Creating Peace

Creating Peace 

The Genius creator of all there is, known as God, is the divine intelligence that is everywhere present all of the time.  From the largest galaxy to the smallest atomic particle, this creative presence is amazing.  Its nature is peace, love, beauty, balance and harmony and it exists eternally.

My life is animated by this creative power and it motivates the words of this prayer.  Just as my life is a living expression of this intelligent presence, so are all of us, unique, diverse, and each a one of a kind.

This prayer affirms that regardless of circumstances in our personal world or our planet, the inner landscape of our personal experience is calm and peaceful.  Every experience is an opportunity to see the Divine cloaked in the garb of our personal expectations.  Tending our thoughts like a garden, we weed out negative, destructive, unproductive thinking.  In its place we plant seeds of love, joy, and peace.

Minding our practice, we devote time daily to commune with nature, cultivating our relationship with the Divine in our own unique ways.  This brings a sense of calm, allowing life to live through us unobstructed. 

Grateful for this deep connection with the Divine, I release this prayer to those spiritual laws that bring more love, peace and joy into our experience.

And so it is. Amen.

To Know Oneness with Spirit

To know oneness with Spirit

There is a presence in the universe that is always giving itself to all of creation. It is the creative life force that connects life to itself. It is the one mind forever conscious of itself and all creation. This presence, this life force, this one mind is ever-present, all-knowing and all-powerful. It is present in all of existance.

Therefore, it is present in me and in my life. I am one with the life force that animates my being. The one mind is my mind. This one presence is fully present in me. It is who and what I am. It is all that I am.

I open to a greater experience of oneness. I feel it and I know this oneness deep inside myself in the moments of quiet. I know and express this oneness in all the activities of my life. My awareness is bright and clear. I notice, I remember, I give my attention consciously to this experience of oneness which is always available to me. I devote myself to nurturing and supporting this connection.

I am grateful for this realization of oneness in my experience.

I release this word into the creative medium which responds fully to its highest intent.

And So It Is

Peace Prayer

“Peace is the power at the heart of God.”

This Power is always available, endlessly expressing in creative forms. The divine energy which everything is made up of is molded uniquely as each one of us.  We are the representation of God in the here and now.  In the endless time that brings us to this present moment, I share this prayer of peace for us and this planet as we continue to evolve.

Let common sense prevail and calm heads unite in our government and the nations of this world to bring about Good.  Everything now is aligned by divine forces of spiritual law to bring about peace.  Peace rises within the hearts of humanity to see more clearly the commandment that we love one another.  Leaders emerge that see the deep spiritual connection of our precious planet and its residents and work together to strengthen all avenues to peace.  Peace is the vision, love is the strategy, and practice is the means that we heal ourselves and our world.  Thus, I affirm that these elements are already active in our lives; and we are free to be a stand for peace in the world.  We bring it into our interactions with our self and others, and this encourages others along their path to peace.

Peace is my foundation now.  When I am shaken from it I say: Breathing in, I calm my body. Breathing out, I smile. Dwelling in the present moment, I know this is a wonderful moment.

With gratitude for the feeling of peace, calm, and wellness regardless of what is going on, I let this prayer go confident the spiritual laws have already made it so.  And looking for, we find more peace in our world as we go about our lives, and this uplifts others.

And so it is.

Healing for our Planet

Recognizing Divine Spirit, the center of all life, where at its core peace resides in an unwavering and ever expanding way, just like the ripple of a pebble dropped in a pond.   This invisible presence is the Divine Source of all life, it cannot be seen, but it can be felt in every act of love and peace, as the formless that gives rise to the formed.  It is eternal and changeless, the source of all creation.  It is the recognizing Divine Spirit, the center of all life, where at its core peace resides in an unwavering and ever expanding way, just like the ripple of a pebble dropped in a pond.   This invisible presence is the Divine Source of all life, it cannot be seen, but it can be felt in every act of love and peace, as the formless that gives rise to the formed.  It is eternal and changeless, the source of all creation.  It is the pattern of perfection in all, as all, through all.  There is nowhere this peace is not.

 I am one with this power and this presence right here, right now, as me, in me, and through me.  Every part of my body is in harmony with the Living Spirit of Peace within me.  Every thought, every action is aligned with peace, it is the true nature of my being.  It is my divine center, the sustenance of my life, and the power behind my word.  And just as I know this is the truth of my being, I know it is the truth of every being on this planet, for we are ONE, united and inseparable!   

