Though right now she is only in the Kona area temporarily, Laura will share her knowledge and
 
experience to facilitate UoK chaplain training starting early in 2026.
       Laura, your willingness to offer needed support and share your time, energy and talents is greatly appreciated. You are a bright and shining light and we are grateful for your spirit of Aloha and loving service!  We love you, Laura!
