DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 19 “The Practice of Giving”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 19 “The Practice of Giving”

Today’s Body Connection: The more you give, the more you get. Set the intention to give more energy, and watch your vitality double. You get out of your session what you put into it.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Today is the day that we set the intention to give more money, time, and our divine qualities that we bring forth. There is power in the act of giving and sharing, activating the law of circulation. What you give away freely, you freely receive. It is so important to remember that we are not here to get anything; we are here to give and share the presence of God that lives within us. The practice of giving is connected to our ability to see our gifts as divine, belonging to the Universe. There is nothing we truly own. All that we have is God’s, and we are only the tools for sharing. When we realize that we have been chosen to be spiritual tools destined to share God, we become free to give. We must release the fear of not having enough and know that everything we have comes from an abundant source of supply that can never run out. Understand that all of your money, all of your time, and all of the divine qualities you bring forth are because of your connection with God. When it is time to give, remember you are only exchanging energy that belongs to Spirit. You are free to give it away, and there is always enough.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set the intention to give more. Be an open vessel for God’s gift to flow freely through you, for you, as you. Begin a practice of prayer and meditation anchoring the truth that there is enough to share and spare.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am the gift of God, and I freely release blessings upon the planet. I am the anchoring of heaven on earth, a divine being pouring out the gifts of the Universe everywhere I go. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 18 “The Practice of Affirmations”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 18 “The Practice of Affirmations”

Today’s Body Connection: During your workout only use language that affirms the positive.

Today’s Meditative Thought: The power of the “spoken word” is deep and transformative. The bible verse that begins “John” is, “In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God.” This declaration helps us to set the intention to be mindful of what we say. The words that we speak are the words of the divine. We are the mouthpieces of God, and we have a responsibility to speak words that will inspire, to use language that carries a vibration that will uplift all that hear it.

It is not only what is spoken that matters; it is also what is heard that has an equal effect. Affirmations are a practice that helps to align your thinking and your emotions. When an affirmative word of truth is spoken consistently, there is a shift in our consciousness. When the truth is spoken and we truly hear what is being said, we are open to a shift within our DNA. We change on a cellular level. We not only have a shift of consciousness, but our subconscious is open for a shift. A repetition of the practice of speaking affirmations, hearing them, and contemplating the truth will lead to your expansion and growth.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, begin your practice of daily mantras and affirmations that will remind you of who and what you are.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, my life is a living expression of the Holy Spirit, and I live these words of truth with gusto. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 17 “The Meditation Practice”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 17 “The Meditation Practice”

Today’s Body Connection: Fitness can be the act of meditation. When we are mindful of how the body-temple moves, we are in the practice of meditation. The practice of body awareness starts with a mental connection to how the body feels in the present moment. We must not judge the body; just stay aware and witness what is happening during your workout. We must not call it good or bad; the body is neutral, having an experience. Stay awake to any energy you might experience during your walk or run. Be aware of any internal messages your body is telling you during your fitness session. If you are open and willing to hear, you will know everything you need to know to empower and transform your life. It begins with mindfulness; it begins with meditation.

Today’s Meditative Thought: The word “meditation” means mindful listening or awareness. Meditation is the time we set aside during the day to go within and hear the voice of God. The only way we can truly experience the Universal presence is through meditation. It is in the stillness that we shall know the Universal Flow.

My favorite movie is “The Color Purple.” At the end of the film, the song Shug and a glorious choir sings is “Maybe God Is Trying to Tell You Something.” The chorus repeats, “Maybe God is trying to tell you something.” Whenever I hear it I am reminded that God is always speaking to us, but we are not always listening.

When we are quiet and still, that is the time we commune with Spirit; that is the only time we are available to truly hear what needs to be heard. We must set the intention to be still every day. It is the consistency of an everyday practice that helps us to build our spiritual consciousness along with our dedication to see God unfold. When we are present and listening — it may be during a conversation, during fellowship, or when we are alone — our life opens up to a deeper dimension. Be present, be awake, hear the message of the heart, and it will transform your life.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set the intention to meditate. For the next 30 days, set an appointment with God. Find the time to be still. It could be five minutes, 30 minutes, or an hour; it does not matter. Just do it. Take the time to sit and listen. Don’t think, don’t create a shopping list, and don’t worry about where you need to be next. Just listen. Listen to your breathing, listen to your heartbeat, and listen to nature. Be present and be aware during the time you have allotted for the stillness. This is a sacred time, a precious moment in eternity. The practice of meditation will change your life.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am the emanation of God, blessed and filled with love. My meditation practice fuels my life and I am everything I desire to be. And so is it. And so it is. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 16 “Knowing More of the Light”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 16 “Knowing More of the Light”

Today’s Body Connection: The light is always shining within our soul but it’s not always evident to others or to us. The physical activity of fitness ignites the lamp, allowing us to radiate illumination.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Today is the day we set the intention to know more of the light of God. As I have discussed before, intention setting is the process of being more, to grow more. The word “intention” means to be more, to stretch. There are two questions I ask my students during yoga instruction: “Where have you not gone today regarding your mind, body, or spirit?” and “How can you stretch yourself during this pose?” Like in yoga, we must ask the questions that will allow us to expand and do the inquiry of self that will initiate a deeper shift in consciousness. When we desire to know more of the Light, we are asking to have a greater experience in God.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, ask the question that will allow you to experience more God. Ask the Universe to make itself evident in your life. Each time you are challenged, simply say, “Show me more light.”

