DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 6 “Song of Prayer”

oDAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 6 “Song of Prayer”

Today’s Body Connection:  When you work out, try infusing your activity with music.  Music can up-level your consciousness while your transform your body.  During the fitness classes I teach, music is an essential element to the class.  Music helps to keep the rhythm and the pulse of the workout.  It can take your mind off the discomfort associated with exercise. The vibration of music can also elevate the energy of the workout session.  Music has a way of connecting with the heart chakra, allowing you to feel the energy of love.  During your next training session, mindfully choose music that will assist you with the work you have said yes to.

Meditative Thought: Singing is the same as praying twice.  The lyrics send out a vibration, accompanied by the vibrations of the melody.  Whenever you sing, your vibration is lifted to new heights.  The music helps to anchor our spirit.  Every song has a message.  What song do you sing?

Today’s Action Plan:  Today, sing your prayers.  It doesn’t matter if you think you can sing or not; it’s about your intentions to elevate your consciousness.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, “Sing, sing a song, make it simple to last the whole day long.  Don’t worry that it’s not good enough for anyone else to hear, just sing, sing a song.”  Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 5 “Higher Communication”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 5 “Higher Communication”

Today’s Body Connection:  What is the body?  This is the question that we must answer and remember on a daily basis.  The body is a temple for your spirit.  We must come to the realization that we are more than just bones and muscles and that our purpose expands far beyond what we can see.  When we truly know who and what we are, transformation becomes a priority.  We must take care of our body-temple so that we may do the work that we have said yes to.  The practice of good stewardship of this gift called life is a sacred act; let’s not take it lightly.

 

 

Meditative Thought: When is a good time for prayer?  Prayer is our communication with our inner spirit, our time with God.  Prayer is our anchor in the rocky sea of life.  Our spiritual work should be centered on praying without ceasing.  It’s not easy, but it will expand or consciousness.  Because we are one with the Universe we have a choice about how we approach every situation.  We can show up as the Divine, and speak the words that affirm that connection.  Remember, you are God speaking to God, words from God, to God.  It’s about your awareness.  Every moment can be a moment of constant communication with Spirit.

 

Today’s Action Plan:  Today, let’s be mindful of what we say, how we say it, and to whom we are saying it.  Be in constant prayer.  Speak words that uplift vibrations.  Take the time to meditate on your experience.  See what new insights arise for you.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, I speak only words that uplift my mind, body, and spirit.  And so it is.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 4 “Freedom”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 4 “Freedom”

Today’s Body Connection:  The reason for exercising the body is to activate freedom within our lives.  When the body hinders us, our “dis-ease” is all we think about.  When de-condition is the way of life, it has a way of dimensioning our hope.  Allow your physical practice the opportunity to improve your quality of life.  You are worth it.  The goal is always to feel better.  Today set the intention to improve your life with a strong physical practice.

Meditative Thought: Affirmative Prayer is the practice of freedom.  When we speak an affirmation or affirmative prayer we choose to co-creation with the Universe.  When we speak with authority we begin to lose the chains of bondage.  Praying to a God outside of us, hoping that a blessing will come…is powerless.  When we realize our oneness with the Universe, we empower our lives.  Affirmative Prayer is the knowing that you have everything you need and that you’re free to live your fullest life.

Today’s Action Plan:  Today, pray to a God that lives within you.   Speak to Spirit like you would to an old friend, because it is.  The Universe has been with you since before time, and it will never leave you.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, I pray to God that lives within me.  I am one with infinite Spirit.  I allow my prayers to activate Divine inspiration in my life.  And so it is.  Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 3 “Affirmative Language in Use”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 3 “Affirmative Language in Use”

Today’s Body Connection:  When you work out, what is the language you use?  What words fuel your workout?  “Yes I can” or “Oh no, not again”?  Our language and thoughts coagulate into our existence; we must be aware of what we say as we work out.   Our words can either assist us or block us from our goals.  The practice is not only to work the body, but we must also be willing to empower the workout with a strong mental and verbal practice.  As we speak words that empower, we will see a shift and the body will move with grace and power like never before.

