shift your body as needed, and breathe. If you are reading on a mobile device while standing, be seated and allow yourself to relax for just a few moments. If you are at your work desk, perhaps you could put your telephone on silent for just a few minutes. If you have a door to close, you might even close it.
It is always helpful to begin by refocusing attention to our center, to our hearts. Shifting your awareness from head-and-brain thought to heart-thought is not difficult. You might touch your heart area lightly with your fingertips, perhaps even imagine what it would feel like to breathe through your heart. In addition to our faculty of Love, we also possess the ability of Imagination. Imagine for a few moments that your whole Being is centered in your heart, and that your heart is the center of your breath, of your thought, of your Life. We each share Life through the breath. Close your eyes for a few moments and simply breathe. Allow any other thoughts to simply come and go. Just continue to breathe.
From this place of centered awareness, I invite you to allow my words to be your words...
The Light of Love shines brightly in all corners of my life. I am bathed in the warm glow of the Love that God is, and I know the peace and joy of Oneness.
I remain open, staying present to what is, in this perfect moment, the perfection of that Love. My faith is made even more real. Having eyes to see, I see clearly. Having ears to hear, I hear plainly. I am willing to see and hear the things that are mine to see and hear. I am willing to know what is useful for me to know.
In this season of higher aspirations, I join with others in holding this safe, sacred space of knowing. I give myself permission to be that which I truly am, and I give others that same permission. I know that, in Truth, we are each unique, beautiful, necessary and irreplaceable portions of God-stuff made manifest.
The harmonizing power of Love is working in my life now, bringing all aspects of my divinity into expression for the highest and best in all matters in my life. I know that I am human, but I am not "only" human. The same spark of the Christ is within me that was within my Elder Brother, Jesus. As he honored that spark within him, I honor the spark within me. I am willing to be the Light of Love in my own life, and to be the Light of Love in the lives of those around me.
Within this awareness of the Truth of Love, I allow my breath throughout the day to serve as a reminder of the promises of this Advent season. In each moment of that awareness, I am thankful for the many blessings present in my life, and I allow that gratitude to express as kindness, as generosity, as compassion. I am the Light of Love in expression.
God i
s love. I dwell in love. God lives within me, as I live within God. I honor the name and nature of our Way-shower Jesus, who taught us what life looks like lived from within God. I claim the willingness to know this Truth. I allow the Light of Love to shine in all corners of my life. I am willing. And so it is. Amen.
Thank you for joining me on this path of Awareness. I am blessed by your company.
