Beyond all ideas

Beyond all ideas, all thoughts, all words, all deeds, there is the Beloved. The indescribable source of all creation. It is that which moves, and that which holds. That which is incomprehensible, and that which is closer than my jugular vein.

It is that unity I sense in myself now. Within me, always, is the Beloved, holding me close in its compassion, its courage, its creativity. The unconditional love of the Divine One flows through every aspect of my being.

I choose to surrender to the Beloved within. In so doing, I know that I open myself to a love so grand it cannot be spoken of. As I surrender, I know my life is guided and sustained by this love. I know there is nothing I need to figure out about this love. All that is mine to do is simply to accept it in its fullness. As I accept this love, I allow myself to be a channel for this love to flow freely throughout the Earth, knowing that as I am sustained by this love, so too does this love sustain all who I share it with.

Feeling this love within me fills me with gratitude for the boundless generosity of the Beloved within.

I release my word into that aspect of the Beloved that joyfully creates all it is given, and I surrender.

And so it is.

Pain free movement

 

There is one infinite Intelligence that flows through all creation with grace. This vast and powerful essence is life itself, ever growing and recreating itself all the time. Spirit is love, harmony, and the beautiful dance of life, moving easily beyond any physical limitations. Spirit is always giving its gifts equally to all.

I am one with this essence of life. I am a perfect expression of this graceful movement of Spirit in all ways. Everything that Spirit is, I am. As I breathe into life, life breathes itself into me. The love of Spirit flows through me with perfect ease.

My body is Spirit’s expression designed for graceful motion. Each step I take is filled with Spirit’s love. I know that my body is guided by that Intelligence of Spirit. As I step into life, life supports me with effortless goodness. As I align with the natural flow of Spirit, my movement is filled with grace and ease.

I am grateful to know that Spirit has my back. As I give thanks, I can let go of any angst or worry. Knowing this truth, I am free to move with the grace of life.

I release my word now and let it be. And so it is.

Physical Healing

 
There is one perfect, infinite, almighty Spirit. It is this Spirit which creates, nurtures and sustains life. It is the flow of the divine Spirit that animates all that is. Eternal Life, ever present as unconditional love, perfect peace and creative intelligence is guiding and informing all that is into its perfect expression. This beloved Presence includes all that is. It is the only source and the only power.

I am an emanation of this perfect life. I am one with all of the power and all of the intelligence of the beloved Spirit. The flow of life animates me in every moment.

I accept for myself that my physical body is an emanation of the perfection of the almighty Spirit. I am nurtured and sustained by the unconditional love and peace of the perfect One. My well-being is absolutely assured as I claim perfect circulation for myself. There is nothing that can block the flow of perfect life through me. I accept that I am open to the healing power of the medications as they do their perfect work in my body. I declare that every cell, tissue and fiber is right now finding its perfect way of being. I accept comfort, ease and grace for myself and for my family and for all those in service to my healing.

I now give great thanks for this perfect circulation expressing as my wholeness. I celebrate the gift of well-being and openness.

It is with faith and confidence in the highest and best manifestation that I now release this word of prayer into the receptive medium, knowing it is fulfilled.

And So It Is.

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.

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.

Prayer for Divine Guidance

 

I stop in this moment to recognize the one Presence of Life, the Source of all of Creation. It is Infinite Intelligence and the Power that brings forth everything and everyone, making all out of the one substance. It holds and enfolds all that there is, creating anew in every moment. It is Life, Light, and Divine Love. It is the Peace beyond human understanding, And it is right here, right now. It is all there is, ever abiding in its Wholeness. 

 I know that I am one with this Presence. It lives as every aspect of my being, for it has made me in my uniqueness. It is everywhere I am, for there is truly no separation. And I know this Truth for all those I hold near and dear in my heart. It is the Truth for all beings. The One Intelligence animates all. Divine Love and Peace live as the essence of all, for we are made of and by and from this One. 

So I let myself rest in this awareness, to feel its warm embrace. Divine Love comforts me and assures me. I open to the Peace at the center of my being and call upon it to companion me in my life Beyond all that I can see and know, there is only this one Life. I listen for Divine guidance in all I think and say and do. I accept this highest Truth for each and everyone of us, and for our world. For we are all an integral part of the One. I stand firm in this Truth that we may each awaken to this knowing and allow the One Spirit to flow through us and around us. 

 I am thankful for this call home in conscious awareness, for this prayer known and done. And so in gratitude, I release this word and I let it be. 

 And so it is. Amen

Affirmative Prayer for Financial Flow

Spirit serves as the singular Infinite Intelligence in the Universe, the foundation from which all else originates. There is no location or object where the Spirit is absent. The Spirit embodies love, wholeness, beauty, creativity, peace, and abundance. It is the Divine Source that creates and maintains life, manifesting itself in various forms such as the beauty of a rainbow, the innovation of fresh ideas, the love apparent in a baby's smile, the industrious cooperation within a beehive, and the vibrant colors of a meadow. The Spirit is the incomprehensible Presence that uniquely animates each form and thought while simultaneously contributing to a magnificent unity.

