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 -- Sort Out Life into Divine Right Order

I know and feel and experience the Divine order ...

To let go and let God as I sort out my life and accept Divine right order, including prosperity, into everyday living easily and naturally.

One ever-present Spirit flows easily and gently throughout all creation. I am one with this Spirit as I easily and gently collect my thoughts and relax into this moment, clear my throat and speak these words:

I know there is One Life, One Spirit and One Intelligence that is equally present everywhere in the Universe. Resting securely in this knowing, in this feeling, in this truth, I am one with It as an unique expression of Oneness. And as an unique expression of this Oneness I have all the qualities of Spirit and Intelligence right here, right now. My expression is one with the whole and, at the same time, one of a kind. I enjoy this understanding, this presence, and relax into it with a feeling of unlimited possibilities spread out before me.

In this relaxed, creative, unlimited state of mind I speak my word knowing my words initiate change in my life. I know and feel and experience the divine order of the Universe unfolding one step at a time as does my life, as does each life.

I affirm that in this unfoldment each step grows out of the preceding one and that each one moves me toward realizing my highest good. With Spirit as my guide I move forward confident, secure, strong. Now, trusting fully and completely this reality, I appreciate each miracle, each challenge, each revelation, each solution, for just what it is: another step along the way. I open my mind, heart and body to accept the inspiration of Spirit with each breath I take, with each thought I make, with each word I state as I consciously enter fully and completely into the process of life.

With my awareness fully engaged in this spiritual unfoldment, I find myself one with the abundance of the universe ... by freely and easily giving the special gifts my unique expression brings to the world I am gifted in return. I know this is true for me and I know this is true for each one because we are all subject to the same universal laws in our own unique unfoldment. This is good, very good.

With deep humility and appreciation I gratefully accept this Truth right here and right now. I know Spirit works through natural law to create my good even before being asked, and as I release these words to the law of creation, I know this Truth is present even now in my life.

And I simply let it be so ... and so it is.

Yes!

Law of Attraction -- Peace, Joy, Harmony, Abundance

I carefully craft my attitudes and actions with God's help ...

For peace, joy and harmony with abundant creative flow of material support now.

Sitting here in the stillness of the morning with a gray overcast covering the sky I breathe easily and gently and allow my thoughts to turn to God within me. I consciously breathe in and out the qualities of God: Love ... Peace ... Joy ... Beauty ... Light ... Power ... Life ...

Focused now on God within me, I realize that God is equally present in all I see around me; in truth there is no spot God is not. God the source of all that exists moves through the void in an ever evolving universe filled with these wonderful qualities I am breathing in and out. I am one with this marvelous expression; there is no separation between God and me.

Focused now on my awareness of my oneness with God, I take this time to cocreate with God my life from this moment on; I know the thoughts I think, the words I speak, the actions I take are causative seeds in my personal evolution and the evolution of the world. So I carefully craft my attitude and actions to bring into experience that which supports me and my family most positively.

I know I am an integral part of this evolving world; I have a vital role to play. I move forward with this fact as my support. I am alert to each opportunity that comes my way. I listen attentively to my inner guidance and follow that which moves me toward my goal. I accept support from all that offer it as I give support to all that need it. I consciously enter into the flow of abundance I see in nature all around me. I move through all apparent obstacles to realization of peace, joy, harmony and abundance now.

I need not know how or figure this out. I just accept the action of God in my life and move forward knowing, believing, trusting in my goodness, God's goodness, life's goodness. Thank you God within and without for supporting me now and always.

I release these words into the creative process knowing they bring into manifestation that which supports me and moves me forward in this time of change.

And so I let it be.

Amen

Law of Attraction -- Cocreate positive reality

I dare to be happy right now ...

For You to find the silver lining in your present circumstances and cocreate with God a positive, powerful, evolutionary reality for yourself.

Relaxing now I close my eyes and take a deep breath ... I hold it for a second and slowly release it ... again ... again ... as I continue breathing in this pattern, I notice that it mirrors the flow and rhythm of life ...

There is one Life and this is my Life now ... I feel the power and intelligence of the creator in me and all around me right now ... I relax into this powerful, holy presence and let go of all thoughts except my immersion in the creative power of nature ...

I know there is one power, one perfection one source everywhere equally present in the universe. This is what fills my awareness and experience right now. I relax and move with it in consciousness and thought into the center of my being, where I merge with the center of the universe and am truly whole, perfect and complete.

