Spiritual Support

Life is not just something to be endured. It is to be lived in joy, in fullness without limit. But we are born to be happy, to be abundantly supplied with every good thing, to have fun in living, to consciously unite with the Divine Power that is around us and within us, and to grow and expand forever.

Ernest Holmes

Each of us is on a spiritual path to become more in touch with our Divine Self, to awaken, to change our life for the better, etc. Whatever that thought or desire is it comes from the ingrained thought patterns of our personal history. Thinking is the basis for our creations. Of course, how we think is something that we can work on consciously, but (there’s always a but…) if this were as easy as it sounds everyone would be healthier, wealthier, and happier.

You don’t have to do this alone! Through the Sunday talks, classes, Oneness Blessing/Deeksha, sharing with friends, consulting a Practitioner and other activities, we are here to support you.

Affirmative Prayer or Treatment

“Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it, and it will be yours.”  Mark 11:24

“I and the Father are one.” John 10:30

When we pray recognizing Spirit’s Omniscience, Omnipotence, Omnipresence and realizing our unity with Spirit, then our prayer is a spiritual treatment. There is no begging or urge to compel an outside entity. We believe that God is an Indwelling Presence therefore our prayers are naturally addressed to this Infinite Presence within and consequently our prayer is answered as we believe.

We put these beliefs into action using a five-step affirmative prayer called Spiritual Mind Treatment. The five steps are:

1. Recognition—recognizing the Presence of Spirit/God is all there is.
2. Identification, Unification—knowing ourselves as One with God/Spirit.
3. Declaration, Affirmation, Realization—applying the Truth to what we want to manifest.
4. Gratitude, Acceptance—expressing genuine gratitude, believing we are receiving.
5. Release—releasing, trusting it is complete. “Let go and let God”

A sample Treatment:  I know God is All there is and that I am one with God in Spirit, Mind and Body. I know the perfect health I seek already exists in the Mind of God. Knowing I am one with God and that my perfect health is already established, I claim and accept my healthy body now giving thanks for it! I now release this prayer to the Universe knowing it is done as I believe. I let go and let God. And so, it is.

Meditation

Meditation is simply quieting the conscious mind to enable a fuller experience of God’s presence. There are many ways to meditate such as chanting, following the breath, using a mantra, contemplation, listening to the silence. All these helps instill a deep sense of inner peace and relaxation that benefits all aspects of our lives – spiritual, mental and physical.

Ernest Holmes defines meditation as:

The recognition of Source within, the certainty of our Oneness with the Whole, the immediate availability of the Power and Wisdom resulting from this Oneness. Such communion with God brings harmony into our lives and affairs, establishes the law of health and prosperity, and makes us a light to all who cross our pathway.
