Six Phase Meditation
Your True Worth. A Meditation by John Randolph Price
A Meditation
I came into this world with a very specific purpose.
I came to fulfill a mission.
I came to love life and realize the truth about me.
I came to contribute to the salvation of this world.
I am part of God and the fullness of the
Godhead dwells in me.
In the Mind of God, no one, or no thing
is useless or meaningless.
Everyone and everything is of critical importance
to the balance and order of the universe.
Without me, God would not be complete.
Without me, the universe would lose
its equilibrium.
All that is before me to,
I do with happy enthusiasm.
For nothing is too insignificant.
And never again will there be a sense
of futility in my life.
I am overflowing with gratitude to the Father for
the opportunity to be in physical form at this time.
I am so thankful to be right where I am, right now,
serving all who come my way with love,
joy, understanding, and forgiveness.
Recognizing my true worth,
I now go forth with uplifted vision.
I see with the inner eye the loving and
prospering activity of the Christ within.
I see with my physical eyes
lavish abundance everywhere.
I am peaceful, powerful, and poised,
for I know who I am.

Spirit is whispering. Are you listening?
Spirit is whispering. It does it always!
There is so much power in the silence, and still we are sometimes so afraid to experience it fully.
I have always cherished the solitude and the wisdom you can tap into as you quiet your mind, or at least lower the intensity of your mental chatter.
Are you taking time daily to tune into the sounds of the silence, and commune with your Higher Power and inner wisdom?
I do need this reminder so often. It is so easy to get caught up on the rush of life, and to forget our way back to that sacred place where we can truly embrace our own magnificence, and replenish and renew our spirits. I am delighted when I can remember where this sacred place is. Not a physical or tangible place, but one that you can create wherever you go because it flourishes from the depths of your heart and soul, and through a sincere intent and desire.
Remember…
Spirit’s whispering, and all you have to do is stop and listen!
Dr Wayne Dyer and The Art of Imagination
Be Willing to Dream
Choosing a life of greatness. ~ Dr Wayne Dyer
Powerful thoughts of Dr. Wayne Dyer and the Art of Imagination
My favorite definition of success, which I’ve cited on numerous occasions, was offered by Henry David Thoreau in the mid-19th century at Walden Pond: “If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” I’ve italicized two words in Thoreau’s definition of success—dreams and imagined.
What Thoreau is saying is so important to you today. Be willing to dream, and imagine yourself becoming all that you wish to be. If you live from those imaginings, the universe will align with you in bringing all that you wish for—and even more than you imagined when you were living at an ordinary level of consciousness, or what Thoreau calls “common hours.” Keep in mind the basic axiom—all that now exists was once imagined. It follows then that what you want to exist for you in the future must now be imagined.
You’ll see as you read through these foundations for fulfilling your wishes that using your imagination involves more intensity on your part than just imagining an occasional wishful thought. You must first unlearn some of the ways that you’ve been misusing or squandering the capacity your imagination has for providing you with an unlimited ability to manifest all that you desire. Thoreau called it advancing confidently in the direction of your own dreams. Unfortunately, most of us have learned to do the opposite with our imagination, and instead regularly use it to develop mental habits of advancing in precisely the reverse direction of our highest dreams for ourselves.
In my book Wishes Fulfilled: Mastering the Art of Manifesting, I also address in depth how to utilize the I ams and live from your I am God awareness, beginning with your imagination. Recall that I am God doesn’t refer to your body in any way. It refers to the birthless, deathless, changeless spirit that remains in all the changing forms your body takes every moment of your temporary life here on Earth.
It is important that you recognize a few of the imagination missteps that will block you from fulfilling your unique desires. Remember that your imagination is yours and yours alone. You have the inborn capacity to use it in any way that you choose. No one else is responsible for your imagination. Anything placed in your imagination and held there ultimately becomes your reality.

Mindfulness: Becoming Fully Alive in Each Moment
I’ve always said that my children are the best teachers I have in this lifetime. They’ve also taught me about the Art of Mindfulness. The lesson came from my two year old son, Miguelangel, born with Down syndrome.
Perhaps, one of the biggest developmental challenges we’ve faced is speech delay. The challenge has turned into a blessing. Learning to communicate in a powerful and meaningful way without the use of the written or spoken words is a delight.
I must confess that it’s been difficult to adjust to his demands. He truly knows what is like to be fully present. Me on the other hand tend to let my mind go adrift often.
During the past weeks I have been immersed in the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh in the book, The Art of Power. He stresses the importance of expressing our love through mindfulness. I’ve found this practice to be freeing. As I focus on one and only one task or experience at a given time, I make better use of my time and energy. I’m more productive in my business. I feel fulfilled knowing that I’m giving the best of myself to my son right in this moment. I also express my love to him not only with words but connecting at all levels.
Thich Nhat Hanh teachings have been a remarkable source of inspiration to me. I hope that these thoughts inspire you to master the art of mindfulness as well. Here are some highlights about his perspective on love and mindfulness.
- To love means being there for your beloved, recognizing his presence as important
- To be there for him, you have to be there for yourself first
- The practice of mindfulness will help you get deeply in touch with yourself
- Mindful breathing takes you back to the joy, the beauty, the wonders of life, in and around you
- Being in the here and now helps you recognize and transform your suffering
- Developing self-understanding and self-love provides the foundation for understanding and loving another person
- Through the practice of mindful breathing, you bring your mind back to your body, you establish yourself in the here and now, you are fully present, and you can go to your loved one and say the first declaration of love, “Darling, you know, I’m here for you.”
- Only with practice you produce your true presence
- Mindfulness helps us know what is going on in our beloved
Here is the challenge for you, go to your beloved, your partner, a sibling, your child, and express your love in a different way. Hold his or her hands and look into their eyes, and just allow the love to flow through you. Be aware of both, theirs and your own presence in the room. Enjoy the tactile experience of your hands and hearts coming together in a divine embrace, and then say to your beloved, “Darling, you know, I’m here for you.”
Me, Myself and My Guru
Me, Myself and My Guru
While I was working on my new program, Ignite the Fire of Creation Within, the title of this article came to my mind. I attributed the definitions below, arbitrarily. There is no science behind it and I am not referring to a teaching or principle previously stated by other teachers, mentors or gurus, or at least, not that I know of. Any similarity with other teachings may be explained by the existence of the universal consciousness.
“Me” refers to the conscious mind and ego
“Myself,” to the divine, perfect being each of us is in essence, and
“My Guru” refers to the wise master that lives within each of us
Release “Me” 
Embrace “Myself”
Trust “My Guru”
Releasing “Me”
When one addresses life from the conscious mind, one’s possibilities are limited to those known by the logical mind, preventing you from allowing the unexpected to manifest in your life.
Release “Me” to tap into your divine self and inner wisdom and to unlock your unlimited potential.
Embracing “Myself”
Once the ego self is released, embracing the divine within becomes natural. You’ll know you have embraced “Myself,” when a deep and clear sense of unconditional love, security and expansion is predominant in your life, freeing you from fear and resurfacing as your authentic, loving self.
You let go and let God, because you have the certainty that every experience you manifest is on God’s schedule and for a highest purpose.
Trusting “My Guru”
Since ancient times, individuals have pursued spirituality and enlightenment. Today, in an attempt to unveil the answers to philosophical and existentialist questions, men still look for visionaries, sages and/ or spiritual gurus. However, deep inside one’s soul exists every answer to the most intricate questions of mankind.
Once you reach the wisdom within, you will have found the until now, elusive “My Guru.”
