What if there was one practice that could transform every area of your life? What if this practice was so simple you could do it anywhere, anytime, without any special equipment or training?

There is such a practice, and it’s this: consistently placing your faith in Love.

Not just when things are going well. Not just when you feel spiritual. But especially in those moments when your ego is screaming at you to defend, attack, control, or withdraw.

This practice has three simple steps:

First, notice where you’re placing your faith. Are you trusting in your ability to control outcomes? Are you putting your faith in other people’s approval? Are you trusting in your worry to keep you safe? Just notice, without judgment.

Second, ask yourself: “How would Love see this situation?” Not how your ego sees it, not how your fear interprets it, but how Love – the intelligence that created you – would understand what’s happening.

Third, be willing to place your trust in that Love. Even if you don’t understand how it will work. Even if it doesn’t make sense to your logical mind. Even if it means letting go of the outcome you think you want.

I’ve been practicing this for years, and I’m still amazed by what happens when I consistently choose Love over fear.

Relationships heal. Solutions appear. Peace replaces anxiety. Not because I’m trying to make these things happen, but because I’m getting out of the way and letting Love work.

The challenging part isn’t learning this practice – it’s remembering to use it when we need it most. The challenge is making it your automatic response.  When we’re triggered, scared, or upset, our knee-jerk reaction is to try to fix things from our ego’s limited perspective.

But every time we choose Love instead – every time we place our faith in the wisdom that created us rather than in our ability to figure everything out – we’re building our spiritual muscles. We’re proving to ourselves that Love is trustworthy.

This isn’t about becoming perfect or never having difficult emotions. It’s about having a reliable way to return to peace no matter what’s happening around you.

Your spiritual awakening isn’t about collecting more information or having more mystical experiences. It’s about consistently choosing Love over fear in the ordinary moments of your daily life.

In my year-long program, Masterful Living, we follow a path of healing.  It’s an upward trajectory of healing that starts in our mind – letting go of all of the blocks to Love so that we can fully accept all the Love that God has for us.  So that we can unleash our holiness and move towards true healing.  Are you ready to transform your relationship with illness and discover the love that heals? Join us in Masterful Living for a year of profound transformation.

With so many people feeling so anxious, angry and afraid right now, I’ve decided to re-open registration for about a week.  Click here now to learn more about Masterful Living.  You can also book a FREE Exploratory Call with one of the Quantum Counselors who can answer any of your questions because they’ve done the program.

NEW ACIM PODCAST EPISODE:  In this episode, The Fear of Healing, I share that I used to be afraid of healing. I know that sounds backwards, but it’s true—and I suspect many of us carry this hidden fear without even realizing it. In this episode, we dove deep into A Course in Miracles Chapter 7, Section 2, “The Fear of Healing,” and explored why we unconsciously block the very miracles we pray for. We examined the startling difference between traditional forgiveness that leaves us empty and true forgiveness that actually brings relief. I shared how I discovered my own resistance to letting go of grievances (Good Lord, did I have resistance!) and why our minds create elaborate defenses against love. I explored challenging questions: What if being right isn’t worth the cost? What happens when we refuse to see ourselves as victims anymore? This isn’t easy territory to navigate, but it’s where real freedom lives. If you’ve ever wondered why healing feels so elusive despite your best efforts, or if you’re ready to discover what’s really blocking your miracles, this episode will meet you exactly where you are and gently guide you toward the peace that’s already yours.
