Reading & Meditation by Rev. Teresa Stuefloten M.Div., 3/15/2026

Good morning! This is Rev Teresa. I have a reading this morning from the March10, 2026 Divine Science Daily Study.

March 10th was the birthday of Joel Goldsmith, American mystic, and author of The Infinite Way, who lived from 1892–1964.

Goldsmith stressed the practice of contemplative meditation: short frequent meditation periods throughout the day. He taught that the main reason to meditate was that through reaching the inner silence one could hear the still small voice and receive its intuitive guidance. His teaching also stressed spiritual healing through conscious contact with God.

Here Goldsmith writes about service and the joy of self-expression: "When you have found something into which you can put your heart and soul and you can pour out some measure of service…it will lead you to the joy of expressing yourself. If your consciousness is filled with service and cooperation, then your activity regardless of its nature will express the service and cooperation in your consciousness, and it will be a steadily expanding and unfolding activity."

Affirm: Today I take time to be still; to serve others.

I experience the joy of self-expression. 

Meditation:

Now I invite you to go within for a short time of meditation, letting go of worries or concerns for this time, getting comfortable, closing your eyes with your inner gaze raise to the center of the forehead, turning your attention to your breath, gently noticing the in-breath and the out-breath… feeling the coolness of the in-breath, and the warmth of the out-breath… allowing the breath to sink down into the belly with each in-breath… expanding the belly with each in-breath and contracting the belly with each out-breath… coming into the present moment through the breath now, completely awake and aware…

As I go within now, allowing myself to let go of the outer world for a while, I feel the presence of God within…

God is omnipresent, everywhere present; therefore, God is present within me…

I am a Divine expression…

God is present within me as my breath, breathing me…

God is present within me as my heartbeat, beating my heart…

God is present within me as every organ, tissue, and bone…

God is present within me as the blood coursing through my veins…

God animates my body with Divine Life now and always…

God is my very Life…

God is present within me as the still small voice as I listen within…

God guides me through the still small voice within…

As I daily get quiet and listen within to the still small voice of God, I am guided to my highest good…

I am guided to my highest life through God’s still small voice within…

God is present within me throughout my day, leading and guiding me…

No matter where I go, God is always within me…

I am never outside of God…

God guides me in expressing my divinity through service to others…

My heart is open to serving the divinity in others, knowing God is present in each one…

We are one in God’s omnipresence…

We go within for one minute of silence now, listening to the still, small voice within…

Now that we have rested in the silence, I invite you to bring yourself back to awareness of the body, feeling refreshed and vibrantly alive. Going within for short periods throughout your day, as Joel Goldsmith recommended, brings your awareness to the still, small voice of the Divine, always within guiding you, if you will only take time to listen.
