Our Oakland Center teaches tools help you realize a more joyful, calm and peaceful life away from the pressures of life. We use these tools daily to still our minds and lead a more fulfilled and purposeful life of service to ourselves and the world.
Prayer / Affirmative Prayer / Spiritual Mind Treatment
At the Oakland Center for Spiritual Living, we teach a specific spiritual prayer technology, which we call, Spiritual Mind Treatment. Through the power and practice of this technology “SMT”, there comes an expectation of specific outcomes and manifestations. One of the many questions our founder, Dr. Ernest Holmes sought to answer is “why are some prayers answered and not others?” The answer always creates a great sense of awe as more understanding is gained about how this type of prayer works–in fact, you are already using it right now to manifest your life!
Some think of SMT as following the Laws of Attraction or Universal Laws, while others recognize quantum physics in the teaching of this scientific, yet heart-based and mindful style of prayer.
Meditation
We believe that each of us have an inner knower/teacher that guides us when we open and listen by getting still and listening to this small voice or feeling within. We invite you to share in this ancient, simple yet profound practice.
Positive Reading – Soul Food for the Mind
Striving toward a more peaceful life and planet, our practices include positive, inspiring reading for daily contemplation.
Selfless Service
Leading a good life and being a good stewart of our planet involves being in service to others in need and taking action in the community creating a better life for others. While the goal of selfless service is always to create a positive mark on the lives of others, the impact can be felt on the one serving in an even greater manner. Serving others enriches our own lives and connects us to others in the world. Our hearts are opened in gratitude during this important practice of love for self and others.
Selfless Giving (Time, Talent and/or Treasure)
We believe in the reciprocity of the cosmos, which states you will receive good when you put good into the world. As such, giving of your wealth, time, and/or talents will result in receiving greater blessings while blessing the lives of others, too!
Affirmations
We state our intentions through practicing a lifestyle of positive self-talk that changes your life and the way you view yourself each day. Affirmations help you remain positive, focused, and grateful in advance of any life event, and we are all aware that these days we can all use ways to navigate through the storms of life.
We hope this overview of our spiritual tools has been informative. We would be happy to provide more information on our beliefs and our practices, or welcome you to join us to experience the beautiful and spiritually nourishing Oakland Center for Spiritual Living for yourself today.
