Perfect Health


There is one mind, one life divine, one loving Spirit. It is this one which creates and sustains all life. Well-being is its true state of being. Wholeness is its constant state of being. Spirit is all there is.

Right where I am, the power and love of Spirit is. Spirit expresses in me as vibrant, vital energy. The Creative Presence within me expresses through me. I am one with this wholeness and well-being.

As I align with that Spiritual love that is everywhere, I claim perfect health. My natural state of being is wholeness and my body is always working toward better health. I am whole and I am well. I claim that every fiber and cell of my body is functioning at its highest level. In quiet peace, I allow health to envelope me.

I am grateful for this alignment with Spirit’s love and perfection. I am grateful for this prayer that lifts me out of my discomfort.

I release my word into the law and trust Spirit to respond. I let it be. And so it is. Amen.

Be the Light


Spirit is everywhere, all around, in and through all things seen and unseen. This powerful yet gentle source of it all is like a light that shines all the time all over the world. It is the light of love and peace, beauty and harmony and joy. It is never extinguished no matter what is going on.

If Spirit is everywhere, then it must be right here within me. The light of love and peace, beauty and harmony is right here where I am. It is the source of joy in my life and is never extinguished. Even though I can’t see it or feel it, this wonderful source of power and creativity is right here within me.

And now I align with the source of light within me. As I become still, I sense the presence of love and peace within me. As I remember that I am made from this light and I have that love and light within me, I accept this wonderful realization as it shows up in my day-to-day life. I know that it is all I need to find peace and power within me.

I now give great thanks for remembering this truth of my being, that I have light and love within me.

And now I can rest and let go. And so it so. Amen.

New Directions


 
1. Recognition
There is One Infinite Creative Power, a fluid and ever-evolving force that expresses itself through all of existence. This Power is limitless, expansive, and always in motion, bringing life, creativity, and possibility into form. This Presence flows through all things, including my own consciousness.

2. Unification
I am one with this Creative Power. It flows in, through, and as me. Just as this Power is boundless, I, too, am a fluid, creative expression of Infinite Intelligence. There is no separation between me and the creative force that shapes reality. This means that the same expansive potential that animates the universe is available to me here and now.

3. Realization
I realize that no condition in my life is fixed or immovable. What seems solid and unchangeable is, in truth, subject to the fluid nature of the Creative Power within me. I have the ability to focus my creative energy on building new models and new directions. As I name my desires, conceive them in mind, and speak them into being, Life's infinite potential supports me in their manifestation.

I affirm that I have the power to shift my mindset and embrace challenges as opportunities for growth. I release limiting beliefs formed by culture, upbringing, or experience. My deeper mind is fertile ground for new, expansive ideas that serve my highest good. I am open to the possibilities that arise when I align with the creative flow of Life.

4. Thanksgiving
I give thanks for the fluid, limitless nature of the Creative Power that flows through me. I am grateful for the ability to recognize, name, and create new possibilities in my life. I appreciate the wisdom, strength, and flexibility that allow me to land firmly in my spirituality, no matter what challenges arise. I celebrate the new directions that unfold from my conscious intention and creative action.

5. Release
I release this word into the Infinite Law, knowing it is acted upon and made manifest with grace and ease. I let go, trusting that the Creative Power of Life flows effortlessly toward my attention and intention. It is done, and so it is.

Sort Out Life in Divine Right Order


I know there is One Life, One Spirit and One Intelligence that is equally present everywhere in the Universe. Resting securely in this knowing, in this feeling, in this truth, I am one with It as a unique expression of Oneness. And as a unique expression of this Oneness I have all the qualities of Spirit and Intelligence right here, right now. My expression is one with the whole and, at the same time, one of a kind. I enjoy this understanding, this presence, and relax into it with a feeling of unlimited possibilities spread out before me.

In this relaxed, creative, unlimited state of mind I speak my word knowing my words initiate change in my life. I know and feel and experience the divine order of the Universe unfolding one step at a time as does my life, as does each life.

I affirm that in this unfoldment each step grows out of the preceding one and that each one moves me toward realizing my highest good. With Spirit as my guide, I move forward confident, secure, strong. Now, trusting fully and completely this reality, I appreciate each miracle, each challenge, each revelation, each solution, for just what it is: another step along the way. I open my mind, heart and body to accept the inspiration of Spirit with each breath I take, with each thought I make, with each word I state as I consciously enter fully and completely into the process of life.

With my awareness fully engaged in this spiritual unfoldment, I find myself one with the abundance of the universe ... by freely and easily giving the special gifts my unique expression brings to the world, I am gifted in return. I know this is true for me and I know this is true for each one because we are all subject to the same universal laws in our own unique unfoldment. This is good, very good.

With deep humility and appreciation I gratefully accept this Truth right here and right now. I know Spirit works through natural law to create my good even before being asked, and as I release these words to the law of creation, I know this Truth is present even now in my life.

And I simply let it be so ... and so it is.
