Whenever my ego overshadows my spirit, it creates hateness in the body. I will witness the sensation of fear by feeling it and then I will take the courageous step to do the very thing I fear.

"H" stands for high self.
Today, I will pray to be new again. This prayer is about releasing confusion. Every day, we must find some way to our spiritual clarity. Recite the prayer below to your own needs by specifically naming what you’re confused about. Is it how to trust? Is it how to be understood and heard by others? Is it the inability to make a choice when more than one direction attracts you? Or do there seem to be no choices at all? Asking for clarity opens a way to everything spirit wants to bring you. Without clarity, you won’t be able to notice or receive its messages. So let’s start.
God in spirit, I’m in a fog today. Give me clarity in mind and heart. Release me from my confusion which is born of the past. Let me see everything as if, for the first time. Shower unknown blessings upon me and surprise me with joy. Let me be renewed in your way. Let me renewed in your ways. Amen.

Live with this question. Move with this question. What do I want? And soon, you’d be moving into the answers. The answers will come to you as situations, as circumstances, events, relationships, insights, and imagination.
JUDGE NOT TODAY
"J" stands for "judge not today". Judgment creates turbulence in our mind. And when there is turbulence in our mind, then it interferes with the creativity of our soul. Creativity and judgment don’t go together. Judgment also means letting go of the need to classify things, non judgment to call them either right or wrong, to label, to define, to describe, to evaluate, to analyze. Let go today. Judge not today. Today, I win on judgment. This affirmation about releasing to be judgmental. Just make this your lesson today: Consider what happens when you judge someone. it makes another person wrong. Someone else is wrong to feel in a certain way, to look a certain way, to hold certain opinions. Judgment immediately creates separation. Any person who’s wrong then becomes them. The need to judge arises from the need to be isolated. This is the ego’s form of defense. But at the same time, you’re pulling away from your true self. The same walls that keep other people away also shut off the flow of spirit. When you learn not to judge, you are basically saying I’m willing to let anything in without deciding first whether it is good or bad. in the practice of openness, you will be inviting your soul to be intimate with you. So, put your attention in your heart right now, and just repeat to yourself: Today, I will judge nothing that occurs. Today, I will judge nothing that occurs. Today, I will judge nothing that occurs. And by letting go of my judgments today, I will experience silence in my mind. By shedding the burden of judgment today, I will experience silence in my mind. And in this silence, I will find the ecstatic impulse which is also the evolutionary impulse of the universe. And I will align myself with the ecstatic evolutionary impulse of the universe by letting go of all my judgments. Today, I will not classify. I will not label. I will not define. I will not describe. I will not evaluate. I will not analyze. Today, I will shed the burden of judgment.

I will allow the words to lead me into a state of meditative peace. I will let the words enter my heart and soothe it with my reassurance. I will remind myself, in my garden the rose opened.

After saying this affirmation, end by sitting still and consciously bringing everyone you know into your awareness. See them coming together in a town square.

Today, I offer my thoughts to the service of spirit. In stillness, I find my true self. Remember, this affirmation is about awareness. As you go about your day, be mindful of your awareness.

Activity comes and goes. But the observer is steady and ever present. As you begin to identify with the observer, you will become less attached to things that change. The unchanging is truly who you are. Repeat to yourself: In stillness, I find my true self. In stillness, I find my true self. In stillness, I find my true self. Today, I offer my thoughts to the service of spirit. I will use my thoughts wisely and respect their power.
NURTURING
"N" stands for nurturing. In the words of Jesus Christ: “Love others as well as you love yourself.” Why? Because the other is our self. Every situation, every circumstance, every event, every relationship is a mirror of what’s going on inside ourselves. So, let us begin to see the world as a mirror. Today’s affirmation is literally to nurture ourselves by nurturing the world. Today, I will nurture the world and all my relationships with attention, affection, appreciation, tenderness, beauty and love. Today, I will pay attention. Attention means I will listen.

OPPOSITION
"O" stands for letting go of opposition. Which is also the love least resistance. Do less and accomplish more. And ultimately, do nothing and accomplish everything. So put your attention in your heart, listen and repeat. When I feel opposition, I will not oppose it in return. Today, I will oppose nothing that occurs. I will resist nothing. In the words of Jesus Christ: “I will resist not evil.” Evil is a projection of our shadows. By embracing our own shadows and bringing the light of awareness to them, and forgiving them, I will diminish the evil in the world. So remember, letting go of opposition is about nonresistance. It’s about the biblical injunction to turn the other cheek. But it makes little sense to your ego. When your ego feels pushed, the eye inside you wants to push back. When it is harmed, it wants to lash out against the attacker. In this way, the cycle of attack and defense never ends. The soul’s approach is not to oppose which means not defending your position or your point of view when the situation defies your expectations. Let the opposition pass, either by waiting or leaving or surrendering to the obstacle. The essence of this strategy is to put an end to struggle and conflict by allowing the spirit to find its own way to the solution. You’re not required to be passive, however. You will only find discovery when you refuse to oppose. In many cases, a solution will appear as if magically, which is a sign that you’re learning to act from the level of your soul. So let’s repeat the affirmation. Today, when I feel opposition, I will not oppose in return. Today, I will oppose nothing that occurs. I will resist nothing. In the words of Jesus Christ: “I will resist not evil.” Today, I will oppose nothing that occurs.
PRESENCE
"P" stands for presence. Today, I will find my soul here and now. This affirmation is about the present moment. Make this your promise for today. Try to be as present as you can and when you become aware that you wandered from the present moment, ask to be brought back. The mind easily slips out of the now. We fantasize about the future. We reminisce about the past. When we feel distressed, we anticipate the pain to come or remember the pain that went before. Each detour takes us out of the present moment. Yet, the here and now is the only meeting place where you will find your soul. So, let’s begin. Today, I will not dwell on the past or the future. I will realize I have no need of either the past or the future when I step fully into the present. Today, I will release all ghost from my past so I may vanquish all else. I will no longer hold on to pain until it becomes anger. Today, I will no longer hold on to pleasure before it becomes an addiction. I will not anticipate pain or pleasure in the future to relieve my anxiety. The present is the home of my being. Past and future are only the dreams of whom I was, of what I might become.

That at present, I need to live the question. I will be aware of the question and very gradually, without even noticing it, I will find myself experiencing the answer. Maybe not today, maybe when I really need the answer.
RELATIONSHIP

Because the experiences is beyond space, time, and causality. By returning to myself, I would set myself free. I will see myself as the seer in the midst of the changing scenery. This seer in the words of the Baba Gita: “Water cannot wet, Wind cannot make it dry, and fire cannot burn.

Through this understanding, I will have a context that will allow me to be free. Today, I will understand that my soul sees every experience through new eyes. Today, I will understand that everyone is doing the best they can from their level of awareness. Today, I will remind myself that the universe exists within me.
