Seeds for the Garden of Your Mind

Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:

“We are all healers.”

“The miracle of healing, according to this course of study, is simply the decision to shift our perceptions of the people and the experiences surrounding us. None of us has greater healing power than anyone else. Some practice the healing process more often, however.”

“The one absolute in every day for everybody is that there will be an opportunity to offer a healing gesture to someone or some situation. Just knowing that we can improve the world we live in by a tiny thought or action gives the most mundane of days real meaning. We are equal in our ability to move us closer to home.”

“If we look at our experiences from this perspective, it will change how we see every minute of our lives. We’ll even begin to look for opportunities to offer healing. Knowing that all of us benefit through the gestures of any one of us inspires our willingness to participate in the miracle.”

“I have the opportunity to add to the richness of every person’s experience today through my perspective.”

Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom: “Only love can make us happy, and only we ourselves can determine its presence or absence inside our hearts.”

Hugh Prather, Morning Notes: “Heaven on earth is up to me. A decision must be made, and it can be made now. It is simply this: ‘I will begin.’ And what must we begin? We must try to be kind now – not appear kind, but be kind. We must make the effort, no, the struggle, to be happy now – and not first gain what we ‘need’ in order to be happy. We can’t just add the concepts of kindness and happiness to our life. They must be our life.”

Wayne Dyer: “Sadness derives from a scarcity consciousness that can be dissolved by tuning into the abundance that is yours for the taking…The antidote to sadness is to bring the abundance of this world in the form of your own joyful appreciation of all that you have and all that you can have to the presence of the mistaken belief that you are lacking something, and the illusion will dissolve.”

Paul Ferrini: “Each one of you is a minister of God in training. You will be called to serve your brothers and sisters when your connection to love is firmly established. When that call comes, you will have no choice but to answer it.”

Unity’s Daily Word:

“My relationships are blessed
through the transforming power of God’s love.”

“If I feel as though I’ve been wronged in some way, I may not realize how tightly I am holding on to my grievance and how disturbing that may be to my well-being. Through forgiveness, however, I set my course on the path of transformation and healing.”

“I begin by letting the love of God within my dissolve all feelings of anger. Open to love, I am guided to the steps I am to take. There may be an opportunity for me to share my feelings openly and honestly with someone, offering my understanding rather than placing blame. This person and I may then embark on a mutual learning experience that will change both our lives for the better. As God transforms our hearts, we enjoy a relationship of peace and love.”

A Course in Miracles: Lesson 342

“I let forgiveness rest upon all things,
for thus forgiveness will be given me.”
