From My Heart to Yours: Sharing Tools for a More Balanced You in 2024

Sharing Tools for a More Balanced You in 2024.
As we embark on this new year, I am filled with hope and a profound sense of purpose. The turning of the calendar reminds us that life is a continuous journey of growth and transformation, both spiritually and physically. I’d like to share with you some thoughts and principles that I believe can help guide us toward a healthier, more balanced existence in 2024 and beyond.
1. Your Body as a Sacred Home

Our physical bodies are the temporary homes of our spirits during our human incarnation. It is our responsibility to care for and nurture this vessel with the same reverence we hold for our spiritual development.

2. Holistic Transformation

Spiritual growth cannot be separated from our physical well-being. When we set intentions to transform our lives, it must be a holistic approach, aligning our mind and body with our spirit.

3. The Importance of Self-Care

While our souls are inherently whole and complete, our physical incarnation requires ongoing care. We may not live forever, but during our time on Earth, we should strive for the most effective and pain-free life possible.

4. The Trinity of Wellness: Exercise, Nutrition and Rest

To care for your body temple, focus on these key components: regular exercise, nourishing nutrition, and ample rest. Choose exercises that resonate with you, and maintain consistency.

5. Wellness as Meditation

View your health and fitness practices as essential as your meditation. It is an integrated experience, fostering harmony between body, mind, and spirit.

C.A.R.E.S. Philosophy for Transformation:

Connection

To manifest change, connect deeply with your intentions. What do you wish to transform? Establish a profound connection with your goals.

Action

Every intention necessitates action for manifestation. Take deliberate steps toward your desired transformation.

Remember 

Never forget that you are a divine being first. Keep your intention in mind, recognizing your power and dominion over your life. You can achieve everything you desire.

Empowerment

Realize that you possess the inner strength and resources to shift your life in the direction you desire. Empower yourself with this knowledge.

Self-Love/Self-Care

Understand your inherent worthiness and deservingness of a healthy and well life. Self-care is essential for any meaningful transformation.

Glow + Grow For Good!! Wednesday, Thursday + Friday (see inside)

Spiritual growth and unfoldment is an ever evolving process.
As I say, transformation is a choice!
Even when you go through the transition of leaving your earthly suit, you are presented with the choice to grow. (as told to me by my medium friend, Wendy)
So, the invitation that lies before you on a daily basis is this:
>> Will I choose to grow + glow or resist that which is seeking expression through me?
Thank you for your responses to the transformational spiritual practices found in my book!!
Here’s DAY 4 from Little Book for Big Transformations!
Renewing the Mind, Body and Spirit
“And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good, and acceptable, and perfect the will of God.”
~Romans 12:2
Many of my “Aha” moments are downloaded during my daily workouts, which I have come to call “physical spiritual practice.” For example, there are times when a run clears my mind, allowing me to enter a receptive mode and begin catching inner guidance about various facets of my life. The physical practice is a conduit for new ideas to flow and for contemplation to take place within my soul. Those who dance the tango, a vigorous dance of surrender have compared its energy to meditation. The practice of yoga is a form of mental focus, experiencing our capability to improve physical flexibility. Movement cross trains body, mind and spirit, creating a whole-person immersion in the Self.
A good cardio workout focuses our attention on our breath, reminding us that the breath connects us to the soul. Strength training anchors a strong connection to Spirit. Yoga postures remind us not only to be flexible in our body, but in all aspects of our lives. Physical movement enlivens and rejuvenates us and the more we relate to it as a spiritual practice we will become encouraged to include it in our daily routine. Caring for our body temple as the vehicle of our soul represents a deep bow of gratitude to Spirit for the miracle the body is.
I welcome you to consider how you can connect movement to your spiritual practice by inviting yourself to consciously notice if there are “Aha” moments that occur during your exercise routine that you simply haven’t yet recognized. It is our thoughts which separate us from the awareness of God so build your mental strength. The physical practice helps us to restore and heal the temple of the Holy Spirit. Today, as we train the body we empower the mind and we unleash our greatness. Set the intention to connect with God fully, mind body and spirit.
Affirmation: Today, I renew my mind, body, and spirit with the Love of God and movement. I infuse love, during my daily practice. I I am blessed and a blessing. And so it is. Amen

Join me Wednesday, February 10, 11 am PST where my next guest on High Conscious Conversations is my friend, John Jacob Mubarak.
You will, as I do, love John Jacob, or, JJ, as he is affectionately called by friends.
_

Please see his bio below.

