Energy and Aliveness

Creative Power of Life is the pulse at the center of all existence. It is the animating force that moves through every living thing. It is energy in its purest form, inexhaustible and ever-renewing. It is clarity, the light by which all things are known. It is strength, the ground that holds and sustains without effort. It is aliveness itself, expressing as movement, as breath, as the joy of being present. This is its nature, now and always.

I am an expression of this Creative Power of Life. Its energy moves through me. Its clarity is my clarity. Its strength is my ground. And Our spiritual community is equally this expression. The vitality that is the essence of Creative Power of Life lives in Our spiritual community as its own nature. The aliveness that pulses through all existence pulses through Our spiritual community now.

Genuine vitality and aliveness are active in Our spiritual community now. Energy is the substance of every gathering, every conversation, every act of care. Clarity rises in Our spiritual community as understanding deepens. Strength is the foundation Our spiritual community stands upon. Life pours through this community in full measure. Aliveness is not something Our spiritual community waits for. It is what Our spiritual community is.

Thankfulness fills this awareness completely. Gratitude is the natural response to truth recognized. This community rests in appreciation, deep and abiding, knowing what is real.

This treatment is complete. It is released now into the Creative Power of Life, fully, freely, and with ease. It is done.

Prayer for Self-Compassion

There is One Infinite Presence, one Divine Intelligence expressing Itself fully and completely through all of life. This Presence lives within every heart, every breath, every circumstance under heaven. It is the essence of love, compassion, wisdom, peace, and wholeness. I know that this Divine Life includes me now and always.

I recognize that I am inseparable from this loving Presence. The compassion of the Universe flows through me with every breath and every step of my experience. I align myself with gentleness, understanding, and grace. I release the harsh judgments, self-recrimination, regret, and sorrow that once clouded my awareness. I no longer allow confusion or sadness from the outer world to define my inner truth. Instead, I cultivate a deeper awareness of peace, clarity, and loving acceptance.

I affirm that healing energy moves through my mind, body, and spirit now. Depression dissolves into light. Self-criticism gives way to kindness. I forgive myself completely and allow my heart to rest in compassion. I trust the unfolding of life and focus my attention upon the greater good yet to be revealed. With each new moment, I grow stronger in love, wiser in understanding, and freer in spirit.

I give thanks for this truth already unfolding in perfect and divine order. I am grateful for the presence of peace within me, for renewed hope, for clarity, and for the transforming power of self-compassion. I rest in gratitude, knowing that healing is already accomplished.

And so I release this word into the creative law of the Universe, trusting completely in its perfect expression.

And so it is.

Inner Peace

I recognize that the Divine Presence is perfect peace itself, the eternal stillness that underlies all existence. This Universal Spirit is pure harmony, the tranquility that remains constant beneath every surface activity. The Divine Presence is infinite calm, the essence that permeates every moment, every breath, every heartbeat of life. This Universal Spirit is the quiet that exists in the center of all being, the awareness that witnesses all experiences with equanimity. The Divine Presence is serenity, the peace that needs nothing, lacks nothing, and remains forever complete in its gentle, loving presence.

This same Divine Presence that is peace expresses itself as my nature. The stillness that characterizes Universal Spirit flows through my consciousness as my natural state of being. The tranquility that is the essence of the Divine Presence lives and breathes within me. I am one with this calm. The peace that defines Universal Spirit is my true identity, my deepest self, my authentic way of being in this world.

I realize that inner peace is the spiritual reality of my being and I tap into it now. My mind rests in clarity, free from the turbulence of worry or anxiety. My heart beats with the rhythm of divine serenity, and my entire being radiates the calm confidence that comes from knowing my oneness with Universal Spirit. This peace permeates every cell, every thought, every interaction, creating a sanctuary of stillness wherever I go.

My heart is filled with gratitude for this recognition. I feel deep appreciation for the gift of awareness, for the ability to know and experience my spiritual nature. This thankfulness fills me completely, a warm and radiant feeling of joy that celebrates the beauty of divine understanding.

With complete trust, I release this treatment into the loving action of Universal Spirit, knowing that what is true in the spiritual realm is already manifesting in my experience. I rest in the certainty that all is well, and so it is.

