QiGong Prison Ministry

There are two sayings that have been moving around me for a while. I’m not offering them up as Truth with a capital “T”. I would like to offer them up as a starting point to explore some ideas about spiritual transformation of the prison system and our roles as volunteers, and even more specifically, our coming together in this newly formed group.

You can’t imagine what you have not experienced.

You can’t solve a problem with the same consciousness that created it.

We have been pulled together by unseen forces; as individuals dedicated to quickening the Field of Love inside our jails and prisons.  As stars in a galaxy, we have been swirling around the same source field, living out our own unique way of manifesting Love’s desire to penetrate the walls and offer itself as a viable choice.

We have been called inside to help build an infrastructure of wisdom and experiences for those locked up to realize their potential and become catalysts for their own and the collective’s healing process. Inside, in our own groups, in our own ways, we bring forth the experiences that allow us each to imagine in a new way.

Now we are invited to bring our behind-the-walls experiences of this Field of Love’s potential outside; and invite them to fuel an imagination of a humanity that no longer needs to scapegoat and demonize its troubled brothers and sisters.  We are tending to the sprouting vision of our society’s evolution beyond the need for punishment.

We are a part of a consciousness that has come to know and deeply trust that there are no “others.”  We are expanding this awareness inside an institution reflecting a  different worldview. We have experienced the collective spiritual soul with these folks who have been cast out as demons.  We have imagined and witnessed the transformative potential made flesh inside the most barren of wombs.

Many people outside the walls are actively engaged in a new a paradigm, a consciousness actively working out of love rather than fear.  There are not so many who have had the experiences we have had from which to apply this new consciousness to the evolution of our criminal justice system. 

We have experienced, so we can imagine.
We are a part of the new consciousness needed
for the evolution of the criminal justice system.

We can release the criminal justice system from its old paradigm into a new vision.
We hold in our personal fields of awareness the energetic seeds for an evolutionary leap.   We hold the vision of seed becoming fruit. 
We are here today as the Field of Compassion cultivates its own becoming.
May we listen deeply and serve humbly.
