Views from Raven's Nest: Daily Reminder # 517

I continue to enjoy the Healing with the Masters conversations. The most recent one was with Lindsay Wagner - yes, the Bionic woman - who besides being bionic is pretty darn wise and spiritual.

Thought I'd share an exercise she gave. I really like it. Very simple but a really excellent pair of affirmations.

So... you start by putting your right hand by your heart, slightly above your left breast (on the chest where it's a little bit fleshy) as though you were doing the Pledge of Allegiance. Circle up and out (clockwise) lightly with your fingertips while saying the affirmation. (You can also use your left hand on the right side and circle counter-clockwise.)

She said the affirmations 3 times, which seems good to me. The first one is:

I deeply, completely and profoundly accept myself with all my faults, problems and limitations.

And the second goes:

I deeply, completely and profoundly accept myself with all my gifts, my strengths and my ability to love deeply.

I like the balance of these two, first accepting our flaws and then something most of us tend to ignore or have been trained to reject, accepting our virtures.

Some things I'm grateful for today: (Items in red are pre-gratitude, an effort to inspire feelings of generosity in the Creative Forces of the Universe so that they will help me to live a more abundant life and help me to acquire truckloads of money and other good things, which I will both enjoy and share with others.)
