As a Unity Minister, we know that the very presence of the Divine is within all of creation. There are different aspects of the Divine which, when understood

Sometimes we can think of God as Light within us………..and this light guides us and fills us with knowing………

Sometimes as Life…and this …Divine Life that fills us with health……..

And sometimes as Love……..this kind of Love, Divine Love,  helps us know we are good and helps us love one another.

And sometimes we can think of God as a still small voice within…….this still small voice guides us and will always keep us safe…….and helps us know what to do…………that is, if we listen to it and pay attention,……..we will always know what to do

The rest of today’s message today will help you to  get in touch with this voice of God within…..

Let us begin by closing our eyes and I invite you to slowly, Breathe in and out.  Breathing in ever so slowly and then exhale just as slowly.

Breathe like this 2 more times.

And now,

Imagine you are on a sandy beach……the sand is as soft as you can imagine.  It invites you to nestle in and simply relax………

As you relax, you hear the sounds of the ocean waves gently lapping at the shore. You notice the sounds as they flow to the shore and then gently flow away, a perfect rhythm………in life

Your breath has this same rhythm……………….

~ breathe in deeply and notice that your breath is also like the ocean waves, you breathe in and then you breathe out………The waves in the ocean flow forward and then they retreat, a perfect pattern of Divine Order……………

~ This same order, this  perfect rhythm is  created by simply breathing in and breathing out……

As you breathe in …………imagine connecting to a still small voice within………..the voice of the Divine…….a voice that  loves you so much  that it speaks the truth to you in love Listen carefully and you will hear:

You are Goodness made manifest…….

You are pure love…….

You  have many talents and strengths that make you uniquely who you are and who you have come here to be

You are made in the image and likeness of the Divine…………………….

You are heir to the kingdom of all good…………

As you connect to this voice of God within……..allow to come to mind one strength of yours…one unique gift that has always been with you………..take a moment in the rhythm of the ocean waves that are your breath and allow the awareness of this gift to come to mind

This gift is a part of you that will help you fulfill your dreams………..

Think of one special thing about you that is very important………..

And now thinking of this strength of yours…accepting it as part of you……..

allow the focus of your attention to return  to the sound of the ocean waves.

They are soothing and calming ….they flow in and they flow out……they can flow to the very center of your being …and they connect your conscious mind with your  essence………so breathe in………………..breathe out………

breathe in ……….breathe out……..and now begin to deepen your breathing, beginning to pay attention to any outer sounds, any outer sensations, and as you deepen your breathing even more, feel your body, the magnificent body temple that enables you to be the very presence of the Divine on earth.

knowing this, allow a sense of gratitude to come upon you, it fills every fiber of your being and enables you to greet the day with an amazing peace, peace which passes all understanding………..

and when you are ready open your eyes…………….

But still remember your connection to the voice of God within that reminds you of your essential goodness that blesses the world.