This Spirit serves as the Power and Presence within me, granting me life and continuously enveloping me in love and light. I exist within the realm of the Spirit, and the Spirit resides within me. The Spirit acts as both my source and my provision. Everything that exists, everything I possess, and everything I accomplish stems from the Spirit's desire to express its evolutionary intent through me.

As I become more aware of my inherent connection to the Divine, my life starts to expand and flourish, akin to a flower blooming in the nurturing rays of the spring sun. I experience increased love, happiness, creativity, and success. Recognizing that the Spirit is ever-present and inexhaustible, I understand that there is always an abundance of all that is good. Abundance becomes synonymous with the Spirit; my cup overflows. My bank accounts are plentiful, my debts are erased, and I have both money to share and money to keep. I am a highly valued participant in the Divine Givers and Receivers Club.

With a heart illuminated by light, I express my gratitude for this awareness. I am thankful for the shift in consciousness that manifests as financial abundance. I appreciate the love and support enveloping me, paving the way for my inner truth to manifest as my external reality.

In gratitude, I release my thoughts to the Law of the One Mind—a law that acknowledges only affirmative responses, a law that receives my ideas and brings them to fruition without delay. I accept that it is done.

Amen

Affirmative Prayer to Open to the Infinite Flow of Life During Shelter In Place

In and through and as all beingness, there is only One. It is the seen and the unseen divine substance of life. It is the source and sustainer, this presence that is always creating from itself anew in each moment, acting for the highest and greatest good of all creation. It is the beauty, symmetry, balance and harmony imbued in all life. It is the foundation and underpinning of all existence. It is everywhere present, all powerful, the substance of love, ever unfolding.

And It is right here, right now, in through and as all life. It is the source and activity of this prayer. And so it is what I am made of. I live and have my being within the One. As this is true for me it is true for all of life. I am made from and by the Divine and so am irrefutably connected to all beings, to all life. I am, through God's will, an individual outlet for divine expression. There is no place where I end and the rest of life and God begins.

From this understanding I speak my word for and about myself and all of life. I open to the infinite flow of the divine. I recognize that all diverse expressions of life are divine vessels, living in boundless potential for good, joy, generosity and creativity, how life is unfolding. I lean into the realigning of priorities where all of Life's stakeholders are valued equally. I deeply appreciate all medical, first responders and other essential workers and military who continue to serve and show up for all of us. I affirm the ever present God is with all, especially those who have lost family and friends. I affirm gratitude for the love and caring that is expressed in the daily course of events, by individuals, humanitarian groups and organizations that continue to give generously to those in need. I accept that infinite intelligence, love and kindness are everywhere present and available to all concerned. The current situation recognizes no boundaries as the world collaborates and share solutions and resources. I rejoice in the generosity, dedication and ingenuity expressed in my community and throughout the world. I claim and affirm growing patience as I and others abide by the shelter in place order and physical distancing, as humanitarian consciousness grows. I recognize God is everything, God is infinite intelligence and therefore science that is 100% available to inform government agencies, local, national and world leaders and advisors.

I rest in this awareness. I am grounded in this spiritual truth. I let go and let God, confident it is already known and done in the heart and mind of God.


And so it is. Amen

Affirmative Prayer to Participate in the Flow of Life

Every aspect of Reality is forever renewing itself. All the formed and unformed aspects of life are in movement and flow. Life is refreshing, renewing and remembering Itself through the activity of the One Supreme Intelligence. This is the activity of the One Mind, of the Creative Power.

This activity takes place in me and through me. My mind is an aspect of the Divine Mind and my life is a part of the intelligent creative flow of the One Mind.

I am accepting here and now that I remember the newness of every moment. I stay curious and open and willing to be changed by life. I let go of all old ideas. I release all unskillful habits of mind. I step courageously into the unknown territory of each moment. Life evolves, expands and flows through me and I agree with It.

I celebrate my active participation in the flow of life. I give thanks for this revelation of the Spiritual Truth about me and I trust its manifestation in my life.

And So It Is

Affirmative Prayer for our Local Economy

A prayer for our local economy

There is one loving Presence, one perfect Life. It is the life of the divine Spirit and Its nature is perfect circulation, abundance and  balance. It is the very movement of this divine Spirit that flows through all aspects of creation, generating and giving freely the highest good in every moment.

All of creation is participating in the balanced and generous flow of the loving Spirit. There is nothing that can hinder the flow of the Almighty. This includes everything about the economy. It includes all money, all financial affairs, all transactions, all accounts, all business, all institutions  and all individuals.

From this understanding of the oneness of all of life and the way the nature of the divine Spirit is also the nature of all of our affairs, I accept a healthy, balanced, abundant economy. I declare that there is growth and expansion in perfect right order and in perfect right timing. I affirm that the economy in our community and the economy of every individual is fully guided by the powerful, loving Presence that has created life itself. Nothing is lacking or missing, there is only the free-flowing abundance of the one loving Presence. I accept the full manifestation of a healthy economy for each individual and each business. Perfect balance and abundance are fully active in our economy.

Feeling the fullness of this declaration and standing in the power of its truth, I rest in gratitude.

In faith and confidence, knowing all is well, I let go and trust in its full manifestation.

And So It Is
