"What is A Course In Miracles?"

This is a question I have frequently been asked.. ESPECIALLY on Instagram.

If you have followed me on Instagram for awhile now you may have seen me share about a certain book or start everyday out the same way in quiet time with one particular book. This big beautiful book is titled "A Course In Miracles" and it has made a profound impact on my life and the reality I have created for myself and in my relationships. I have been studying this book for several years and its teachings are timeless, universal, and transformational!

"But what is the hype?" You might wonder.

"What's it all about?" You might ask.

Hopefully here I can summarize in a simple, clear way!

At its core, A Course in Miracles (ACIM) is a spiritual curriculum that aims to shift one's perception of the world from fear to love. The course comprises three main components: a Text, a Workbook for Students, and a Manual for Teachers. The Text lays out the theoretical foundation, while the Workbook provides practical exercises for daily application. The Manual offers insights for those who choose to become spiritual teachers.

The teachings of ACIM are heavily influenced by Christianity but transcend traditional religious boundaries. The central theme revolves around the concept of "miracles," which are seen not as supernatural events but as shifts in perception that bring about healing , transformation, and new ways of experiencing and being in the world.

ACIM is not merely a book but a guide for living a more spiritually aligned life.

Its teachings invite individuals to transcend the ego, embrace forgiveness, and awaken to the truth of love's presence in all areas of life. By applying these principles in our daily life, one can experience profound inner transformation and a heightened sense of peace and purpose.

Whether you are new to spirituality or seeking deeper spiritual growth, ACIM offers a path towards liberation and allows us to awaken to the boundless power and infinite possibilities found within ofove.

Applying A Course in Miracles in Daily Life

The practical application of A Course in Miracles can be deeply impactful for those seeking inner peace and spiritual growth. Here are key ways to apply its principles in daily life:

1. Practice Forgiveness: ACIM emphasizes forgiveness as a pathway to inner peace. Forgiveness, in this context, means releasing judgments and resentments towards oneself and others. By letting go of resentment, embracing compassion and understanding, and percieving through the lens of love, one can experience profound healing, serenity, and peace of mind.
2. Choose Love Over Fear: The course teaches that love is our natural state, and fear is merely a distortion of perception. In everyday situations, one can choose love over fear by responding with kindness, empathy, and understanding.
3. Shift in Perception: ACIM encourages a shift from ego-based thinking to a higher perspective rooted in love. Through daily meditation, contemplation, and mindfulness, individuals can cultivate this shift in perception and experience a sense of unity with others.
4. Practice Mindfulness: Being present in the moment is a key aspect of ACIM. By practicing mindfulness, individuals can observe their thoughts without attachment and choose thoughts that align with peace and harmony.
5. Engage in Inner Reflection: Regularly reflecting on the teachings of ACIM and applying them to personal experiences can deepen understanding and integration of its principles.