Having recognized my oneness with the creative power, and being totally immersed in this consciousness, I know each thought and each word that I bring forth is creative and causative in the world of effects. I claim clarity of vision to see exactly who I am now and the path that leads me to my highest expression in the world at this time. I claim my personal power and expression that has served others so beautifully and perfectly up until now to serve me in this time of transition. I recognize the upheaval and change as necessary for my health and evolution. I bless my ex and let them go their own way. I love my children and see only positive and beautiful experiences for them as they move out into the world. I am filled with joy as I watch them grow into the fullness of life and maturity.

Yes, I am filled with the power of Life and I am grateful. I accept myself just as I am and just as I am evolving. I accept the experience of my years and accept the many blessings that they bring me. I dare to be happy right now. Thank you creative power for your presence in my consciousness and your inspiration in my life.

As I have spoken so it is in life and so I let it be.

Yes!

Law of Attraction -- For a Broken Heart

I move naturally on my path toward my greatest good ...

For a broken heart:

As I relax into this morning, there is a deep, dark cloud to the north ... as I turn away from it and look to the south I see blue skies and the sun rising in the east. So it is with life as I deal with a broken heart.

Surrounded by the infinite variety of nature, I breathe in deeply and let it go with a sigh. I take another breath, and this time I breathe in that infinite variety and make it a part of me; I exhale old thoughts and ideas that don't serve me anymore. I open to the new and let go of the old.

I am in the rhythm of life. Now. I feel my heart beating and my breath flowing in and out bringing goodness to me and carrying away that which no longer serves me. In this consistency I feel the spirit of life in me; I know and accept that this spirit in me is the same that is in everyone; we are all connected by this one spirit of life and creation. There is no place in the universe this energy, this force, this creativity is not present. I am encouraged and supported by this feeling and I relax into it and fall deeper into my being.

I affirm the goodness of my life and the people in my life, especially my beloved. I hold as true and beautiful the dream we have spun together. I flush in the memory of its fullness and joy. I breathe in deeply and let it go. I stand tall and strong in oneness with nature and life. I wake from the dream and feel a longing, a sadness for that innocence that is past. I pause here a moment and smile in sweet memory and then move on to what is now.

I breathe in again ... and then let it go ... As I turn my attention to what lies ahead I allow my vision to expand into the future. I stand totally in the present with my attention and awareness focused on my innermost feelings and urgings of the spirit of life within me. I affirm and know that as I allow my decisions to come from this place of quietness and deep self-reflection that I move naturally forward on my own path toward my greatest good. I bless those I meet and move with along the path and bless them when we must go our separate ways. I hold no attachment to any outcome; I open my heart to all possibilities. Yes, life is good. Yes, I take time to stand in the moment and appreciate life and its gifts. Yes, I move on in the flow of life to new experiences.

I know and affirm I live in a universe of infinite variety; of infinite beauty, joy, and love. I am one with this now and forever. I am filled with gratitude for this truth I feel so thoroughly, so deeply in my being. Thank you life for your fullness and expression through me as me. I appreciate your support and guidance. I listen to your messages always and I follow your urgings naturally and easily.

Now I take my leave and release these words into your loving atmosphere. I know their truth is always with me. I breathe it in and I breathe it out. And so it goes; and so I let it be.

Namaste

Law of Attraction -- Enjoy Life as it Appears Every Moment

I happily accept my unique role in wholeness ...

For You to know divine perfection beyond all appearances and to rejoice in Life as it appears in every moment.

I gently center myself ... feeling myself settle into this chair ... feeling my chest and abdomen gently move as my breath flows in and out ... watching my mind peacefully thinking these thoughts ... gradually releasing all attachment ... In this very moment I feel an overwhelming presence of Love welling up inside me; it starts as a warm tingly feeling in my gut and slowly rises through my abdomen to my heart and continues through my throat and head to overflow and bathe me in a golden light. I calmly see this, feel this, accept this. I know there is one Life, one Light, one universal expression that is here with me now. I am consciously immersed in the Oneness of the universe, there is no separation.

As I speak these words aloud I know the perfect presence of the Creator is with me. And I know and declare that as this Intelligence is perfect so am I; there can be nothing else but perfection in this very moment; this moment that, in truth, is eternal and everlasting.

I find my Truth here as I read this prayer aloud. I feel the Joy, Peace, Power, Beauty, and all the wonderful expressions of Love that flow in infinite measure from the Creator as me in this moment. I feel this and so much more that exists in perfect harmony in this perfect creation we all share.

As I contemplate this experience I know it is true; I feel my lips move and my eyes read; I follow the thoughts that come spontaneously to my mind; I sense the wonderful intelligence that enables grass seed to grow grass and cherry stones to make cherries moving through me now; there is an innocence and purity to this contemplation that I know is true, more true than any appearance to the contrary. Life is truly good! I accept and affirm this truth with a deep, abiding faith in this eternal moment, again and again. I allow this feeling to sink into my deepest, darkest recesses bringing light to all the dark places; darkness and negativity are no longer at home in my light filled body or in my joy filled life!

