Tap, Tap, Tapping ... Affirmations, The Way to a Wonderful Life

Joshua Klein took the words from "The Way to a Wonderful Life" July 8, 2012 message and created these affirmations which can also be integrated into EFT tapping:

I AM still  and KNOW, - I AM, One with GOD. I KNOW I AM All LIFE.  I
KNOW All Wisdom, All Love, All Power abides in this Life, which is
flowing freely through My entire being NOW. ... I AM the LIFE, I AM
the INTELLIGENCE, I AM the POWER in all Substance, - in all the cells
of My body; in the cells of the mineral, vegetable and animal matter;
in fire, water and air; in Sun, Moon and Stars.  I AM that in Me and
in them which IS.  Their consciousness is One with My consciousness,
and All is One Consciousness.  Through the One  Consciousness in All,
whatsoever is asked for is Mine - for the asking. ... I Speak IN MY
NAME (I AM). ...  I Speak in the Consciousness of  Oneness with Me.
... Speak in the Consciousness of All Power in and through Me and of
the Intelligence in All... COMMAND what I Desire in the One
Consciousness,   - and the Universe will rush to obey." And So It Is!

"Delay is not Defeat" - Rev. Henry Bates [11-7-2008]

The Spirit of God fills my mind, my heart, and my soul, as I realize within myself that delay is not defeat. "Waiting on the Lord" is simply the process of my consciousness embodying the mental equivalent of that which I desire to experience.


As I experience the good that I seek, in mind, I move ever closer to manifesting that which I choose to experience in the physical. There is no defeat in God, and there is no defeat in me. The good that I seek is mine, and I rest assured that my personal relationship with the Infinite is my God-guarantee that it is mine to accept, to receive, and to enjoy, now.

My heart is filled with gratitude and great love for that which is within me that knows, and knows that it knows, that all is well, everything is working for my good, and I am blessed ... today and always.

And so it is.

"I Am That Too" ... Rev. Henry Bates

No matter where we go, there we are. And in the absolute we know that we are Spirit, Life and Truth. The Spirit lives in us and we live in the Spirit and we know this at the center of our Being as the truth. This spark of the Divine within us is the peace, the love, the joy, the wisdom, the beauty, that will always be within us no matter what we may face in this life or in the afterlife. These things of the Spirit are eternal and we shall possess them for eternity. Yet, only our recognition of this truth will reveal these things to us, in our self, and in others. And so we begin to recognize that the Spirit lives in us, enjoys life through us, protects us, guides us, and directs us to even greater and greater heights of joy and peace and love and beauty and wisdom. We can read in the ancient scriptures that "G-d so loved the world that this spirit of Love became part of all living things" ... we are a part of G-d, not all of G-d, but a precious part of this Divine Love. Let's believe this as the truth for us, for those we love, and for everyone. And in so doing, we shall experience more of this Divine Love in all things that concern us. Love will perfect that which concerns us ... as we recognize the power of Love. Whenever we think we need more beauty, we can know that we are a part of Beauty. Whenever we think we need more joy, we can know that we are a part of Joy. Whenever we think we need more love, we can know I am that too.

And so it is. Amen.

"I Give Peace To All" by Dr. Claudine Whitaker

Taken from Dr. Claudine Whitaker's book, "God IS in This Place" ...

The world's confusion and fear cannot penetrate to the center of my being where the Divine Presence abides. As there are depths in the ocean which storms never reach, so there is a Peace deep within me which is never disturbed by the tumult of the outer world. I turn my attention to this sanctuary of Peace. Here I am alone with God. I lay aside my fears and tensions. I say to my restless thoughts and turbulent emotions, "Hush, be still."

In this quiet I listen to what the Inner Voice would say to me. I am conscious of the healing Peace that is filling my whole being. Anxiety, weariness and discouragement are washed away. All sense of burden is lifted from me. This Divine Presence, which is the source of all and permeates all, has my loved ones in Its keeping and is in charge of my affairs. I carry God's peace with me to the day's activities and give peace to all whom I meet today.
And so it is.
Amen.

Making the Best, Better by Rev. Henry Bates

I know that the Spirit makes the best, better. As I recognize G-d, Infinite Spirit, I know that my mind is recognizing something so infinite that my mind cannot fathom It fully, yet, the Spirit is more personal to me than even the sound of my voice. It is beyond me, within me, pressing against me, closer to me than breathing. G-d is Power, Intelligence and Present at every point throughout this vast Universe. It is right where I am, and where I am going. Always available, always responsive, and absolutely loves me. I know that I am a part of this infinite Presence, this Intelligence, and this Power. I am Its creation and Its incarnation, for It has imparted a measure of Itself within me. I know that all the peace, all the joy, all the happiness, all the beauty, all the health and harmony that is within me, is G-d. Being part of Its infinity, I too, am spirit, life and intelligence.

