Day 60

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 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 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 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 47

Day 47



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 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!

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 38

Ernest Holmes wrote that Unconditional Love overcomes everything unlike itself. Love, then, must be power. He also states that love is the self-givingness of Spirit. Love and Spirit are one and the same. Love heals because Spirit is the presence of wholeness and health.

Recently I had a discussion with someone who takes a lot of medicine. Medicine deals with symptoms and of course, we want relief from our symptoms. The person was embarrassed because of their medications. They felt guilty as they believed themselves to be a New Thought person. I reminded them that medicine was a tool for healing.

My teacher, Rev. Helen Street, when she first started teaching classes in Honolulu, purchased a huge bottle of aspirin and put it on the sink in the washroom. Of course, someone came out and asked her "If you believe what you teach, why do you have a huge bottle of aspirin on the counter?"
Rev. Helen replied "Well, if you can't walk on water - take a boat."

Though the real healing comes from a revealing of the Truth, an uncovering of the Love's Presence, and a change in consciousness, we should not feel guilty or ashamed because we take medicine to help us. If we are in pain or discomfort, it is hard to focus on being whole. In Truth, if everything is God, then the doctors, nurses, medicines, etc., are all an expression of God in our lives for our healing. In Divine Mind we are already whole and perfect in every way.

Breathe deeply and let the Truth be revealed!!

Day 36

Day 36

One of our participants has been working on quitting smoking .. she wrote the other day and said she’d “fallen off the wagon” but was getting back on and doing her work.
BRAVO!!

None of us are perfect – and after year or months of a habit (whether it be smoking, or habitual thinking about some condition) very few can just quit cold turkey! It’s nothing to be ashamed of, nothing to feel guilty for. The important thing is to get back into the new groove!

Remember records? Those plastic things we used to listen to and be so careful of because if they got scratched – the needle would get stuck in the rut and drive us crazy!?!? It’s almost like a dominant thought creates a groove in your brain that gets deeper and deeper, so that any thought that’s remotely like it, falls into that groove.

This a good reason for affirmations! It is said that saying affirmations with feeling and belief can create a new pathway that overrides the previous ones in 21 days. You have to pick some that really resonate with you. My favourite is:

Divine Mind now assists me in attaining the consciousness of ________.

Remember, we’re doing our healing work from the inside out – so we’re building a healing consciousness!! I KNOW we are supported in every step we take by The Divine and I am so grateful!!
__________

If you find that you’d like to talk, please send me an e-mail with your phone number and a good time to call – or we can meet in my chatroom.

The Thank God We're Healthy campaign is being archived on http://tgwh.blogspot.com
Feel free to let others know about it. Thank you for participating!

Also feel free to share any demonstration stories – we all love hearing them!! Send them to me, and I will add them to our Monday e-mails.

If you would like to make a donation to this online ministry, you may use PayPal and use revangelica@gmail.com or mail a cheque to Rev. Angelica Taggart, 117-20465 Douglas Crescent, Langley, BC V3A 4B6. I am so grateful for the generosity of the Universe as It manifest through YOU!!

Day 35

A good day to pray:

I breathe deeply, allowing myself to settle into my Spirit. In this peaceful place, I feel the powerful Presence of The Divine. I sense the infinite intelligence. I feel the unconditional love. I am in awe of knowing I am the beloved in whom God is well pleased.

As I sit with this feeling, I notice a shift in my consciousness. All old stories of dis-ease are gently falling away like autumn leaves. They have done their service and are finished.

In their place a sense of newness is born. A feeling of vitality floods my cells and radiates out into my world. I am healthy! On every level of my being, I am healthy!

This is my Truth. This is my new story and I am sticking to it. I am so grateful for the constant Presence in my life. I am grateful the life I am living is an extension of God Life, and I make it good, very good.

Gratefully I release these words, knowing they are so. And so it is.

Day 34

Sometimes when we’re talking about our health, we say “my bad back”, “my cancer”, “my depression” etc., as if that condition was an entity that we own and live with – just like we say “my cat” or “my dog.”

I wish I could find a poem I once read called “Adam Names the Animals.” When I read that poem years ago, I realized that we get to experience what ever we name.

Every time I use the phrase “my bad back,” I am telling the Universe I want to experience more of the effects of that condition I have claimed as my own. The Universe says YES – that is the only word It knows. The Universe cannot say “Sorry – even though you’ve been thinking about the condition for months, and are still claiming it, I can’t give it to you because you Treated about it this morning.” It can only give you more of what you are focused on.

Where is your focus right now? What are you claiming for yourself?

Oh I know – You’re focused on and claiming your Highest Good!!

Affirm: I am healthy in mind, emotions and body!

Day 32

In the classic book by Raymond Charles Barker, Treat Yourself to Life, he writes:

"The center of your life is within you, flowing out from you to the circumference. The circumference you call your world, your experience. Realize, however, that the circumference could not be unless there was a creative center within you. This creative center in the midst of you is called by most religions the Spirit of God. It is self-evident that life arises at the center and moves to the circumference. It is self-evident that in the world of which you are the center, you are the only thinker."


