Let’s finish with a prayer:
There is That Within Me that is perfect health – always has been, always will. It is magnificent Energy, coalescing through my thoughts and feelings to become form as me. It is the Divine Pattern of all that was, is now, and can be. It is my Lifeforce.
I am more open than I was 60 days ago to the revealing of that Divine Pattern of myself. I now accept a new story about my body and my life. I declare I am an excellent picture of The Divine in action. My cells have been reenergized and are doing the work they are meant to do. My blood is clean, my muscles are flexible. My skeleton is strong and resilient. My organs are functioning beautifully. I am a new person, pain free and happy with who I am accepting myself to be.
I know that as I have accepted Health as my divine birthright, I have also accepted it for everyone in the Thank God We’re Healthy campaign. And as we accept Divine Health as our new story, we accept it for more people than we can possibly imagine. Our choosing Health for ourselves makes the world a healthier place to be. And this is a good thing!
Gratefully I remember the Truth of my being. Gratefully I realize the Truth has set me free. I celebrate Health in every area of my life and the lives of others.
I release these words to the Law of Mind, knowing they are already done. And so it is.
Thank you for allowing me to serve you the past 60 days. I have gained so much from our journey!!

Day 59
Tomorrow is our last day of our Thank God We’re Healthy campaign. How do you feel?
There was a movie with Jane Fonda years ago that I can’t remember the name of … but I do remember a scene with a man sticking his head out the window and yelling “I’m mad as hell, I’m not going to take it anymore!”
In a way, this is the attitude we have to approach our healing with --- not with the “mad as hell” – tho that feeling would give the words a push – but the “I’m not going to take this anymore.” That thought, plus the feeling, wakes us up! We suddenly realized all we have accepted in our lives that we really don’t like – and that we don’t have to have to settle for any of it.
Sometimes when we get that feeling, we forget to carry on with it, and replace what we don’t want, with what we do want.
If you haven’t had the success you wanted with this campaign, perhaps you ought to get mad! Bring yourself to the feeling and then yell “I’m not going to take this anymore!” and don’t stop there! Tell the Universe what you DO want! “ The Truth of me is I am healthy – my life works wonderfully – and I feel good! This is my Truth and this is what I choose to see manifest!”
Choose to stand in that Truth until you can feel a sense of joy bubbling up … this is all your atoms dancing to the perfect pattern of health … this is the Universe applauding your decision!
You are all that you’ve decided to be – don’t settle for anything less than The Best!

Day 58
When I wrote about acknowledgment yesterday – I meant for you to acknowledge your own successes!! We spend so much time thinking about the challenges – and not enough time realizing that our work in consciousness is having an effect!!
Here are two successes that were sent to me:
Jeff wrote: “I have noticed that my arthritis is not acting up as it usually does, and I believe it's on the way out. I've also noticed that my clothes are fitting a little looser, and that speaks of weight loss which is very healthy indeed!”
MerriLu wrote: “Yes...it works...and Yes, pain gone is not missed...and YES, I am grateful and YES, I use "Thank God I am Healthy" as a mantra daily and once again, YES...YES...YES...”
Often as I am in the process of changing my thinking about an experience, every little thing I notice that is in the direction of revealing the Truth of me, I call “signs of land.” Remember Noah watching for land during the flood. His first sign was a dove returning with a small twig of olive leaves. The dove symbolizes peace and the olive branch, a winner. As we begin to look for and acknowledge our successes, we feel a deep sense of Peace. The fears about the condition or experience drain away, and we are able to open more fully to our good.
AFFIRM: “My work in Mind is revealing a healthy me! I see it, I acknowledge it, and it continues to be so!”

Day 57
I haven’t heard from anyone participating in our Thank God We’re Healthy campaign lately. Perhaps you got bored? Perhaps it was just too much work? Oh .. wait … I know! Everyone is healed and feeling wonderful!!
Acknowledgment is an important part of the healing process. When I had the back challenge a few years ago, after I realized how I was perpetuating it in consciousness, I started gratefully acknowledging every time it didn’t hurt – no matter how small it was. In fact, I started out by saying “It works! Treatment works!” and got excited about every little thing – from being able to walk up or down the stairs (I lived in a 3 story townhome) to being able to get up off the toilet with little or no pain.
We all know how nice it is to receive acknowledgment – your subjective mind likes it too!!
Affirm: I am so grateful to be able to notice the things that are working in my life!