Yes! Thank you Spirit for flowing through me gently and easily leaving behind the light of truth equally throughout my being. I happily accept my unique role in the wholeness, completeness, oneness of life now.

I take these words, these feelings, this profound faith and I release them to natural evolution of creation, knowing their truth resounds for the benefit of all. And so I let it be; and so it is!

Amen

Law of Attraction -- Marriage Confusion

I accept the clarity of true Love ...

For a married person to gain clarity and one-mindedness in their relationship with a spouse giving mixed messages about their commitment to the marriage.

I am confused and dazed by a whirlwind of thoughts mixing up my mind ... I breathe deeply and exhale with a sigh ... Focusing my attention on my breath, I am brought into the present moment and the orderliness of time marching on in a steady beat ... my breath is regular and even, and it joins the march ... I feel my heart adding its rhythm to the forward movement ... The whirlwind is gone now and I am at one with the rhythm of life.

I relax into the fullness of this moment and focus my awareness on the power that is behind all this activity in me. As I relax into the question ... I find there is an intelligence operating in me that is greater than me alone. This power is in everything and everyone around me. This power is in the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees; it is in you and it is in me; there is no place this power is not. Spirit, God, Allah, Jehovah, Yahweh, The Great Spirit, Goddess are a few of the many names this power is known by. Named or nameless, it is always right here where I am. I know it, I feel it, I accept it.

Being one with the creative power of the universe, I choose to speak my word knowing it is creative and causative in the world. I claim for myself and for my spouse only the highest good; that good which furthers each of us on our individual and collective paths to the fulfillment of our purpose here in the world. I know we are drawn together to serve the greatest good. I know that our separation serves our highest purpose. As I relax into this precious time, immersed in Spirit, I let go of the question "Why?" and enter the movement of time with a clear heart and mind.

I feel the power of Spirit in me and I know this same power is with my spouse. I move forward with this power and affirm the same for my spouse. As I focus on the good that comes from our relationship I realize we are immersed in Spirit's love. Love is the common bond that holds us together now and forever, even as individuals with separate lives to live.

I release my expectations and desires to the wisdom of Spirit and follow Love's guidance in all my thoughts, words and actions. I accept the clarity that comes with this decision and remember it always. I know Love is true and that Love's purposes are served regardless of outcome.

I have spoken my heart and release these words to Spirit's Law knowing all is good, true and manifest now. So I let it be and so it is.

Amen

Law of Attraction -- Peace in Wake of Killings

I hold the high watch for lives changed by violence ...

To bring peace, understanding conciliation to the families and community effected by the shootings Monday.

Taking a moment to breathe ... to allow this natural rhythm to establish its normal pattern ... I sit in the sunlight and allow my mind to focus its attention on the oneness of life ...

One creator, one beginning from which all flows forth in unending creativity. One intelligence, one expression of love and life. One source pouring forth creation into a waiting void suddenly animated and filled with the glorious expression of life, love, happiness.

I hold this image dear as I sit here in the sunlight feeling this presence within me and all around me. I relax, I breathe, I affirm the goodness, completeness of this life giving Spirit coming to us with many names but one purpose, to remind us that in truth we are all one. In truth there is no, can be no, separation of one from the other.

Here in this moment I am filled with grief and sadness that any individual can break this bond and bring death to itself and many other expressions of divinity. I am overcome with emotion at the thought of death and destruction. Then I remember to breathe again, to bring that gentle rhythm back into my experience. To feel the sunlight, the air, the touch of my feet on the floor, the solidness of the earth, the love of my family, the joy that lives in the heart of all, in truth, and I am brought fully into this moment, with its wholeness and perfection intact.

Here I grieve for what has happened, and hold each one effected in my thoughts of love and wholeness and oneness with the divine. Here I hold the high watch remembering the truth of those that have departed to the realms beyond this life and send them my love. Here I hold the high watch for those whose lives have been changed forever by this random act of violence and know with and for them their wholeness, completeness and perfection through this incredible change.

Here I express gratitude for the oneness of life that allows me to be a support from many miles away because in truth there is no time or space; we are one living whole held in the love of the creator of all, and here I express gratitude for the contribution of the many parts to the fullness of life in this moment.

Now it is time to release this word into the mind of the creator where it is acted upon even as it is spoken, bringing comfort, love, a sense of the divine to each and everyone in need, wherever they are. As it is spoken in truth, so it is in life.

Blessed Be
