During the first week of December the students of Spiritual Arts Institute gathered in Joshua Tree, California, for our annual Initiation. Every year students of all ages and backgrounds travel from around the world, some as far away as Israel and Japan, to meditate, pray, and expand our spiritual education.
The Initiation is the highlight of the year for Spiritual Arts Institute, because it is during this time that we receive a powerful and glorious blessing from the Higher. Our beloved teacher Barbara Y. Martin explains,
“Initiation is the time when the Holy Ones of Divine Light come very close to bless us for the spiritual work done throughout the year.
The Holiday time of year is important as well as this is when when the Holy Ones down-ray a lot of Divine Light to humanity.
Do your best to stay in a high consciousness so you can receive this blessing and be a channel of it for others.”
In addition to the blessings received from the Higher, during the initiation we have the opportunity to bond with our spiritual community. These friendships are invaluable to encourage us as we climb our individual spiritual ladders. One of the most beautiful things about being in the spiritual work is it brings so many wonderful people together–a true spiritual family.
Wishing you health and happiness this Holiday Season,
and a very bright New Year!
Barbara Y. Martin & Dimitri Moraitis
This holiday time of year – the season of divine light – is a glorious time of growth and renewal. It is the time to honor the Christ and what the Christ consciousness means to us. Right now, there is a great deal of activity going on in the spiritual dimensions of life. The celestial hierarchy comes particularly close to us and there’s tremendous prayer work and downpouring of spiritual light to uplift and inspire all humanity.
Do your best to stay in as high a state of consciousness as you possibly can, to allow yourself to receive this great outpouring of light, this divine gift. Take a moment apart from your holiday busyness and be still for a moment, just to allow yourself to breathe and accept this blessing and to be a channel for others who may need a helping hand.
Happy Holidays to you from all of us at Spiritual Arts Institute!
The imagination and creativity of a child is a precious gift. Paul Collard is the CEO of Creativity, Culture and Education (CCE), a UK-based organization funded by government “to unlock the creative potential of children and young people, in order to prepare them for success in the creative economy of the 21st century.”
Paul explains, “Creativity is … being able to make good ideas happen.” This is key because creativity and culture are drivers of social and economic change.
A recent project of CCE was assisting a group of children in London purchase a new classroom for their school campus – a nonoperational, full-sizedpassenger airplane! The children came up with the idea, negotiated the plane’s purchase, designed the interior with David Beckham’s personal plane designer, and wrote letters to council for permission to park it on school grounds.

ncouraging our children to imagine, to play, to think outside the box, we are instilling within them the knowing that their contribution to the world is valuable and essential. This confidence goes on to create talented individuals who will confidently go out and peruse their dreams.
Barbara Y. Martin and Dimitri Moraitis, two accomplished metaphysical teachers and authors, advocate the early spiritual education of our children to nurture their creativity, emphasizing that kids learn by example.
Dimitri shares the story, “Barbara and I were teaching the basic principles of metaphysics to young children, ages 6 to 14, who were studying to be actors in major motion picture films. At one point Barbara shared with the children that talent shows up in the aura as a brilliant electric blue. The next day the children came to class and everyone was wearing blue – they got it!”
Introducing your kids gently to metaphysics is ideal, remembering that children are adult souls in a child’s body. While Barbara and Dimitri recommend waiting until the age of twelve to introduce your child to meditation, exposing them to spiritual principles can be fun, and you may be surprised by how quickly they catch on!
A great way to work with the light with kids is to use creative visualizations, such as encouraging them to envision themselves surrounded in a golden bubble for protection, or seeing themselves cloaked in pink light for love. You can also play creative games to teach your children about the divine light.
By sharing the light work with your children not only are you nurturing their natural ability to be creative, you are also watering the seeds of their innate spirituality.
