I practice the presence by contemplating the nature of God.

I practice the presence by contemplating the nature of good.

I practice the presence by keeping still and letting my mind be.

I practice the presence by pausing and looking in, suspending for a moment fastness and speed.

I practice the presence by letting life be.

I turn to life and expect to find there its beauty and its peace and its eternal wisdom.

In this way I realize my spiritual nature and I become a channel for good, not only for myself but for my world.

I am generous with myself and the people around me. I am forgiving with myself and the people around me.

I find that in the quiet time I take I restore, refresh, and renew myself so that I am able to call upon my very tenderest, sweetest, most innocent nature.

I realize that at every single moment I am already dong my very best and that is enough.

I bless that. I bless that in the people around me.

I practice the presence by contemplating the nature of God.

I practice the presence by contemplating the nature of good.

I live my life as if all of the universe is for me.

I tend to look for the benefits in that which is happening in my life.

I forgive myself when I cannot.

I am at peace. I am a presence for peace in my environment.

I am a beneficial contribution to the world around me.

I am a channel for God’s good. I see that. And even when I am not aware of that something within me is aware, and I trust that.

I love the complexity of the world around me, and I take refuge in my inner listening.

Spirit within me listens and I am well.
