Your Personal Spiritual Development
If you are drawn to participate in activities, the aim of The White Eagle Lodge is to enable you to develop your own inner spiritual life in a safe and gentle way. At the London Lodge you may do this in a number of ways including: receiving contact healing, joining an absent healing group, meditating, reading the books in the library and attending services and classes. There are opportunities for training as a White Eagle contact healer and for service in the White Eagle Star Brotherhood.

MEDITATION IN THE LONDON LODGE
As we move towards having a dedicated School of Meditation based in the London Lodge but serving the whole White Eagle work, the range of meditation activities is increasing. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced meditator, there should be something in the list below to appeal to you. If in doubt, phone 020 7603 7914 or email
or
LEARNING MEDITATION
Meditation is now taught here in a careful structured way with term-length sets of classes at various levels. Level One, for instance (elsewhere described simply as Learn to Meditate), is intended as a way of acquiring all the basic skills that meditation may involve, and some sense of the lifestyle that a meditative practice tends to evoke. It is designed to give everyone a simple and sustaining meditative practice, and one founded on real grounding in the subject. Level Two takes this further, emphasizing the opportunities that the spiritual practice creates for greater unfoldment and a serenity that can be described and found whenever it is needed. Level Three and Level Four classes go in increasing depth into the unique aspects of the White Eagle meditation, which is typified by primarily having as its aim reintegration with the oneness of life, and by strongly emphasizing both the heart and the creative imagination.
Currently, there is a LEVEL ONE class in operation on a Wednesday from 7.30 to 9.00 pm, beginning 26 May 2010. Please contact us right away if you would like to attend. LEVEL TWO class due to start on Tuesdays from 6.00 to 7.30 pm on 15 June and continue throughout this session (i.e. to the beginning of August). Again, please apply immediately.
There is likely to be a level three series in the autumn and a level four after that, maybe winter 2011.
PRACTISING MEDITATION
If you are used to meditating regularly there are a number of options, and you are welcome to all the activities mentioned.
On a Thursday, from 2.00 to 2.45 pm there is silent meditation based simply around a concentration on the Lodge’s six-pointed star, using it as an image of perfect being, as a mandala or a morphic form and allowing it to project as light.
Also on Thursdays from 3.00 to 3.30 pm there is a half-hour meditation which is effectively a healing meditation for London.
On a Tuesday morning there is a weekly practice meditation with a teacher present to answer questions and deal with problems. As this is held outside normal hours please contact us to be sure it is happening and when.
EXTENDED MEDITATION
Meditation in the White Eagle way and as described in books such as Grace Cooke’s seminal work, MEDITATION, is typically of an hour’s duration or more, and is also held when there is a demand and available space, both in the form of a public Full Moon meditation and a deep guidance meditation. The Full Moon meditation when held, is open to all but for the Guidance meditation full training is a prerequisite. If you are interested in attending either of these, please enquire and leave contact details so that we may tell you when such a meditation is happening.
SPIRITUAL HEALING
Spiritual Healing is a natural and heart-centred way of offering therapeutic support. It makes use of non-physical energy, the powerful healing rays of light and colour, which the healer has learned to access through quiet personal development and extensive training. Healing does not set out to replace conventional medical treatment. Healing affects first the emotional, mental and spiritual levels and the soul, physical healing follows.
CONTACT HEALING
We hold four Services for Contact Healing each week, which are open to everyone. The atmosphere of these Services is warm, meditative and supportive, and completely un-intrusive on your own belief system as a patient. Individual treatments are given in a group setting by one of our trained healers, and your treatment will last about 15 minutes. Most people's experience of the healing treatment is of a gentle and relaxing warmth. Light touch is involved, mainly to the back of the body. All consultations are entirely confidential. While our healers are trained to national standards, our tradition is that the service of Spiritual Healing is offered to you without charge, although donations are of course welcome.
London Lodge Healing Services are at the following times:
If you are coming for the first time, please arrive 30 minutes early so that we can discuss your treatment. Please note that on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, the gates close at 6.30pm.
ABSENT (Distant) HEALING
In this method of healing the names of those who have requested healing are called during a weekly meditation group, and treatment is given through prayer and thought projection, without the need for the patient to be present. Through their attunement, the healing group is able to link in a wholly supportive way with the soul of the patient. If you would like to receive spiritual healing through this method please contact our Healing office at New Lands on 01730 893300. Those who feel at home with the White Eagle work however have the opportunity of learning and serving through joining one of the groups in the London Lodge, which are held everyday at various times. We are happy to discuss this with you. We also have special groups for animal healing and a new animal healing meditation on Tuesdays at 4.15pm, see below.
Healer's Rededication Services areopen to all White Eagle Healers.