Knowing that I am here to express more of the Spirit, more of the Good, that is G-d, I am consciously aware that my desires are G-d's desire to express Itself through me. In this awareness, I open my mind to an expansion of the good that I possess and let my mind be filled with more and more good; success, healthy relationships, physical and mental health, emotional stability, and a great passion for life. I accept more good, more abundance, more joy, more love, more money and more of every good thing that appeals to me as Spirit flows through me to make the best, better. I know that I can claim the abundance that is mine, and I claim it now.

I declare that my word is G-d's Word for me ... and I speak my word with clarity as I definitely choose to accept and experience the abundant life now. I am affluent in the Spirit, generously provided for, cared for, and secure in knowing that G-d is my Source, my life, and my joy.

As I release these words, gratitude fills my heart, my mind and my soul for I know that all that comes to me is good and very good ... for all is G-d, making the best, better.
And so it is.
Amen.

Keep the faith!

Treatment for Retirement by K.T.

I am relaxed and calm. My mind is at rest and it is quiet and still. I take deep breaths and I am at peace.

There is one life and that life is God. God is joy and expression. God is life and fulfillment. That life is my life now. I am part of the expression and joy of life. Spirit is circulating through my life and body. I am one with the universal power.

I know and accept that retirement is just the beginning for me. I accept that my life is full of excitement, joy, and sparkle when I retire. I have wonderful things to do and the freedom I have in my life is fantastic. Any fear that I have regarding retirement are banished from my mind and replaced with thoughts of excitement. I am productive, creative, and dynamic in my retirement. I am self-motivated. I have experiences that are positive and wonderful. Money flows into my life when I am retired. Any fears that I have regarding not having enough money when I retire are replaced with thoughts of abundance. I am prosperous and abundant and have more money than I ever expected when I am retired. Money flows into my life in expected and unexpected ways. I travel when I am retired and have the money and time now to experience this. Joy is flowing through my life and I wonder why I didn’t retire before.

I thank God/Spirit/Universe for my retirement and for being able to experience the joys of retirement. I release this into the universe and trust in God to take me to higher, vigorous, and joyful days.

Renewal

Today, as I recognize the Power and Presence of the Infinite surrounding me, pressing against me, and flowing through me, I renew my decision to express that part of the Infinite Spirit that dwells within me. I choose peace this day and am at peace with all things that concern me. Today, I choose health and know that the Principle of Health is always the true nature of my physical and mental being. I am choosing love and cooperation as I let the Spirit of unity and love be expressed through each and every contact I make today. Today, I choose prosperity and freedom, knowing that all things necessary for me to do the thing that is mine to do, to have, or to be, is mine now. I am a part of this great Power and Presence that permeates the Universe and I never lose sight of this in my mind. And I know that all the power that I need is already given to me to use to make all things marvelous and wonderful in my life, now. And so it is.

Keep the faith!

Perfect Union With Spirit

In this moment I am recognizing the only One there Is, G-d, Infinite Spirit. In the nature of Jesus I declare that I am One with the One. It is expressing Itself through me, as me, and for me to the level of my willingness to "let It." Right now, in this moment, I let It expess Itself through me as health, as happiness, as peace and as joy. I exalt this Presence in my mind, knowing that It is the very life of me. It is my every-thing ... my power, my confidence, my strength and my intelligence. In quiet confidence, I let It move through my mind to guide me and to direct me to that which is for my highest and greatest Good. I surrender to It and dismiss the ramblings of my ego-mind that denies this Perfect Union with Spirit. I know that my blessings, my help, and my Good is always present, for G-d, Infinite Spirit is always pressing against me, surrounding me and dwelling within me as all things Good. I accept this as the truth for me now and for everyone, for I know that no one is left outside of the kingdom of G-d. I am blessed with gratitude and love for the awareness of this Perfect Union with Spirit. I know it is so ... and I let it be so, now.
And so it is!

Keep the faith!

A Bright New Beginning

Credit to Dr. Frank Richelieu, "The Art Of Being Yourself" -

Say to yourself:
"In Spirit I live and move and have my being. Wherever I am, it is. Whatever it is, I am. Whenever I call upon it, it responds. I have but to align my consciousness to its infinite flow.
Today, I claim the consciousness that is mine. Today, I claim the joy that is mine. Today, I claim the peace that is mine. Today, I claim the harmony that is mine."

