Myth: Heaven is only available after this life.
MAGIC: I accept the state of consciousness known as "heaven," while living here and now. I know that my body and my life are sacred here and now. I honor my body and joyfully declare the presence of the Divine as it joins my life here on Earth. Today, regardless of my circumstance or situation, I choose to experience heaven.
Myth: Disease is a punishment for my sins.
MAGIC: My symptoms, disease, or circumstance are not punishment from God. They guide me to pay greater attention to the life force within me, so it can manifest with greater ease. I move forward in my healing, honoring myself and serving others. I rejoice in the fact that spring always follows winter, and give thanks for the healing that has brought me this realization.
Myth: I must forgive in order to heal.
MAGIC: I am open to forgiveness for myself and for others whenever the timing is right for me. Today, I celebrate the forgiveness that has spontaneously sprung forth in my life, and I honor the healing that has already occurred. For those I have not yet forgiven, I trust that forgiveness will come as my body-mind heals.
Myth: The self or ego is the cause of distress or disease.
MAGIC: I joyfully acknowledge both the inner "self," and the "me" I see in the mirror. I smile as I realize that little of what I thought was "me" is true about myself. I celebrate who and what I am, and who and what I am not. I reclaim my sense of "self," my identity, and renew my passion for healing by saying, "yes" to life.
Myth: The days of prophecy are over; messages from the divine are not available to me.
MAGIC: God communicates with me in many ways. I receive divine messages through my dreams, intuition, and relationships with others. Divine messages may appear as sound, light, images, and emotion. In faith, I receive messages that are broadcast from the Divine. I rejoice in the communications I am given, and celebrate the gifts received through experiences that deviate from my usual patterns and routines.
Myth: Uninhibited expressions of the human body are not a sacred as religious prayer.
MAGIC: I celebrate the union of body and spirit. Through movement, breath, and the compassionate touching of my body, I gain insight into myself. By sanctifying my body, I open the door to healing. I take time out from all my activities, preoccupations, or thoughts, to honor my body and to pray an ancient prayer to my Creators gift to me.
Myth: Silence will heal me.
MAGIC: Nature helps me to heal, whether it is noisy or silent. I may prefer to retreat from noise and activity, or I may choose noise and activity to activate my healing. I am grateful for the many ways in which the power within me uses noise within the stillness, and the stillness within the noise to heal me. I can heal in any environment, because nothing exists outside of nature.
