June 2026 Daily Guides by Rev. Dr. Soni Cantrell-Smith
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:
Love is the Foundation of Being
Affirmation: Love is the foundation of my being. I live from love, and love flows through all that I am and do.
When I think of love, I am reminded that love is not something outside of us to be gained or proven. It is our fundamental nature, the very essence of who we are. In the teachings of Science of Mind, Spirit — the Infinite, Divine Presence — is the source of all life and is always identified with love, the self-giving expression of Universal Spirit in creation.
Recognizing this, we acknowledge the foundation of our being is love itself, love that is not conditionally earned or temporarily granted, but eternally present because we are individual expressions of this One Spirit. Love is not an attribute added to life. It is the invisible current running through every thought, word and action, animating us with divine life and connecting us with all that is.
When we center our awareness in this truth, our lives begin to shift. We grant ourselves the opportunity to see less separation and more connection, less fear and more possibility. We begin to live not from the edge of our wounds but from the heart of our wholeness.
Today, I invite you to carry the knowledge of being love into all your moments with people, tasks and challenges. Let love shape your intentions before you speak. Let love soften your reactions before you act. Not merely an ideal, love is a living reality that expresses itself through you when you choose it. Let today be a day of clear remembering: You are love. You live in love. And love flows in, through and as you in every moment.
Quotes