Claim these things. They are here for you. When you accept them, you are not taking from another. You are not diminishing the supply.

Spirit-filled Life

My mind is open and receptive to experiencing the Presence of Spirit in all that I do and in all things that concern me. I know that my spirit of confidence and self assurance is anchored by my trust and faith in Divine Guidance. I accept and identify with the Living Spirit within me and this acceptance empowers me to make the right decisions and choices that move me forward in an ever greater experience of prosperity, joy and success. I know that the Divine Plan for me today is to experience more of God, the Good ... and I am open and receptive to God's willingness to work with me, as me, and through me, so my mind is open to new ideas and a renewal of enthusiasm and expectancy of prosperity and success unfolding in my life now. I accept all the Good that is mine and in gratitude for this Good, I give of this Good generously with the conviction that the more I give the more I receive. I do not set any limits in my mind on the measure of Good that I accept for me and for all others as I witness the marvelous results of living a Spirit-filled life, now. And so it is.

How Can I Serve?

In this sacred moment I feel that eternal connection with God, Infinite Spirit. I know and I know that I know, that Spirit is my power and my life. I know that today I am to serve the Greater Good and I am willing to act on this truth. Realizing within my mind that all that I need to know, I can know, I ask Spirit, "how can I serve?"... and as I listen to that "still small voice within" I know that the answer is revealed to me. I am blessed to know that there is a way for me to release the gifts within me ... the gifts of God contained in my consciousness. My skills and abilities contain the highest of potential for they are of God. I know that the world needs my gifts and I give of them graciously and generously. And in my understanding of that which I am seeking, is seeking me ... I find my right and perfect place, right and perfect way, to express the imprisoned splendor from within. I accept this as so, I let it be so ... and so it is.

Keep the faith!

Spiritual Sensation

I know that as I affirm that the attributes of God; peace, love, joy, harmony, wisdom, happiness ... are within me, I am affirming that God and I are One. Whatever it is that I desire to do, God desires it for me. Whenever I begin, God begins with me ... to bring forth the highest and the greatest Good that I can imagine for myself. I know that as within, so without ... and so I begin to use my Divine Imagination to embody the Good that I desire to experience. In quiet confidence, I see myself as I choose to be ... and I see myself having that which I choose to have. As I live in this image of my life that I have chosen, I feel a spiritual sensation flow through my mind and heart as I accept that which is mine. I know who I am and I know what I am about ... and as I maintain this image of myself, I am never without that which brings a greater happiness and joy into my heart. I know that God works for me, through me ... and so I am definite in that which I choose to experience ... knowing that the Law of Life supports me always. Knowing that my Good is right now ... I rejoice and give thanks that it is so. And so it is.

Keep the faith!

All Is Good, Right Here Where I Am

I rejoice and give thanks for knowing and believing that there is only One Life, this Life Is God and this Life is my Life now. God is personal to me and I am personal to God. And in this understanding and awareness, I can know that I am expressing the Life of God as me, for me and through me. It is with great joy and happiness that I live in this realization now and always for I know that Spirit moves through my mind to seek a fuller and more joyous expression of Itself in all things that concern me. I am never disturbed by any momentary lapses of thought that appear to separate me from the Divine Life, for I am here to do and to be a unique expression of Life's Infinite individualization. My thoughts and ideas are always for the highest and the greatest Good for me and for all others to express the spark of the Divine within us. I know that for every thought about anyone that enters my mind, I know for them and for me, that all is Good and very Good. God-in-the-midst-of-me is the Power in my world ... and besides this Power there is none other to obstruct Its Perfect work in my life, now. I love and approve of myself and I love and approve of all others for I know that the life of everyone ... is God. And so it is.

Keep the faith!

Daily Prayer

From Dr. Joseph Murphy:
"I know that no matter what negative beliefs I held yesterday, my prayer or affirmation of truth will rise triumphantly over it today.
Today is God's day; it is a glorious day for me. I am full of peace, harmony, and joy. My faith is in the goodness of God, in the guidance of God, and in the love of God. I am absolutely convinced that my deeper mind receives the impress of my present thoughts now, and I am irresistably attracting into my experience all the good things my heart desires. I now place all my reliance, faith, and trust in the power and wisdom of God within me; I am at peace.
I hear the invitation of the God-Presence within me saying, "come unto me, all ye that labor ... and I will give you rest" ... I rest in God; all is well.

