Harmony

The beauty of a flower unfolds towards the light. There is harmony as each petal, unique in size and shape, arranges itself around the centre. Together they create beauty. In the same way, each unique aspect of myself, when in harmony, creates beauty. 

Today let me express beauty by being in harmony with myself.

Peace

Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me. There will be peace on earth when there is peace in the hearts and minds of human beings. Peace is created when I make the effort to forgive, to let go and to give generously when I would rather close my heart. This is the inner work required to create a world of peace. Then every living star in the human family tree will shine. It begins with me. 

Today let me create peace in my heart and mind.

Lifting my Conciousness

Physical strength gives a dancer the power to push off the ground and leap beyond gravity. Spiritual strength gives me the focus and determination to lift my consciousness above the gravity of my ordinary thoughts and soar. I experience the freedom of flying. It takes only a moment to lift my consciousness and be free. 

Today let me fly.

Spiritual Freedom

It is a common assumption that freedom means being without responsibility. On the contrary, to be free means to take full responsibility for every thought, word and action I perform, ensuring that they are of the highest quality. For only when they are the highest quality, do I free myself from bondages, debts and burdens that hold me down. 

Today let me take full responsibility for my own spiritual freedom.

Silence

It is when we silence the chattering of our mind that we can truly hear what is in our heart and find the still, clear purity that lies within the soul. Spiritual love carries us into the silence of our original state of being. This silence contains the power to create harmony in all relationships and the sweetness to sustain them. And it is when we are silent that we can let God into our heart and mind, filling us with peace, love and power.

Today let me draw from the reservoir of inner silence.

Faith in the Self

When problems arise, we try to 'figure it out' by using our minds to find an answer. The more I think about it, the stickier the problem becomes, and I get stuck in a web of overthinking. Faith frees me from over-thinking my problems. It allows me to bring the energy of acceptance - it will all be ok - to calm myself down enough to be able to see clearly. Then solutions become obvious. 

Today let me use faith to be free from problems.

Balance

Carrying too much, or carrying it in an unbalanced way can make me fall. Carrying a responsibility with fear or resentment will break my spirit. Finding the right balance, holding it with dignity and keeping my eyes focused forward allows me to maintain a steady pace towards my goal. 

Today let me carry my responsibilities in a balanced way.

http://bkwashington.org

Being Light

Even on a grey and rainy day, I remember that the light of the sun is very near, just beyond the clouds. By remembering the light, I retain my child like innocence and become full of lightness and ease, for that is my true nature. My pure heart and cheerfulness can lift the spirits of others and bring a smile to their lips. Today let me move lightly through rainy moments.

http://bkwashington.org

Love and Regard

Friendship is created when I listen and appreciate the uniqueness of each ones' experience. Where there is regard, there is safety and the possibility for understanding. By listening I create a container of love  for myself and for the other. 

Today let me have conversations of love and regard.

http://bkwashington.org

Happiness

For the person with the “Missing out” habit of thinking, the grass is always greener on the other side of the hill! This habit has its roots in the belief that my happiness and fulfillment lie somewhere “Out There” in a place where I am not present. It is a sign that I have forgotten how to be content within myself wherever I am.

Today let me experience happiness wherever I am.

http://bkwashington.org 

Being Merciful

When I have mercy for others, I am able to accept their feelings, emotions and behavior and provide them with the right kind of mental support. Then I am able to give them courage without being influenced negatively with their feelings of pain and sorrow. So my mercy influences myself positively too as I am able to keep myself positive under all circumstances.

Today let me be merciful.

http://bkwashington.org

Being Powerful

When I am able to be free from carelessness, I am able to move forward with lightness and happiness. There is no difficulty of any situations experienced and I do everything to the best of my ability without giving any excuses. I am able to experience being powerful under all circumstances, as I become the master of the situation. 

Today let me free myself from being careless and use my powers in a worthwhile way.

http://bkwashington.org

Unity

Unity is harmony within and amongst people. It is built with a shared vision for the good of all and a common goal. Unity is appreciating the value of each person and their unique contribution. When there is willingness to accommodate others, unity blossoms.

Today let me create harmonious atmosphere and thereby experience the fragrance of unity.

http://bkwashington.org

Harmony

Harmony is the ultimate expression of spirituality. Love dissolves hate. Kindness melts cruelty. Compassion calms passion. Cooperation evokes love and when we bow, others bend. This creates harmony .

