“Transformational nourishment means that our bodies, hearts, minds, and spirits are open and willing to take in the nourishment that’s offered. To do this, we have to believe that we are valuable and worthy to receive.”
— from If the Buddha Came to Dinner

I have committed to the regular, daily practice of paying attention. I realize how essential it is to live with a sense of purpose, focus, love, and passion for my life; and how nourishing myself transforms everything else around me. The awareness of nourishment is my primary practical application and spiritual practice of the principles of Science of Mind.

What I know for sure is that God is everywhere present. There is One Ultimate Reality. That Reality is Pure Goodness – Spirit acting through Law to create all that is Good and real in my life.

Immersed in the Perfect Mind of God, I draw upon Spirit now and allow Spirit’s wisdom to guide my word of Truth for I Know without doubt that I am created in the image and likeness of the Divine and therefore I am whole, perfect and complete. And knowing this to be true for me I know with certainty this is true for you as well.

I claim that everything Good comes to you, that each day brings great joy and happiness; that every morning finds you filled with light and courage; and that every evening brings great peace. I know with certainty that health and success are yours; that love and friendship walk with you and that you are sustained now and forever by the Power of the Universe running in through and around you.

And knowing that my every thought creates my living, breathing reality, I am nourished by the perfect individualization I experience in every person I come into contact with. This nourishment is the Mind of God in action.

My heart is filled to overflowing with gratitude and therefore I release my Word into the Law knowing it cannot come back to me void. IT IS DONE! IT IS COMPLETE! AND SO IT IS!
