Perfect Healing

 


There is only one life. One power and presence that is in and through all people, places and situations, and this is what I call Spirit – the creator of all. Spirit is good and only good; it is peace, joy, harmony and balance. Spirit is health and wisdom, clarity and comfort. Every moment is filled with the all-ness of Spirit, and Spirit gives freely of itself to one and all, never judging, never holding back, just freely giving.

Because I exist, then I, too, must be a part of the creative essence of Spirit. The love that Spirit is surrounds me; the peace that Spirit is fills me; the health that Spirit is, is mine to accept in every moment, for Spirit is in every moment, just waiting to give to me my heart’s desire – all I need do is open and say YES! And as this is true for me, I know that it is also the truth about anyone reading this prayer because we are all surrounded and imbued with the health, comfort, goodness and Spirit-ness that Life has to offer.

And so as I speak my word in the first person, I invite all who are reading this to join with me as I consciously affirm and claim perfect healing. I declare that anything I need to bring my body into perfect harmony and comfort is provided for easily and effortlessly. Perfect healing is starting even as I write this prayer, and continues up to, during, and through any medical appointment, procedures, or surgeries I may have. I claim anything standing in the way of my complete healing is easily and completely removed, and any discomfort or unease that I may have been feeling melts away into an experience of peaceful calm throughout my body. I’m also accepting an experience of peaceful assurance that I am in good hands and all will work out for my highest and greatest good.

With a heart overflowing with gratitude for knowing this truth,

I release this, my word, into the creative essence known as the Law, to be made manifest in form and action. And so it is!

Uncertainty


There is one life divine and it is infinite in nature. All that there is, is a part of this container of life, ever expanding, growing, changing. Everywhere life is, Spirit is an active part. This oneness of life connects every sentient being and provides the container for ongoing life as it evolves and continues no matter what. Spirit is love and Spirit is peace. And Spirit is the power for good behind all life.

I am one with this ever-changing life. What is true for Spirit is true for me. I am love and peace. I hold within me a power for good so strong that nothing in this material world can oppose it. I am a part of this container of life guided by Spirit.

I am supported by love. I am supported by Spirit. I am supported right where I am right now. I know that whatever is going on around me, I am still supported by Spirit. No matter what shows up in my life, whatever challenge confronts me, and whatever change awaits me, I am supported by Spirit. As I tune in to the power of Spirit, I feel it’s blessing. As I align with the power of Spirit, I know I can face whatever shows up in my life. As I hear that still small voice of Spirit, I feel the support and move boldly into the day with renewed confidence. I know that I am guided through every movement and circumstance in my life. I affirm that I am able to ride out any storm that comes my way as I listen for Spirit’s guidance.

I give thanks now for this time of remembering the truth that Spirit hears every prayer. I can let go of this prayer, as I release it into the law. I can let go and trust that it is made manifest in form.

And so it is. Amen.

Unlimited Possibilities


The first spark of light is the divine, the creator of all life that is in, through, and as all of life. It is divine perfection that illuminates, animates and creates from love, all that is.

Each of us is a divine miracle walking on this planet at this time.

As we consciously turn our attention toward this miraculous, mysterious creator and merge with its thoughts, our experience shifts from whatever is troubling to unlimited possibilities. That is the prayer today. I accept for each of us, openness and expectancy for the magic and miracles of enlightenment through Divine Mind pouring forth new transformational thoughts and experiences for each of us at this time, in this place. As we light our own Spirits’ within, with the idea of unlimited possibilities, all that troubles melts away.

That is the spiritual mind treatment that I gratefully move into the law where the impress is taken immediately, for our highest and greatest good, no matter what. And that’s what I allow to unfold divinely this day.

And so it is. Blessed Be.

Oneness with Spirit

 

There is one Life, one source for all that is, one energy & essence that is in all people, places and situations. I call this all-ness Spirit. It is the beauty of a sunset, the power of a storm, the joy of a child, and the gentleness of a spring rain. Spirit is the creator of all that is, and Spirit has total unconditional love for all it’s creation. There is nothing outside of or beyond Spirit, for Spirit is all there is.