Keep the faith!
Rev. Bates

I Recognize God, and God Responds

I relax mentally and physically. I free my mind of any sense of strain or hurry. I recognize that there is One Supreme Power which is Spirit, Life and Infinite Intelligence. I know that my word is the presence, the power and the activity of the Supreme Law of Life now operating through me. I recognize that I am One with, and a definite part of, this Perfect Life, this Supreme Intelligence, and this Infinite Harmony. I recognize that the Truth about me and my success and prosperity is already established in pure Spirit. I declare that this word is the Law of Spirit establishing harmony and right adjustment in my life. Success and prosperity are the Law of my life now. I am governed by pure Intelligence and inspired by Divine Wisdom. I am guided into right action and I am compelled to make right decisions. I am surrounded by friendship, love and beauty. I am filled with enthusiasm, joy, and abundant vitality. Every organ, action and function of my physical being represents the Divine Life manifesting through me. I am filled with the awareness and Truth that there is but One Mind which governs everything intelligently. This Mind is the Mind of God, and this Mind rules my life through me. It is perfect, indestructible and divine. As I affirm my success, excellent health, happiness, prosperity and joy ... this Intelligence responds to me ... working through my consciousness to manifest ... to actualize ... to demonstrate the All-Good in my life now.
And so it is!

Keep the faith!

Affirming the Good

In this work I teach affirmative prayer and I personally practice affirmative prayer every day for myself and others.

I know and affirm that the Truth of every illness is that there is perfect health waiting to be revealed. I know and affirm that instead of financial lack, there is an abundance that will flow into our lives as we accept a greater measure of it. I know and affirm that beyond the appearance of loneliness there is loving companionship waiting for us to attract it into our lives through faith and prayer. "It is the Father's Good pleasure to give ..." ... let's make it our good pleasure to accept our Good!

Keep the faith!

Prayer for Overcoming Worry

This is from the great Dr. Joseph Murphy:
* * *
Every morning when I awaken, I turn to God
in prayer and know that God is my loving Father. I relax
my body; then I have a dialogue with God, which is my Higher Self.
I become as a little child, trusting the God-Presence completely and
I know that God is healing me now.
I affirm lovingly: "Thank you, Father, for this wonderful day. It is
God's day; it is filled with joy, peace, happiness, and success for me.
I look forward with a happy expectancy to this day. The wisdom and
inspiration of God governs me during the entire day. God is my partner;
everything I do will turn out in a wonderful way. I believe that God is
guiding me, and His love fills my soul.
I claim boldly: I am full of confidence in the goodness of God. I know
that He watches over me at all times. I let go; I am poised, serene, and
calm. I know that it is God in action in all phases of my life, and Divine
law and order reign supreme.

A treatment for relationships

The following treatment was written by one of my Palm Springs SOM-2 students, George E. (I requested that he write a treatment for relationships.)
-----
Directing my consciousness into the presence of the Presence, I sit for a moment and am still. I center my awareness on recognizing Universal Mind, Infinite Spirit, God the Good, as the all Intelligent, all Present, all Power within and around me, ever available and constant, beyond time and space and any consideration of limitation.
To know the All Good that is Universal Mind, I have but to consciously accept It, and so recognize It as here now with me and within me, and It is revealed in my mind and my affairs.
The Absolute Truth is that this Presence of the Infinite Spirit, is my spirit. This Intelligence is my intelligence. This Power is my power. I am in total and complete Unity with It on every level of my life and being – my mind and thoughts, my emotions and feelings, my actions and reactions - all are this Universal Mind thinking, feeling, and expressing Itself through me, as me, being ME.
Accordingly, I now realize and know with total confidence and conviction that the ideal love relationship I desire is here now for me. I realize this relationship of love, caring and mutual sharing on every level between me and my ideal partner is already existing within the Mind of Infinite Spirit because it is now existing within my own mind. Being in Unity with Mind, what is in my mind is in Universal Mind and is taken up by It as Its own and must be out-pictured in my life. I have but to accept and identify with my inner vision with firm inner conviction for this perfect relationship to manifest here and now.
There is no need for stress or strain, only calm affirmation that my Good, expressed as this loving relationship is mine now. It feels so wonderful to know and to know with certainty that Infinite Mind is working within and through me now to more greatly express Itself as me having my desire fulfilled.
With gratitude and thanksgiving I give my thoughts and vision for this relationship over to Mind and release it for manifestation with faith and conviction.

And so it is, And so it is – Amen.

Keep the faith!
Rev. Bates
