Let Healing Be

Let healing be through you this very day. And as you rest in quiet, be prepared to give as you receive, to hold but what you give, and to receive the Word of God to take the place of all the foolish thoughts that ever were imagined. Now we come together to make well all that was sick, and offer blessing where there was attack. Nor will we let this function be forgot as every hour of the day slips by, remembering our purpose with this thought:

When I am healed I am not healed alone. And I would bless my brothers, for I would be healed with them, as they are healed with me. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.137.15)

My practice for today is to “let healing be.” As I go through the day, I can repeat these three words to remind me to open my mind and accept Holy Spirit’s healing thoughts and healing peace. This constant vigilance to be open to Holy Spirit will help me remember to accept peace all through the day. With peace comes a transformed perspective of what I think is happening in the world. My only job is to remember to let healing be.

Today we read in Lesson 136, “If you let your mind… make plans against uncertainties to come, you have again misplaced yourself, and made a bodily identity which will attack the body, for the mind is sick.” Making plans for the future seems to be a persistent temptation. I need to be vigilant for when I am making plans on my own.

In the dream world there does seem to be a future. The key is to place the future in God’s Hands and not try to plan for it on my own. As I remember to step back and follow, I can relax, remembering that God’s Will for me is perfect happiness. He has given me all that I need for this.

My job is to be willing to accept it. When I make plans on my own, I am actually building a barrier against God’s gift of strength and peace and eternal Love. I do not really want these barriers. As I practice stepping back from my plans and accept Holy Spirit’s plan, I let healing be.

Accepting the Unity of Love

The decision to believe that I am in a body in a world of separation with a separate identity is the decision to not know my Self. The effect of this decision is to be fearful because it is the decision to believe I am without Love. Anything I perceive through the body’s senses is inevitably wrong because it is based on the belief of separation.

Today it is my practice to resign as interpreter and to open my mind to the Holy Spirit’s interpretation in every moment. The Holy Spirit knows that in truth, I am eternally complete, invulnerable and wholly loving, as is everyone. With Holy Spirit’s help I will lay down the judgments of separation and accept the unity of Love today.

I accept the unity of Love by following the lead of Love. As I practice, hour by hour, following Holy Spirit’s lead, I am easily led down a quiet path to peace. Love is simple and uncomplicated. As I let the barriers to Love be removed, I see that Love is all.

Accepting Happiness

A Course in Miracles says that God’s Will for all of us is perfect happiness. So if I am experiencing anything other than perfect happiness, I must be denying God’s Will for me. Conflict, lack of peace, problems, all are indications that I am denying God’s Will for me. Since this world is the denial of God’s Will, these symptoms seem to be the norm. Yet what is truly normal for us as God’s Son, is perfect happiness, deep peace and Love without limit.

This is why it is important to be mindful of what I am feeling in each moment. If I am not feeling God’s Will, then I need help in letting go of my denial of It. I need to bring any sense of disturbance to God’s Answer — the Holy Spirit in my mind. If I do this with willingness, I will receive the Holy Spirit’s gentle correction that will show me the truth beyond the disturbing images that I thought were real. This is the Holy Spirit’s use for all situations in the world. In the Holy Spirit’s hands, every moment is an opportunity to release the past and remember the perfect happiness that is always now.

Today I will practice being mindful of what I am feeling and hold my mind open to the Holy Spirit’s reinterpretation, which will help me let go of the past and experience the blessing of now.

Letting Holy Spirit Lead

Today we put Holy Spirit in charge of the dream… We accept Holy Spirit’s grace… We accept Holy Spirit’s peace… We accept Holy Spirit’s blessings…

Today we are willing to practice accepting Holy Spirit’s change of mind and let our thoughts be healed. We will practice letting Holy Spirit lead the way with everything we do today.

To let Holy Spirit lead the way, I need to step back from my interpretations of everything. This clears the way for me to receive Holy Spirit’s interpretation, which is always from the perspective of wholeness, unity and innocence. The part of my mind that believes separation is real also believes that punishment is justified for having “hurt” God.

Problems are a playing out of this perceived need for punishment. As I am willing to accept Holy Spirit’s perception, I see that I have done nothing to change God or His one Son. Harm is impossible. The need to have problems falls away because I see only innocence and remember that I remain innocent as God created me.

With Holy Spirit’s vision, all things, situations and circumstances are used on behalf of awakening to the certainty of Love and the holiness of God’s creation. It is this I would see today.

Accepting Guidance

The focus for today is to accept Holy Spirit’s guidance all through the day. I can only do this when I pay attention to how Holy Spirit is guiding me. Holy Spirit’s guidance is always filled with peace. The level of peace I feel is a great barometer of the level I am accepting Holy Spirit’s guidance. My practice for today is to pay attention to the “peace barometer” and choose ‘peace first.’

I am reminded of the song “Row Your Boat.” It is a reminder to go with the flow of the stream, the flow of Holy Spirit’s plan. As I stay in this flow, I am easily directed in all my doing in the world. The doing becomes a reflection of the gentle flow of the Love that is my Home. I need not effort today but I do need to be vigilant for peace. In peace is how I flow with Holy Spirit’s plan.

In My Defenselessness My Safety Lies

Through practicing applying the Course in my life, my days are increasingly more peaceful and happy. Yet there is a part of my mind that still believes I am disconnected from the Source of everything I need and am.

It is this part that gets wrapped up in making plans for my protection and well being. These plans are meaningless because the Truth in me is perfectly safe and whole. When I get caught up in making plans, my peace is disrupted. I am more prone to defensiveness.

I am grateful that I am becoming less tolerant of this state of mind. When I recognize I am in this place, I ask for help from the Connection within that remembers the Truth about me and All That is. I ask for help to see the Truth, to recognize the false idea for what it is, and let Truth’s blessing clear my mind. This is another day of practice.

Today is a day of letting myself be carried. This is true defenselessness. Today is a day of placing trust in inner Guidance instead of ego defenses. Today is a day of practice, of stepping back and listening to the quiet inner Voice and following as I am guided. And for this practice I give thanks.

Remembering to Be Lighthearted

When I go to the inner place of quiet, I am reminded not to take the world so seriously. I am reminded to remember to laugh. I am reminded to be lighthearted. I am reminded to choose peace instead of conflict.

As I open to Holy Spirit’s peace, all the world’s stories lose their sharp edge. Fear falls away and is replaced with trust. Quiet, gentle inspiration in the now moment replaces efforting. I remember that everyone is safe in the Mind of God. Forgiveness, or letting go of our belief in the dream, is our one goal. The Son truly is one, and this can never change. Nothing real can be threatened.

Letting go of judgment opens the door to lasting peace and happiness. Judgment always blocks awareness of Love’s presence and therefore disturbs my peace. Today I ask the Holy Spirit to help me see as He sees, judge as He judges. The Holy Spirit judges very simply: It’s either real or unreal. What is recognized as unreal is easily laid aside. What is real is God’s Love. There is nothing else.

So with Holy Spirit’s help today, I will see the Love of God everywhere. I will easily recognize behavior of bodies as having no reality and thus is not cause for judgment. This is how I will learn that I am Love’s creation, and remain Love and nothing else. It’s a great day for practice.
