Freedom is certainly something to celebrate, so why not take a moment to celebrate your own freedoms regardless of flags, colors, and political systems? As the quote above states, “Freedom is a condition of your heart.” If you know that, really know that, then you are free no matter the situation in which you currently find yourself. So take a moment now to be inspired by your own depth of freedom and to appreciate the beautiful and courageous soul that you truly are.
Each of us has the ability to radiate the innate love, joy, and divinity that resides in the center of our Being, and in this, we become totally Free.
May this be your Independence Day, your personal Time of Freedom, no matter what the circumstances in which you live.
Emotional Independence
“When you have emotional independence, you want for nothing because you have everything.”
As we celebrate the anniversary of this country’s independence, I want to reflect on the true meaning of Freedom, Patriotism, and Allegiance. According to Webster’s dictionary, independence denotes freedom from the influence or control of others; freedom is defined as the ease of movement and absence of restraint or confinement; patriotism depicts loyalty, and allegiance is devotion to a cause.
Synchronizing with these meanings, may I suggest we embody the following affirmations — and perhaps create some for ourselves individually:
I… accept my unique preciousness, loving myself unconditionally
N…ewness awaits me in every area of my life
D…oubt evaporates as faith surfaces
E…ach day brings promises of spiritual surprises
P…eople in my life are messengers of God
E…very moment is a gift from God
N…ever depend on any person for your well being
D…on’t just spend time – invest it by planting positive seeds
E…njoy your day/week/month/year/life
N…ever say ‘never’ – with God, everything is possible
C…hange your ‘thinking’ – change your Life
E…very demonstration happens in time and on time
D…elays are temporary – be patient
A…lways maintain an attitude of gratitude
Y…our first success comes after your last failure
From the land of our founding fathers, Bless and Honor the gift of Choice.
At this very moment, I am aware of the One presence, the Divine Field of God. I am One with the presence now. It created me, and through and with that power, I create my good in this world. I do not need to struggle. I have all that I desire. Every day I increase my faith. I know that my Source is from this great power and that all is possible.
I claim my Independence from any false beliefs about myself, others, and the world in which I live. My Inner Center of love, peace, and wholeness radiates outward. In my daily reunions with Spirit, I give thanks for all my blessings, large or small. I am gentle and kind to myself, nurturing my spiritual heritage. I take a permanent holiday from negative thinking and light my spiritual fuse with firecracker thoughts. They burst forth, expressing vibrant physical, emotional, and spiritual health; loving relationships; financial freedom; creative expression, and inner contentment.
I pledge allegiance to this day to live with joy, enthusiasm, and passion as Spirit intended me to. How glad and grateful I am to receive the comfort and consolation of these words. The Law of Good forever reacts to this Power that is greater than me when I say, “I let go and let God.” And so it is. And so it shall be.