It is through the grace of God I speak my word for and about, each and every one, knowing through the intention of this prayer, an opening for healing our planet has taken place.  I accept a greater awareness of Spirit for each transgression we may feel and replaced with a greater knowing and trusting that we are never alone and that no matter how bleak or hopeless it may seem, God is always there lighting the way to a greater power within us that transcends any seeming challenge we may be experiencing. I claim and accept for each of us, an absolute knowingness that peace resides in the hearts of each and every world leader and decision maker, and that ultimately peace, unity and inclusivity reign supreme!   

 It is with a grateful heart and joy filled expectancy I give thanks for the shift in consciousness I know has taken place in me, and in and through each of us as the One Mind, of which we are all connected. 

 I release my word into the Law with deep faith and conviction that as it is spoken, so it is done.  

 So Be It and So It Is. 

 Amen!

Love and Peace in Every Heart

The creative spiritual substance of the universe is love. Love is forever invigorating, renewing, revitalizing, and it is pure substance. It exists throughout all creation. Love is the sole impulse and the greatest incentive. It is everywhere present as the impelling force in all life.

As we are created from this love and filled with it, we merge with the All That Is. There is nothing outside this immeasurable love. The natural byproduct of love is peace. As we love, peace merely comes to us.

So as world and national and local events arise, and we humans forget that love is all there is, I speak word on behalf of all of us in this moment. I claim and accept that as we awaken and remember the love, peace returns in each heart and mind. As each of us utilizes our spiritual tool of remembering, it affects all life. So in this moment I accept for each of us a willingness to be willing for brand new beginnings by virtue of our spiritual intention. I claim and accept that each of us is a powerful vessel of love which produces the peace that is so necessary for the world right now.

I celebrate the joy this practice brings as we each participate in unison. It is with gratitude that I release this spiritual mind treatment to the law which manifests it as our experience. I let it be done, easily, and so it is.

Peace in Our Time

Peace In Our Time

There is one creative cause of all life, one powerful flow of peace-commanding Spirit. Infinite Creator, the only Presence and the only Power. God is total peace, heartfelt love, absolute calm, breathtaking beauty and unending joy.

I have a consciousness of Oneness. All that God is, I am. I live and move and have my being in the flow of peace, wisdom, clarity, wholeness and joy of Spirit. My life is rich with meaning, and I reside in an inner glow of peace and well-being. As I feel complete peace in mind, heart and soul, a feeling of well being fills my world. Peaceful is my way of life. And of course, as this is true of me, it is true of all humans, indeed of all beings everywhere. My thoughts, actions and words of peace express my God nature, the truth of who I am. As I focus my inward thoughts of peace in my life, my family, my community, the Universe become more peaceful.

I welcome and celebrate peace in our world, in all creation, in the Universe. No matter what is being said in world news, I realize and claim there is calm, wisdom, compassion, kindness, and light flowing to and through our world leaders from the one source of Divine Intelligence, Spirit itself. 

This rich, gentle, and endless stream of the peace that is the Divine fills my heart to overflowing, and I am truly grateful.  I am full of grateful appreciation as these gifts of peace show up and unfold in our world leaders, people of all nations, and on our planet  at this time.

I release this Truth into the Omnipresent Law of Mind, knowing that it is done according to my word.

 And So It Is

Prayer for Peace

There is a Power for Good. There is a Power of Good. Its nature is Peace, Light, Life, and Love. It knows only Its own Reality of Good, Peace, Light, Life, and Love. It is eternal and infinite. 

This Thing of Good has taken form as me. This Infinite and Eternal Peace is my true nature. This Essence of Light guides my intelligence. This Energy of Life courses through every aspect of my being. This One Who is Love Itself expresses as me.

And of course, as this is true of me, it is true of all humans, indeed of all beings everywhere. We are expressions of the One Good, Peace, Light, Life and Love. It lives Its eternal Life in us, around us, through us, and as us.

So I welcome a revealing of this Good as I encounter world news. I embrace and amplify Peace as I express human kindness, caring, and compassion. I open my spiritual eyes to witness the Light of Divine Intelligence unfolding through our global leaders. I affirm and support the power and invincibility of Life as I dwell in the faith that all is well. I remember that truly Love is the only Power -- the ONLY Power. And as these mental realizations grow and expand in my consciousness, so they indeed become real -- become realized -- in my experience of myself, and my experience of those near and far, including those with political power. This Good must show up in my experience, expressing as life-affirming peace, rational intelligence, loving thoughts, words and actions, and well-being for all.

With joyful anticipation, I give thanks for the way that these things show up in my world, on our planet, at this time.

With nothing more to add, I release this Word to that which knows how to make it so. 

And so It is. Ashe'. Blessed be. Amen. Ho.