 

John’s role as the Marketing Director at Rythmia is un doubtedly a universally aligned match considering his history and deep connection with Michael Bernard Beckwith, Agape International Spiritual Center Founder and Rythmia partner.
Founded in 2014, Rythmia is an  all-inclusive, medically licensed luxury resort that has  helped over 6,000 people experience life-changing mir acles through plant medicine ceremonies, ancient and  modern wisdom teachings, and leading-edge healing  technologies.
In 2009, John Jacob discovered Agape and subsequently studied directly under the auspices of Rev. Michael Beckwith. During this period, John found a singularity of purpose – a deep commitment to spiritual growth and development, both his own and to walk that path with others. John found within him a deep desire to work to wards the vision of the fullest evolution of our collective  consciousness through a world that works for the best  and highest individual, and collective good.
John has devoted his life’s work to the spirit of Truth and in-service to spiritual truth-seekers through leading workshops, retreats, public speaking engagements, spiritual counseling sessions, prayer treatments, and in his  role as a Spiritual Practitioner at Agape and as a Director  at Rythmia Life Advancement Center.
Please join me on High Conscious Conversations on Wednesday so that you can hear JJ’s wisdom.

3 Ways You Can Thrive This Wednesday, Thursday + Friday (see inside)

The question my clients ask me now is, “what’s next?
Even though there is a new administration, there is still much work to be done.
And coupled with relief and expectation, a low level anxiety frequency is wafting through the air waves.
There is a deluge of information daily.
_
Does the constant negative news have you feeling on edge?
Well, I’ve got some good news for you!
_
Here are 3 simple ways you can thrive this week:
1. Keep your conversations high frequency

>> Surround yourself with people who are authentic and focused on solution rather than problem.

>> Feed your mind organic, nutrient rich, high vibe thoughts and information.

How, you might ask?


Join me this Wednesday, February 3, 11 am pst on my High Conscious Conversations Webcast.
I will be in a divine dialogue with some of my visionary ministerial brother and sister graduates from the Michael B. Beckwith School of Ministry. (there are more of us)
We are a powerful posse of praying, be-ing + doing folks!
And next, . . . 
2. Move Your Body
>> Yogic wisdom is that you must laugh and sweat daily to achieve optimal wellness.
>> It is scientifically proven that moving your body alleviates depression and rumination.
_
3. Sound heals
>> Dis-ease can manifest within our body temple, creating physical and mental trauma.
>> Mainstream is catching up to what mystics knew from the beginning of time — sound heals.
>> A Sound Bath bypasses the monkey mind and activates your body’s natural healing energies  
Join me, Rev Skip, for Meditation, Prayer, and Sound Bath for healing and clearing the Chakra System on
Friday, February 5, 7 am PST 
Step away from the TV + socials feed for just for an hour on WednesdayThursday and Friday and return to the activities of you life renewed, restored, refreshed, revitalized.

Did you enjoy Christmas? Different this year, wasn’t it?

So, we are 3 days away from saying Buhbye to 2020.

And, you will want to have your spiritual toolkit easily accessible!
These are unprecedented times, in which we are dealing with a pandemic, racial injustice, environmental concerns and more!
These challenges carry a low-frequency vibration, which has compelled many in the global community to search for meaning, solace + high vibrational experiences. Digitally, that is.
In this 10-day course, Spirituality During Challenging Times, you will learn different spiritual technologies + how to apply them in your daily life.
You will receive practices that elevate your conscious awareness and give you hope.
Now is the time to take personal responsibility for your spiritual evolution!
Embodying your sovereign nature is the spark for global change!
My book, The Little Book for Big Transformations: 31 Days of Inner Visions and Spiritual Practices is a great accompaniment to the 10-day course,  Spirituality During Troubled Times course is.

The Spiritual Life

Skip has launched a new app where spirituality and fitness meet toward a balance of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of good health, loaded with inspiring content for the mind, body and spirit.

Many of us are affected by how we handle the stress that life brings us.  As we journey through life, it is essential to find our balance.  Our mind can control most of our natural healing capabilities.  For the Mind, I have videos of inspirational talks, such as “The Gratitude Practice”, “The Power of Three, and “How Do We Get Back to Love”, designed to guide you into  feeling more connected to all living things and learn the power of our deep mind.

Keeping our Body healthy includes eating foods that are nutritious, exercising to keep our body strong and understanding the importance of the natural wonders of fresh air, sunlight and clean water.  The app features several videos and  tips on fitness, including “Yoga, Cardio Zen Elevation, Workout, Fitness for Love and Gratitude, which are complimentary recipes for holistic healing to experience wellness on a deeper level.

Our spiritual health is another important part of our overall-wellness.  It connects us to a greater being and helps shed light on life and purpose.   I have put together videos on “Guided Meditation and several podcasts on “The Journey to Spiritual Greatness”, “Self Love, Part I: Learning to Love Ourselves Fully”, “Messages from the Divine,” and “Global Healing During Covid 19″.

When our body, mind, and spirit are aligned, we can achieve optimal wellness through each element.

Sign up for “The Spiritual Life” app today at www.thespirituallife.tv and watch the content at anytime and anywhere on your phone, TV, laptop, tablet or desktop.
