Way to a Powerful, Unlimited Life

Way to a Powerful, Unlimited Life

 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 activate the power of infinite possibilities.

I believe that spiritual mind healings are as relevant as medical discoveries, psychology and every other system of therapeutics.

I believe that the universe is organized and operates as a spiritual system.

My word is operated on by an intelligent creativity that moves through my thoughts, allowing law to manifest definite purposes.

With my words, I create an atmosphere of feeling which Law acts upon for the benefit of any person being treated, affirming that God is everywhere.

I call upon the divine within each individual to respond with spiritual awareness of their oneness with the divine presence.

I affirm that there is nothing in the universe that desires to harm or hurt any individual, since truth and Law are one and the same.

It is my goal to gently release emotionally charged thoughts, ideas and feelings that may be blocking my healing.

I release rejection, guilt, insecurity and anxiety.

With my words, I release isolation, the burden of guilt and the condemnation of rejection.

I invoke an enthusiastic joy for living.

I accept God’s love, allowing my individual awareness to know that I am wanted, needed and loved and belong to the universe.

God has created me for a purpose, and does not reject me, since I am an integral part necessary to the whole of the universe.

I am conscious of belonging to life, of feeling the Divine Presence, and being able to accept my good.

I accept God’s love, God’s joy and God’s beauty within myself.

Through spiritual mind treatment, I declare that there is a silent power, real and dynamic, that heals me.

I am befriended by the Infinite One, whose compassion I feel, and whose love has overpowered and restored my vision of life.

Through my healing, I am able to realize a more powerful life full of joy, love, prosperity, full creative expression and the ability to have the experiences I desire with ease and grace.

Life is beyond limitation.

My life is of pure spirit, unlimited potentiality and unbound joy and goodness.

With a grateful heart, I express overwhelming thankfulness for my unlimited potential, for love, for kindness, for understanding and for compassion in my life.

And so it is. Amen.

Wonder, Love and Praise                                                                                                                                        

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 or all,

As I align myself with the purpose of the Universe.

 I choose harmony, not discord.

I choose love, not hate.

I understand that Divine Spirit is equally and evenly distributed.

I accept the childlike wonder within myself that keeps me enthusiastic and joyful about my life.

I surrender to the Divine heart, to human love and to Divine wisdom.

I realize that wonder comes from the inner most resources of my own divine nature and my life essence.

I realize that I am one with all life, so I must include everyone and see them as a reflection of my own soul.

I create my future of Good by expressing harmony, love and inclusion.

I release my littleness, my fears, my grasping and the need to have my own way in exchange for a path of surrender to eternal, everlasting, wonder, love and praise.

 So it is with a grateful heart, that I express overwhelming thankfulness for my own wonder, love, and praise in my heart.

And so it is.  Amen.

The Highest Mind

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.

Planting a Mental Garden

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.

I now speak my word for myself and for all, as I align myself with the principles of Surrender.

I embrace Life with joy, without reservation and in complete abandonment.

I accept that everything in the universe lives because it has a Divine spark incarnated in it.

I release fear, so that I am able to venture into the vast estate that is mine in the universe.

The God in me expresses as Love, giving-ness and self-surrender to the Divine creation.

I realize that everything that I encounter responds to me at the level of my state of consciousness.

I strive for courage, love, balance, poise and non-judgement, so that I may have a healing effect on others.

I surrender to loving everyone and I surrender by releasing fear of anything.

By releasing fear, doubt and hatred, I surrender my entire self to the greater influx of Life.

I embrace love as the highest Principle that Life has to give us, because it is Life acting in unity with itself.

Through my expression of love, I allow myself to sit in the sunlight and to be bathed by its warm embrace.

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

And so it is.

Amen

I treat to be that which I seek for myself.

I seek to reveal myself to myself.

I expect to receive exactly what I have given to others and have become myself.

I seek to harmonize with beauty, truth, goodness and love.

I recognize that spiritual mind healing and demonstrations come from living in harmony with the spiritual universe, establishing in my body a psychosomatic relationship.

I recognize that the mind and the body are the same thing.

I seek to embody the presence of peace, wholeness, love, harmonious relationships and prosperity.

I recognize that the spiritual universe gives me exactly what I need, because it resonates with my being at all times.

With a grateful heart, I express overwhelming thankfulness

For more love, more kindness, more understanding and more compassion in my life.

And so it is. Amen.

 I now speak my word for myself and for all,

 As I align myself with the principle of compassion for the Florida shooting victims.

I affirm that I live in a community where the humblest and the weakest person can enjoy the highest civil, economic and social rights as the most powerful possess.

I affirm that the cost of liberty is less than the price of repression.

I acknowledge that a friend encourages my voice and my right to grow.

And I resist any attempt to diminish individual power.

 I let this recognition flow through my entire consciousness.

Walking the Walk

Walking the Walk

Let’s take this moment to invoke the Presence of Spirit.

Its goodness, its light, 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 Spirit’s power.

 

I stand firm at times of challenge and controversy.

I seek to eliminate poverty, child poverty, low wages, and lack of access to health care, lack of environmental protection, lack of immigrant and LBGTQ protection, and against voter suppression.

I seek to reverse legislation that is harmful to the poor, the elderly, the sick, and the disenfranchised.

I honor Moral Mondays that promise the American dream for those too frequently overlooked or left behind and to improve the lives of all people.

I live to awaken the heart of a nation.

I see it as an issue of “Right vs Wrong” for labor rights, for women’s rights, for education, for helping people when they are unemployed.

I awaken hearts with the power of love, with the power of mercy and by fighting for justice for all in a Democracy.

I strive to change the national consciousness by changing my own consciousness.

I stand for justice, inclusion, love and breaking all chains that oppress.

I believe in the power of love.

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

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

And so it is. Amen
