And So It Is- have you noticed I've used a lot of these lately- It is a very simple form or statement of acceptance

A Spiritual Mind Treatment is affirmative prayer. What is affirmative prayer? It is a prayer that declares a spiritual Truth. For example, when Jesus the Christ spoke the Word, his healing statement was declared with great power and conviction. He didn't say, "Oh please, God, let Lazarus be healed." He said, "Lazarus, come forth!" (John 11:43)

A Spiritual Mind Treatment, or affirmative prayer, is "a recognition of Spirit's Omniscience, Omnipotence, and Omnipresence, and a realization of humanity's unity with Spirit..." (Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind textbook, pg. 149)

There are five steps to a spiritual mind treatment.

Step 1: Recognition We begin every Spiritual Mind Treatment with Recognition that there is One Life, and that Life is God.

Step 2: Unification In the Unification step of Spiritual Mind Treatment, we affirm that the same Spirit that God is, we are. We are OF God -- Divine emanations. Since God is all there is, there can be nothing outside of God, and no one separate from God. And so we realize and declare our Oneness as spiritual beings.

Step 3: Realization In Step 3 of Spiritual Mind Treatment, we want to Realize the qualities or attributes of God which we want to embrace within ourselves--to call forth in our own consciousness. These are the Divine qualities inherent within us which we want to become more conscious of.

Step 4: Thanksgiving Step 4 of a Spiritual Mind Treatment is Thanksgiving. An attitude of gratitude is essential to establishing a new intention in our lives. In giving thanks, we are declaring that it is already done. We are grateful for it.

Step 5: Release In Step 5, the Release step of Spiritual Mind Treatment, we let go and let God. We are turning our affirmative declaration of Truth entirely over to Infinite Love, Spirit, the Allness that is God. It is a very important step, because as long as we hold on to it, nothing can take place.
