Affirmation:  I see the earth as whole, perfect, and healthy now and always.

In the sweetness of this moment, I recognize there is only One Power, One Presence, and One Life. This Divine Presence is perfect, whole, and complete. It is all creation, all power, all harmony, and all peace and all balance.

In recognizing this, I know that everything is connected to this Divine Presence. As it surrounds and runs through everyone and all things. There is never any separation from this Divine Presence.

I realize and know that the earth is a whole, perfect, and healthy planet in this amazing spiritual universe. The earth is always being divinely guided in every aspect of its evolution. That there is always divine guidance for each one of us in doing what is ours to do to put out the fires and to let go of the drought. The rains will come in the right and perfect time to nourish those areas afflicted by drought and fire. We continue to see the earth as vibrant, dynamic, and healthy planet that supports all life.

With this realization, I experience a sense of gratitude and joy now and always.

I now release these words into the Law of Mind. Knowing it is done. And so, it is.

Prayer for Clarity

 

Recognizing the presence of Spirit everywhere. Spirit is love and peace. Spirit is the all knowing, all powerful, indwelling presence that is always available. Spirit is wisdom and power. Spirit is the creative force behind everything.

I am one with this Spiritual essence. I have within me all of the wisdom, power and love that is available equally to each person reading this prayer. I have within me that creative intelligence and power for good. 

I now align with the wisdom of Spirit. I declare that I can use this wisdom and power within me to make good decisions for my life.  I open to Spirit's wisdom and love to show up in my life to guide and direct me in all decisions. I listen for answers and Spirit expresses them so I can hear them and understand. When I release fear, the answers become clear. When I release anxiety, knowledge and information flows in. I affirm an easy release of anything that doesn't serve me in this time. I allow Spirit to show up in various ways in my life to help me reach clarity. I feel supported and willing to listen to Spirit's guidance in whatever way it shows up.

I am grateful for this time of remembering the truth - that Spirit is always here with me. I am thankful that I can get clarity by listening and letting go.

I release my word now into the law that acts on it right away. I can let it go and rest in the goodness. And so it is. Amen.

Prayer for Healing

 

This moment is the only real one. Everything else is either a memory or a dream. The creator of all life resides in each present moment and is the giver of loving kindness, miracles, magic, and perfection. When I turn my attention toward it, my willingness to have a shift in circumstances opens wide.

I know that my connection to Spirit is firm. My channel to enlightenment and light is so wide that the healing is able to pour forth. There is nothing blocking it.

As I move forward into this journey of healing, all medical specialists are amazed at the progress of the healing and the apparent magic and miracles. My faith is strong and my connection to the divine is wide open. I affirm that miracles have already taken place and uplifts everyone involved. Everything that needs to take place, is realigning perfectly for the greatest and highest good. The rest of the healing happens as needed which brings back vibrant vitality. I know healing is already happening and my faith is made stronger with each day as the progress continues.

Feeling these immense blessings and the sense of gratitude is where I like to rest.

I submit this spiritual mind treatment to the movement and activity of the law which takes the impress and transforms everything for the highest and greatest good. I allow it all to unfold in its divine way.

And so it is. Blessed be.

Simple Spiritual Mind Treatment for Children

Volunteering in the nursery was the first service I embraced at the Center for Spiritual Living, Santa Rosa in the late 1990's. Taking care of babies and toddlers was my joy and their parents or grandparents could have some uninterrupted time to take in the message. At that time, I did not have any grandchildren, and I loved being with those little ones and recognizing Spirit expressing as these curious beings.  Each Sunday, we taught these toddlers a candle lighting ceremony with felt candles and flames. They loved taking turns "lighting" the candles. The teacher spoke these words as the children put up the candles one at a time.  God is life, I am life. God is light, I am light. God is joy, I am joy. God is peace, I am peace. God is love, I am love. God is beauty, I am beauty. God is power, I am power. After that, we taught them a short spiritual mind treatment with arm movements that the toddlers enthusiastically joined in doing. Those first two lines have stuck with me and I use them when I need a shortcut to get to the realization step.  Here is that prayer for children with hand/arm movements.

Recognition: God is all there is.  (Open arms wide)

Unification: I am one with God. (Hug yourself)

Realization: I have everything I need. (Hold hands out, palms open facing up)

Thanksgiving: I give thanks. (Place hands at the heart, palms together)

Release: And I let go. (Swing arms up in the air)