Meditative Thought: Why Affirmative Prayer?  Prayer is our spiritual thoughts, and thoughts create our existence.  If we believe that The Universe is out to get us, then that becomes our truth.  If we declare our separation from The Divine and live as a victim, we deem ourselves as powerless.  Affirmative prayer is a tool to shift our consciousness from victim to Victor.  Prayer is a way to return our mind and our thinking back to God.  The prodigal son only remains the prodigal son as long as he wants.  He always had the power to return home.  Prayer is our road map home.

Today’s Action Plan:  Today, consciously release the victim mentality and begin living life as a victory.  At the end of your day, take time to journal your experience.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment… just for this breath, I pray to shift.  I am a Victor and I release the victim.  And so I am.  And so I let it be.  Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 2 “The Affirmative”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS:  30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 2 “The Affirmative”

Today’s Body Connection:  During your physical practice, what is it that you hope to achieve?  What are your desires?  What is the intention?  In other words, how would you like to feel after your workout? We must constantly check in with our self; self-exploration is the key when transforming the body-temple.  It is our hopes and desires that will carry us from point A to point B, and we must keep the faith that transformation is possible and that our goals are achievable.  Hope is the answer when your current condition looks unchangeable.  We must keep that little spark of light at the forefront of every session.  No matter what your weight-loss goal is — five, ten, or even 15 pounds — stay with it; you can do it!

Meditative Thought: Most people believe in God, a Universal force that governs our existence.  Prayer is a way to access and commune with that energy.  I used to pray to a God outside myself, asking and beseeching a gray, old father figure for the desires of my heart.  Now I understand that God is within each and every being.  I am one with this all-powerful force.  I pray with an understanding that I am one with the source of life.  I use a form of praying called, “Affirmative Prayer.”  Instead of begging for something, affirmative prayer states the truth of life.  Affirmative prayer declares our unification with God.  I believe we have everything we need.  Affirmative prayer is a tool to anchor that belief.  It is no longer whom I am praying to, it is where I am praying from.  I am praying from a place of knowing that I am Love, Joy, Abundance, Wholeness, Peace, Order, Balance, Gratitude, Oneness, and Compassion.  Affirmative prayer is a prayer field anchored by the universe, immersed in God.

Today’s Action Plan:  Today, during your prayer time, practice affirmative prayer.  Speak the truth of who you are.  Say, “I am Abundance, Love, Joy, Grace, Compassion, Creativity, Wholeness, and Prosperity.”  Take the time to journal your feelings and the vibration affirmative prayer gives you.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment… just for this breath, my life is the life of God and I am one with all Divine qualities.  And so I let it be.  Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 1 “Creating a Practice”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS:  30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 1 “Creating a Practice”

Today’s Body Connection:  We have all heard the saying, “practice makes perfect.” Now let’s change it around: “perfect makes practice.”  What I mean by that is when we understand our divine perfection we free ourselves to do the practice required to sustain that awareness.  For the next 30 days commit to a physical practice.  When we begin to move our body we activate a spirit of hope.  Every time we say yes to fitness, everything else becomes a reflection of the practice.  Walk, run, dance, weight train, it does not matter; get moving and watch your life unfold to greatness.

Meditative Thought:  Do something for 30 days and the practice becomes embedded in your consciousness.  I invite you to take part in the next 30 Days of faith, hope, prayer, and gratitude to help transform your body, mind, and spirit.   Join me on a 30-day journey exploring the practices that empower your life, experiencing prayer, meditation, affirmations, and a commitment to physical activity.  It doesn’t matter what you believe; just know that there is one universal force that expresses itself in so many ways.  The next 30 days focus on the space we practice from, not who we practice to. Make a commitment to pray for your family and friends, and be grateful for the people in your life.  I believe that the practice is the spiritual answer to every problem.

Today’s Action Plan:  Today, take all your cares and worries to prayer.  The outcome will amaze you.  Write a letter to God. Tell the Universe about what ails you.  Now imagine a God bigger than your problems.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, in the mind of God I have no problems or issues.  God is bigger than any worries I could have.  And so it is.  Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 31 – “The Journey”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 31 – “The Journey”

Today’s Body Connection:  I always say, “Transformation is a journey with no destination.”  The real challenge is finding the joy on your voyage to a healthy lifestyle. The vibration you put into your transformation will be the deciding factor on how you participate and your return. Change is ongoing, so why not make the most of it?  Infuse your workouts with an attitude of Joy and positivity.  Your body is affected by your energy.  The vibration you choose will influence your results.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Transformation is a journey, not a destination.  Once you think you have arrived, ask the question, “Where does this road of transformation lead?”  By asking this question, it creates an openness and willingness to grow and be more of our authentic self.

