The Highest Mind

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.

I affirm that we all come from this one source.

We are inseparably one with the infinite Presence and Power.

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 power of my mind to manifest love, power and peace, as I define my own individuality.

The highest attitude of my mind is one of perfect calm and absolute trust in Spirit.

With perfect confidence, I look into the future.

With perfect ease, my mind rests in the present.

Through non-resistance, I cause evil to flee from me.

I look only at what I want, without resisting anything.

I believe that a great change is taking place.

I realize that underneath, Spiritual Power is at work destroying all unlike itself.

I believe that the divine plan has no mistakes and that if God could have done it in a better way, it would have been done differently.

By living a life overflowing with joy, I show the world the right way.

By always being glad, I surround myself with people who are happy, and I create a life of continual enjoyment.

The atmosphere that I create, cheers and uplifts others.

Today, I am setting in motion the power of tomorrow.

My soul learns to live in the great gladness of today.

I am never weary of life, because I live in the eternal here and now.

I trust Spirit to guide me today.

I see God in all manifestation, in all people, through all events.

All I see is the body of God – full, free, complete, whole.

Of all things on Earth, the human body is the most beautiful, the most wonderful and the most God-like.

I realize that if I do not love my brother, whom I have seen, I cannot love God, whom I have not seen.

I activate the power of attraction, against which nothing can stand.

I appreciate nature, spending much time in the outdoors, looking into the stars.

I realize that all things come to me through the use of my thought.

I constantly expand my thoughts, so that I keep growing.

Growth is the law of life and is necessary for me to overcome all precedents, and to set myself in the new order of things.

I believe that God has created me for a glorious future.

So it is with a grateful heart, that I express overwhelming thankfulness for my own self-realization, for love, for kindness, for joy and for blessings in my life.

And so it is. Amen.

Moving Through Fear

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 the principle of safety.

I meet fear with my full attention.

I open to a clear awareness that recognizes the rising and the passing of fear without contracting or identifying with it.

I take refuge in the truth of this awakening toward fearlessness.

My body relaxes and my curiosity arises.

I become present to my inner guidance and the external facts.

I understand and face my fears.

I breathe, feel and express my fears.

I connect to a Higher Power through regular meditation and prayer.

I communicate and learn from others, who have mastered what I fear.

I use group support to overcome a shared fear.

I imagine a life without a specific fear.

I seek help in overcoming my fears.

I recognize that fear is an affirmation of my growth and of my taking a risk.

I celebrate my own freedom and authenticity as I rest in peace and security.

So it is with a grateful heart, that I express overwhelming thankfulness

For my own self-empowerment, for love, for kindness and for security in my life.

And so it is.
