The principles of miracles in A Course in Miracles emphasize that miracles are natural expressions of love.
There is no order of difficulty among miracles.
Each miracle is equally powerful.
Miracles occur naturally when guided by love.
Their true importance lies in their divine source,
Not in the actions themselves.
Miracles are habits that arise involuntarily from a purified mind.
They are available to all of us,
But require readiness and inner purification first.
Principle 7 builds on this foundation by declaring that miracles are everyone's right,
But our mind must first be purified to receive and extend miracles fully.
Prepare for meditation,
Find a comfortable position,
Close your eyes.
Take a few deep,
Slow breaths.
Let all tension melt away.
Remove all expression from your face.
As we bring our attention to the space within our mind,
Notice any thoughts of separation,
Fear,
Or unwellness.
They pass through our mind as clouds in the sky.
Learning that miracles are our right,
Simply by being as we were created.
We are deserving of love.
Say to yourself,
Say in your mind,
I am willing to let go that blocked my awareness of love's presence.
As you take each breath,
Each thought or feeling of resistance dissolves into silence.
If judgments or anxiety persist,
Repeat to yourself,
Purification is simply my willingness to remember love instead of fear.
Rest here for several moments.
Notice the clarity,
The peace that comes as our mind clears.
Nothing else is needed,
Just commitment.
We are in the presence,
The quiet joy,
Where miracles can effortlessly arise.
You are seated beside a crystal clear stream.
The water flows steadily in front of you.
Each troubling thought,
Unworthiness,
Anxiety,
Fear,
Guilt becomes a small leaf resting in your palm.
There may be a few leaves,
Or only one.
When you feel ready,
Place these leaves,
One at a time,
On the surface of the stream.
Watch as the current carries each leaf downstream,
Away from you.
With every leaf released,
Notice a sense of lightness,
Peace,
Expanding within.
Say to yourself,
Repeat after me,
Miracles are my right.
My willingness to let go of all that blocks love opens me to the flow of miracles.
Miracles are my right.
My willingness to let go of all that blocks love opens me to the flow of miracles.
The peaceful sound and movement of the water assures us that purification need not be forced.
It is a natural result of our commitment to release what no longer serves us.
Relax here for a few moments as your mind is cleared.
Pay attention to subtle shifts,
A feeling of warmth,
Quiet joy,
Peace,
As the space for miracles arises naturally.
I am willing to let go of all thoughts that block my awareness of love's presence.
As we prepare to return to our regular state of thoughts,
Feelings,
And actions,
To time and space,
We bring our awareness back to our breath.
Return to feeling your body resting in the present moment.
Notice the sense of clarity and peace you've cultivated during this meditation.
Purification is simply my commitment to remember love instead of fear.
Purification is simply my commitment to remember love instead of fear.
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
