Peace and Ease
Spirit is everywhere, all around this life. Spirit is all-knowing and wise. Spirit is the source of all things and continues to create anew. Spirit is peace, love and the power for Good.
And if Spirit is truly everywhere then it must be right here within me. All that Spirit is, lives within me. When I allow myself to imagine that, it all becomes clear. I am one with Spirit. I am peace, I am love. I have within me a power for good to create my life anew. Again and again, I can come back to this knowing and regain my power.
I claim peace and ease in my day-to-day life. The peace of Spirit can’t be shaken or disturbed in any way. I affirm that the power of Spirit within me helps me create peace. I am open to the flow of peace in my life. I am open to the ease of life unfolding perfectly. With my mind at ease, I can make good choices and sustain peace and ease in my life each day.
I am grateful for this prayer that leads me to peace and ease. I can rest knowing this prayer is done.
And so it is. Amen.

Grief and Loss
There is one life divine, and it is Spirit. Always present, it is the constant guiding light of truth and beauty. Spirit’s love is available all of the time, in all situations. Spirit’s peace is always available in all situations. Even in the midst of loss, Spirit’s presence is always available.
And so it is. Amen.

Prayer to Love My Body
This present moment is where God is always found. It exists outside of space and time. It is Eternal, unchanging, yet ever expanding. It is the fiber of the manifest Universe. Spirit is forever pouring out Its Love, creating everything that is, all of it reflecting Its Love and Wholeness.
As part of Creation, I am made of this Spirit. Its Love and Wholeness exist at the center of my being. Everything Spirit is, I am. I am Its Love and Wholeness in action.
Knowing this to be true, I claim this body as a perfect expression of Spirit. Its Love and Wholeness move through every part of my physical being. Every cell in my body radiates with this Divine energy. My body, this body, is a vehicle for Spirit to experience Life. I release all past judgements regarding my body and the dream of some "ideal" body that never existed. I accept the gift of this body here and now.
Joy bubbles up in me as I realize this Truth. I am filled with gratitude.
I release this prayer knowing it is already accomplished.
And so it is.

Perfect Surgery
Here in the eternal now is One Power, One Divine Presence, One Creator and Absolute Knower of everything. This Precious One created all things for its purpose for ultimate good, for its highest expression of Love. As the Creator, its Loving Energy is in everything and everyone. There is No Other Power.
I am its creation, one of a kind by divine design. The Power and Divine Presence is what I am and where I am and all that I experience. I love my oneness with this Supreme Lover of my life. As I speak my word for this day, I know that all the desires that I treat for have been given to me by Spirit’s desire for its life as me. How exciting to know this Truth.
With the power within me, I acknowledge, I claim and I accept the Divine Desire of a perfect surgery for my body temple. I know that the hands of the surgeon are the hands of Spirit. I know that Spirit is the skilled knowledge of the surgeon in every move. I know that this Divine Loving Spirit wants the best for me. My heart is full of bliss knowing God’s Got This. I move forward in this body temple with confidence and complete trust.
With compassion and huge gratitude for each one I meet in this process, I know every person is Spirit in form. I’m excited to be what I’m meant to be in this life form. I give thanks for the greatest and highest outcome.
I seal this treatment with faith with love. I give it to the amazing law, as it has been thought of, spoken and released. I accept that it is done. And so it is.

One Radiant Life
There is one radiant Life. That Life is present in all of existence. It is a creative force. It is constantly expressing through its radiant love.
I am a unique expression of Life, always connected to the greater whole. Its power, its presence, its peace flow through me in all that I say and all that I do. The Spirit within me is the very source of my radiance, and I open to Spirit now.
I allow Spirit to inform and guide me in my life. I know that Spirit’s radiance is always available to me, and I open to it now. I know that Spirit’s radiance carries with it love, creativity, and peace. It guides me and all those around me with wisdom and poise. This boundless radiance inspires all who it touches, encouraging their radiance to shine. I embrace my radiance now so that I live a vibrant and bright life.
Witnessing my inner radiance fills me with gratitude.
Letting gratitude guide my way, I release my word, letting go of the outcome, trusting Spirit has already acted upon all I’ve said. I let go. And so it is.

A prayer for peace in unsettling times
Spirit lives itself through all of its unique creations, which includes me and each one of us. Each one of us is a part of a greater fabric of all of humanity. And not only humanity we are all one with every creature, every drop of water, every wave coming onto the shore. That’s a part of us too on this beautiful planet.
I say a word of blessing that in these uncertain times we are individually anchored in peace, love, faith, and the anticipation of good to come. I hold that mental equivalent of a peaceful, loving world. I cultivate that by feeling love and peace in my own heart. And I practice the tools to be centered, grounded, anchored in spirit, leaning into that power and presence that wants to serve us good and more good. And so when the world seems overwhelming or beyond our control with conflicts on every side, I claim peace in my heart, tranquility in my mind, calm in my attitude as we face the world and share this vibration of peace and love. We may look different, just like the variety of flowers. Even from the same Zinnia seeds, a whole garden of different colored and shaped flowers is amazing. This is Spirit’s life living itself for me to behold.
With great thanksgiving, I know that this is my moment to receive the gift of this amazing life. This light, that lights my way through the darkness, sometimes too allows me to be the light for others. And with gratitude in my heart, knowing that this eternal life goes on, I can let go of old habits and ways of thinking. Anchoring myself over and over again in Spirit’s loving assignment for us - to live life fully and find joy, peace and love. I’m grateful that there’s a higher power that’s helping me do this especially during challenging times.
With a heart filled with appreciation, I release this prayer knowing it’s already accomplished. And so it is, amen.

Freedom
There is one Life Force ever present, loving and powerful. And at the same time this Life Force is ever creating anew. Spirit is this Life Force behind all sentient beings on this planet. Spirit is all knowing and encompasses everything.
I am one with this powerful loving presence of Spirit. Since this Life Force is everywhere present, it has to include me and every being in this world. We are all made of the same Life Force and therefore each one of us is powerful and full of life. With Spirit as my source, I am filled with this Life Force and grateful for the way it shows up in my life.
I affirm now that I feel the freedom that is mine today. As a part of this Life Force that Spirit is, I can affirm for myself all of the health, beauty and love that is my divine right as an expression of Spirit. I affirm freedom to feel grace and gratitude for my life and wellbeing.
With thanksgiving for this time to dwell in gratitude for my connection to Spirit, I can release my prayer now into the law.
And let it be. And so it is.
