Thank You Veterans

I appreciate and say thank you to our veterans ...

To express gratitude for the power of Spirit manifesting good in my life.

Here I sit with sunshine streaming through the window... and thoughts streaming through my mind ... war, civil liberties, family... I breathe deeply and let it go ... I breathe deeply and let the thoughts go ... I breathe deeply and accept the inspiration of Spirit into the stream of consciousness ... I breathe deeply and relax into the flow ... I breathe deeply again and again ...

Settling into this gentle rhythm ... I allow the words to come easily and naturally ...

There is one power, one presence, one creative force in this universe; I feel it in me now, I see it all around me now. The intelligence behind the breath, the force behind the sunlight, the source of consciousness is that which we call by many names: God, Great Spirit, the Thing Itself, Allah, Jehovah, Nature ...

I take this time now to tune into this Intelligence as it manifests in me, as me now. I know I am one with this Source now and always, and that my life flows forward with It as my guide. I take this time to listen to Its special message for me, now. And as I transcribe this message, I know it is for each of us in the Oneness of life, of creation, of being that we share.

I accept this inspiration as Spirit's gift today. I accept the power it brings into my life to face the demons that arise to block my way. I accept the power of Love to move us through all obstacles to our birthright of peace, joy, beauty, power. I accept the natural abundance of Spirit into my life now and always, in all forms: material, spiritual, emotional.

I give thanks for the gift of human life. I give thanks for the gift of consciousness. I give thanks for the ability to be self conscious. I give thanks for the ability to cocreate my life with Spirit. I give thanks for the people and beings around me that are active in my life. I give thanks for my emotions and feelings that enrich my life. I give thanks for the beauty I find in myself and all around me. I give thanks for those that have gone before leaving their gifts of love for us. I give thanks for knowing the unstoppable power of love to heal all things and bring us into divine harmony when all is said and done.

Today I give special thanks to all those that serve and have served in the Armed Forces, putting themselves in harm's way, in faith believing, to preserve for us all that I am thankful for today.

As I release these words, these thoughts, these feelings into the creative process, into the flow of life, into the outpicturing from the source, I take special care to honor myself and my loved ones for perseverance in pursuing the goal of happiness, for in truth we are one and reach the goal together. And so I let it be.

Blessed are We

Law of Attraction -- Moving Forward

I feel peaceful, calm and self-assured ...

For You to feel the limitless strength of Spirit, including inspiration, faith and willingness to move forward, and use the flow of that strength through you.

I am one with the infinite Spirit. I breathe this truth in ... and I breathe it out; It is always with me and It is always true. Relaxing into this truth, into this rhythm of life. I let go of all thoughts except the thought of Spirit. Spirit in me, Spirit everywhere equally present. In this whole universe there is no place Spirit, the energy of creation, is not present right now. This is the allness, the wholeness, the perfection of life. Wow ... Yes! ... I take it in ... I let it flow ... I let it go ...

In the center of my being, in my heart where I, the individual, am connected with Spirit, the wholeness, I relax and feel the truth in me, as me, ever flowing, ever growing. I know I am one with the omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent Spirit of Life, and I know that the strength that is creating the universe is in me right now, creating me. I consciously turn my attention to this truth, and relax into its security and promise.

Here, in my heart and the heart of the universe, I breathe deeply and go deeper into the oneness. I claim and accept the strength I find here as mine to use for my growth and evolution and for the growth and evolution of those around me. I know, feel and act with this strength as inspiration, faith, and a willingness to move forward. I take all the time I need to relax into this moment and feel my connection with Spirit.

I feel peaceful, calm and self-assured here and I know and affirm that I always return here instantly when I need guidance and that I always find it. I open my mind and heart to accept the urging of my intuition, for I know that it comes from this center, my center, I am now experiencing. My intuition is always right; every decision I make in harmony with my intuition is right. I accept this truth and move out into the world bold and confident of the goodness I bring to it.

Thank you Spirit for the gift of creativity and strength I feel in me right now. I know and accept that this power is always with me and joy, peace and beauty, too. Life is Good, life is full. I accept it. I bless it.

Now I release these words to the ever present flow of creativity and know they are manifest here in my life even as I speak them. In truth I let this be and in truth it is so.

Yes!

Law of Attraction -- Project Guidance

Thank you God for your constant presence ...

For You to be one with the perfect unfolding of each project you are involved in; knowing that the Mind of God inspires you, and each party involved, to divine right action for the highest good of all concerned.

Breathing deeply I relax ... Yes there is one God, one Intelligence, one Presence everywhere equally present in all the universe ... I breathe this awareness in and I breathe it out ... In this action I align myself with the natural unfoldment of Life ... I align myself with the master plan ... I breathe naturally and easily ... relaxing into a peaceful communion with God ...

Being one with God and the natural unfolding of the universe, I consciously choose to listen to and follow the inspiration that comes freely and easily in this meditative state. I know these ideas, that bubble up from my heart, guide me truly; so I take care to release my busy mind and just breathe ... I let go of concern and worry and turn my attention to the naturalness of breathing. Here I feel my heart beating and acknowledge this part of my body as a metaphorical connecting point to the larger universe; to God. As I place my attention here, I find a peace and naturalness beyond the busyness; I find a depth beyond the immediate; I find connection to divine purpose.

I accept this feeling of solidness, of a firm foundation. I breathe into it ... I move into it and immerse myself in it. Here I am safe; here I am sure; here I am secure. Here I affirm the rightness of my actions and the unfolding of my work in the world. I know I am guided, inspired and motivated by this inner foundation; this inner connection to the divine unfoldment. And knowing this for myself, I know this for each one involved with me in these projects. We are a team, a community, an alliance to bring forth this work and the good that comes with it. I relax into this knowledge and am happy. I accept this feeling, this knowing and move forward inspired by and grounded in the truth.

Thank you God for your constant presence. I know I am never alone. I accept your guidance, presence and power now and always as I move in the world. I say Thank You each day for your gifts. And release these words into your loving presence knowing they are true and manifest even before they are spoken; for this is the way of the Law. And so it is and so I let it be.

Amen