 Today let me create harmony in my world.

http://bkwashington.org

Silence

Behind all creation is silence. Silence is the essential condition, the vital ingredient for all creation and all that is created. It is a power in its own right. The artist starts with a blank canvas- silence. The composer places it between and behind notes. The very ground of my being, out of which comes all my thoughts, is silence. 

Today let me stop, take a minute, and listen to the silence within me.

http://bkwashington.org

Selfless Love

Love can never be exclusive. The sun does not choose to shine on some flowers in the garden and not others. Love is inclusive and has many faces - caring, listening, sharing from the heart, just accepting someone for what they are right now, are all acts of love, as long as you seek nothing in return. The secret key to the greatest door called love is acceptance. First yourself, then others and eventually all.

Today let me make effort to have selfless love for all.

http://bkwashington.org

Patience

Patience is a virtue and a power too. Patience tells us that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and that we get over there one step at a time. Patience teaches us not to rush. Knowing that there is a reason and a season for everything it enables us to smile at the challenges, realizing that there is an answer to every problem. And, even though we cannot see it, yet there is awareness that within every problem lies an opportunity. 

Today let me learn the art of patience.

http://bkwashington.org

Activate Conscience

The simple act of cleaning the conscience every day, especially before sleep, allows me to catch those moments where I acted in a way I am not happy with. This gives me the chance to release energetic knots, to learn and to change. If I clean my conscience daily it will function properly in those big moments when I need to discern the best path forward through complex or cloudy situations. 

Today let me activate my conscience through regular cleaning.

http://bkwashington.org

Strong Heart

A physical doctor can fix a damaged heart, but not a broken or hard heart. Only love can heal a broken heart. At this time many hearts have hardened due to the pain of betrayal, hurt and mistrust. Negativity and cynicism are expressions of a hard heart. Negativity can provoke a hardhearted response. However healing requires softness. A strong, loving heart softens and heals.

 Today let me experience a big, strong, soft heart.

http://bkwashington.org

Filling the Holes

Weakness is the empty space between strengths. When there is a hole in the ground, if I attempt to dig it away the hole will only get deeper. In the same way if I try to get rid of my weaknesses by digging them out, they will only get deeper. Instead let me fill the hole with flowers. 

Today let me face the sun, fill with light and grow strengths where there are holes.

http://bkwashington.org

Power of Love

In a world of black and white, it is love that adds color. Black and white thinking is polarizing, seeing only two options such as either/or, my way/your way, right/wrong. When love is added, color becomes visible and new solutions are seen. It is the energy of love that brings brightness to our world. 

Today let me use love to add color to black and white thinking.

http://bkwashington.org

Being Optimistic

Optimism opens a door in difficult or hopeless situations. No matter what the crisis, an optimist maintains the outlook that it is a sign, time for a different way of thinking, or of doing things. Sometimes the signal has to be very clear even harsh, otherwise we may continue in self-delusion and not wake up. Of course if we lack optimism, instead of taking this signal as a step towards renaissance, complaint, resentment or even desperation will emerge. 

Today let me be optimistic.

http:/bkwashington.org

Free from Ego

Ego is not just having a big head. Ego is present every time you feel any kind of fear, or hear yourself saying "That's mine". The truth tells us that nothing is 'mine' or 'yours', we are all trustees, and fear is only present where there is the voice of attachment. Detach from everything, and you will banish ego, fear will be no more, and only then can true love return.

Today let me make effort to remain free from Ego.

http://bkwashington.org

Attitude towards Life

Never fight. Nothing is worth fighting for. Wisdom never fights, it waits patiently, speaks positively, releases easily, sees benefit in everything and envisions a future of abundance.knowing that all needs will be met at the right moment, in the right way. If you think life is a struggle you will always be struggling, If you think life is a breeze, your attitudes and actions will convey lightness and easiness. And that's what attracts everything you need, and much more. Make today a breeze not a battle.

Today let me make effort to enjoy the life.

http://bkwashington.org

Silence

The greatest art is to be silent. Not just unspeaking with the lips, but unspeaking with the mind. When the mind is quiet, its whole angle of vision changes. From pouncing on the problems, it begins to perceive the chances, the good things in life: and, in that discrimination which comes from silence, lie all other arts. The arts that make life a pleasure and a challenge; like how to talk to each other, entertain each other, accept each other - in short, how to be happy not just together, but alone.

