Planting a Mental Garden
Let’s take this moment to invoke the Presence of Spirit, it’s goodness, its light, its consciousness and its atmosphere of peace.
There is only one mind, one Source, and one life,
And that is life as a spiritual being, as a loving being.
This universe is the glory of God. It is a moving, flexible, fluidic creation.
It is alive with life, abundance and all the richness of God.
I express the deep knowledge that God is within me, and we are all inseparably one with the infinite Presence and Power.
I affirm that we all come from this one source.
I now speak my word for myself and for all,
As I align myself with Spiritual Law and its creative principle.
I use the creative law of Life for the purpose of producing a good selected harvest.
In the garden of my mind, I plant the soil of faith and the seed of hope.
I prepare the good soil of my mind by selecting good thoughts, good feelings and a good mental attitude toward life.
I embrace faith, love, hope and acceptance.
Like in the miracle of nature, I plant my mental seeds with a happy and enthusiastic expectancy of the creative law of nature.
I know through experience that if I plant good seeds in good soil, that life will give me a good harvest.
In my mental garden, my thought is the seed through which the Law of love can heal, enrich and expand my experience.
I realize that the thoughts that I plant in my consciousness becomes my future.
I release all doubt and unbelief.
I uproot the weeds of fear.
I release all obstructions, so that my thoughts flow freely with a childlike faith and expectancy.
I use God’s law of creation to produce that which I long for, that which is my highest hope, and the goals of my greatest attainment.
I allow the warmth of God’s sunshine and the refreshment of God’s gentle rain to penetrate the soil of my mind,
Turning it into the rich loam of love.
I understand that my simple, sincere thoughts are the seeds that produce a variety of experiences.
The mental seeds that I choose to plant are health, success, love, abundance and self-expression.
I draw upon the Infinite by allowing God to manifest more happiness, more friendship, more love and good for myself as I awaken to the recognition of my unity with the whole.
So it is with a grateful heart, that I express overwhelming thankfulness for love, for kindness and for compassion in my life.
And so it is.
