WHAT IS AFFIRMATIVE PRAYRER OR
SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT?
At the foundation of Science of Mind® is a form of authentic prayer known as Spiritual Mind Treatment. This is a scientific prayer in which the individual affirms the truth of who they are, which is abundance, health, happiness, wholeness. The prayer is scientific because the results can be quantified. We believe that it is "Done unto you, as you believe."
Treatment is different from ordinary prayer. It is not asking God to change, rather, it is a mental treatment to bring your mind to a place where you believe in greater receptivity to your good and you realize that what desire is already yours. The gift has already been given for "It is the Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom."
There are five steps in Spiritual Mind Treatment. Before you pray, however, it is good to come from a place of rest, relaxation or meditation. It is also important establish a specific purpose for your prayer.
STEP ONE: Recognition – “I recognize One, Infinite, Absolute Spirit."
STEP TWO: Unification - "I know that I am One with Spirit."
STEP THREE: Realization – “I affirm my Divine Good and I accept my desires as already so."
STEP FOUR: Gratitude – “I express my genuine gratitude for Life and all of Its gifts.”
STEP FIVE: Release – “I completely release my prayer into the Creative law of mind. I let go and let God do the work!”
Make Spiritual Mind Treatment a part of your daily spiritual practice that might also include meditation, journaling, etc.
