I love the combination of centering prayer, journaling, affirmations and visualization.
Let me share how this works for me.
We sit in the silence of centering prayer because we love God.
We come with no expectations.
We say, “Here I am. Do with me what you wish.”
We open to the presence and actions of God within.
We let God pray in us.
I think of it as a reverse prayer.
God prays in us what God knows we need.
Outside of centering prayer, I love to journal.
This is my time to move my thoughts, fears, anxieties, ideas, planning, goals, to paper.
It is very healing.
Journaling helps me to plan my next steps.
What goals does God want me to set.
What has God prayed in me during my centering prayer sits?
How do I determine these goals?
I use my true self barometer.
It does not harm me or others. Often it it moves me out of my comfort zone. That is how I grow. I have an inner peace and calm about it. Lastly, it excites me. If it meets all of these. I move forward on this goal.
I love to write my goals in single sentence statements as if I have achieved them.
I say “I am so happy and grateful now that I __________________.
These are my affirmations.
I read them everyday with powerful and positive emotions.
I believe they have happened.
I visualize and feel what it is like to have achieved them.
I also read my affirmations to God before my centering prayer sits.
I give them to God.
I let them brew with God.
I partner with God on them.
I want to make certain I am not acting from my ego.
I want my actions to be infused with the Spirit within.
Within me are the infinite resources and wisdom of God.
When I become more and more aware of my oneness with God, amazing things will begin to happen!
