Seeds for the Garden of your MInd

Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:




“A single instant of loving without attack heals our minds.”



“Our minds are always choosing between giving love or criticism to whomever is close, and the repercussions of our choices far outlast the choices themselves. The peace and joy or worry and sickness we experience are directly proportional to it.



Considering how easily we can elevate the tenor of our lives thus our health too, why would we ever attack a companion? Attack will always adversely affect us, the attacker. Common sense would suggest that we’d avoid attack at all cost. The ego, the attacker, is not rational, however. It chooses to see everyone as a potential enemy and assumes it had better get the upperhand quickly. There is never a moment’s peace when the ego speaks.



The mind is healed when it expresses love. It experiences nothing but genuine peace when it chooses to feel love. The decision to love can be made and remade a thousand times a day, and every time we choose love, we add to the healing of everyone else.”


“My mind is as peaceful and as healed

as my willingness to give only love to all my companions today.”



Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom: “To surrender the past to the Holy Spirit is to ask that only loving, helpful thoughts about it remain in our minds, and all the rest be let go.”



Hugh Prather, Morning Notes: “Because the world is a place of war, the path of peace must be intentionally practiced. “The world calls to our ego, and unless we are vigilant, we answer the call daily. Nothing is gained without study and practice. Thus we need a plan, and the plan must be consciously followed. Yet once we are thoroughly acquainted with our ego, we can look past it to the gentler side of ourselves. Now the place of peace is not so easily lost, because we know exactly how we arrived there. We also know how we blocked our perception of peace before and are alert to any sign that we are about to block it again.”



Wayne Dyer: ‘Beliefs stem the experiences and testimony of others who in one way or another have attempted to persuade you of their truths.”



Paul Ferrini: “Your partner’s needs are as important as your own. Not more important. Not less important. But equally important.”



Unity’s Daily Word:



“God guides me in being the best possible help to others.”



“As I pray for my family and friends, God guides me in being the best possible help to them. As I think about what they may be going through, I gain insight into their experiences, desires, and needs.”



“I share with others in meaningful endeavors, giving of broad and specific gifts, in focused and inclusive ways. Through what I say and do, I offer encouragement. I respond and contribute with a positive attitude, sharing my thoughts and love, my energy and abundance. Thinking of my family, friends, and neighbors with love and respect, I act with goodwill and appreciation for all.”



“In thought and in action, I am considerate and generous to others. My good cannot be deleted by giving. The good that I share is returned to me, increased and multiplied.”