Meditate on this today. At the centre of you is You!! It is all powerful, unconditionally loving, and the divine pattern of perfect health. Let that Beloved Energy nurture you today. Let it continue to move from the center of your Being and fill every cell of your body with Light, every thought of your mind with Peace, and every beat of your heart with Love.

Day 31

When we’re not feeling comfortable in our bodies or in our lives, we tend to focus on that discomfort. As we focus on it, it gets worse, so we focus on it even more. We set up a cycle of energy that creates more and more discomfort.

Ernest Holmes, the founder of Religious Science, wrote: "When a man's thought rests entirely on himself, he becomes abnormal and unhappy but when he gives himself with enthusiasm to any legitimate purpose, losing himself in the thing in which he is doing, he becomes normal and happy. Let the one who is sad, depressed, or unhappy find some altruistic purpose into which he may pour his whole being and he will find a new inflow of life of which he has never dreamed."

In other words, to get out of the cycle – do something for someone else!

Now you might say to me “You don’t understand, I hurt too much to do anything” or “I don’t have any money to do anything for anyone” or ???.

Doing something for someone else doesn’t have to be BIG – you can pick up the phone and tell someone how much you appreciate them …. You can write someone a letter. You can offer to walk someone’s dog.

The point is to be of service. Years ago I picked up a greeting card and read “The best exercise for the heart is reaching out and helping someone up.” That has stuck with me for many years, and it works! If I am feeling down, when I reach out to serve someone else, I am able to get out of my ‘pity-party’ and for the time I am serving them, I am not thinking about what’s wrong with me!! I give that cycle a rest … and if I do it consciously enough, I break that cycle, and pretty soon begin to feel lighter, and more healthy in all areas of my life!

Try it today!

Affirm: I am ready and willing to be of service to my world.

Day 19

Sometimes in the middle of changing our consciousness about something it seems like all hell breaks loose, or life becomes too hard to handle. When we don‘t feel well, everything becomes intensified. Daily chores, like cooking, doing the laundry, and paying bills, seem to become just too much.

When this happens, stop! Nothing is as important in that moment as your emotional health! Allow yourself to take time out. Science is beginning to prove that stress is on of the greatest factors in physical disease.

Have you ever walked into an older church and felt the sacredness of that place? I believe that years of people using the building as a sacred place imbued it with spiritual, healing, comforting energy. I would like to suggest that you create a quiet, sacred place in your home. It could be a room, a corner or a comfortable chair. You might place a candle there, or a picture of something that is sacred and peaceful for you. Infuse this area with Love. Have it be your intention that every time you come to this spot, you are renewing the energy of wholeness. You can do your Spiritual Mind Treatments, spiritual reading and meditation in this spot. Or you can just come to be refreshed.

Here is an exercise for your sacred place: Close your eyes and take long, slow deep breaths. When you feel yourself calming, imagine you are breathing from your heart space – in the middle of your chest. Breathe in love, breathe out the stress. Feel your emotional body calming. Keep breathing and imagine the Love of The Divine filling you up and nurturing you. When you feel more balanced, that The Divine for Its healing Presence within you.

Day 18

How is your forgiveness process coming along? Are you beginning to feel lighter?



Towards the end of his life, Ernest Holmes was playing with the idea of vibration. He knew as he did a Spiritual Mind Treatment, he was setting up a vibration in the Universe. I think Holmes would probably appreciate the Abraham teachings of Jerry and Esther Hicks today. They are the most popular vibrational teachers at the moment, yet we’ve known that we radiate energy for a long time. I can remember in the early ’70s talking about the “vibes” we got and gave off.



Science is now saying that each of our cells has an intelligence that is constantly working to keep that cell healthy. Our feelings of health are supporting that work. Our fears of being sick create havoc in that work. Our feelings are what set up the higher vibrations of health, or the lower vibrations of illness.



Today, let yourself imagine that you are bathing your cells with the energy of health. Breathe deeply and let yourself FEEL this. Feel a vibration of Love moving through your body at the cellular level with every beat of your heart. Love is the greatest healing agent in this universe.

Nourish your cells with this Love, and imagine them healthy and strong.

Notice as you do this, that you begin to feel lighter.

Close this healing exercise with gratitude. Be grateful to your cells, be grateful for the Infinite Intelligence within them, and be grateful for your health!

Day 15

SO – have you picked a forgiveness process and started the work? I know we have very busy lives, and are working through lots of things, yet this work is essential to our health! Why would we put it off?!

My dear friend, MerriLu Parks, a medical intuitive who with her husband moved to Brazil to work with John of God, writes this:

Here at the Casa, the staff and John of God speak nearly every single day about the importance of forgiveness!!!
They state that forgiveness and love open us to the energies of healing being able to penetrate and permeate our bodies on the deepest levels.

