Workshop 10: Healing and Creation Through A Course in Miracles
This workshop includes a concise teaching followed by a guided meditation to support lived practice through A Course in Miracles.
Overview
In this tenth workshop of a twelve-part A Course in Miracles series, we explore creation, the holy instant, and our true function as miracle workers. This session clarifies what it means to live in a state of grace—where forgiveness becomes acceptance, judgment loosens, and peace returns naturally.
Drawing directly from A Course in Miracles, this workshop presents the holy instant as the moment we seek to change nothing and accept everything. Through forgiveness, trust, and open-mindedness, we reclaim our role as Teachers of God and remember our shared purpose in creation.

Part 1 - The Teaching: Creation, Grace, and the Holy Instant
What is creation?
In truth, it is us—not as bodies, but as the living extension of God’s Love.
And what is our purpose?
Not suffering. Not sacrifice. Not a life of loss and fear.
Our purpose is simple:
We are here to become miracle workers.
That is not a lofty title reserved for saints—it is the natural function of a healed mind. It is the way we remember Who We Are, and the way the world is gently released from the grip of ego-illusions.
The Holy Instant Changes Everything
The Course assures us that awakening is not a slow achievement earned over time. It can happen in an instant.
A holy instant.
And what is the holy instant?
It is the moment you stop arguing with reality.
It is the moment you choose:
Not to defend your identity as a body, but remembering you are an eternal Light.
Not to attack separation through anger, hatred or fear.
Not to control outcomes.
Not to try and fix the dream.
A holy instant comes when you simply decide to accept what is—and invite a different perception - God’s Perception of us.
We are not corruptible bodies with needy, controlling egos. That is a false identity we are masquerading as in the physical world. We are beings of Light and Love, who have forgotten we at One with God and each other.
As A Course in Miracles states:
“The necessary condition for the holy instant does not require that you have no thoughts that are not pure. But it does require that you have none that you would keep.” (ACIM, T-15.IV.9:1-2)
The Course describes the holy instant as a time in which the mind is open to receive and give, and it seeks to change nothing, but merely to accept everything.
That one shift—when it is sincere—has the power to change everything for you.
Not because the world suddenly obeys your will, but because you have laid down the ego’s will entirely.
Forgiveness as Acceptance
In the ego’s version of forgiveness, we “forgive” what we still believe is real and harbor resentment over.
But in the Course, forgiveness is deeper:
Forgiveness is the willingness to stop insisting the past should have been different.
Forgiveness is releasing the interpretation that something must be punished, fixed, or resisted.
Forgiveness is allowing Love to reinterpret what you see.
Forgiveness to live in a state of grace.
What Is Grace?
Grace is the power and Love of God.
To live by grace is to begin recognizing only one thing as true about yourself and others:
The light of God is still there and has never left us.
Grace does not deny that you feel upset.
It denies that upset is the truth.
Grace is the steady recognition beneath the storm.
As it states in A Course in Miracles:
“By grace I live. By grace I am released.
By grace I give. By grace I will release.” (ACIM, W-169.15:3-6)
You can read that as:
By God’s Love I live.
By God’s Love I am released.
By God’s Love I give.
By God’s Love I will release.
And that “release” is the quiet miracle of no longer treating illusion as truth and law.
Teachers of God and the Practice of Trust
When you practice the holy instant, you begin to live differently. You stop asking the world to provide your safety. You begin resting in God’s safety instead.
This is the beginning of becoming what the Course calls a Teacher of God.
And what does a Teacher of God look like?
Not someone who “performs” spirituality, evangelizes or works to “convert” people to a certain belief system — but someone who steadily develops a set of ten specific characteristics:
Trust: What you see is not the whole story. Every Teacher of God trusts that what they see around them with their physical eyes is not the truth of their reality. Their trust is in the reality that exists beyond what we can see through the eyes of the ego.
Honesty: You refuse to lie to yourself about the separation. Every Teacher of God is completely honest - and in only one way: we no longer believe in the false reality around us. Where there is conflict, we do not believe it is real. We know the truth of our Oneness and hold onto that truth.
Tolerance: A teacher of God tolerates the illusion of separation. We know that what we see is false, and so we do not judge or react to what we see as anything more than a false expression of Who We Are in Truth.
Gentleness: A teacher of God is gentle because attack makes no sense in a dream. Now harm to any one of our brothers becomes impossible. If we are not bodies and One Love in truth, then who would be our enemy? To judge another as separate is to be dishonest about the truth of our Oneness we say we believe in. Gentleness is the demonstration of the end of our denial of our Oneness.
Joy: Joy follows from gentleness in that we are free from all fear of our brothers. We sincerely believe in our One Self. Joy is our song of freedom and gratitude that all is well within us, knowing our eternal existence cannot be snuffed out by loss of the body or any other means.
Defenselessness: Because fear is no longer useful to a teacher of God. Believing in bodies is a defense against the Truth of our bodilessness in Spirit. What would we defend ourselves against in a dream? We are dreaming of being bodies and no longer want to delay our waking by insisting - defending - the idea of our separation.
