Carolyn Myss - Invisible Acts of Power

Carolyn Myss, an American medical intuitive and mystic, describes what she calls the "energy of grace." According to Myss, the "power of love, kind words, kind thoughts, and a compassionate response" are a few examples of those actions we can choose that will fill us and others with the energy of grace. In her book Invisible Acts of Power, she lists some of the most powerful things we can do in any moment that we have an opportunity to practice them. They include:

1. Hold a door open.
2. Smile.
3. Offer a kind word and encouragement.
4. Give a compliment.
5. Listen without interruption.
6. Make a call when your intuition tells you to.
7. Offer a prayer for a homeless person.
8. Pray – Period.
9. Forgive others and yourself.
10. Prepare a meal for a friend.
11. Refrain from judging another person harshly.
12. Remember that life is full of miracles and have faith that every difficult situation can change in the blink of an eye.
13. Remember the truth that there is no such thing as a small or insignificant act of service.
14. Keep your power and attention in present time.
15. Begin and end the day in appreciation of either doing or accepting an invisible act of power.
