Balance

I find balance as I synchronize my humanity with my DIVINITY.

Work can be a fulfilling use of my talents and efforts. I may enjoy the challenge of growing in responsibility and using my ambition to accomplish great things. But if I work too much or for too long, my energy might start to wane, and my thinking become dull and uninspired. Likewise, too much leisure time may rob me of motivation resulting in a spiral of inactivity.

Spiritual practices bring precious balance into my life: Through meditation, I synchronize my humanity with my DIVINITY. Afterward, I feel calm, grounded, and balanced.

Through prayer, I focus my mind and heart on my desires. I realize and claim DIVINE IDEAS and act on inspiration.  

In gratitude, I find balance in my DIVINITY, the one PRESENCE and one POWER.

I find balance as I synchronize my humanity with my DIVINITY.

Awareness

I intentionally raise the quality of my awareness.

 

Awareness is one of two components of consciousness. The other is arousal, a global state of responsiveness.

Investing my time in mindful contemplation increases awareness of my surroundings. As I gently concentrate and focus my attention, I release distractions as they arise. My mind settles down and my world begins to feel brighter, vibrant, and more alive. I notice the soft sounds and minute textures and colors I overlooked before.

Investing time in prayer increases my awareness of my inherent DIVINITY which is identical in everyone. I am patient, kind, generous, and forgiving. I move through life with ease and grace.

Awareness grounded in my DIVINITY opens my eyes, ears, mind, and heart. I have changed but the world has not. However, I do perceive the world differently.

I intentionally raise the quality of my awareness.

Inspiration

I am DIVINE; I am full of inspiration.

Sometimes I feel inspired by the words of others, and sometimes I am inspired more by action. Today I take my inspiration from the story of Charles Fillmore, a businessman who marveled at his wife’s complete healing from serious illness. This prompted him to embark upon an intense period of prayer, meditation, and study that led to the founding of Unity in 1889, which has become a global spiritual community.

I take this story to heart and find my inspiration in my feelings of awe, wonder, love, and even healthy curiosity. Feeling an awakening of inspiration within me, I center my awareness in my inherent DIVINITY. Now, my humanity moves harmoniously as I am in a creative flow that blesses the work of my mind, my heart, and my hands. 

I am DIVINE; I am full of inspiration.

Joy! 

I bring joy to everything I do.

Like other aspects of my DIVINE IDENTITY, JOY is a PRINCIPLE for expressing joy, gladness and exuberant enjoyment. Joy grows and flowers in my consciousness when I hold joyful thoughts and feelings.

More than a mood or an attitude, joy is part of me and mine to live and to share. Joy is the call of my heart. Whether I am at work or at play, I bring joy to everything I do. Joy infuses my anticipation, fascination, and satisfaction in new discoveries.

My joy is contagious; I love to share it. I have feelings of joy when I take part in friend’s or family member’s joyous moments, their celebrations, and accomplishments. I feel quiet joy when I offer encouragement and even when I give comfort, grateful to share care and love ever centered in my DIVINITY.

 I bring joy to everything I do.

Protection 

Based on my DIVINITY, I protect myself.

Sometimes I may feel at the mercy of a changing, tumultuous world I cannot control. While I cannot control the world, I can control the “controllables.” While chaos may swirl around me, I have absolute dominion over my thoughts and feelings.

At the center of my beingness is a place of perfect peace and calm. Whenever I need a safe refuge, I turn to my inherent DIVINITY and reach this place of tranquility where I feel secure and protected.

The sun always rises after the dark of night. I remind myself of this truth and feel grateful as I claim the light of spiritual understanding. I release any power and importance I may have unwittingly given to a fear-based thought. I tune into my DIVINE NATURE; I move safely and confidently whatever the challenge.

Based on my DIVINITY, I protect myself.