Generosity: Giving the only thing real: Love. Only what is real can be truly given, and only the eternal is real. And only love is eternal. We give love by seeing only eternal love within our fellow brothers. We are generous when we look past the body to the light within them, and know we share this light together. This is what it means to be truly generous: To give our brothers release and freedom from the illusion of the body through seeing only eternal love within everyone we meet or think of.
Patience: The Teacher of God practices complete patience in God’s promised outcome of the healing of All Creation. The illusion of the world will be forgiven and we wait patiently in joyful hope for the coming of God’s Kingdom.
Faithfulness: We faithfully rest in the promised outcome of knowing our shared Unity. The measure of our faith is the measure of how fully we have accepted the truth of our Oneness. It rests on trust: that only the eternal is true, and in keeping with honesty, the Teacher does not believe what their eyes show them, and so they are perfectly tolerant of what they see. They respond instead with caring gentleness and joy. They know they have nothing to fear and there is nothing to defend against in a dream. They generously see their fellows as valuable gifts of love and lessons in learning that they could not ascend from this reality without. And in quiet patience they accept all whom God has given them to love.
Open-mindedness: For the teacher of God, to be open-minded means the end of judgment. We understand we cannot see the Great Rays of Divine Light shining from all living things. We have released the world from our judgment through the open-mindedness of knowing there is much more beyond what our ego-vision is showing us.
The clouds that block our Christ-vision begin to lift as we allow our judgment to be laid to rest in a blanket of forgiveness. For now forgiveness of the world is our single goal, at which point all learning is complete.
Open-mindedness is especially important because the mind becomes closed the moment it says, “I know what this is. I know what this means. You are wrong and I am right.”
But when you are willing to admit, “I do not know what anything is for,” you make room for guidance. You make room for miracles. You make room for the holy instant.
A Simple Daily Practice
When you feel yourself tightening, resisting, or trying to force an outcome, in response to an aspect of your life, here is a simply practice to realign yourself with God’s Creation:
Pause, take a single, conscious breath.
Remember that all things you see with your bodily eyes, are illusions.
Remember that illusions cannot be controlled, only released unto God.
And above all else, you want to know the peace of God’s Creation.
This is forgiveness in action. This is the work of a Teacher of God - a miracle worker.
And A Course in Miracles says:
“Without illusions conflict is impossible. Let us try to recognize this today, and experience the peace this recognition brings.” (ACIM, W-74.2:4-5)
“There is no will but God’s. I cannot be in conflict.
I am at peace.
Nothing can disturb me. My will is God’s.
My will and God’s are one.
God wills peace for His Son.There is no will but God’s. These conflict thoughts are meaningless.” (ACIM, W-74.3:2-13)
“There is no will but God’s. I seek His peace today.” (ACIM, W-74.7:2-3)
And in that instant of willingness, creation is remembered—not as something you do alone, but as something Love does through you.
Part 2 - Guided Meditation: The Holy Instant of Grace
This meditation was adapted from A Course in Miracles Workbook Lessons 74: There is no will but God’s and Lesson 75: The light has come.
Settle In
Okay, let’s begin.
You may close your eyes if you wish or watch this meditation (click here or the link below.) It is comprised of peaceful nature scenes from my farm and other quiet moments during my travels. These recordings are intentionally simple and grounding, created to support stillness, inner listening, and a gentle return to presence as the meditation is received.
Now, bring your attention to sound.
Notice the farthest sound you can perceive.
Now the closest.
And then the quiet space between sounds.
Now listen for something closer than any other sound:
your breathing.
Feel the breath moving in… and out…
Slow and gentle.
Deep, comfortable, soothing and even breaths.
Now bring awareness to your chest.
Notice the movement of your chest with each breath, in and out.
Try and feel the rhythm of your heartbeat. Just become aware that your heart is moving.
Just noticing it.
In this moment, nothing is required of you.
You are safe.
You are here and you are fully in the present moment.
A Moment of Being Held
Now imagine a quiet, loving, angelic presence near you—gentle and safe, a dear friend.
One who has loved you since your creation.
And now I would like you to place your hands together, palms touching comfortably, as though you are holding hands with yourself.
Feel the sensation of the skin on your palms touching… you have power and energy here… radiating from your hands… become aware of this energy… you may feel tingling… or warmth… and now pay attention to what you are feeling within you… see if you can find… a sense of self-love… for love is what this energy really is.
Sit quietly… gently holding hands with yourself… giving and receiving love…
And now I would like you to become aware of an angelic presence kneeling in front of you. It is your angel, one who has loved you since your creation.
Your angel leans in toward you, and places its hands over yours, joining you in loving yourself… feel its gentle presence holding your hands secure as it adds its loving light to yours.
You feel the combined energy travel as white light up your arms…into your shoulders… through your neck… spreading through every part of your face… and at last the light extends up through the top of your head and into the dimension that lies beyond the world we see.
And now your Creator joins you, accepting your light and returning Its Light to you in a reciprocal exchange. This is an exchange that has been going on since your creation, and will never cease for all eternity.
The only difference now, is that you are being made aware of it.
