Connecting Mind & Spirit - Applying A Course in MiraclesMoment of Alignment 25 ~ Let God Love YouHello Friends!
In this Moment of Alignment, I share about the practice of allowing God to love and care for you.
I begin by sharing a personal story where I felt I could use some comfort during a challenge and how I came to recognize that I was the one who was resisting God's Love and care for me. This was a powerful realization and I wanted to share it with you!
In this episode, I refer to ACIM lesson #50; "I am sustained by the Love of God." This is an incredible lesson...

Connecting Mind & Spirit - Applying A Course in MiraclesMoment of Alignment 24 ~ This Need Not BeHello Friends,
In this week's Moment of Alignment, I highlight the power of your mind to either make suffering or welcome healing!
A major part of the ego's agenda is to distract us from recognizing our Spiritual Truth and part of that distraction agenda is for the ego to hide the fact that we are mind - a mind which can choose for or against the ego.
As Course students, we are aiming to create the habit of choosing against the ego by choosing for Spirit instead. This week's Moment of Alignment elaborates...

Connecting Mind & Spirit - Applying A Course in MiraclesMoment of Alignment 23 ~ Trusting that Healing is OccurringHello Friends!
In this week's Moment of Alignment, I share about trusting that healing is occurring.
This is a helpful topic because, as you will learn, healing is done at the unconscious level of our minds and so the effects of healing are not always visible to us. Even though you can't always recognize when healing is occurring, it is comforting to develop a trust in the Holy Spirit that you're on the right path whenever you do choose to forgive.
To help with this topic, I refer to the following Miracle Principles...

Connecting Mind & Spirit - Applying A Course in MiraclesMoment of Alignment 22 ~ True GratitudeHello Friends,
In this week's Moment of Alignment, I would like to highlight True Gratitude.
In our society, we are used to partaking in a contrived form of gratitude where we list the things, people and circumstances in our life which we are grateful for. This type of gratitude is a surface-level form of gratitude and really only highlights that which is in the illusion therefore reinforcing the illusion in your mind.
It is helpful, then, to take things a bit deeper and acknowledge the inherent Oneness which is the foundation of Truth...

To help with this episode, I refer to ACIM lesson 199; "I am not a body. I free." In this lesson, we are reminded that the body is a limit and is not our True Identity. I delve further into this important topic and how we can use a longing for freedom as a reminder of our True State as formless Spirit.

Connecting Mind & Spirit - Applying A Course in MiraclesMoment of Alignment 19 ~ Do You Remember Feeling Joyful?Hello Friends,
Do you remember what joy feels like?
In our physical experience, we are met with the ego at every turn and it requires our vigilance for peace to not follow the ego down every rabbit hole. Throughout our daily life, we experience the intrusive thoughts and deal with the effects of taking those thoughts seriously. Simply put, we can find ourselves hopping from fear thought to fear thought and missing opportunities for joy.
In this week's Moment of Alignment, I highlight the importance of making time to experience joy. I share...

In this physical experience, it can be too easy to forget that we are One in God as the "evidence" of separation seems to be everywhere. Yet, beneath the ego's facade of separation is the inherent Truth - Oneness. To remember our Oneness in God, it is helpful to intentionally let our thinking be led back to this Truth.

In this week's Moment of Alignment, I would like to highlight a subtle way you may be sabotaging yourself. In this episode, I share about the importance of recognizing the words you are using to describe yourself and situations you are experiencing. Your unconscious mind is very sensitive to the words you use and this is something to be aware of.

In this week's Moment of Alignment, I highlight the importance of unconditional forgiveness.
At the level of the world, unconditional forgiveness can seem like a big ask especially with seemingly extreme challenges. Yet, the forgiveness we are guided to do in A Course in Miracles is not based on the world being real, True Forgiveness is based on the world being an illusion. This means that we don't need to try and reconcile the ego (it is insane and unreconcilable!) but that we let our investment in the ego go because it is...

Before answering this question, it is important to recognize that the ego will always seek to make things complex and attempt to cloud your awareness with meaningless distractions. Yet, Spirit simplifies the ego's nonsense and helps us steady our focus so we can focus on healing. The answer to the question of "Where do I begin on my healing journey?" is simpler than you may have thought, and...

Although the teaching I share is simplistic, it's something we don't tend to think about. Throughout His Course, Jesus reminds us that we suffer needlessly and He is also sure to pose the question of "Why delay your happiness?". Such statements are reminders that we don't need to default to ego-mode and that we can choose...

There are a couple of beautiful messages presented in this section of the Course (Chapter 20 in the text), which help remind us of why to choose for peace and how to do so. I hope you enjoy this Moment of Alignment and the empowering reminder we are given through the Course's message of Easter!

True Forgiveness is our purpose here in this world but it is helpful to acknowledge the reality that we are not always ready to forgive. Feeling unready to forgive doesn't mean you aren't willing to seek help from Spirit though! As Course students, we learn too much about the ego that we can't fully go back to it, so we will tend to lean towards wanting a...
