Iyanla Vanzant Daily Stimu-Mail – I GIVE LOVINGLY AND FREELY TO MYSELF

Iyanla Vanzant is the founder and executive director of Inner Visions International and the Inner Visions Institute for Spiritual Development. She is the author of 13 titles—including five New York Times bestsellers—and the Inner Visions CD Series. Peace from Broken Pieces: How to Get Through What You’re Going Through has been published by SmileyBooks and available here. Iyanla is a Spiritual Technician. She is a Master Teacher. She is a woman of passion, clear vision and purpose, with a wicked sense of humor. Ordinary? Maybe. We think Dr. Maya Angelou's description is much more appropriate. Iyanla is, by many accounts, a Phenomenal Woman!

Giving and receiving are one in truth.
- A Course in Miracles

There is only one mind. The mind of the Creator. Each living being is an idea in Divine Mind. We are not separate, as it seems. We are linked through the mighty power of breath. Since we are one, you cannot give anything away; you can only give to yourself. Whatever you give, whatever you do, you are giving and doing to an expression of the one Mind.  If you give good, you will receive good.  If you do harm, you will feel its effects.  If we understand the concept of Divine Mind, we know there is no such thing as stealing from anyone. You can only take away from yourself. Whether the guilt, shame or fear cause the pain, you will take away from yourself that which you believe you are taking from another. When you give, you receive.  When you receive it is  reflection of what you give.  Since we are all one in Divine Mind, we should make a commitment to always give the best.

Today I will give lovingly and freely to myself.
