Affirmative prayer:

The future is not waiting for us. We create it by the power of imagination.
Pir Vilayat Khan

I have the power to create great abundance. I now claim that power, sense it growing and expanding within. I know that this power is the Life Force wishing to express itself through me. I welcome this living, loving energy into my life and know that I am being transformed in this moment. I choose to nurture this seed of faith within and to cultivate spiritual fruit in my life. Before I prayed, God has already answered, and I rejoice in the flow of energy, passion, goodness, and joy that overflows in my heart. I thank God that this is so.

Abundance begins in the heart. There is that within you that knows what to do and how to do it. Trust that inner instinct and follow its leading. Feed your soul with resources that encourage you on this path of spiritual discovery.

Inspirational quotes, positive prayers, and heartfelt affirmations help you embrace life with thankfulness, joy, and expectation.

Affirmative prayer:

We are a stream whose source is hidden. Always our being is descending into us from we know not whence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

I ask and it is already given to me: pressed down, shaken together, overflowing, running over—life in abundance, love in the light of Divine love and light. My cup overflows, my barns and granaries are full. I release all fear of scarcity and lack, knowing that I am perfectly supplied by an endless flow of Divine energy. There is plenty for me and there is plenty to share with others. I rejoice in the gift of God’s gracious abundance.

Peace, Power, and Presence: A Guide to Self Empowerment, Inner Peace, and Spiritual Enlightenment

Why is your life the way it is? How do your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs affect your perception of the world around you? How does this perception influence your power, and therefore affect your state of Inner Peace? Most importantly, how can you approach your life–as it is right now–in such a way so as to liberate yourself from suffering and become established in a lasting state of Peace, in the Power to fulfill your purpose, and in absolute Presence to the perfection that you are?
In this groundbreaking new book Peace, Power, and Presence, Jonathan Evatt brings clarity to key principles and perspectives on these and other challenging questions. The result is nothing short of your becoming empowered to recognize the ultimate answers already emerging from the essence within you. You will pierce through the many veils of deception so prevalent in the world today, and step into a Life of Freedom defined not by some external source of knowledge but by the immaculate wisdom of your own Being.

Peace, Power, and Presence are the fulfillment of what each of us is striving to discover through all our many endeavours. Those people familiar with Jonathan’s liberating approach to Life have been empowered by the realization that the fulfillment of Peace, Power, and Presence within them requires no beliefs, no dogma, no institutions, and no blind adherence to the many outdated religions and spiritual teachings in the world today. In what is set to become a key point of reference for those individuals interested in spiritual and human freedom, Jonathan makes no attempt to show you how to live your life. Instead, he shares with you a new way to approach the life you are already living–an approach that will bring into actualization your innate qualities of Enlightenment–for a Life of Freedom.

Affirmations for the Inner Child

All of us need positive affirmation throughout our lives. As children, these powerful messages helped us to know that we were worthwhile, that it was all right to want food and to be touched, and that our very existence was a precious gift. The messages that we received from our parents helped us to form decisions that determined the course of our lives.

If we were raised with consistent, nurturing parents, we conclude that life is meaningful and that people are to be trusted. If we were raised with parents who were addictively or compulsively ill, we determine that life is threatening and chaotic–that we are not deserving of joy. These are the crucial decisions that impact our lives long after we have forgotten them.

Unfortunately, childhood judgments don’t disappear. They remain as dynamic forces that contaminate our adulthood. When childhood needs are not taken care of because of abuse or abandonment, we spend our lives viewing the world through the distorted perception of a needy infant or an angry adolescent. The more we push these child parts away, the more control they have over us.

This collection of daily meditations is dedicated to those adults who are ready to heal their childhood wounds. It is through this courageous effort that we will move from a life of pain into recovery.All of us need positive affirmation throughout our lives.

The Voice of Knowledge: A Practical Guide to Inner Peace (A Toltec Wisdom Book)

In The Voice of Knowledge, Miguel Ruiz reminds us of a profound and simple truth: The only way to end our emotional suffering and restore our joy in living is to stop believing in lies — mainly about ourselves. Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, this breakthrough book shows us how to recover our faith in the truth and return to our own common sense.

Ruiz changes the way we perceive ourselves, and the way we perceive other people. Then he opens the door to a reality that we once perceived when we were one and two years old — a reality of truth, love, and joy.

“We are born in truth, but we grow up believing in lies. . . . One of the biggest lies in the story of humanity is the lie of our imperfection.” — don Miguel RuizAs little children we know how to live in the moment and be completely authentic. But then something damaging happens to us, according to author Don Miguel Ruiz: we are given “knowledge” about how to live in the world. Parents tell us how to behave in order to be a “good” boy or girl. Teachers tell us what it takes to be a “winner” or a “successful” adult. This collective “voice of knowledge” is not only false–it is often poisonous, explains Ruiz, bestselling author of The Four Agreements. It makes us believe that “I am not the way I should be; it is not okay to be me.” Drawing upon the story of Adam and Eve, Ruiz refers to the forbidden tree of knowledge and likens the abandonment of the true self to the fall from heaven. What Ruiz calls “the voice of knowledge” others spiritual teachers might call ego–the hidden and carefully defended belief system that prevents us from living and expressing who we really are. “The structure of our knowledge makes us feel safe….When we discover that we are not what we believe we are, the foundation of our entire reality begins to collapse.” In the Toltec tradition, Ruiz says every human is an artist, “and the supreme art is the expression of the beauty of our spirit.” He explains that there are two kinds of artists: “the ones who create their story without awareness, and the ones who recover awareness and create their story with truth and love.” The recovering of awareness is what this fourth book in the Toltec Wisdom series is all about. This makes for a good bedside spiritual growth book. Each chapter closes with “Points to Ponder”–summary thoughts to sleep upon as you create the more authentic story of your life. –Gail HudsonIn The Voice of Knowledge, Miguel Ruiz reminds us of a profound and simple truth: The only way to end our emotional suffering and restore our joy in living is to stop believing in lies — mainly about ourselves.

Tarot for the Healing Heart: Using Inner Wisdom to Heal Body and Mind

Tarot for the Healing Heart has a simple premise: now is the time to begin healing and resolution. To heal is to make whole. Dis-ease (being out of ease) can manifest as physical or emotional pain, broken relationships, or spiritual unrest.

The message of dis-ease is one of hope. The possibilities of the future exist now–not as fantasies, but through the exercise of free choice in the present. Through choice, the future grows as the fruits of our present healing actions.

In Part One of Tarot for the Healing Heart, you will learn how to create a healing atmosphere, including creating sacred space, centering, and dream work. In Part Two, explore the meaning of illness and learn to understand your own personal patterns of dis-ease and healing, including letting go of fear.

Health attracts health, and Part Three examines healing as a lifestyle. This section includes healing meditations and visualizations designed to awaken your inner healer as well as methods of pain reduction.

Part Four explores how to use the entire tarot deck for the express purpose of healing. In-depth descriptions of each card include the card’s life lesson and life wisdom.

You do not need to be a tarot expert or a healing practitioner to benefit from this book. All you need is a desire to heal, an open mind, and a courageous heart.
