I ask you to light a candle right now as a companion with this message. Within the candle see an image and remembrance of what the light represents. What comes forth in you?

I associate tranquility and unflappability with the light glowing from the candle. In the center of the flame see your most sacred spiritual person–whether it be Buddha, Jesus, Gandhi, Mary Magdalene, recalling how she was able to perceive Jesus in the Garden after the discovery of the empty tomb. Likewise, I am able to sense and discern the holy and the whole within people, places and things both living and inorganic.

The comfort of the light brings the truth of our luminous Spirit and the light within every soul.

Celebrate someone or some thing today. If you can along with me think of three things or people or events you are most grateful for in this moment. Perhaps it is a special date coming or a loved one is troubled and you choose to acknowledge their inner radiant and overcoming Spirit. Highlight one of the three blessings you are most thankful for.

In quietness and prayer having the candle flame as a focal point, I spiritually acknowledge the overflowing good coming to me and already in my life. I see each loved one and close friend as inwardly strengthened and outwardly prospered in serendipitous and tangible ways now. The challenging areas of my life are immediately raised and cleansed in the divine purifying light of God.

Sitting in the quiet, I rest in the peaceful presence……………..

I breathe with awareness and stretch the body temple, preparing to come forth from the time apart.

I go about the day feeling the presence of a spiritual love and knowing the presence and power of the divine encircles and circulates through me, my life and all I am associated with and beyond. Thank you unlimited Source and personal Presence, Amen
