Affirmation Center

“Need an answer to something? Come to our affirmation center and live in the now.”

— William Vincent Carleton

A quiet place for peace, for answers, for whatever you need today. Free, always. Imagine the scene already finished, and rest inside it: I AM is already here.

This center offers words of encouragement, not medical, legal or financial answers.

All affirmations

A starburst is not graded. A stone is not on probation. Neither are you.
No Quota
You do not earn the morning.
No Quota

NOTHING IS TAKEN

THE SEED UNSEEN
The seed is already true. I can sleep.
THE SEED UNSEEN
When we return to stillness, things mend.
THE WATER REMEMBERS
You may be still and highly at work. The work is the sphere you send. Send a kind one. Then let it go.

Sorrow is a guest. The room does not evict it. The room wraps it.
THE GOD WITHIN
You do not meet a quota to be beloved. You do not purchase salvation with pain.
Already Kept: a house book of worth and arrival
I am the age I am, and I am already in the image. I do not have to become someone else first. I am safe in this season. I am allowed what this season needs.
Already Kept: a house book of worth and arrival
I am not a late invention. I am spirit wearing a day. There is a room in me of quiet and safety where the answers are not hunted. I give the day to the Mind that already holds it. I do not strain. I receive. I am confident. I am still. I am sure. What looks like a closed gate is not the last word.
Already Kept: a house book of worth and arrival
My body is a house God already likes. I can rest. I can tell someone when it hurts. I do not have to be brave before I am kind to it.
Already Kept: a house book of worth and arrival
I am allowed to be warm. Warmth is not vanity. I clothe this temple without apology.
Already Kept: a house book of worth and arrival
I am allowed enough for the circle I am in. Supply is not a personality test. I receive the wage, the gift, the next honest task as a person already included in the flow.
Already Kept: a house book of worth and arrival
I am allowed to be useful without being used up. I can occupy placement before the title arrives. My work does not create my worth. My worth can create decent work.
Already Kept: a house book of worth and arrival
I am worth loving because I exist. I do not meet a quota to be received. I give myself permission to be cherished and to cherish without a ledger. I am safe in love that is not a bargain.
Already Kept: a house book of worth and arrival
I am allowed to land. I am allowed a reason that is as small as tomorrow’s true task. I do not have to justify the whole story before breakfast. I am safe. I am loved. I am already enough to begin.
Already Kept: a house book of worth and arrival
