Treatment to Stay in the Present
by Marilyn O’Leary, RScP
Divine Loving Spirit that knows no time, that is everlasting, everywhere, all-knowing, all-good, I am reminded that I am in your likeness. I also am always present, even in this time where all I want to do is to think about the past or future, when I used to be with friends or will be again. When I used to have experiences outside of my home or will again. I am reminded that the only place to live, to be, is in the present, and that the present is the fullness of all time. As Louise Hay said, the point of power is in the present. Love is in the present. Beauty is in the present. Kindness and compassion are recognizing and responding to the other in the present. In the present is where we find that we are one, that we mirror the Oneness of Divine Spirit. I affirm that any fear of being in the present is replaced with knowing that the present is the place of peace. The present is found in being, in hearing, in tasting, is feeling, in seeing, in smelling. When I do those things without thinking of anything else, I am in the present. When I hold an orange and feel the smooth skin, smell the unique scent of orange, taste the brightness of an orange, I am in the present. It is here that I find peace, love, joy, oneness, goodness. All I have to do is breathe and know that I am breathing. All of this is true for all people.
I give thanks for the reminder to be in the present, for all of those who are in the present with me, for all I share the love and peace of the present with. I give thanks for the Guidance of Spirit to see the joy in the now.
I release these words to the Universe, and know that as I say them, they are so. And so it is.
