Miracles On Schedule: The Weekly Ritual That Rewires Your Brain for Good

Every Tuesday at 12:10, three of us sit down and look for miracles.

Not the lightning kind. The tiny, real ones we miss when life gets loud. A kind text at the right moment. The breath you took before speaking. The email that finally said yes. We keep a simple shared log, we bless each other’s intentions, and for twenty minutes, our bodies remember what safety feels like.

This ritual grew from Karen Lee Cohen’s book, Let’s Be Peace: 20 Unique Paths to Healing Yourself and Spreading Peace in the World. Her message is steady and warm. Peace starts inside, then moves out, one person at a time, you, me, and so on . She writes as a “Peace Whisperer,” inviting us to try small tools and trust what feels right for us, not what anyone else demands .

Who This Helps Most

• You feel worn down by stress or caregiving, and you want a steady practice that fits your real life.
• You are a seeker who wants peace you can touch, not lofty ideas.
• You want a group ritual that is kind, simple, and repeatable.

Karen says peace inside can improve mental and physical wellness, and that calm can spread outward without trying hard. When you find peace inside, you radiate it. It becomes infectious .

Why a Weekly “Miracles Group” Works

One voice in the book names a truth many of us feel, one negative moment can seem to overwrite ten positive ones. So it helps to hold a sacred time for wins, joys, and intentions. “We all know that what we focus on expands.” Their group uses “gentle rules,” talk only positives, one person speaks while the others listen, celebrate each other’s wins, then each person sets an intention that the group blesses together .

Underneath, something deeper is happening. You are training your attention. You are becoming someone who notices progress, receives support, and keeps small promises. Karen’s everyday tools are simple, breath, gratitude, and inner listening. They rebuild self trust one easy win at a time .

How To Start Your 20 Minute Weekly Ritual

Here is how we run ours. Try it with two friends or teammates.

1) Open the space, 1 minute

Take three slow breaths together. Use an easy count, 4 in, 4 hold, 4 out, 4 hold. It settles your body and brings you into the present, which makes the rest honest and gentle .

Say out loud, We are here to notice what is working, and to bless what we want to grow.

2) Name wins, 7 minutes total

Each person shares two or three small wins from the past week. No backstory needed. Others only listen, then celebrate. Keep it light and specific. The book’s miracles group follows these gentle rules, speak only positives, one voice at a time, appreciate together. The whole room shifts fast when you do this .

Quick ideas if you feel blank:

• I took a quiet walk at lunch.
• I asked for help.
• I paused before I replied to that tense email.

3) Bless intentions, 7 minutes total

Each person sets one clear intention for the week. The others offer a short blessing, for example, May your body remember ease during the presentation, or May the right help appear quickly. In the book’s circle, intentions are spoken, then blessed by all. That shared blessing gives your goal a felt charge of support .

4) Close with gratitude, 2 minutes

Each person names one thing they are grateful for right now. Karen suggests morning and night gratitude. It warms the heart and seals the practice .

5) One-word checkout, 3 minutes

Each person says one word for how they feel now. Calm, hopeful, ready, present. This tags the state you just practiced so your body can find it again.

Your Shared “Miracles Log” For Compounding Confidence

• Use a shared note or a tiny notebook.
• Keep it simple, date, names present, three bullet wins, three intentions, three gratitudes.
• Rotate the scribe so ownership grows.
• Review monthly. You will see patterns, proof that change is real. As one contributor shared, writing down wins in a gratitude journal helps you remember what got “superimposed in the meantime,” and it keeps the miracles in mind .

Gentle Rules That Make It Safe

The book’s circle shows what works, we speak only positives, we listen, we celebrate, and we bless. This is not denial of pain. It is a training in balanced attention so your mind does not glue itself to threat all day. Save heavier processing for another space. Protect this window for wins, gratitude, and clear intentions .

If This Week Is Hard

• Bring a tiny win. Drank water before coffee. Took five minutes to breathe. Said no kindly. Small counts.
• Borrow hope. If your hope feels thin, let the circle bless your intention. Karen reminds us to gather teammates, listen to our gut, and take the next wise step. You are your own best doctor, and you will know what helps by the feel of it .
• Ask for unseen help if that fits you. The book speaks of angels as support. Many people feel steadier when they ask for protection or guidance in simple words. You can do the same before you share, and notice how your body softens .

Why This Ritual Matches Karen’s Vision

Karen is practical. She offers tools you can use today, then invites you to “love and trust yourself.” Those four words are the drumbeat of the book, and they are the heart of this practice . Try what resonates and release what does not. Keep the pieces that help you feel calm and clear. When you find peace inside, your health can improve, your choices get cleaner, and your calm can touch others without effort .

She writes, “Please allow me to whisper to you,” and that is how this circle feels, friendly, personal, and doable. It is a small way to be peace, then spread peace, one person at a time .

Quick Start Script You Can Use Today

• Text two people, Want to try a 20 minute miracles circle this week, quick wins, bless intentions, easy and kind.
• Pick a time and keep it the same each week. Consistency matters more than depth.
• Open with three slow breaths. Read the gentle rules out loud. Name wins. Bless intentions. Share one gratitude. One word to close. Done.
• If you like a playful cue, count your breaths as “one Let’s Be Peace, two Let’s Be Peace.” It is a sweet way to set your rhythm, and yes, it sticks .

A Note From My Heart

If life feels heavy, let this be your pocket of light. Sit down. Breathe. Share one tiny win. Speak one true intention. Let someone bless it. Write it down. Watch what expands. As one voice in the book says, “Let us be peace and create a world together that we enjoy living in” .

Will you put twenty minutes on your calendar this week, and start your miracles circle?
