Missing My Riley
Treatment by Caron Ward, RScP
I love the first hour of the day…the sun breaks through the clouds and the sky shows its colors, and there is a quiet anticipation of what is to come. Yet these days there is a bit of sadness that colors my early morning hours for I am missing my Riley and our routine of early morning walks and prayers. So on this morning, I sit quietly in the stillness of the morning and I pray….
The love of G-d is all there is…IT is the constant in Life, in my life, in the lives of everyone, everywhere. This love is magnificent, it is powerful, it moves mountains and crosses oceans…it is infinite – there is no place, no space, where this love is not…This love is eternal, ongoing, it has no beginning nor any ending. This love has no judgement, It’s presence is with and within everyone and everything.
I know that when there is a loss, the emptiness that seems to be left behind is a temporary perception. The love of G-d is never destroyed, and soon the fullness of that love is once again felt wholely and completely. So I sit with these feelings of sadness, I allow them to be, as they represent the meaningfulness of life. I allow the grieving, as it is not simply sadness; no – it too is an expression of Love. I feel the comfort of the eternal Presence with me and I know that the space that I felt left in my life is already overflowing with Love. I am blessed to always know and feel the presence of Love, to feel its eternal energy flowing through me, flowing through all of Life. In this moment, my heart is full of gratitude for the expression of this love as friends, as family, as all who come into my life…
And so it is with this loving gratitude that I begin this day, knowing that these words are true and blessed. I release them into the Law …it is so… And so it is.
Have an amazing day!
Love

Celebrating Sacred Practices
Treatment by Ed Preston, RScP
I celebrate our three sacred spiritual practices: Meditation, Visioning and Treatment, and I add a fourth, moving our feet.
As I become quiet and write these words, I know all of us are writers and readers in this moment. I know all of us find the peace that unites us with God, with the Universe. We come into communion with God. We recognized our presence in the Universe and the presence of God, the One, within ourselves. We unite.
I feel the meditative peace of this moment and know that I am in Communion. I realize that we all are in the flow with the purpose of the Universe, and we are open to receiving our purpose as a Vision of our Mission in this life of manifesting Spirit in Form. I know we have the power to realize that Vision, or Mission, by simply Treating and Moving our Feet. We are ready to do that now, as we feel our Communion with God and know our Mission. I know we now speak our Word in Treatment and are ready to move our feet in action to achiever our Missions in this life.
I am so grateful for the power of Meditation and Visioning and Treatment and Moving Our Feet in this life. They allow us to become One with the threefold nature of the Universe and fully realize our Spirit and Minds and Bodies in this Devine World. I know our gratitude empowers our movement through this life along all our individual paths. I am simply grateful for it ALL.
So, I release these words into the Law, or Mind, of the Universe, knowing it is the Law that operates in each life reading this treatment now. I gratefully let these words flow out knowing they work for All so we live our Missions in Life. I accept that it is so. And so it is. Amen.

One Power Within Us All
Our Oneness with the One
Treatment by Rich Kurasiewicz, RScP
Summer finally made it and we just celebrated Memorial Day, recognizing those who have served or gave their lives in service to our country, as well as those loved ones who have made their transition. Of course, pools opened and BBQ grills were lit up and the school year is almost over for all. Another period of massive change and yet it all remains the same—the One. As we plan our vacations and time off, etc., it is time to reflect on our oneness with the One and that the change is inevitable and good. The Universe is dynamic and it is full of Good for it is the Father’s good pleasure to give us the Kingdom. This means basically to keep up with our spiritual practices to remain connected in our consciousness and in the realization of the Truth that sets us free. And so we pray…..
God is the One Power and the One Presence. God is the Living Spirit Almighty in all, over all, around all and through all as all! God is All-Good—the Creator and the Creation; all Life and everything there is. God is Omnipresent, Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omni-benevolent. And I am that I am! I am One of the Power and the Presence. I and the Father are One—one Spirit, one Mind, One Body! I am created in the spiritual image and likeness of God!
Just as I am perfect, whole and complete, I know that each and everyone is Perfect, Whole, Complete, Eternal and Immortal. I declare that each and everyone embraces Life and the Truth that sets them free. I know that all Life is Good and there is an abundance of Good for each and everyone—it is manifest in the explosion of color, light and flowers and plants! There is more than enough good and abundance to spare and share in the Universe and it is a divine gift for all—peace, love, joy and abundance are readily available. I declare that each and everyone is grateful for all the blessings, gifts and good in their lives and as their gratitude increases what they focus on further increases as they are open to receive!
I am so very grateful for the goodness, light, life, joy, happiness and truth that are ever present and a gift to each and everyone. I am grateful that each and everyone is open to receive and accept the gifts and the Truth that sets them free.
And I release my Word unto the Law where it is already known to the Mind of God. I declare that my Word shall not return unto me void. I give thanks that this is so and so it is!

Thunder
Treatment by Tammi McKinley, RScP
It is a beautiful Spring day and I am enjoying the sounds of Rolling Thunder being back in town. This brings me to a place of gratitude for all there is.
Knowing that there is only one God. That I am one with and inseparable from the divine and that each one of us is that perfect expression of the divine. I now speak my word, that I continue to be aware and mindful of all the gifts that the One expresses as. Be it the rumbling of motorcycles or the sun in the sky. Be it the flowers as they bloom or the sweet breeze in the air. That all is an expression of the divine and is ours to enjoy. This is so. And I give thanks for this knowing. I am grateful for these words which remind me to be aware of all of the gifts I can enjoy.
I release my word into the Law where it is already known in the One Mind. I let it go, I let it be. And I bind it with,
And so it is.

Knowing . . . I Become
Treatment by Rev. Faith Woods, RScP
This day is a container for Spirit to reveal itself in magnificent ways. It contains every bit of Spirit I know, and I have the opportunity to walk through this day with eyes wide open, willing and ready to receive the understandings that are here for me. I am open to witnessing it all. I invite you to fully awaken to all the possibilities in this day with me.
Knowing the infinite presence as love is fully awake, I awake.
Knowing the infinite presence as joy is alive, I become alive.
I breathe into this moment and relax into love and joy.
Knowing the infinite presence as peace is fully present, I become present.
Knowing the infinite presence as abundance shows up, I show up.
I breathe into this moment and relax into peace and abundance.
Knowing the infinite presence is – I know I am.
I breathe into this moment and relax into the sea of infinite possibility expressing through me this moment. I choose to dive into life more fully. I choose to rise and expand my awareness and share it through my expressions today.
As practitioners and ministers, I honor the divine in each expression and bless the unfolding day, inviting love and peace and joy and abundance to show fully in each life and the collective life of each center. May today be a transition point for each individual as he/she begins a fuller expression of Life. May the fuller expression become ‘more than enough’ and be shared and flow out in this world, spreading love and joy and peace and abundance to the farthest reaches of this physical space. Releasing all fear and all constrictions of any kind, I speak of openness and allowing truth to flow from us, and into the minds and hearts that are ready to receive. I speak that, if the door is closed, we find the key. I speak a word that as the light enters the darkness, the doors open wide to receive that which promotes understanding, awareness and love.
I speak that Love does its work today and we open to feel the sway of peace, the beauty of abundance, and that we joyfully step into life – fully present with the Beloved.
These words go to the law, the Law makes this so as I release and let go, and so it is.
