Be Happy, Healthy and Fulfilled!

by Kay Nuyens; MA, CCH

We are powerful beings. Life responds to us as we respond to it. The greatest sages and saints had no greater minds than us, but they knew how to use them. Most of us produce a life of only a fraction of what we want. Yet, God does not limit us. It is our own mind which determines our experiences. Our thinking and feeling nature is the cause of this experience. This means that our future is really self-determined.

There is a wonderful book called Treat Yourself to Life by Raymond Charles Parker. He shares the practice of treatments, scientific prayer. He defines it as using your conscious mind to select what you want, and next directing your subconscious mind to bring this into objective experience. We have a power within us, which is our birthright, waiting to be released into creative action. The subconscious mind is a part of the mind of God. It will bring us all that we desire if we know how to ask, how to program it.

Raymond explains that in prayer we might ask for ideas. In meditation we absorb ideas. During a treatment, we synchronize our mind with the Universal mind and we project ideas. It is a directive action of the subconscious mind. I believe that a treatment is synonymous with prayer, but it describes a mental action taking place.

I love the analogy of a faucet given by Raymond Barker. "If you go to the faucet in your kitchen and turn it on, the water comes out. It doesn't come out until you turn it on; but its sole purpose is to come out, because water flows under a law of gravity. When you turn it off, it stops coming out, because a law makes it act that way." He describes a treatment as the mental process wherein you turn on the faucets of your mind and let the power flow through. We don't have to plead with God, just turn in thought and let God do it. When life is not flowing for us, we have a blockage. We have shut ourselves off from receiving because of our fear and negativity.

One of my favorite mentors is Mary Manin Morrissey from the Living Enrichment Center in Portland, Oregon. She has created and sells a God Can on her web site. Whenever something comes up in my life that I may be concerned about, I simply write it on a piece of paper and insert it into my God Can. I know that what we consciously think, the subconscious produces. I don't want my whining and fear to get in the way of my greater good. It is very freeing to realize that I have turned it over to God and no longer have to waste my own energy on it. Worry only hampers us, limits us and creates illness. The God Can works!!!

I believe that the reason that we are not what we want is because of something within us. We cannot blame conditions on things outside of ourselves. The failure is rooted in our subconscious. We can ask to erase those obstructions affirming that the power within us knows what to do and how to do it. Our spiritual nature does not see us as limited! When we give ourselves a treatment, we are giving our subconscious a command, a spiritual idea accepted by the conscious mind and carried out by the subconscious mind.

I encourage you to develop a friendship with your subconscious mind. Give it a name. Years ago, during meditation, I was given the name Crystal Clear Kay for my subconscious mind. I could not have picked a better name at the conscious level! I love directing my subconscious mind to create inner changes. We can treat ourselves to a greater life. I caution you that our human mind may disagree with spiritual ideas. We have to ask it to be still and cancel thoughts of limitation, maintaining a deliberate, positive attitude.

I share with you an example of combined treatments from the book:

In God, the one mind, I live, move and have my being. Good alone is present at this instant, and God always knows what to do and how to do it. There is only the intelligent action of a perfect God. The kingdom of heaven is NOW. The past cannot limit me, the present cannot confuse me, and the future cannot cause me to fear. God in me, acting through me, is my guarantee of success and prosperity. I move forward into my expanded good, divinely directed to successful accomplishment. I delete and destroy any pattern of worry out of my consciousness knowing that the mind of God is in action in me and through me. I claim my joy on earth. This joy in me is a spiritual power. I now release it. Nothing in me blocks it. I walk forward in joy, peace, gladness, love, abundance and health, forever and forever in the eternal recurring now.

I invite each of you to write your own treatment and encourage you to TREAT YOURSELF TO LIFE.