Willing to Change

Spirit is everywhere, all around and within all things. Spirit is the source of love and the power for good. Spirit is the amazing life force creating infinite ways of being.

This powerful presence of Spirit is here with me now. It expresses as me and expresses in each person I meet and beyond. Spirit’s love is the love that dwells within me. That power for good is constantly supporting me and sustaining me. This life force that Spirit is, exists within me all the time.

I now affirm that I am ready and willing to change my circumstances. I move forward unafraid with a heart open to Spirit’s call. I put into action now all my dreams and step up with renewed faith and strength in partnership with the power of Spirit within me. I turn away from the past and create anew from this place of love and care. With a greater resolve than I have ever felt, I now jump into this unknown with faith that Spirit is always right there with me.

With a heart full of gratitude for this truth and the ever-giving nature of Spirit, I can be assured that this prayer carries me into a greater yet to be.

I now release this prayer into the law. It is done. And so it is. Amen.

Financial Abundance

There is One Source of all supply and all good. This Love is lavish abundance, pouring its love and its wealth into its entire creation constantly, in full measure, every single moment. This Love is the ultimate in generosity. This all-powerful Source has no beginning and no end, just one magnificent, lavish, complete moment after another.

I am part of this all-ness, this wholeness of Spirit and I feel Its love washing over me now, and always, for I am part of eternity and an important part of the life, an integral part of the wholeness. I am a drop in the ocean of Spirit's love.

Realization
I claim and wholly accept for myself that the lavish abundance of Spirit is alive and well in my life, washing over me in full measure. This truth results in enough wealth for me to spare and to share. All of my family¹s needs are easily met and my heart soars at the very knowing that I am part of this abundant flow. I turn away from the appearance of this world and lock my heart and my mind on Spirit now, thereby accepting the generosity and good that is mine by my very birthright!

I gently and easily, with complete confidence, release my word into the Law, knowing that it is already done. And so it is.

To Experience Physical Health

Recognition
There is only One Power. It is that which is Eternal and Infinite. Its very nature is perfection and wholeness. It has created everything out of Itself, and therefore expresses Itself throughout all of creation. It is present everywhere, and everywhere that it is, It is Whole and Perfect.

Unification
This one divine, perfect One expresses Itself in, through, and as me. I am one with It. Therefore, my very nature is perfection and wholeness, for I am of the body of God. I am made of God-stuff, and right where I am, the perfection of God is.

Realization
I now accept a revealing of my own true divine nature—perfection and wholeness--making Itself known and felt throughout my body. I release anything that is not of this original and true divine nature—any thought, any belief, any physical manifestation--and accept instead the experience of physical well-being in every cell, organ, action and function of my body. And because all within God works in perfect harmony, so all within me must work in perfect harmony, and I accept the experience of all my body’s systems working in harmony for my physical well-being and thriving.

Thanksgiving
I celebrate this well-being that establishes itself in my consciousness. I give thanks for the way my Divine perfect nature makes Itself known, felt and experienced in my body.

Release
I now release this treatment to the Divine Law of Mind, which has no choice but to make this so in my experience. And so it is.

God is creator and source of all that there is -- perfect, whole and complete in every way, All is known and contained in God – all form, all potential, now and eternally.

Unification
I am a unique incarnation of Spirit. Made out of the Mind of God I exist as one with All, like a drop from the ocean or a ray of light from the Sun. Eternally one with the whole, I am an expression of God.

Realization
I know that God’s purpose is happening through me right now, and I accept that this knowing attracts work that is the perfect demonstration of what God has set me here to do. I am open to receiving this into my life now. The ideas of what I am meant to be doing, where and how I spend my time, have always existed and, through my receptivity, are even now moving into my awareness. I declare my mind already contains all the necessary information to be successful. Every fiber of my being resonates with this knowledge, and I allow it to guide me in connecting with my perfect work. I welcome all signs easily recognized by my intuition as I open to the unfolding of great and rewarding work.

Thanksgiving
I give thanks for the knowing that this is true, and for how this Truth shows up in my life as perfect, right work.

Release
I release this Word into Law, knowing it must come back fulfilled. And so it is.
