Breathing in love and breathing out fear.

This meditation will help you to see things differently.

To create miracles by shifting your internal perception from fear to love.

So today we just make a simple prayer.

Please help me see this differently.

A mantra that we can use whenever you see something wrong,

Bad,

Awful.

Or maybe you are experiencing discomfort or pain in the body or suffering in the mind,

The heart,

Or any kind of worry or stress.

Use the prayer,

Please help me see this differently.

Humbly asking our minds to be healed.

To be shown the way to love.

So I invite you to put your hand on your heart,

Begin to breathe in and out of your heart.

Feeling the breath there.

Moving through you.

And choosing just one situation that's causing you stress or suffering in some way.

Or something you're judging repeatedly that creates resentment for you or anger.

Just hold it in your heart.

Name it,

Acknowledge it.

And say please God help me see this differently.

And just join with the spirit of love in your heart.

The spirit of God breathing through you.

Join with the energy of love that can hold everything as it is.

And keep saying it again,

Please help me see this differently.

And sometimes something will come to you in a vision or thought or maybe if you start writing in a journal it will appear more clear how you can see this differently.

Sometimes it's just saying the words,

Making the prayer,

The request and letting go and moving on with your day.

So I'd like to give you some helpful hints of additional things you can say or do with these situations that you're challenged by.

And the first is to say God is in everything I see.

Which is lesson 29 in the Course in Miracles.

God is in everything I see.

The light is all that I see.

This situation is being healed.

Or this is healed.

And trust on that higher level that it is already healed.

You don't have to know how or see it,

Just believe.

Believe because you place your faith in the love of God.

Over the fears that you have about this or that.

The love of God is there for you and for everyone.

Believe it is given.

So whatever you're seeing,

Say I forgive you or I forgive this.

Or I forgive myself if that's what's needed.

Say I love you.

Or send your love and blessing versus your fear,

Your worry,

Or your judgment,

Or your anger or attack.

Please God help me see this differently.

Help me trust in your strength that lives within me.

Help me forgive as you forgive.

The Course says,

It is my own attack thoughts that give rise to what I'm seeing and not a reflection of God's love.

My loving thoughts will save me from this perception of the world and give me the peace God intended me to have.

As forgiveness allows love to return to my awareness,

I will see a world of peace,

Safety,

And joy.

I could see peace instead of this.

Please God help me see this differently.

Imagine the light,

The Christ light of love in whatever or whomever you're judging or attacking or worrying about in your mind.

Say the light in you is all that I would see.

Just send your love.

Send blessings.

The situation needs healing,

Not judgment,

Not fear.

Keep breathing in and out of your heart.

Remember love is the only thing that's real.

Feel as includes all.

Your function here is to see with love,

To extend love and light out,

To join with others,

To look past the bodies and the behaviors and the negativity and see who people really are,

See who you really are.

So as you look out on the larger world,

Whatever's happening around you in your community,

In your nation,

In the world that seems troubling,

Disastrous,

Scary,

Again make that prayer,

Please help me see this differently and send forgiveness to the world,

Forgiveness to those who you think are causing the trouble.

They don't need condemnation,

They need love.

You have to look past what you see and see and remember who they really are.

They are child of God,

They are love.

Love is the only reality,

So choose that.

We all are forgetting who we are so we act from fear and simply need to return to love.

So love what you see,

Not like it but hold it in a space of non-judgment.

See it through the loving eyes of God.

God sees everyone and everything as innocent.

It's not real because it's all based in fear,

All the negativity and the behaviors that we see that are unkind.

It's all fear and it's not real.

So see the situations as healed and blessed and say the light has come,

I have forgiven the world.

I see this differently because the light is there now,

God is there.

I can see peace.

Thank you,

Thank you,

Thank you God.
