³To give is to receive. ⁴Today we will attempt to offer peace to everyone, and see how quickly peace returns to us. ⁵Light is tranquility, and in that peace is vision given us, and we can see.
So we begin the practice periods with the instruction for today, and say:
²To give and to receive are one in truth.
³I will receive what I am giving now.⁴Then close your eyes, and for five minutes think of what you would hold out to everyone, to have it yours. ⁵You might, for instance, say:
⁶To everyone I offer quietness.
⁷To everyone I offer peace of mind.
⁸To everyone I offer gentleness.Say each one slowly and then pause a while, expecting to receive the gift you gave. ²And it will come to you in the amount in which you gave it. (A Course in Miracles, W-108.7:3–9:2. See also ACIM Lesson 108 Insights.)
In every moment, we have the option to be a healing presence in the world. We heal as we let the Holy Spirit teach us to heal. In any relationship that may disturb us, we can pause, let our mind settle into the quietness within, and offer that quietness to the other in our relationship.
This practice helps heal our mind, whether we are applying it to a relationship close to us or a figure in the dream we may never have met. The oneness of Love unites us with all of Reality. When we extend Love, we acknowledge our oneness. In order to extend Love, we must accept It for ourselves. We experience the blessing as we give the blessing.
