May 2025 Daily Guides by Diana Ensign, J.D.
The Daily Guides have always been a beloved section of this publication. Each month, new spiritual guidance is imparted by members of the Centers for Spiritual Living communities. It’s lifelong insight you can’t find anywhere but Guide for Spiritual Living: Science of Mind magazine.
Each day brings two quotes from various wisdom teachers, a personal guide from the author’s life and a powerful affirmation. This daily inspiration has impacted generations of readers.
In case you don’t subscribe, here’s an example for you to enjoy:
Embrace the Journey of Your Life
Affirmation: In the ever-flowing river of this beautiful life, I am worthy. I am loved.
Welcome, May. This time of year, at least in the Northern Hemisphere, we have fresh green sprouts, seeds to plant, gardens to tend and warmer, sunnier days ahead. Hopefully, we also have an abundance of bright spring flowers adding beauty to our landscapes.
The Earth’s incredible splendor and rich diversity are wonderful reminders for us as well: You are beautiful. You are
worthy. You are loved, just as you are.
It’s also a good time to reflect on what we are planting in our minds, in our lives and in our communities. Are we adding beauty to our lives? A daily dose of splendor might be as simple as walking outdoors or buying ourselves a bouquet of flowers.
Are we slowing down enough to enjoy the sunshine, perhaps noticing the children playing in the parks or the dogs scampering about outside? Do we allow ourselves to be happy?
This month, ask yourself what you need going forward. What brings you happiness? What helps you move ahead after the rains of sorrow and loss? What does your heart most desire? Ask for guidance and release whatever you cannot control. Then take some time to slow down, breathe and just be here, now, on this incredible journey that is your life.
Being alive is such a precious gift. Right this moment, you don’t have to do anything. Just be.
Quotes
Love the life you live. Live the life you love.
— Bob Marley
But we are born to be happy, to be abundantly supplied with every good thing, to have fun in living, to consciously unite with Divine Power that is around us and within us, and to grow and expand forever.
— Ernest Holmes
