Today is an opportunity for mastery.

Greetings! Our theme is Mastery. These last days of the month we work with integrating and embodying mastery. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation and suggestions for your process, and other resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
Every today is an opportunity for mastery. As you speak or meditate upon or write or write about or chant this affirmation, claim it for today and for every today that has passed and every today yet to be. Let yourself be the master you have come here to be. You don’t need to wait for anything. Integrate mastery into every aspect of your life, right now where you are. Today and when tomorrow becomes today, you can provide a space for mastery to express itself.

About Your Process
As you say good-bye to this calendar year, you may also want to say good-bye to all that you have mastered in the past. If you have been a master of struggle and pain and belief in limitation, declare that mastery! As you master your experiences, you move on to other experiences. This is a grand day to re-negotiate your contract with the Universe. Choose your own words, of course, but an example is “I have mastered belief in separation. I contract to live in mastery, recognizing my wholeness and my oneness with all that is.”

I integrate mastery into every aspect of life.

Greetings! Our theme is Mastery. These last days of the month we work with integrating and embodying mastery. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation and suggestions for your process, and other resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
The beauty of mastery is that it exists everywhere! Washing your clothes. Performing your job. Breathing air into your lungs. Living in your conscious awareness. Being right here, right now. Mastery is not something outside yourself. Nor is it something judged by other persons, even though they might eagerly express their opinions. Your journey to / with / for / in mastery is a confidential matter between you and the divine. Indeed, you might find great comfort in community support or discussion with a mentor, yet spiritual mastery does not need an audience.

About Your Process
As I write today’s message to you, I feel a different kind of excitement in my heart and in my finger tips. Perhaps it is because of the many conversations I have had with my friends in Spirit about the coming year. I see so many of my clients and others letting go of enormous stuff from the past. The release opens a space for new consciousness. Many who read the DailyAffirm send messages regularly to tell me of major shifts in your lives. It is a pleasure to hear from you.

Yes to Mastery!

Greetings! Our theme is Mastery. These last days of the month we work with integrating and embodying mastery. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation and suggestions for your process, and other resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
Yes. What you say “yes” to determines how you experience the world. Let this short affirmation prompt you to consider those ideas and things and people to whom/which you say or have said “yes.” Consider what you desire to say “yes” to today. Let each choice lead to mastery. Your choice is mastery. Yes to mastery.

About Your Process
Many folks who are on an intentional spiritual path use the remaining days of December to complete the issues and activities of the whole year. You can blend any of those rituals with the integration of mastery. Remind yourself of the over-arching intention you identified on December 1 — is it different? deeper? clearer? stronger? I often receive email messages from DailyAffirm visitors that say “Today I got it.” Bravo! Yes, in your own way and in your own time, you do get it. Yes to mastery!

I act with purposeful awareness of mastery.

Greetings! Our theme is Mastery. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming mastery. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and other resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
This affirmation is particularly pithy. Each word is worth considering and contemplating. It is important that you not even skip the prepositions in your contemplation because they further define the meaning and relationship. Consider what it means to act with purposeful awareness. What is an act? And what is purpose? And what is awareness? And what is mastery? Your mulling can be swift so that you take action decisively and firmly. Your mulling can be lengthy and thorough so that when you do act you know, without a doubt, that it is purposeful.

About Your Process
This is the final of the seven Acting/Claiming Affirmations. Have you claimed mastery? What are your acts of mastery? What do you want/need to do in order to integrate mastery into your life? What do you want/need to be in order to integrate mastery into your life? Claiming mastery is a life-long opportunity, so you may find that your most important act of this week of exploration is to decide to accept mastery into all aspects of the rest of your life.

About the Next Type of Affirmations
Tomorrow the Integrating/Embodying affirmations begin. Integration is the balanced embodiment of a concept/thing into your life — the being and doing balanced as you proceed along your path. So, beginning tomorrow you have three days to integrate, integrate, integrate. These are also the last days of 2007, so you may also be completing, completing, completing. Try not to confuse the two.

Make this a thoughtful day!

I let every act be an act of mastery.

Greetings! Our theme is Mastery. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming mastery. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and other resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
The power of this affirmation is in the realization that everything is an opportunity to know mastery. It is your human ego that tends to use a measuring stick to evaluate big or small, rich or poor, right or wrong. Spirit is. Mastery is. When you resonate with Spirit, you are conscious of the time and place of your attention. Everything happens in the present moment, even though from time to time, you give your attention to the past to cherish a memory or learn from an experience; and from time to time, you give your attention to the future to create a vision or lay out a desired path. Let every moment open itself to its fullest potential. Show up 100% in mastery of life.

About Your Process
Today as you work with your computer, say to yourself “I let every act be an act of mastery.” As you talk with family or friends or associates, feel deep in your heart, “I let every act be an act of mastery.” As you choose foods and eat them, let your prayerful grace be, “I let every act be an act of mastery.” As you make decisions of all sizes and shapes, hear the words in your inner ears, “I let every act be an act of mastery.” Choosing to do or say nothing can also be an act of mastery.

