Comfort #51 Comfort of being steady
When I began searching for a way to fix my life, what I was looking for was stability.
My very first Meditation Drawing is called “Stable”.
The meditation I wrote to go along with it expresses my idea of being stable.
All I need, I receive by my consistent, steady practice of listening within.
This is how I began.
Since my first experience of listening within and receiving the idea for my first Meditation Drawing, I have made more than one thousand drawings.
This helped me focus on a small space and began to relieve my debilitating panic attacks.
I have also written the uplfiting meditations to go with them.
This practice allowed me to calm down and reestablish my health.
It took all my energy to learn to wait patiently.
I got tired of all the solutions available through my own opinions and those of others.
No other experience gave me what I needed.
From this initial steadying experience and Meditation Drawing, I have been guided to learn many more art and writing skills.
I have been led to hire an instructor to teach me technology so I could create an on-line Inner Peace Living Retreat.
I have gained confidence in learning more ways to share my inspiration and peace.
I recieve a steady flow of ideas for topics to explore in an inspirational way.
I take my tiny steps as directed by the Universe and my inspiration becomes available to all those who will most benefit.
There is an attraction to steadiness and peace.
I am glad it has become a part of my new life.
I am confident in what I express and how I express it.
I invite everyone to increase their inner peace by the steady practice of listening within.

Comfort #50 Comfort of living by Guidance
It is such a comfort to know that Guidance exists from the Infinite.
The Infinite has a much larger view of the resources which are available to us.
The Infinite can create whatever we need and connect us to it.
We must be willing to listen within in order to feel and receive Guidance.
The Guidance always comes with a sense of peace.
I am confident when I receive Guidance that I can take my tiny step.
It will connect me in the best way.
I will be able to complete my project and move on to the next one.
I am always listening for inspiration.
That is what listening within provides for me.
I take my tiny steps of writing and drawing and releasing, and it fulfills its’ work.
Others see it and respond to it and are uplifted.
This is what Guidance means to me.
I am Guided to learn new skills.
I am Guided to expand my outreach.
I am Guided to spend time alone in reflection and meditation.
I am not disturbed by outside influences.
I can receive the inspiration I need and share it flawlessly, in a way to benefit those who are ready to receive it.
We are all connected to what is best for us to receive when we listen for Guidance from within.
The Infinite has no favorites.
We are all precious and loved.
Listening to Guidance takes care of us in the most comforting ways.

Life-Path Story Mazes – #48 I am discovering an Infinite Universe along my life-path.
It is inevitable that our life expands as we observe the abundance and variety in the world.
It starts with observing Nature.
The lives of plants and insects show infinite variation.
We discover so much variation in individuals.
We have physical, emotional, and mental characteristics.
We observe the sun and moon and stars, their presence and motion.
Our part takes place in observation and in action.
As we observe the large and small patterns in Nature, we realize that we are a part of it all.
Our harmonious life comes from the order of the Universe.
We express order and harmony in our body when we treat it well.
We express order and harmony in relationships when we treat each other well.
We express order and harmony in community when we utilize the talents and skills of everyone.
Abundance is not just in observation.
It is in action, also.
Effective action creates well-being for everyone.
That is what manifests an Infinite Universe.
Our good connects with the good in everyone and creates good for everyone.
Unselfishness and generosity are part of the Infinite Universe.
We are always in synchronicity with Infinity.
We are all always in relationship with the Infinite when we express Its unlimited nature.
We lose our fear when we connect with the flow of Infinite ideas.
We realize that everyone has the capacity to make this connection.
Our life is to demonstrate this in a way which inspires others to make the connection also.
Then we transform and uplift the way we live.
We work out from a center of abundance in the most generous way possible.

Comfort #48 Comfort of being an attracting light
The light I receive from the Infinite is an attracting light.
Light always attracts good.
We can expect good to come to us when we listen within for the ideas which come to us from the Infinite.
The ideas which come to us from the Infinite are practical and effective in every aspect of our life.
The Infinite loves us and knows what we need every time and It supplies it.
The Infinite never leaves us without.
When we perform our action and listen within, we receive our direction.
Our tiny step of action connects us to the great resources of the Infinite.
It is always a small step, even though it may feel like a stretch.
When we become accustomed to listening to the Divine and acting in accord with Its direction it saves us so much time and so many resources.
We act in a timely way and connect with the right resources.
We attract what we need through the action of the Infinite on our behalf.
It does not require any special equipment or training, just the willingness to turn aside from all other influences.
We leave the influences of the past and all the negative experiences associated with them.
We even leave the influences of the past and all the good experiences associated with them.
We trust only the attracting light of the Infinite and the resources it brings to us.
Through the ideas which we receive and express, we become an attracting light to all who will most benefit.
From the Infinite, we learn all the ways we can express Its’ light.
We can express light through writing, art, dance, business, construction, whatever inspires us.
The science of the imagination is an attracting light.
Wonderful ideas appear as we move into this infinite dimension.
We attract all the resources we need to develop a good idea when we live with the comfort and confidence that we are an attracting light.
This is the gift we receive from the Universe Who Loves Us.

Pebble of Peace Pathway – Gelli Plate Art #1 –
Peacefully Following Through
Learning to go within helps establish an unfailing practice for finding answers.
Taking the steps as directed from within always fulfills the need.
When I get stuck, I am learning to go within, without fail, to find the next step.
This always gives me a peaceful solution.
Even though requirements may change daily and even hourly, I can always find the peaceful solution I seek by going within.
Since I have received my inspiration from within, it is natural that I should find the ways to share it most effectively from the same Source.
It is a comfort to know that, while I reason my way through all the possibilities, there is still only one really great answer, an answer of peace, from within.
