Center for Spiritual Living Midtown

All month, we’ve been talking about how important a life of play and rest is for our healthiness, both inside and out. There’s another dimension, though – play helps us to build relationships filled with Joy and meaning. What if our whole community embraced the idea of playing together as a key component of healthy living?

Week's Affirmation: I am Joyful in my community.

How many times have we fallen into the temptation to glorify overwork and busyness, saying things like, “I’ll rest when I’m dead?” One of the great wonders of this life is the sweet sense of Joy and Peace that comes with real, substantial rest.

Week’s Affirmation: I rest in Divine Joy.

Healing ourselves (mind, body, and heart) is one of the biggest reasons we come together to study metaphysics. What if we’re missing a key element in the healing process? Let’s explore the role of laughter, play and fun in revealing Wholeness. 

Week’s Affirmation: Laughter reveals my Wholeness. 

Connecting deeply with the Divine can sometimes feel like serious work. We can forget that Joy and Freedom are Divine qualities, too. What if, at the end of the day, we are all just playing Twister with God?

 Week’s Affirmation: I am having fun with the Divine.

If you could see the object of your fear until you really understand it, it would no longer exert any effect on you. You can do this to the degree where you become aware that you are divinely guided and protected, and establish your understanding of this in a definite way. – Ernest Holmes, Effective Prayer, p.35. 

Divine forgiveness is always within reach. What a great burden of responsibility disappears when we understand that the Eternal Mind hold nothing against anyone! ​ – Ernest Holmes, The Science of the Mind, p.447. 

Week’s Affirmation: I forgive and I am free. 

The Reciprocal Universe…is the invisible counterpart of every visible form. We get what we give, if not now, then tomorrow. And we attract what we are. 

Week’s Affirmation: I am the co-creator of my life. 

To learn how to think is to learn how to live, for our thoughts enter into a medium that is infinite in Its ability to do and be. Man, by thinking, can bring into his experience whatsoever he desires – provided he thinks rightly, and becomes the living embodiment of his thoughts. This is not done by holding thoughts, but by knowing the Truth. ​– Ernest Holmes, The Science of the Mind, p.30.5. 

Week’s Affirmation: The Spirit within me is God; that Spirit is Perfect.
