Your new life begins with a new thought.
Practical Prayer
A Practical Prayer is a prayer that WORKS! The formula was first described by Ernest Holmes as Spiritual Mind Treatment. It's now been refined to a specific series of steps that allow you to create new, sweeter, and richer experiences in all areas of life.

You Are Perfect, Now
Our culture has ideas of right and wrong, of good and bad, and other judgments. There are shared ideas of beauty, of prosperity, of ethics and values, and so forth. These are all real and they are quite superficial. The Truth we are uncovering is the realization that everything is part of a single creation. Everything is God. Everything is Love. And everything is perfect, just as it is.
The changes we are creating through this prayer work are not to take something “bad” and make it “good”; our work, instead, is to accept the good that is already at hand, accept that it is already part of the Infinite One, and to create a new experience which fits more harmoniously with our desires. Some people like chocolate and others like vanilla. This process is about putting each together with their favored flavor.
God Calls
God Calls are your reminder that the Bright Light of God's Love is shining right now - as YOU! It's a simple way to pause in your daily activity for a gentle and uplifting moment of Truth.
The Calls go out every couple of days - between 8:15am and 6pm. You can listen live, or play them back from your voicemail. It's not a conversation, and you needn't respond in any way. Just listen, and let the Love wash over you.
Try it free for two weeks, or give God Calls as a gift.
