About This Review

This is a review lesson in the ACIM Workbook. Review lessons revisit earlier ideas, allowing them to deepen and integrate into your awareness. Each review period is an opportunity to see these ideas with fresh eyes and a more receptive mind.

Practice Guidance

The review lessons are designed to consolidate the ideas you've been practicing. Spend time with each idea being reviewed, letting it settle more deeply than before. You may notice that ideas which seemed abstract or difficult when you first encountered them now carry a different quality.

Don't rush through the review. Each idea deserves your full, unhurried attention. You might find that your understanding has shifted in subtle ways since you first practiced these lessons.

Contemplation

As you review, notice which ideas resonate more strongly now than they did initially. This natural deepening is part of the workbook's design — each review builds on the foundation of daily practice.

From Walking the Workbook

The recognition continues. Beloved, we are well past the halfway point.

Today's applied idea is in the Workbook. Read it. Sit with it.

In this second half of the twenty days, the affirmation can begin to land in the body itself — a small softening of the shoulders when the sentence is said, a slowing of the breath, a quieting that the body recognizes before the mind has decided anything. The body knows the truth of the practice before the mind has caught up. We do not need to explain this. We need only to notice it and to receive it gratefully.

There is no rush to understand what is happening. The Course has never asked for understanding. It has asked for willingness, and willingness has been given, day after day. The understanding, when it comes, comes as a consequence of the receiving, not as a precondition for it.

For today. Read today's lesson in the Workbook. Repeat the affirmation. Allow the body to soften where it can.
