Practitioners are dedicated to the cause of helping others, licensed to practice professionally, and bound by a high code of ethics to respect your privacy.

A full appointment is more interactive with the practitioner in order to discover more about the belief that is causing disharmony. Each practitioner comes from a loving space of nonjudgment and confidentiality. What Is Affirmative Prayer? The use of Affirmative Prayer (sometimes referred to as a “Spiritual Mind Treatment” or just “Treatment”) in our daily lives gives us the privilege of choosing the direction of our thoughts, so we are in harmony with a Power greater than we are, and brings our experience out of the darkness of limitation. It is a very powerful tool used to change one’s thoughts, one’s beliefs, and one’s experiences in a positive way. Do I Need a Practitioner? Practitioners are dedicated to the cause of helping others, licensed to practice professionally, and bound by a high code of ethics to respect your privacy. Ask yourself the following questions: Am I too close to my own problem to see the situation clearly? Do I feel that something is blocking that which I am seeking? Do I feel that I lack the experience with, the training in, or the understanding of the Science of Mind principles necessary to resolve the difficulty? If any of these questions can be answered “Yes,” a Practitioner can be very beneficial and helpful to you. FAQs Once I decide to seek the services of a practitioner, what do I do next? When you have decided to seek the services of a Practitioner, you can help by trusting the process: Have faith in the Mind of God. It is Omnipotent and It does the work. Contemplate your challenge and get clear on what you want to accomplish in consciousness. Release your problem by giving it to your Practitioner. Be ready to move forward in consciousness and accept a healing. Endeavor to keep a positive attitude. Be expectant, accepting every good thing as part of your demonstration. Be thankful. Give thanks for the wonderful change that is taking place in your life. Do I need to be present in order for Affirmative Prayer to work? No. Affirmative Prayers are just as effective if the Practitioner is in your presence, on the telephone, or on the other side of the world. There is only One Mind: One Infinite Intelligence and that Mind is everywhere present. Can I do Affirmative Prayer for myself? Yes. The Practitioner will also assist you in the process and correct use of Affirmative Prayer. For example, the following simple Affirmative Prayer alone can raise your consciousness and your level of acceptance of good in your life, "There is One Universal Life, and I am unified with It. I declare that within this Divine Life, there is all that I need for a healthy, happy, prosperous life. I accept this good gladly, turning away from any appearance to the contrary. In deep gratitude I give thanks – I let go and let God. And so it is." After I receive the services of a practitioner, what can I do to assist in the manifestation of my good? Have faith in the healing power of the “Spirit within”. Use the Affirmative Prayer given to you by the Practitioner as many times as necessary every day. Focus on your desired outcome. Keep a positive attitude. Be grateful. Give heartfelt thanks, knowing the wonderful changes that are taking place in your life. Why is there a cost to work with a practitoner? Practitioners have taken at least 3 years of Science of Mind classes. They have done their own spiritual work and continue to invest in themselves. They are professionals and their experience, knowledge, skills, and time are valued. Recognize that treatment work is never withheld because of an inability to pay. Simply explain to the Practitioner, and ask for work in the area of prosperity so that you can start to heal that and be in a stable financial condition.

Immerse yourself in the wisdom of Ernest Holmes at redondocsl.org/ernest-holmes and embark on a journey of spiritual understanding and inspiration. WHO WAS ERNEST HOMES? Ernest Holmes is the founder of Religious Science whose spiritual philosophy is known as “The Science of Mind.” Born in 1887 in Lincoln, Maine, Ernest Holmes left his school and family at the age of 15 to move to Boston, Massachusetts, where he discovered Mary Baker Eddy's Science and Health as well as Christian Science. In 1912, he relocated to Venice, California, joining his brother Fenwicke and immersing himself in the study of various influential writers such as Thomas Troward, Ralph Waldo Emerson, William Walker Atkinson, and Christian D. Larson. Holmes married Hazel Durkee Foster in 1927, and following years of touring and speaking engagements, he settled in Los Angeles to complete his seminal work, The Science of Mind, which was published in 1926. Holmes founded the Institute of Religious Science and School of Philosophy, published Science of Mind magazine, and continually expanded his speaking venues. Over time, his organization underwent several name changes and is now known as The Centers for Spiritual Living. Holmes' teachings and philosophy continue to resonate, offering a profound spiritual path, insights into our connection with the Universe, and a joyful approach to daily living. Ernest Holmes' Beliefs "I believe in God, the Living Spirit Almighty; one, indestructible, absolute and self-existent Cause. This One manifests itself in and through all creation, but is not absorbed by its creation. The manifest universe is the body of God; it is the logical and necessary outcome of the infinite self-knowingness of God." Dr. Ernest Holmes - Founder of Religious Science