I draw a circle of mastery to establish my place of truth.

Greetings! Our theme is Mastery. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming mastery. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and other resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
This circle reminds you that you establish your own space with the consciousness and fabric of your choice. Outside your circle resides other consciousness, including the opposite of what you have inside your circle. Choose what you allow in by giving your attention to it. Remember also that you allow into your circle everything that you give your attention to. In some matters you may feel you have no choice, but when you recognize that you choose all your experiences on some level of consciousness, you are empowered. Non-truth manifests as limitations that are only temporary appearances or illusions; that is, they move from your circle when you stop giving them your attention. Give your attention to mastery and freedom and love and wisdom — these are the energies which enrich and expand your circle.

About Your Process
I encourage you to act out this affirmation physically. If you live in a climate where you have white stuff on the ground, you can act this out by drawing a circle around you in the snow with a stick or an umbrella or your mitten-clad hands. If you live near an ocean, you can draw your circle in the sand. Or you can place twigs or other objects on the floor or ground in a circle around you. Feel the power of being inside this circle into which limitation does not penetrate. Give your attention to expanding your circle of mastery outward, upward, downward, and inward. Watch your circle of mastery as it grows, attracting to you more and more experiences of mastery.

• “Say Goodbye to Struggle” encourages us to end the practice of glorifying struggles of life

I manifest all things in association with mastery.

Greetings! Our theme is Mastery. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming mastery. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and other resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
Ah, the perfect affirmation for this day, the day on which so many of God’s children celebrate the birth of the Master Jesus. Merry Christmas! This is also the pefect day to acknowledge and celebrate all great teachers and masters: past, present, future. It is important to acknowledge the consciousness of mastery as you manifest on the physical plane.

About Your Process
It is my intention to write these affirmations in such a way that persons of many religious faiths can relate. I have strongly-held beliefs on many matters, which others need not share in order to benefit from the affirmations or other aspects of my work. Mastery includes being true to yourself. Mastery also includes acceptance of different approaches.

I step out of illusion.
I claim my mastery and my power.

Greetings! Our theme is Mastery. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming mastery. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and other resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
Mastery requires that you step out of illusion. While you are learning how to do this, it is important to recognize that illusion is all around. So, frequently you may step out of one illusion into another. Sometimes you step from a little illusion into a big one; sometimes you step from a big illusion into a bigger one; sometimes you step from a big illusion into a smaller one. Sometimes your process is to master the illusion by living fully in it; sometimes your process is to master the illusion by stepping out of it. Mastery is discerning the difference.

About Your Process
As you look at yourself lovingly today, notice the illusions of your life. Do be gentle with yourself as you notice. This is not an indictment, but an exercise in awareness. You may decide to experiment with different illusions or different facets of a familiar illusion. Play. Laugh. See yourself acting a part. Let yourself also be the producer, director, screenwriter, and camera operator. As you love yourself into awareness, you lift yourself higher and higher along your path of mastery. Feel your power from inside yourself.

I act with mastery in my heart.
I speak with mastery on my lips. I walk with mastery in my feet.

Greetings! Our theme is Mastery. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming mastery. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and other resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
This affirmation helps involve the senses and the physical body in the act of claiming mastery. “Walk your talk” is a popular expression which relates directly to the concepts and realization of mastery. Mastery is not simply an idea waiting to be manifested; it is manifestation. Many people can repeat the words of great wisdom without being touched by the wisdom. Affirm that you want to be in alignment with all aspects of mastery, in all parts of your life, through all acts of your being. You are mastery.

About Your Process
Remember, you can change the words on these affirmations — even the theme! With that reminder in mind, I ask… What do you desire in your heart as you act? What do you desire on your lips as you speak? What do you desire in your feet as you walk? Perhaps mastery. Perhaps something in addition to mastery. Perhaps something instead of mastery. There are many worthy options. It is your choice — make it a good one as you walk through this day, speaking and acting.

Mastery energizes my actions.
I am empowered by the Truth of Spirit.

Greetings! Our theme is Mastery. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming mastery. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and other resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
This is the first day of affirmations that claim your mastery. It is Spirit that powers you, energizes you, empowers you! You may get jazzed by your environment or excited by a thing or idea, but it is Spirit that enlivens you and lets you create. Spirit fills you without depleting you. The moment you feel depleted, you can turn to Spirit to be fed. Over time, you can learn to stay aligned with Spirit so that you do not get depleted. Fill your tank with Spirit, the unlimited source of energy.

About Your Process
Today you might consider what energizes you — coffee? chocolate? the rising sun? sex? a salad for lunch? getting your email? a conversation with Spirit? And consider, also, if that which appears to energize you initially, depletes you later. When you are truly in self-mastery, you are empowered from inside with minimal requirements for outside stimuli. This is not to say that you cannot or do not or should not enjoy those stimuli, only that you are not powered by them, not dependent on them. The opposite is true: Spirit powers those outer things through you, dependent on Spirit.