Today let me make effort to practice silence.

http://bkwashington.org

Bringing Light

There can be no dark where there is light. Too often we spend our time and energy worrying about how to dispel darkness. We focus on difficult situations wondering how we can get rid of them. However, when I aim to bring light to these situations, the darkness is automatically dispelled.

Today let me remember to bring light rather than fight darkness.

http://bkwashington.org

Clean Intellect

The little pieces of my heart are caught in many different things. There are past hurts and joys, there are longings and unfulfilled desires in my heart. My heart is a storehouse of the past. It also holds a consistent thread of love that I carry always. To access the best of my heart requires the discerning capacity of the intellect. To choose that which serves best in each situation requires the clarity of a clean intellect. 

Today let me use the best intelligence of my heart and my intellect.

http://bkwashington.org

Path of Life

Things happen on the journey of life that changes the course of the journey. If I am attached to what’s going to happen next then I can’t be present for what is happening now. Attachment becomes expectation and prevents me from enjoying what is in front of me. 

Today let me enjoy the changing path of life’s journey.

http://bkwashington.org

Newness

It is easy to create new things, change places or do something different. To sustain that sense of newness that creates enthusiasm is more difficult. The secret of newness in life is not to do new things constantly, but to see everything you do with new eyes, new insights and a new perspective.

Today let me make effort to bring newness in whatever I do.

http://bkwashington.org

Foregiveness

When I am able to forgive the mistakes made by others, I am able to forget them easily also. So my mind is free from the burden of waste of all the past mistakes and I am able to be light even when I am faced with the negativity of the other person. I am never caught up with attitudes about people and I am successful in my relationship with others. 

Today let me learn the art of forgiving and remain free from the burden of waste.

http://bkwashington.org

Wisdom

Wisdom is to see what is not seen. When I only see what is visible to the two eyes, I miss out important details. To open the third eye of wisdom and see through to the reality of things is to create opportunities for oneself. I need to give this training to the third eye. 
Today I will make effort to look at the things differently.

http://bkwashington.org

Stay Happy

Only when I am happy within myself can I bring creativity to my life. Even though I have to do a number of routine jobs each day, they do not have to become dull- when I am happy, I can think of innovative ways of doing them. Even small changes have a big impact, and I will soon be inspired to make even larger changes to challenge me further. 

Today let me stay happy and bring creativity in every task I do.

http://bkwashington.org

Be Adaptive

We all have weaknesses that make it difficult for us to adapt to the needs of a situation. Our weaknesses can make us inflexible and blind to new possibilities. To have the ability to adapt gives me the ability to handle any situation. I become as flexible and beautiful as pure gold, which transforms when heated into something beautiful. I embrace change, and this equips me to enjoy the beauty I create and the joy I spread. 

Today let me be adaptive and be open to the new possibilities.

http://bkwashington.org

Stay Positive

When I make the effort of intentionally staying positive, I find all other connected positive thoughts coming up naturally. This is because the situation doesn't look so difficult or challenging with my positive frame of mind. A single positive thought helps in changing the entire situation.

Today let me make effort to stay positive.

http://bkwashington.org

Honesty

Honesty means being the same inside out. Honesty with oneself helps one to bring about constant improvement in the self. Honesty with others enables one to relate positively under all circumstances. There is no rudeness but there is an openness that brings about love towards the other person. When I am honest, I am able to experience progress in my own life and others are benefited too with my own self-progress.

Today let me be honest with myself.

http://bkwashington.org

Retreat in Silence

Silence is like a university and a hospital; when you enter, you learn and you heal. Silence is, therefore a place where I can retreat, to seek insight and to replenish myself. In silence I can fill myself with peace, love and happiness. Silence creates an inner happiness which is calm and sustaining, unlike the happiness from outside which is frenetic and fades quickly.

Today let me retreat for a few moments of silence to learn and heal.

http://bkwashington.org

Contentment

No matter how many external situations come in front of a contented person, they do not shake. When I am content I am aware that I have everything I need within me. Contentment makes me immune from the upheaval of situations and allows me to bring comfort to others. 

Today let me become a jewel of contentment knowing it makes me stable and brings benefit to others around me.

http://bkwashington.org

Beyond my Limits

When I think I have done enough and I can do no more, it is at this time that I have the opportunity to stretch my limits. Many people feel they have reached their limit and are unable to tolerate anything else in this world and in their lives. I am able to change my world when I stretch beyond my limited thoughts about what is possible.