You are forever held in this holy exchange of Love and Light between your Divine Creator and your Holy Self… You are now aware if this, and it is a very sacred thing you are doing.
Now I would like you to bring your folded hands up to your chest and place them over your heart.
Do you recognize this position? It is a position of veneration used by many during deep prayer. There is a special reason for this. Bringing the hands together is a form of self-love joined with the Divine.
When you move into this position you are inviting love and light into yourself. This is an ideal position to be in for giving and receiving Divine energy.
Essentially, you are being held in a Divine Embrace.
Enjoy this sensation now, of being held by your Highest Self, Your angel, and your Creator in a Divine Embrace.
Feel light and love fill your body… feel it traveling into all the dark places that hold emotional or physical pain. Feel it entering into each and every cell of your physical body…breathe it into every conceivable space within you…
Now… Feel the very molecules of your body simply dissolve into love and light…
Divine Love and Light have now cleansed you of all that is dark and heavy. Your physical body has been replaced with Divine energy. You have been made light enough to travel into the Light and move further inward.
At this time you may place your hands back in your lap or at any time if it feels comfortable for you to do so.
Your angel, who is still kneeling in front of you, stands now and opens its broad wings and wraps them gently around you, enfolding you, like an angelic cocoon of light.
You will now go on a journey upward and inward as your angel carries you into the Divine Light we each contain within us.
You will move forward as I slowly count from 1 to 7. At each stage of your journey, yet another angel will join its light to yours, forming layer upon layer of light.
One…Your angel gently lifts you with ease and grace…and as it does so, you notice another angel has joined you now… You see its light enfold around the outside of your angel, and with this act of love, your sense of safety deepens.
Two… Still moving upward and inward another angel has joined you. As it enfolds you in its light, it speaks to you and tells you how worthy you are of Love. It reassures you that you are loved by a host of heavenly Beings. You gladly accept these words.
Three… You continue to float as light as a feather as a third angel now joins you. As it wraps you in its loving cocoon of light and love, adding yet another layer, it tells you that you are always being carefully watched, helped, and lovingly taken care of.
Four… And now yet another angel adds itself to the layers of love surrounding you. This one softly whispers to you that you are never alone… and with these words, all sense of loneliness you may have been holding inside you disappears… and you willingly go deeper inward.
Five… You are now joined by another angel and it lovingly tells you, it has seen and heard all that you have been through. It knows all your joys and sorrows and completely understands every decision you have ever made. It knows you have always done your best. Feel your sense of inadequacy dissolve… and yield to the inward pull of your Creator…
Six… Lifting you ever higher and deeper inward, another angel arrives to tell you to rest your weary mind. Stop thinking about the world and all the problems associated with it. You deserve better than an endless parade of problems. You deserve Love. You deserve peace. You deserve happiness. Nothing less than this should be accepted and nothing more could ever be given… and with these words, feel yourself go deeper inward…
Seven… The final angel has now joined itself to your powerful group of healing angels and quietly tells you the most important thing of all: God Himself loves you with all His Being. You are perfect in His eyes and He is greatly pleased with you. He now requests your willingness to join with Him.
And now I we pause for a moment. You have arrived at your most holy center, the place where the Divine resides within you.
It is here you give your willingness to listen to God’s Voice and accept His Word. It is here you willingly join your will with the Will of God.
His Will is that you give up all conflict and enter into a state of peace with all things. Let peace replace the strange idea that you are torn by conflicting goals, dreams and desired outcomes in the world.
Gods Will, is that you have no goal but His. His goal is for you to give up all attachment to illusions of happiness. Without these illusions conflict is impossible.
And now, allow yourself to be lead into a deep stillness with some key thoughts.
Think about these truths as you still your mind and heart in complete acceptance and quiet willingness:
There is no will but God’s. I cannot be in conflict, for conflict is not His Will.
I am at peace.
Nothing can disturb me. My will is God’s.
God wills peace for His child.
Thoughts about conflict serve no good purpose. They are meaningless thoughts.
I seek only the peace of God.
And now prepare to enter an even deeper state of tranquility and peace. Your mind is completely still and you stand ready to accept your holy function as a peace-seeking child of God right now, with these words:
The light has come. I have forgiven the world.
With these words, feel every burden lifted, every care healed, every sorrow erased.
We will rest here now, for a few moments.
Returning
And now, without losing any of the peace and happiness you are feeling right now, we will begin the reawakening process. You will clearly and vividly remember everything you experienced, heard or felt during your journey within.
You will awaken as I count up to five. When I reach the number five, you will become fully alert and wide-awake.
One… You are beginning to feel more awake. You feel the weight of your body, your feet, your legs, your arms, your torso and your head.
Two… Now you are becoming more aware of your surroundings… Feeling satisfied, safe and comfortable.
Three… You’re looking forward to the profound positive results from this deeply healing meditation.
Four… Feeling absolutely happy and wonderful and more and more awake
Five… Now you are wide-awake and fully alert. Open your eyes and be present.
Welcome back. You did beautifully. Thank yourself for this time spent with God, His Peace and His Light. It is a gift to your highest Self that knows no limits in Healing and Love.
