Create Your Own Health
In Unity, we affirm that health is not something outside of us to be chased or won—it is an expression of the wholeness of Spirit already within. Myrtle Fillmore, co-founder of Unity, taught that we can create our own health by aligning our thoughts, words, and actions with divine truth. She once said, “You do not have a sick body. You have a sick mind in a sick body, and you must change your mind.” This was not a denial of physical conditions, but a bold affirmation that the life of God flows through every cell, ready to be called forth into perfect expression.
Unity Principle 3 reminds us: We create our life experiences through our way of thinking. When we think thoughts of vitality, gratitude, and harmony, we invite the life energy of Spirit to move freely through us. Prayer, meditation, affirmations, and loving self-talk become powerful tools—not just for physical wellness, but for whole-being health.
Health creation is also a daily practice. It can be as simple as pausing to breathe consciously, blessing your body with appreciation, choosing foods and activities that nurture your vitality, and releasing stress through forgiveness and trust in Spirit. As we consciously direct our minds toward life-affirming truth, our bodies respond with balance, strength, and peace.
This Sunday is very special as we are going to celebrate our youth who are moving into new grades. It’s called a Fly Up Ceremony and you will not want to miss this sweet opportunity!
I am so looking forward to being with all of you this Sunday and catching up with you once again.
It’s always better when you are with us, whether in person or virtually on Zoom.
Blessings and Love,
Rev Donna
