Right Thinking and Feeling for Health
Lent begins on Feb. 26th this year. Traditionally it is a time of fasting from meat-eating and/or other such food, which is a good idea every day. In Unity, we teach that it is a good time to fast from attitudes that cause illness such as fear, worry, criticism, anger, negative thinking, and self-depreciation. Instead, we teach fasting on love, faith, appreciation, positivity, self-acceptance, peace and joy.
Negative thoughts and feelings cause frustration, unhappiness and illness. Positive thoughts and feelings cause happiness, joy and peace.
It is pretty simple, and a good idea to make good use of the Lenten season to refrain from negatives and focus on the positives. Let this be a time of listening to your self-talk and daily meditating on love, peace and joy. Then allowing these to be your thoughts and feelings. As you do, you are wonderfully alive and healthy! – Lovingly, Rev. John
Those who are wise understand these things; those who are discerning know them. – Hosea 14:9
Right Thinking and Feeling for Prosperity
Lent is a good time, too, to think and feel right and to enjoy abundant prosperity. Fast from thoughts and feelings such as fear, lack, grief, worry, self-depreciation, anger, and believing you are separate from the Source.
Listen to what you are thinking and pay attention to your feelings. Deny or release those that cause scarcity and deprivation. Give your whole attention to thoughts and feelings that bring abundance.
Remember, to experience abundance within is to experience abundance in your life.
Fast on ideas of love, abundance, faith, plenty, unity with the Source, peace and joy. These promote and foster prosperity. As with heath and healing, meditate daily on love, joy, and peace. Allow these prospering energies to be felt deep within. Then you are wonderfully alive and prosperous! – Lovingly, Rev. John
