affirmative prayer

THE ETERNAL:

I am an extension of Source. I belong to Spirit. Spirit exists within me - that’s how I am able to move, to breathe, to live, and to create. God is all around me, God exists though me, as me, for me. Spirit owns this body. Spirit directs my mind, Spirit directs my thoughts; Spirit lives in this body and in this home.

As faithful servants of Spirit -all the angels, fairies, and friends are present with me, protecting me and preparing beautiful, wonderful experiences for me everywhere I am and everywhere I go.

With ease and thankhsgiving, I release all that is no longer needed in my life. And I let the joy of living flood my mind, my body, my heart, all my activities, my relationships, my home and my entire world now. I radiate love from my own Spirit and Love fills my life to overflowing. I now attract more and more friends and loved ones into my atmosphere. I am brimming with enthusiasm for life. I am in love. I am full of faith – I am satisfied and confident with an absolute knowing that wherever I am God is and it will always be that way.

Only truth and abiding wellbeing exist in my mind and body. Love now lights up every one of the trillions of cells in my body – the message of infinite, unconditional love and absolute security and peace is transmitted within me, around me, by me, and to me. All is well. I enjoy every aspect of my life. I release the past and the future and awaken to the Present/Presence with gratitude.

I give thankhs for my home – it is the perfect space for me. It is beautiful, clean, comfortable, and secured by the loving protection of my Father-God. I give thankhs for my car. It is the perfect car for me – cute, reliable, economical and eco-friendly. It gets me where I am going safely with ease and smooth speed. I give thankhs for my abundant resources – I find that I always have plenty of money and supplies for whatever I choose to do today and because order is established within my life I enjoy life fully and help others to do the same.

My life has improved amazingly and continues to improve in every imaginable way. I am radiant, joyful, and beautiful and I find great pleasure in caring for myself- and this makes my beauty shine brightly through my thoughts, my words, my actions, my habits, my character, and my health. I give thankhs for a healthy mind, which is clear and focused on God and able to allow and accept God’s perfect Will for me and my life. I am grateful for my healthy body, which is fun and beautiful – my perfect channel through which I experience the physical world in joy. This body is the temple of Spirit. I maintain it with pleasure, reverence, gratitude, and pure intent. I maintain this body with proper breathing, mindful movement and relaxation, pure water, and pure foods. Spirit sustains this body with the breath of Life, in Love.

It gives me pleasure to breathe in this body, to sweat through it, to move in it, to make love with it- to be alive and able to move my limbs with ease and perfect comfort is a blessing and a privilege for which I am ceaselessly grateful. When I practice my asanas and cardio work and strength training I do so with deep gratitude and knowing that the mindful movement of my body permits my body to operate most efficiently. Thankh you God for the priceless blessing of optimal health.

This health gives me hope and the means to experience every other aspect of my life- especially my relationships. Spirit has brought my perfect mates and me together. It is very good. We share a sound love, a deep commitment, and all the benefits of honest connection and communication. Thankh you God for making me a great friend, and for bringing great friends to me. Thankh you God for this sacred union of me and my wonderful husband. Thankh you God for filling our home with the laughter of beautiful children.

Spirit, I trust all that you bring to me. I allow all and I trust you to show me directly how to make the greatest use of what you have gifted me with. I release this affirmative prayer to divine mind to be acted upon and manifested in divine, perfect order in and through us. Thankh you Spirit !!

Love,

into me see

the past: no longer matters to me.
the present: is here for my enjoyment and conscious participation and creative expression.
the future: will be amazing, I know, but back to the present...

today, my body feels comfortable and peaceful - what a blessing... to wake up comfortable, confident, and at ease in one's body. what a pleasure to walk into a room and find hot waters waiting to wash over that strong, vibrant, healthy body... a room full of flowers and books and incense?... my favorite music at my disposal, my husband and closest friends only a phone call away... my blue blouse laid out for me to wear... the library, no more than a mile's walk away... a beautiful walk to be enjoyed by me and my young, healthy body...

of course, life has come with it's share of contrasts but they have been beautiful, strengthening experiences (people, places, events, circumstances) that have helped me choose Higher... that have sent me gladly and sometimes running back to Spirit.

I have been blessed with all types of amazing relationships and now I enjoy the beauty and benefits of a sound marriage to a beautiful Muslim man.. I've come a long way (by faith and sometimes without)... and I am finally allowing myself (really allowing myself) to release with love and gratitude those things which were... and it is such an amazing process... such a burden has been released from my gut and shoulders and back... weight has been dropped, judgments and accusations and grudges have been released and now, I use everyday, and every moment to become more self-aware... to become better.

as I observe and participate at times in my husband's Deen (way of life) my values are transformed for the better and I feel my purpose being activated... a life of loving, joyful service to Spirit, to family, and to community - through teaching, sharing, encouraging, presence, participation, gardening, building, and being an example of living the Will of Spirit.. the Will of God...


finally, I accepted that perhaps much of what I was taught was not the complete or absolute truth and so, I am free (because I say so) to not only release much of it... but to forgive everything and everyone along the way... Forgiveness is a way of life.. it is the ultimate Allowing of all others to be themselves - whoever that might be in the moment... Forgiveness is the ultimate freedom... not concerning oneself with what other people are or are not doing -but going about self-educating by un-learning and re-learning...

I am committed to Life.. to God. I am committed to keep on getting back up, no matter how many times I fall down. I am committed to choosing forgiveness as a means of choosing abundant life...

From my heart to yours, self-amplifying love all-ways,
-.ayo.
