Love is the Healing Power

There is only one thing going on and it is Love. Every moment Spirit’s Love is always present. It is the creative power in, through and behind all creation. It is the constant support and the healing presence in all of life. Spirit’s love is everywhere present.

I know that I am a perfect expression of this love. I have within me everything I need to use this love in my life. Love is who I am at the Center of my being. Love is always powering my way forward in life and I am align with that love now. 

I declare that love is right here where I am and I use it in my life. I now declare that I lead with love in all things. I rest in this presence of love as a healing power in my life. I claim that this energy of love is who I am at the center of my being and I now replace any thoughts unlike love with loving thoughts. I move forward under the constant banner of love in everything I do. The love within me heals anything I might need and makes my way easy. 

With a heart full of gratitude for remembering the truth of my being, I am filled with joy.

I now release my word knowing it is done. And so it is.

Welcome in Community

RECOGNITION

Divine Presence is the warmth that underlies all existence, the belonging that precedes any moment of separation. It is wholeness without edges, openness without condition. Divine Presence is the tenderness woven into the fabric of life, the kindness that simply is. It is the living field of unity in which all distinct expressions arise, the home that has never closed its door.

UNIFICATION

I am an expression of this same Divine Presence. That boundless welcome is the substance of my being. And so too is the Center for Spiritual Living, Santa Rosa community an expression of this same Presence. Every heart within that community is created from the same wholeness, the same kindness, the same belonging that Divine Presence is.

REALIZATION

I accept that the Center for Spiritual Living, Santa Rosa community moves through its days immersed in genuine welcome. Each person finds their place naturally, as one finds solid ground beneath their feet. Kindness is a recognition, one expression of Divine Presence seeing another. Purpose flows easily, because belonging here is strong and unconditional. The community is a living demonstration of the openness that Divine Presence is, and every member discovers themselves fully received, fully seen, fully home.

GRATITUDE

There is a deep and abiding thankfulness resting in this awareness, a fullness that needs no proof. The heart rests in appreciation.

RELEASE

This is already complete. It is trusted entirely to Divine Presence, released with ease, unfolding in its own perfect way. And so it is.

Trust

 There is One Infinite Presence, one Divine Intelligence expressing Itself as all of life. This Presence is the source of wisdom, love, order, and unfailing goodness. It moves through every circumstance and every experience with perfect intelligence. Even when the way ahead is not yet visible, this Divine Presence is already guiding each step with clarity and grace.

I know that this same Presence lives within me now. I am one with the wisdom of the Universe, and I rest in the certainty that life is unfolding for my highest good. Trust arises naturally within me as confidence in the unseen, a willingness to believe in possibilities not yet revealed, and a quiet assurance that the greater good is already taking shape. Though the outcome may not yet be proven, I know that the seeds of right action and right results are already planted.

I affirm that I move forward with a deep sense of well-being, even in the midst of the unknown. I release the need to have every answer before taking the next step. I trust the wisdom within me and the loving intelligence that governs all of life. Faith steadies my heart. Peace quiets my mind. Confidence strengthens my spirit. What is not yet visible is nevertheless being formed in perfect order. I am guided, supported, and carried by a power greater than my doubts.

I give thanks for the trust that fills my heart and for the calm assurance that all is unfolding as it should. I am grateful for the courage to believe in what I cannot yet see, for the peace that accompanies uncertainty, and for the knowing that life is always working toward wholeness, harmony, and good.

I release this word into the creative law of the Universe, knowing that trust is established within me and expressed in every area of my life. I rest in confidence, peace, and well-being.

And so it is.

To Deepen My Spiritual Practice

Recognition
There is One Power and One Presence that is All There Is. It is Intelligent, and It is Loving. It delights in expressing Itself in, through, and as everything that It has created. It is fully present at every point throughout creation. And it delights in knowing Itself in, through and as Its own creations.

Unification
This means that right where I am, the full Power, Presence and Intelligence of God is present and available to me, and that right where I am God is delighting in knowing Itself in, through, and as me.

Realization
I recognize that my heart’s desire to deepen my spiritual practice is a divine urging. Deep is calling to deep as my individualized mind longs to know and feel more fully and completely the Divine Mind. My desire for a deepened spiritual practice is simply the Divine One beckoning, desiring for me to know It in the way that It knows Itself. So I surrender to this longing of Spirit, and release any resistance to my daily spiritual practice. I accept for myself a revealing of that Divine Intelligence within that guides me into the perfect knowing of how to have a more consistent daily spiritual practice, and provides any resources--internal and external—to support my spiritual practice.

Thanksgiving
With gratitude I welcome my deepened spiritual practice into my mind, heart, soul, and daily life.

Release
I now release this Word to that aspect of God which can only say “Yes” and automatically makes this so. And so it is.
