"When prayer removes distrust and doubt and enters the field of mental certainty, it becomes faith; and the universe is built on faith. Through the art of affirmative prayer, the limitless resources of the Spirit are at my command. The power of the Infinite is at my disposal."

Ernest Holmes

Unlocking the Power of Affirmative Prayer:

Imagine you're standing on a shoreline, casting your desires like messages in a bottle into the vast expanse. You send them out with a mixture of hope and uncertainty, wondering if they'll ever be received. It's a bit like tossing coins into a wishing well and crossing your fingers for a bit of luck.

Instead of merely releasing your wishes, you're engaged in a heart-to-heart conversation. It's a conversation that transcends the limitations of language, for the Universal Creative Mind understands the language of your heart.

In this sacred space, you're invited to speak your desires with the authenticity of your soul.

This dialogue isn't about just saying words; it's about infusing your intentions with the energy of genuine emotion. It's about feeling the resonance of your desires throughout your being as if your very cells are humming in agreement. It's about aligning your heart, mind, and spirit in a harmonious symphony of intention.

Affirmative prayer bridges the gap between the earthly and the cosmic, the mundane and the divine. It's a bridge built not of bricks and mortar, but of intention and connection. Through this bridge, you find that you're never alone in your desires, for the Universe stands beside you, nodding in agreement, saying, "Yes, I hear you."

"We are all thinking, willing, knowing, and conscious centers of Life. We are surrounded by, immersed in, and

there is flowing through us a creative something... call it what you will."

Ernest Holmes

So, as you engage in affirmative prayer, envision yourself in a sacred temple of connection. Feel the energy of the Universe enveloping you like a warm embrace. Speak your desires with the assurance that they are not lost in the cosmic void but are received with grace and understanding.

Affirmative prayer is your invitation to step into the heart of the Universe and be heard. It's a reminder that you are an integral part of this cosmic tapestry, and your desires are essential threads that weave the pattern of your life's journey.

Beyond Words and Beyond Boundaries:

Imagine sitting across from a dear friend who knows you inside and out, who understands your heart's truest yearnings. You don't need to explain yourself; they already grasp the essence of who you are and what you seek. As you start to share your hopes and dreams, there's a sense of comfort in knowing that they're not just listening, but truly hearing you.

Now, transpose this scenario to the realm of the cosmic. Affirmative prayer invites you to engage in a similar heart-to-heart conversation, not with a friend, but with the vast and loving embrace of the Universe itself. As you engage in this cosmic chat, feel the energy of validation and acceptance.

The Universe isn't judging your desires; it's applauding your willingness to co-create. It's a partnership of co-creation, where your intentions ripple through the cosmos, shaping the currents of energy that guide the course of your experiences. It's like having a chat with a cosmic confidant who perceives the depths of your soul and holds space for your desires.

"Seek to make your work a prayer, your believing an act, your living an art. It is then that the object of your faith will be made visible to you. It is then that you shall 'kiss the lips of your desire."

Ernest Holmes

In this sacred exchange, you're not simply listing off your wants; you're crafting intentions that resonate with the highest good—for yourself and all beings. You are co-authoring a script for a grand play of life, ensuring that every scene is filled with positivity, growth, and harmony.

In the realm of affirmative prayer, your intentions are like seeds planted in the fertile soil of the Universe. With each affirmation, you water these seeds with the energy of belief and positivity. And just like a skilled gardener, you tend to your intentions with patience and care, trusting that they will sprout and blossom in their due time.

The Dance of Co-Creation:

Picture yourself standing on the edge of a vast, celestial ballroom. It's not just any ballroom—it's the dance floor of the Universe itself. Stars twinkle like chandeliers, and galaxies swirl like elegant gowns in motion. The air is charged with the energy of potential and the music of creation hums in the background.

As you step onto this dance floor, you realize you're not alone. The Universe is your partner, the most graceful and attentive partner you could ever imagine. With every step, every move, you're engaged in a dance of co-creation. Your desires become the choreography, and the Universal Creative Mind is the perfect dance partner, following your lead with the utmost precision.

Affirmative prayer is your invitation to this cosmic dance. It's like crafting an elegantly worded request to your partner, inviting them to join you in a waltz of manifestation. But it's not just about the words; it's about the energy and intention behind them. Your invitation carries the essence of your desires, dreams, and aspirations.

As you speak your affirmations, it's as if you're extending your hand to the Universe, asking it to take your lead. With each affirmation, you're setting the tempo and guiding the dance. The Universal Creative Mind listens intently, ready to follow your cues and match the rhythm of your intentions.

"A constant realization of the presence of the Spirit will provide a sense of Divine Companionship that no other attitude could produce."

Ernest Holmes

Imagine the energy exchange as a vibrant and luminous aura that envelops you as you dance. Your desires and the cosmic energy merge, creating a beautiful synchronicity. It's like the dance of your dreams materializing before your eyes. Your affirmative prayers are the choreography that guides this dance, ensuring that every movement is infused with purpose and intention.

In this cosmic ballroom, time loses its significance. The dance isn't bound by the past or future, it's a dance of the present moment. With every step, you're actively co-creating your reality. And the Universal Creative Mind, your cosmic partner, is there to witness, support, and amplify the energy of your intentions.

How to Practice Affirmative Prayer:

The process of affirmative prayer is a dance of co-creation with

the Universe. Each word you speak resonates like a cosmic chord, aligning your intentions with the rhythm of creation. As you let

go and trust, the Universe responds in kind, bringing your desires

into harmony with the greater cosmic plan. With every session of affirmative prayer, you step into the flow of universal collaboration, embracing the boundless power of the Creative Mind.

"Perfect God within me, Perfect life within me, which is God, come forth into expression through me as that which I am: lead me ever in the paths of perfection ..."

"Today I do affirm that I am Divinely guided...There is that within which know what to do and how to do it, and it compels me to act on what it knows."

Ernest Holmes