Day 56
A good day to pray:
I breathe deeply and welcome the powerful Presence of infinitely intelligent Life within me. I allow myself to be still and know that I am God.
God is absolutely all there is – so there can be nothing that isn’t God including me.
Knowing this I claim the perfect pattern of Divine Heath is within me now. I absolutely let go of all stories I have had about myself and my life that said anything different. I am vibrantly alive. I am healthy cells, healthy organs, healthy bones, healthy muscles. The blood that flows though my veins is a Divine Elixir, spreading radiant Life though out my body.
How grateful I am to know this Truth. How grateful I am to have changed my consciousness to one of Perfect Health. How grateful I am to release these words to Spiritual Law, knowing they are already done. And so it is.

Day 55
Sometimes changing our consciousness can seem like a never-ending experience … well, it is! We have to be constantly vigilant about what we are thinking.
One thing I did while changing my consciousness about my back when it was so bad, was pick an affirmation for the day, and consciously breathe deeply and say it when ever I went to the washroom. (I know – it sounds weird, but I couldn’t stick to a “time” .. so I picked an experience – smile!!)
A note about affirmations – choose ones that feel appropriate to you .. in fact the ones you create yourself will resonate with your subconscious mind better than any I could give you.
However, here is a list of affirmations I liked:
I am healthy in body, mind and emotions.
I am strong and healthy and full of Life.
Divine Energy flows through me with ease.
All of my cells are dancing in tune with the Infinite.
I radiate good health all the time.
My body is a great place to be.
I am healthy, happy and harmonious.
Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better.

Day 54
If you have been following this campaign and doing the work suggested, you will have experienced a healing. Or perhaps you haven’t had a total healing yet but there has been some relief in the condition.
If you haven’t participated fully, I have to ask you – do you really want to be well?
As I wrote yesterday – all it takes is wanting it and allowing it to happen!
We are working with a Principle – a Principle that works for us by working through us, according to what we are predominantly thinking about. It cannot not work!! A Principle is like 1 plus 1 equals 2 … 1 plus 1 cannot decide arbitrarily that it will equal 3 or not work at all. It has to equal 2!
Our thoughts and feelings are like that 1 plus 1 -- thoughts and feelings equal manifestation. Wanting involves both thinking health and feeling healthy. Allowing it is Trusting the Principle to work for us.
Affirm: I love living in my healthy body!

Day 53
In the Abraham-Hicks writings it says that the two factors in the creation of anything are to WANT IT and ALLOW IT.
Wanting it – we all want to be healthy in every aspect of our being, don’t we?
So - do we Allow it? Many people who are experiencing dis-ease are doing so by default. They want to be healthy, but the majority of their thoughts don’t support their wellness.
Dr. Ernest Holmes wrote that the only price we had to pay was in spiritual coin – to me that means paying attention. Paying attention to what we’re thinking about, talking about .. paying attention to what we’re feeling, and then asking “Is this conducive to my greatest good?” and if it’s not – consciously changing the direction we were heading in.
Affirm: “Divine Mind gently, easily, and with humor, reminds me when I am off track”

Day 52
“The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate troubles, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.” Buddha
Today, no matter what transpires, let yourself be fully present. Be right where your body is - and not just present, but fully present in Love … This is the wise thing to do. Love is the greatest healing agent in the universe!
If your body hurts, love it anyway.
If your finances are lacking, love them regardless.
If your relationships are painful, love them anyway.
If your work is stressful, love it.
Affirm: I let Love do Its perfect work in me, as me, now!

Day 51
Catherine Ponder, one of the great prosperity teachers in New Thought, wrote:
"That which is not for my highest good now fades from me and I no longer desire it.”
One of my health intentions is to live in a trim, flexible body. Yet evenings come and I start thinking about tortilla chips!! Part of me knows late night eating isn’t good for me … yet the voice of those chips calling me is louder!!
I decided to experiment with Catherine Ponder’s affirmation. I have used it the past few days, and am happy to report it’s working!! I know this because as I opened the cupboard this morning to get down the oatmeal, I saw a brand new bag of chips! I had forgotten all about them!!
It is so delightful to remember how powerful we are and what a wonderful tool our mind is. As we embody affirmations as our own, the Universal Subjective Mind takes them and makes them our Truth!! Yea God!!
What desires are calling you that aren’t for your highest good? Use this affirmation in your spiritual work for awhile and see what happens!

