How to Bring Immediate Healing to Any Relationship

by Revs. Paul and Deborah Phelps

The following are excerpts from Paul and Deb’s Appreciation Inspiration Method for enhancing your relationships. Paul and Deb will also be facilitating a workshop on July 14-15 at Pathways of Light.

Recently we recorded our insights about our TALKS Appreciation Inspiration Method before a live audience at Pathways of Light. This method helps to bring immediate positive healing effects in any relationship. Appreciation Inspirations can be used to shift any uncomfortable situation or conflict with another person to a place of forgiveness, healing, release, peace and love in a matter of minutes, no matter how long the particular situation existed.

Appreciation Inspirations bring us to a better place of feeling good about ourselves. The more we practice giving Appreciation Inspirations, the better we feel and the better we get at extending them. More joy begins to fill our life experience with others and with ourselves. We begin to feel more connected and in harmony with God.

Note: Listen to a 3 minute sample clip and read more on our Appreciation Inspiration site at http://www.appreciationinspiration.org

Process: We encourage you to take a moment to reflect on Lesson 195, “Love is the way I walk in gratitude.” After you are finished, let someone come to mind, someone who seems to be an enemy, someone whom you may have been in conflict with either presently or in the past. Then begin the following process:

First, set your intention with Holy Spirit.

“Holy Spirit, I am willing to walk my life in gratitude. And I do so now with my brother ________.”

Then begin to write things that you are grateful for about this person for a minimum of 30 minutes. Write each grateful thought that comes to mind on a line. Then think of another, then write that on the next line. Continue this process until you fill the page or until you feel complete. When finished, journal on your experience.

We are reminded of the Truly Helpful prayer on p. 28 of the Course. We’ve changed the words here slightly to affirm for ourselves the idea of adding appreciation into our daily lives.

I am here only to be appreciative.

I am here to appreciate through Him Who sent me.

I do not have to worry about when or what to say because He Who sent me will direct me in appreciation.

I am content to be where He wishes, knowing that those who I am to appreciate will be there before me as He goes there with me.

I will feel appreciated as I let Him teach me to appreciate my brothers.

Through this will we see that to give and to receive are one in truth!

Remember to join thanks and praise, appreciation and gratitude to Him Who helps you accomplish all your goals of forgiveness today. Joy and blessings and good tidings to you today! Do not be afraid that you cannot accomplish this with Him today. Turn this fear over to trust, surrender to Him every fearful thought you have today and let Him take care of your day for you. He has a wonderful lesson plan for you for, He is a wonderful Teacher and Friend indeed.

Remember to trust and surrender and to forgive today. Be at peace, walk in peace, walk in complete trust, walk in complete surrender to peace today. Let every step you make symbolize your choice of stepping into peace in that moment. You may find it helpful to quietly say to yourself, “I am at peace,” as you mindfully make every step today. —From our Reflections on Lesson 279.