Today’s Action Plan:  Today, embrace the journey of transformation. Take a breath, open your heart, and keep moving.  You are on your journey; it’s time to take one step at a time.  Today, keep awake and know that your enlightenment is unfolding.

Today’s Affirmation:  Just for this breath…just for this moment, I travel the road of transformation, willing to grow and be my true authentic self.  And so I am, and so I let it be.  Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 30 – “True Transformation Is Living”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 30 – “True Transformation Is Living”

Today’s Body Connection:  How do you know you have had a transformation?  You live your life differently.  When you set the intention to be mindful about your body-temple, there will come a time that you will become your vision.  You will begin to live your transformation.  When you shift your eating habits, you will begin to make healthy choices.  You will choose living food instead of processed junk.  You will give up the fast food, that which kills your energy levels, and embrace whole food that will empower your workouts.  You become a living expression of the healthy practices that have taken over your life.

Today’s Meditative Thought: True transformation can be recognized by the way you live.  We can say we have changed, but if there is not a shift in the way we live our lives, it’s just another mental distraction from the real work.

Today’s Action Plan:  Today, go and live your transformation.  It’s not about what you say; it’s about how you live.

Today’s Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, I live my transformation for the whole world to see.  Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 29 – Threefold Transformation”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 29 – Threefold Transformation”

Today’s Body Connection:  As your journey unfolds, you will become aware of your personal trinity: the mind, body, and spirit can never be separated; they are aspects of self, making up the one.  Each piece represents an intricate part of our lives that simultaneously affects other parts.  The way we think affects the way the body moves.  How the body feels can influence the way we think.  Any spiritual practice can be swayed by how we think and feel.  The Hindu practice of Yoga is to prepare the body for meditation.  If the body is stretched and relaxed, it can sit for longer periods of time in the stillness, allowing for deeper realization and cultivation.  Awareness is key; understanding that the three are connected allows your journey to be full and effective.

Today’s Meditative Thought:  Transformation is threefold: Mind, Body, and Spirit.  It’s all or nothing.  All three are connected.  You can’t truly transform your body, your relationship, and/or your life until you shift the way you think.  And every transformation must come from God within your spirit that knows it must be set free.  Every malady in your life has a spiritual solution, and once we tap into that knowledge our life will change, our bodies with shift, and our lives will be better. We will experience a lasting transformation. We will stop riding the train of change and we will be on the ship of transformation.

Today’s Action Plan:  Today, put into practice the tools that will shift your spirit; change the way you think, and your life will expand.  Commit to the physical, mental, and spiritual practice that is working for you.  Push the restart button again, if need be.  Get moving and/or keep moving no matter what.

Today’s Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, my transformation is to Mind, Body, and Spirit.  And so it is.  Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 28 – “It Takes Time”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 28 – “It Takes Time”

Today’s Body Connection:  When you want to shift your body, remember that it takes time.  Question: How long did it take you to get in poor condition?  There are no overnight solutions.  Be patient as you transform your body-temple.  Sometimes it takes longer than we want to allow time for.  Allow yourself a realistic time goal.  Transformation takes as much time as it needs; it cannot be rushed.  Breathe and let go of your time expectations.  It will happen in its divine time.

Today’s Meditative Thought:  It takes time to transform your consciousness.  There are levels of awakening; the journey is filled with many facets. There is the Ah-ha moment, the realization that change is needed.  Then comes the level of deep contemplation, when we ask the question: How can I apply this new thought to my life?  Next come the action plan, the practice, and beginning to do what is required for the change to happen.  The last level is the being, the “yin of transformation.”  We become the shift and we live the transformation.

 

 

Today’s Action Plan:  Today, walk through each level and know this is about the journey; there is no destination.  It takes time for a lasting transformation to happen.

 

Today’s Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, I embrace every level of the transformation.  Amen