Day 50
Ernest Holmes wrote: "We should work, not with anxiety, but with expectancy, not by coercion, but with conviction."
How are you doing with this? When you do your spiritual work, are you doing it with an expectancy and conviction? Or are you hoping it will work?
Hope is good – but not when it comes to changing your consciousness about something. “Hope” denotes a chance of it not working.
Working with expectancy and conviction tells the Universe we are serious about our intentions. We require health in all areas of our lives!! And that we are grateful to know we can truly change our thinking and change our experience!!
Affirm today: Divine Mind assists me in attaining and maintaining the consciousness of health.

Day 49
A good day to pray. Join me in this Spiritual Mind Treatment for our health. Breathe deeply, and allow these words to sink deep into your subjective mind.
We live in an infinite field of possibilities. This Field is the Mind of God, which is everywhere present, infinitely intelligent and unconditionally loving. This Field awaits our choices, becoming what ever we choose.
Today I choose health – mental, emotional and physical health. As soon as I made my choice, Spirit began to radiate through me as health. In my mind’s eye, I see everything changing to complete my choice. I see this radiation of Spirit touch not only my physical body, but the body of my affairs.
I choose balance – and declare that everything in my life is in perfect balance. I feel the blessings of being consciously aware of the Diving Presence within. I feel everything in my life falling into its right and perfect place.
I am so grateful for the Power Within. I am so grateful I am waking up to the Truth of my Being. I am so grateful I can speak this word and experience the effects, not only in my life, but in the lives of all the people in the Thank God We’re Healthy campaign and more. And so it is.

Day 48
And yet another reason I believe we don’t instantly see the Truth revealed and experience our healing …
We won’t let go of the old story!!
How many of us have done our Treatment work with the intention to be healthy in mind and heart, and then just a little while later, told someone about our ailment, or our lack of money, or love or how awful our job is, etc..
Jesus said “You can’t put new wine into old wineskins.” He was saying you can’t reveal the Truth with the consciousness that created the situation. We have to change our thinking to change our experience.
Today make a decision to not tell your story to anyone – not even you!. If you find your mind moving in that direction, change the direction of your thoughts.
Yes, it isn’t going to be easy – after all our stories have become ingrained – become habits in our minds. But we can do it!! Do it for just one day to see what it feels like! Soon the healthy thinking will become a new habit.
What to think about to replace the old story??? Think about what you are grateful for instead!

Another reason we don’t instantly see the Truth revealed when we do our Spiritual Mind Treatments is because we don’t believe we are that powerful.
In 1921 Judge Thomas Troward, author of Edinburgh Lectures and other books that influenced Ernest Holmes (the founder of Religious Science) wrote,
“In forming man, God, the Creative Principle, produced a perfect work, and our conception of ourselves as imperfect can only be the result of our own ignorance of what we really are; and our advancement, therefore, does not consist in having something new added to us, but in learning to bring into action powers which already exist in us, but which we have never tried to use, and therefore not yet developed.”
He goes on to say, “If we wish to attain these great powers, the question is, where are we to seek them? And the answer is in ourselves. That is the great secret. Every person is a concentration of the Universal Spirit into individual consciousness. It is the Real Self that we so often leave out in our estimate of what we are. Our challenge is that we have set up barriers to our awareness of it.”
Affirm: All barriers to my awareness of my True Self are dissolved gently and easily.

Day 46
I’m knowing you had fun yesterday using that powerful tool called your imagination!
We are deepening our understanding that the basis of all healing is a change in belief. So what stops us? We can imagine ourselves healthy …. So why don’t we instantly change?
There are many ways I could answer those questions – today I am going to talk about deservability. Do you really believe you deserve to be healthy, or have that right person in your life, or have plenty of money, or be in the most wonderful profession?
Some of us have left parts of ourselves in the memories of painful childhood experiences that made us feel we weren’t worth of living a full life. Working on our forgiveness processes helped recover those parts. I know you are feeling more whole after doing the work you have already done. (and there always seems to be more work to do in this area)
The past few days have been about remembering who you REALLY are – Spirit in form. As Spirit you are totally worthy of every good thing – how could you not be? It had become a habit to think of yourself as unworthy, undeserving of your Highest Good. Now you know God is your good,. Your good is your God and It is within you now!
AFFIRM: I deserve my highest good – my good is God! God expresses through me as Health!

