Time to Unplug

Posted on by

 

Dear Friends,

I love this sweet dog in the quote above. It reminds me of how I feel when I take time
to be at peace and relax. Every year I take personal retreat days to just get away, spend time with nature, walk trails, read, write, color (yes I color in adult coloring books) and listen to lovely music. I will be doing that this week and Steve will be home in his own “home retreat.” I do take my cell phone and check in daily, but no laptop and no work. This is time for myself to rest and rejuvenate. The appearance of the world is troubled. The vibrations seem edgy and I can feel it when I am not mindful.
I would suggest, even if you cannot take a few days off, for one day UNPLUG, Rest, Rejuvenate, however that looks for you. If watching the news is upsetting, DON’T for that day. Find a tree with a bench and just sit and be, or read an uplifting book.
What makes you happy? What makes you feel good? Incorporate those things during your R&R day. You don’t even need to answer the phone!
I have a minister friend who UNPLUGS once a week. No work, no talking, no phone, no computer.
Our bodies and energy systems are meant to be in balance. When we are out of balance, stress appears which can cause dis-ease. So Stay in-EASE and find the time just for you.
Being in Ease,
Abigail

 

Wholeness is the Natural Order

Posted on by
I believe we all have had challenges with our health at some point in our lives.
In New Thought we believe the essence of God is within us, whole, perfect and complete.  We know Jesus the Christ truly embodied this belief and therefore could heal anyone and anything. He kept asking, “Do you believe you are healed?”
In other words, ‘Do you believe there is that within you which is already whole, perfect and complete?’  
 
Many of us WANT to believe this completely, and don’t always do.
In Lynn McTaggert’s book, “Intention Experiment,”   Glen Rein, a biologist, tested which prayer was the most effective for inhibiting the growth of cancer cells in a
petri dish. With the help of an experienced healer, 5 different prayers were explored. What he discovered was the most powerful intentional prayer was the one that“directed the cells to return to their natural order.” It inhibited the growth by 39%.(SoM magazine July)
God created the natural order of the universe. It is all in balance, whole, perfect, complete.  We are created out of this Divine order, Divine intention, Divine perfection which we call God, Spirit, Cause, Creator, Source. The natural order of God is already within us.  When we realign with this thought and belief, our atoms, cells, and molecules respond and begin moving towards their natural order of wholeness. Some examples:
  • I  remember a minister telling me years ago, when she worked in a laboratory doing tests on various cells, she keep singing “You Are My Sunshine.” She was a happy person so singing a tune came naturally.  Apparently she had to stop singing because it was affecting the test results.
  • Do you remember the water experiments by Dr. Emoto? He would say wonderful, kind words to murky, muddy water and the water would change and become clear.
  • When Steve had his stoke in 2003, I asked people to pray by SEEing him walking and talking naturally.  And he did!  In other words, back to the Natural order of God within him.
YOU are whole, perfect and complete. Within you is Divine Natural Order, no matter the physical appearance.  If you are challenged knowing this, find a New Thought practitioner or minister who can know it with you and for you until you can know it for yourself.
Wholely Perfect,
Abigail

Prayer Works!

Setting Conscious Intentions.
Every morning we need to wake up with a conscious intention in mind. I know when I sit for my morning prayers and meditations, the whole day seems to flow. My intentions and affirmative prayers manifest in directions that are sometimes surprising.
The Mind loves an intentional thought that is clear and specific with the feelings that it is already accomplished. Not having a clear intention is like swimming in
muddy water.

Last Friday the temperature in Poway ramped up to 105 degrees. IT WAS HOT! We expected our daughter and her little dog to come over since they did not have air conditioning. Whew, at first it felt good to have cool air circulating through the house. Then all of a sudden we noticed the air blowing had lost it coolness. Our AC was out. We called our insurance and left a message. No calls back.
Saturday came. I called again and this time I got the name of the AC Contractor they used. Called twice. No calls back. Called the insurance again later on Saturday afternoon and also on Sunday. By this time we were frustrated. Two of our neighbors came over to see if they could figure out what was going on. No luck.
Monday morning I sat in my meditation chair and felt at peace. I wrote out a prayer treatment with one of the sentences saying, “Thank you God for sending the right and true AC man out today. Our house is now cool and refreshing…”
I visualized a man walking through the house and troubleshooting areas that could be at fault. When I was done I got back on the phone with the insurance and left another message. I also looked up other AC contractors, made an appointment with one for Wednesday. AUK! For some reason (intuitive sight?) I saw another AC contractor’s company with a good review from YELP and called him. He said he could stop by either later today, Monday, or on Tuesday. We waited. Finally at 5pm Nathan called and said he would be over in 10 minutes. He was. Here was my image of a man checking the AC both inside and outside our house, and fixing the problem in about 15 minutes.
Thank you God!!! In a short time, our house was refreshingly cool.

Linda M. Potter, RsP who wrote the SoM July Daily Guides says.
“When we pray for clarity, we’re asking God for the ability to sort through the mental and emotional fog; to see the spiritual truth in the situation; and to determine what we really want, what we actually need and what best serves everyone involved.
It is our emotional commitment to a thought that welcomes it into our lives and begins the manifestation process.”
I was emotionally committed to having our AC fixed. I let go of my original idea of who it should be, and allowed God to come in and connect me with the right and true person. I am forever grateful for prayer treatment, knowing it always works!

Grateful for Prayer,
Abigail

 

Whole Perfect Complete

YOU ARE WHOLE , PERFECT AND COMPLETE
Dear Friends,
I was reading the July issue of the Science of Mind magazine this morning and a wonderful example of our Spiritual perfection was written by Linda M. Potter, RScP. Her topic was how we are all born WHOLE and perfect, regardless of how the human body may look or feel.
She said,
” A hologram is the perfect metaphor for how this works. When you cut a hologram of a rose in half, each half contains the whole rose. If you cut that same hologram into eighths, you will end up with eight complete roses. If we think of God as a hologram, no matter how many pieces IT is cut into, each piece, no matter how small, is a complete, whole picture of God. We are born whole and remain whole regardless of external circumstances.”
What a beautiful description of our God Selves. We are all whole and perfect parts of the WHOLENESS of God. When we do prayer treatment we go to our place in mind, heart and consciousness which only sees and knows that ROSE, that GOD SELF is always whole, perfect and complete. When we KNOW the Truth of our Being, it manifests! No matter how young or old, big or small, we are all parts of the ONE WHOLE GOD.
All There Is, Is GOD
Everything God is, is within us, complete and perfect.
Ernest Holmes said, we are not healed ( we are already perfect). The wholeness and health are already within us. When we know the truth, it is revealed.