I heard one person ask a staff member how many times she had to forgive a particular person...she was told, "As many times as necessary!"


(Google “John of God” and you’ll find that this is a man who has given his life over to facilitating healing and has served thousands!)

Another member of our list writes that he realized once again he has to do the forgiveness process on his Father …. My feeling is that we forgive to the best of our ability each time we do it, and if stuff comes up around that person again, it’s not that we didn’t do it right the first time, it is that we have uncovered another layer.

Laura wrote: I wanted to send you a quick note to tell you THANK YOU for including the comment to “create a file in your computer”. I am a very private person and sometimes feel that if I write it in my written journal, someone will read it. I believe it prevents me from really letting go. Now, you have empowered me to use my computer! There was a part of me who, before I read your suggestion, thought that typing it might not be as effective. I must say I have started the below in a new Word document and took your approach in just letting whatever bubbles up from my subjective mind!! Thank you again for bringing me the exact words I need to hear. Awesome how Spirit works!

Isn’t it interesting how we can distract ourselves from doing the work our Soul wants to do? “Can’t write it in my journal, someone might find it …. Have to write it out in long hand….” Oh, how well I know this!! I had those same thoughts the first time I did this work, then decided to sit down at my typewriter (remember those!?) because I could type faster than I could write. The first time I found my fingers cramped up terribly – not because of the amount of typing – I am an excellent typist – but because there was a part of me that was resisting. I realized I was afraid to do the work!! I was determined however, and kept breathing into it, and resting my hands, and when the 7 days were over, I was so glad that I persevered!

Tomorrow I am going to share one more process with you. You can also google 'forgiveness' and find many more processes. Find the one that resonates with you, and then DO IT!! Our lives depend on it.

Affirm with me: With every breath, I am getting healthier !! Thank God!

Day 14

It’s a good day to pray – I invite you to take a deep cleansing breath, and read this with feeling. I have written it in the first person to make it easier for each of us to embody.



The Truth of me is birthless, ageless, deathless. I am Spirit in human form. All the attributes I have given to the Source of All, are within me, just as all the components of the ocean are in the individual drops of water.

Today I choose to swim in the consciousness of the I AM. I AM is everything. It is infinitely intelligent and unconditionally loving. It is Life Itself. I consciously breathe this Life into me, and feel It mix with Life within me. Each breath I take is a healing breath. Each thought I think from the I AM is a powerful thought.

I declare I AM health. Every fibre of my being on every level is an expression of Divine Health. All the atoms making up the cells of my body are radiating Divine Life. This radiation moves through me, nurturing me, blessing me, filling me with the conscious awareness that all is well.

I celebrate this Truth with each breath I take today, remembering it is the Divine Breath that is breathing me.

Gratefully I release this word into the Law of Mind, knowing it is already done. And so It is.

Day 5

Day 5

According to a site I found on the Internet –

Emile Coué, the 19th century French professor and Master Hypnotist, became a pioneer of affirmation techniques -- curing hundreds of patients in Europe and North America by teaching his patients to repeat the following affirmation each morning and evening:

"Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better."

Using this affirmation alone, the healing results were nothing less than spectacular.


What if it were that easy!?!? What if one simple affirmation, deeply embedded in our subjective mind, could do the work we’ve been trying to do for so long!!

I believe it is. Most of us, when we are experiencing any type of dis-ease, become a little hypochondriac. Now don’t get upset - keep reading.

I discovered a few years ago when I had a very severe back injury, that every little twinge or spasm immediately sent me into thoughts of “Oh no, it’s getting worse! I’m going to end up crippled.”

It wasn’t until I realized what I was doing, and consciously decided to focus on the times my back didn’t hurt, saying “Thank God I’m getting better” that things turned around for me!

How about you? Honestly evaluate your self-talk today. Are you playing the hypochondriac game that I was – or are you your best cheerleader? We get to choose every moment!

All together now – here’s our cheer:

“Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better!”

Yea God!!

Day 2

Day 2

We've chosen the area we want to work on, and have stated our intention.

Now, please read this phrase out loud:

"With God all things are possible."

Do you truly believe this? How does your body react when you read that phrase out loud in regards to the healing you desire?

Most of us want to believe it, but something stops us from accepting that statement as Truth. Perhaps it is because of our early childhood experiences with religion.

So let's re-define "God." For me, God is a short word meaning the Life force of the Universe. It is the infinitely intelligent Energy that makes up all things. It is in absolutely everything. It is an awesome, magnificent creative process that works through us. It will be what ever we believe It to be. That is Its nature.

Today's Action: Define God for yourself as a healing force in your life.

Example: For the next 59 days therefore, I declare God to be the Great Wholeness of the Universe. As I contemplate that idea, and release my intention to It, I know that all the wisdom I need is within me, all the materials I need are attracted to me, and all the nurturing I need is available to me.

With God all things are possible.
