Please read this inspiring quote from Ernest Holmes:
“I know that the Spirit , which is Life, is present everywhere. Like the air I breathe, It presses against me, on the mountaintop, in the valley, in the desert, and on the ocean, It is everpresent. There is peace at the center of my being , a peace that can be felt throughout the day and in the cool of the evening. I dwell on the unity that underlies everything…. I focus my inward vision of this indwelling Harmony, knowing that as I contemplate Its perfection I will see It manifest in everything I do.” (365 Science of Mind, p. 315)

Fear and Rebalancing
Those of us on the path to more Self Mastery experience fear less frequently and in less intensity. For some topics we notice a strong visceral response and oh my we find ourselves quite frightened. Below is a story of one woman whose husband gets a scary health report. She seeks support and soothing. Please read more
Self Soothe a Fear Response
We shift habits in our self-talk toward more consciousness of Well Being Pouring Around us.
Self-Support During Couple Dispute
When one member of a couple experiences deep hurt, that person can want out of a relationship. Commonly, we humans react in blaming the other for causing the hurt feeling. (The other guy is at fault.) What if the other member of the couple does not accept the blame nor attack in response.
Leadership By Modeling Composure and Kindness
When we embody our values of kindness and respect, we show others the behavior we want without preaching about it. Others can feel it and emulate with dignity and enthusiasm. Ernest Holmes stated this:
Appreciation Substitutes Worry
We can notice what we do not want and ruminate about it. Unfortunately, reviewing what is unwanted only draws more of it to us! Oh No! Instead, we can employ the power of our focus to appreciate what we perceive and want more of.
Opportunity for Growth
We all have experienced an upsetting reaction as we live through some unwanted situation. Then, our feelings of fear, guilt and shame may rise up
New Habits, More Personal Power
What a bold step we can make when we awaken to what new thoughts we can think, what more we can do for ourselves!
A Focus on Good Has Pay Off
“Mess with me and I fight back! Put up your Dukes!” No, we can choose a focus on Goodness instead. Let’s read about how such an attitude plays out.
Choosing Our Language with Care
We promote our Well Being in so many aspects of caring for ourselves. Here we emphasize how we speak about a bodily condition. Do we take care to describe a temporary condition that pops up while our Well Being is always pouring down, around and through? Does our language acknowledge how easily we return to harmonious state?
Prayer for Healing Answered
According to Neville Goddard in his work “Feeling is the Secret,” the best way to receive what we want when we pray is to feel as though we already have it. We are advised to immerse ourselves in the feeling quality of that desired thing (or condition) as we focus in prayer.
“Feeling the reality of the state sought and living and acting on that conviction is the way of all seeming miracles.”[1]
Getting Past Pop-Up Fear
We can find ourselves afraid of what happens to someone else. Let’s reframe those thoughts as we notice them.
Trust the Healed Self
We want to remain vigilant on our past habit of thought. We review that we don’t want to do that “abd” thing again. Except that means we are focusing on what we do NOT want more than on wanted.
At some point after years of practice, what if we lean more heavily on assuming we are ok to trust ourselves. We have invested in a “new ME,” in gaining confidence and in reliably aligning with Forces of Good.
Reminders of Connection
We are loved all the time. Even when we feel upset. We attract reminders of our connection as we reach for remembering. Sometimes we have
Healing a Jealous Habit
Most of us experience jealous feelings for at least a few moments in the course of our lives. Some of us feel jelousy frequently. Shifting
Trusting Life
We want to know that the Good in Life is always with us. Various blips on our path show up; we feel our primitive reactions. Can we keep reaching for calm from that base of trust? Is it akin to skiing the slopes of our upset, heading down hill with as much grace as we can muster. Here is one account:
Practicing More Empowering Thoughts: Out with the Blaming
We grow while we focus on Good each day. As we do this, we become more aware of thoughts that are not focusing on Good. Wow we notice some thoughts are critical and self-blaming.
Recovery Tools Up Our Sleeve
Isn’t it great when we notice a stream of thoughts that are fueled by fear and blame thinking? When we notice, we have the opportunity to make some significant changes and to feel better soon.
Turning to Self-Love
We each have some quality that we know does not show our best selves to the world. This post focuses on one woman who chided herself because she sometimes spoke for too long, was too loquacious. She sought help to soothe herself when that “flaw” showed up.