Day 45
Does it make you feel funny to think of yourself in terms of a wonderous Being? I can imagine someone looking at the last two days of our campaign, and thinking “But you don’t understand, my body (or life, or relationship, or job) isn’t working right. If I am so wonderous, why would this be happening?”
Perhaps we’re having the experience we are because we accepted it as it is. We’ve accepted that it isn’t working – not with the sacred acceptance of ‘ok, look how powerful I am – I created dis-ease in my life … now I’ll use that same power to make it the way I want it’ … but with a sense of fatalism ….“God handed me this situation, I’ve got to deal with it.”
This is what we call ‘settling’ – settling for what is, and therefore telling the Universe we want more of it.
If it is true (and I believe it is) that the starting point of all conditions is in our thought-images, then we don’t have to settle for what we’ve created. We can change our mental picture of ourselves, and act as if what we desire is already so!
Spend some time today imagining yourself free of the condition that you’re desiring to change. How would you act differently? What does that freedom look like? How does it FEEL? Focus on that and take it into prayer or meditation, believing that it is possible. It is, you know – nothing is impossible for God – and God is within you right now !!

Day 43
On Mondays I usually share your stories – however, I didn’t receive any this past week! Which is fine, as today is part of Thanksgiving weekend in Canada and I don’t want it to pass by without talking about gratitude:
I know it’s hard to feel grateful when you’re sick or things aren’t going right in your life … yet, what do you think would happen if you were to tear your thoughts away from what doesn’t seem to be working, and start thinking about all the things you have to be grateful for? Only good can come of it.
Maybe you’re in too much pain, physically, mentally or emotionally, to want to find anything to be grateful for …so….. How about being alive? Because all we know in this dimension, (unless we work at it,) is the physical aspect of Life, we take it for granted. We don’t stop to think about how awesome it is that we are here at all!! I remember watching Rev. Terry Cole-Whittaker on TV years ago, talking about how out of the thousands of sperm racing to the egg, We won!! Just the concept of a single egg, splitting and splitting and each cell knowing what part it was to play in our creation is mindboggling! And who hasn’t looked at a tiny newborn and thought “Wow – I used to be like that?”
We are a miracle in the making – continually evolving into something new. Who knows – maybe our dis-ease is part of that evolutionary process!
Spend some time today consciously being grateful for your life. Make a list and put it somewhere you will see it on a daily basis. Add to it when ever you want.
Meister Eckhart, the great Christian Mystic, wrote “If the only prayer you pray in your entire life is ‘Thank You’, that is enough.”
I am grateful for YOU!
I know it’s hard to feel grateful when you’re sick or things aren’t going right in your life … yet, what do you think would happen if you were to tear your thoughts away from what doesn’t seem to be working, and start thinking about all the things you have to be grateful for? Only good can come of it.
Maybe you’re in too much pain, physically, mentally or emotionally, to want to find anything to be grateful for …so….. How about being alive? Because all we know in this dimension, (unless we work at it,) is the physical aspect of Life, we take it for granted. We don’t stop to think about how awesome it is that we are here at all!! I remember watching Rev. Terry Cole-Whittaker on TV years ago, talking about how out of the thousands of sperm racing to the egg, We won!! Just the concept of a single egg, splitting and splitting and each cell knowing what part it was to play in our creation is mindboggling! And who hasn’t looked at a tiny newborn and thought “Wow – I used to be like that?”
We are a miracle in the making – continually evolving into something new. Who knows – maybe our dis-ease is part of that evolutionary process!
Spend some time today consciously being grateful for your life. Make a list and put it somewhere you will see it on a daily basis. Add to it when ever you want.

Day 42
Another good day to pray. Breathe deeply and join me in this Spiritual Mind Treatment:
I see God everywhere. It is the Source of all good. It is all possibility and all power. I am an expression of all God is right here and now. There is nothing I could do to get away from this Truth. It always has been, is now, and ever will be.
Knowing this, I declare I am ready to live a full healthy life. I put down all my old baggage, and stand proudly, willing to move forward with ease. I am healthy in every area of my life. My body, finances, relationships and work all reflect the beauty and harmony of The Divine. This is good, very good.
There is only One Life – God’s Life – and this is the Life I am living now.
Gratefully I release my words, knowing they are already done, and so it is.

Day 41
Day 41
Our physical body needs food, shelter and rest.
Our emotional body needs attention, peace and love.
Our mental body needs clarity and peace.
Our Spiritual Body, in which all others reside, needs nothing. It just is, always has been and always will be. The recognition of this Truth, and the alignment of our physical, mental and emotional bodies with this Truth, makes all things necessary come into manifestation effortlessly.
Let go of focusing on what you think you don’t have, or what you need.
Focus on God instead.
