Unity Spiritual Center Welcomes Aramaic Scholar Wyming Sun

Asbury, NJ – Unity Spiritual Center welcomes Aramaic scholar Wyming Sun on Sunday, May 3. Sun will deliver the 10 a.m. Sunday message “The Eight Spiritual Attunements: The Lord’s Prayer from Ancient Aramaic” followed by an Aramaic Healing Service and workshop.

The Lord’s Prayer, as it is taught from Aramaic, the language of Jesus—contains eight affirmations that adjust us to spiritual forces in and around us. Jesus of Nazareth adapted some of the short prayers that were popular with other spiritual teachers in the Near East in order to attune our minds to receive and retain spiritual guidance and messages.

A spiritual genius if ever there was one, Jesus was gifted at healing. According to Aramaic sources, He taught His disciples healing as part of their spiritual training and gave them a ritual to help build their ability and faith. That ritual will be performed as follows: The Lord’s Prayer in Aramaic, singing of hymns to create a quiet, receptive atmosphere; laying on of hands.

Wyming P. Sun, linguist and Feng Shui Master, pupil of Dr. Rocco Errico, will facilitate an Aramaic Healing Service from noon to 2 p.m. This presentation will be full of affirmative phrases that will linger in your memory and rise to aid in daily living just when you need them most.

Workshop Cost: $35 advance registration by 4/27. $50 at the door. Unity Spiritual Center is located at 453 Bellwood Avenue in Asbury, NJ. For more info or to register: 908-730-8792 or [email protected].

Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