 Today let me stretch my limits.

http://bkwashington.org

Easy Nature

When I have an easy nature, I am able to put a full stop in a second with great ease. I am not caught up with waste questions and exclamations. So I am able to enjoy everything that comes my way and move forward constantly with lightness. 

Today let me make an effort to make my nature easy and move forward.

http://bkwashington.org

Inner Order

We experience a sense of calm when there is order. When I lose inner power, chaos rules my thought energy and order is lost. Then I seek to create order externally through control or structure. However order comes from the beauty and harmony inside the soul. Order comes when there is understanding. Order comes with cleanliness. 

Today let me focus on creating inner order.

http://bkwashington.org

Be like a Flower

Be a fragrant flower in the garden of humanity. A flower gives without knowing it is giving. A flower gives without asking for anything in return. Just by its very presence it gives value to the situation. In the same way, spirituality gives a sweet fragrance and beauty to any situation. When I am connected to my inner beauty I bring an energy of upliftment to every gathering. 

Today let me express spiritual fragrance like a flower.

http://bkwashington.org

Spiritual Process

A teacher or a book cannot take the concepts you have in your head and make them sit in your heart. They cannot graft a love of meditation onto you, if you are not willing to develop your own love for meditating. Since spiritual experiences are born and nurtured from within, you need to be willing to participate in your own spiritual process.

 Today let me participate in my own spiritual process.

http://bkwashington.org

Appreaciate

Clocks are filled with small working parts. The intricate timing and positioning of each part is unique. The cooperation and coordination between parts is what makes a clock work. In the same life, my life is full of small moving parts. People play parts in my life. Recognizing and appreciating the unique timing and position of each part allows them to flow smoothly and cooperate in the functioning of my life. 

Today let me appreciate all the small moving parts and people in my life.

http://bkwashington.org

Sacred Space

Temples, mosques, churches and special buildings are experienced as sacred space. They are sacred because they have been filled with thoughts of love. respect and attention to the highest in humanity and to God. In the same way I can create sacred space between myself and another person by honoring and respecting the value of each one. 

Today, let me create sacred space in each conversation I have.

http://bkwashington.org

Light Filled Actions

In an activity-conscious, task-driven world, is it easy to think that action is everything. In fact more important than the action itself is the energy within the action. When the light of the soul is lit then every action is filled with light. The world needs light, especially when there is darkness. 

Today let me fill my actions with light.

http://bkwashington.org

Balance

The perfect balance is found when two strengths come together. Balance is not created by combining a weakness and strength. This is known as compensation, not balance. The strongest balance is a result of two strengths coming together to compliment each other. 

Today let me express my strengths in balance.

http://bkwashington.org

Cleaning my Mind

It is important to clean the mind before sleeping each night. When I check my feelings I can discover energetic knots from the days actions, interactions and thoughts and let them go. Like a balloon floating away I release memories that do not serve me. I face anything I have done and do not feel good about. I understand what triggered me and resolve to change my reaction next time. I let go of energies from the world that are not mine. 

Today let me clean my mind before sleeping and rest like a child.

http://bkwashington.org

Melody of Peace

The original melody of the soul is peace. Behind the noise in the mind, beyond the fear and hurt in the heart, is a sweet symphony of peace playing as backdrop. When I turn my attention towards it, and away from the noise, I can hear its beautiful sound. 

Today let me dance to my inner melody of peace.

http://bkwashington.org

Nourishing Mind and Body

The secret of good health is good nourishment and exercise. We need daily nourishing food and exercise to maintain a healthy body and it takes care and attention to fulfill this responsibility.However, the human spirit needs the same attention in the form of the thoughts we have and how the mind puts them to use. Feeding both body and mind with nourishing food gives a powerful and consistent message to respect and co-operate with one another. This is holistic good health.

Today let me make effort to nourish both my mind and body.

http://bkwashington.org

Feeling of Belonging

Feelings of belonging last longer than tasks accomplished. Creating a feeling of belonging is more important than getting the task done. When I take a few moments before getting down to business, to exchange a few words of encouragement or appreciation, I create a feeling of belonging and closeness. This creates a fabric of unity and makes the work easier.

Today let me create connections with others as well as get tasks done.
