Support

In the midst of all there is, Spirit is always present. Spirit is love and peace. Spirit is joy and light. Spirit is the power for good that is bigger than anything in this world.

I am a perfect expression of Spirit. I have at my center unlimited peace and love. I have ever present joy and a divine light that leads me forward. I have a power within me that knows beyond anything in this world and supports me always. That is who I am. And I speak my word on behalf of my friends and family, as they too are perfect expressions of Spirit. Everyone I meet and see in my day are Spirit expressing perfectly in their own unique style.

I now claim that I am supported in every way. I know that the perfect expressions of Spirit show up in my life to provide me with any support I need. As I lean into Spirit, those loving connections show up in my life as angels with gifts of love for me. I affirm that I keep my connection to Spirit strong so that nothing in this world overwhelms my sense of peace. And when my connections to others seems frayed, I know that we are connected by Spirit and we are both here to support each other in love. I renew my sense of love and connection whenever it is needed. I silently align with Spirit’s love each day.

With gratitude for the gift of life and all of my connections, I just say thanks.

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

Celebrating Joy

1. Recognition
The Creative Power of Life is boundless, radiant, and whole. It is joy overflowing, love celebrating itself in infinite expressions. It is the source of harmony, the giver of abundance, the One Life shining through all. Everywhere, It delights in Its own creation, forever expanding the circle of good.

2. Unification
I recognize that I am an expression of this Creative Power. Its joy flows through me as naturally as breath. Its love fills my heart as my love, extending beyond me and delighting in the beauty of others’ happiness. This One Life is my life now.

3. Realization
The joy of the Infinite fills me, lifts me, and flows through me. I welcome the happiness of others as part of my own, for we are inseparable in the wholeness of Spirit. Every blessing, every celebration, every success is mine to cherish, for I live in the unity of divine love. I celebrate the good that shows up everywhere, knowing it does not diminish me but magnifies the fullness of life. Rejoicing is natural to me. I live in abundance, free of comparison, open to the truth that another’s joy increases my own.

4. Gratitude
I am filled with gratitude for this realization. My heart is joyous, open, and accepting.

5. Release
With this acceptance, I release my word into the action of the Creative Power, which fulfills it in my experience. And so it is.

Listening to my body’s wisdom

 
Be still and know that I AM. This divine I AM is the essence of all that is good. It is Love, Wholeness, Vitality, Wisdom. These qualities, and all the goodness of I AM infuses every particle of the Universe. At the dawn of creation I AM was all that was present. It exploded into all that is to experience Itself as Its Creation.

I know this to be true, and I know that I am part of I AM experiencing Itself as me. Divinity infuses my being and lives at the center of my soul. The Wisdom, Vitality and Wholeness of God is available to me, and everything, in every moment.

Divinity lives in, through, and as my body. In every moment my body has access to all Its qualities. Wisdom, Vitality, and Wholeness flow through me guiding every choice and decision I make. My choices about what to do, how to be so as to live my best life are all guided by these qualities. I need only to listen to that Guidance. I claim my ability to pay attention and listen to what my body needs and wants to express. I accept this good and feel it unfolding in my life now.

I am grateful for the truth of this gift. It brings me joy to know that I can trust my body, my decisions.

And so it is.