Which means that all that Spirit is, is right where I am – in me, as me, surrounding me and supporting me in every moment. There is no circumstance or situation that is beyond the loving heart of Spirit, no place that is without the strength and peace of Spirit. Whether I recognize it or not, Spirit is always present, just waiting for me to let go and trust. As this is true for me, it is true for anyone reading this prayer, for Spirit’s heart is within each one of us, the common thread connecting us with each other.

As I speak this prayer in the 1st person, I invite all who read this to do the same as I claim for myself a greater awareness of my oneness with Spirit. I allow myself to fully participate in this thing called life, co-creating with love and a conscious awareness of the present moment. I accept for myself a greater opening to experiencing love and joy, and I allow the peace of Spirit to fully fill me to overflowing every moment of every day.

With a heart overflowing with gratitude for answered prayer, I just say thank you Spirit.

And I release this, my word, into the immutable law, and I let it be. And so it is.

Spiritual Mind Treatment for Peace, Justice, and Compassionate Action

Step 1 – Recognition
The Creative Power of Life expresses itself through all creation. It is the Source of Peace. Ever-present, it reveals itself through diversity, unity, the prospering flow of connection, and endless possibilities. This Life knows no division, no lack, no exclusion—only the seamless outpouring of its own nature, forever present and available.
 
Step 2 – Unification
I am one with this Infinite Source. Its qualities of unity, creativity, wisdom, and more are within my being. I am created from it. It’s life flows and moves through me, as me, and in all my actions, words, and intentions. I am an active participant in its expression, inseparably connected to the vast and loving Intelligence that animates all life.
 
Step 3 – Realization
I recognize today the spiritual reality that peace is unfolding even now from the seeds of loving kindness being planted everywhere.. Justice is rising through every voice lifted in truth. Unity holds us together even as we celebrate our wondrous diversity. I use the creative power of my mind to imagine and claim that abundance flows to every person, and compassionate care uplifts those in need. Safety and respect bloom together, replacing fear with understanding. Every child receives the education needed to thrive. Our well-being and the earth's well-being move hand in hand, nourishing future generations. I envision our leaders standing for the highest ideals, so our nation’s global presence may be one of hope, justice, and peace to the world. Love—the highest hope of humanity—shines through each one of us, weaving a rich and radiant community of possibility.
 
Step 4 – Thanksgiving
I celebrate the spirit of gratitude, a living current that lifts my heart. I bask in the feeling of thankfulness that naturally flows from recognizing Life’s ever-giving nature. Gratitude rises within me, simple and profound, an inner song of joy and appreciation for the Creative Power that animates all.
 
Step 5 – Release
With trust and surrender, I let this treatment be. I place it into the Law of Life, knowing it is already fulfilled, complete, and unfolding in perfect order. 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.

Turning Fear into Faith


There is one life, I call it Spirit. It is the one eternal presence and power for good. Spirit is all around, in all things. Spirit is everlasting love. Spirit is radiant peace. Spirit is the creative joy behind all actions and aspects of life.

If Spirit is everywhere, then it must be right here within me. I am an expression of Spirit’s love. I am an expression of the joy that Spirit is. And I am filled with the peace that Spirit is.

As I align my thinking with this ever-present flow of good, I am filled with confidence and faith. I affirm that faith in this power for good overcomes fear. I allow faith to flush out any fear that may be in my way. I now look past the fear of the unknown toward the constant loving presence of Spirit. I release anything that blocks my way to knowing more faith in my life. I know that I can live my life without fear if I keep aligned with Spirit’s love. So I call in the faith to sustain me in my darkest times. I feel my faith grow and bloom as I do my spiritual work to feel the constant love of Spirit in my life. Closer than my breath, Spirit is always present in my life.

With great gratitude for this realization of turning fear to faith, I can rest. I can let go of fear and negative thinking and open to a lightness of being.

I can now release my word into the law that makes it so. And so it is. Amen.