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I reveal the presence of God and the Universe guides every step I take. And so it is. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 15 “Writing Your Divine Story”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 15 “Writing Your Divine Story”

Today’s Body Connection: What is your divine story about your body? Is it a body of God, filled with infinite possibilities, or is it weak and limited? You get to decide. Today, write your legacy: what will you be about?

Today’s Meditative Thought: Set the intention to write your divine story. So many of us continue to be the author of lack, limitation, and misery, and we call it our life or our story. That is not our real story; it is only a mistruth we have decided to take on as our identity. This tale of doom and gloom is not your destiny; it is not your birthright. You are a spiritual, divine emanation of the Universe able to do all things with the awareness of the Christ Consciousness that lives within you. Set the intention to rewrite your story. By releasing your history, there becomes room to receive what God has in store for us; blessings we have yet to see. When we hold on to the old tapes, there is no room to grow and transform. Release your story and embrace the glory of God.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, write your divine story. Begin to journal; write out the blessings that is your life. Begin by simply stating the truth: I am love. That is your true story.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, there is only a divine story that is my life. I am moving, living, and having my being in God; therefore my only story is blessings. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 14 “Knowing Your Abundance”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 14 “Knowing Your Abundance”

Today’s Body Connection: Fitness and health is an abundant state of mind, a consciousness that comes from an awakening from within. Today, set the intention to walk with the sole purpose of the activation of abundance within your life. Stretch to know more flexibility and the movement of the spirit. Do your pushups to experience more in your daily existence. Your abundance, like your state of health, comes from your consciousness. You are what you think you are.

Today’s Meditative Thought: There is nothing that the Universe withholds from us. The Universe is always blessing us with more of itself; more love, more abundance, more joy, more peace, more compassion, and more life. The real key to receiving spiritual gifts is the awareness of their existence. The activity of God is grace, the gift of the Divine itself. Grace is the awareness that God is in action, is in order, and it is in balance working for our highest good. There is always an abundance of Grace waiting to be poured upon us, as much as our consciousness will allow. The blessing can only be received as much as we believe. We must set the intention to know the abundance of God that is our life.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, know your abundance. Take the time to contemplate the plentitude of the Universe. Think of the unending blessings of God. That is what you have; that is what you are.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I live a life of unending blessings. My every move is fueled with grace and all is well. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 13 “Oneness with God”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 13 “Oneness with God”

Today’s Body Connection: Every fitness training session brings us closer to God.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Setting the intention to manifest the life we want begins with knowing your connection with the universal power. A daily practice of anchoring our oneness with God is the only true action required for manifestation. Because God is the source of our life, it is that awareness that empowers our desires. There are three principles for manifestation: The first truth of manifestation is the understanding of the incorporeal essence of God that governs the corporeal nature of man. Whatever it is that we wish to manifest for our life, God is the source. The second truth is what we want for our life we must be willing to become. If we want love, we must be willing to become love. If we want abundance, we must become an opening for prosperity. God can only do for us that which we will allow God to do through us. The third spiritual principle for manifestation is the awareness that we are not here to get anything; we are here to release the presence of God that lives within us.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, every hour on the hour speak a simple mantra that reminds you that you are one with God. Create an affirmation that anchors your awareness that God lives within you. It should be easy to remember and filled with passion, e.g., “God is, I am,” or “My Life is the life of God.” For the next 30 days build a consciousness with statements of truth.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am one with God and life is good. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 12 “Embracing Your Self”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 12 “Embracing Your Self”

Today’s Body Connection: Every intention is a yes for embracing your life force. The word embrace means to hold tight to something or someone you adore. Fitness is a big fat yes to life. When we talk about life, it is the space of being, the vibration the Divine. When we set the intention to embrace life and activate the universal flow of energy, exercise is one of the greatest tools we have.

Today’s Meditative Thought: This year, set the intention to embrace your self, your full self. We are our own worst critics. We can beat ourselves up more than anyone else. We must learn to accept ourselves and to embrace and love every part of our being. One of the practices I work on with my clients is “Loving Language” with our selves. When we use language like “I hate my hips” or “I hate my lips,” we anchor a mindset of defeat. If there is something about yourself that you dislike or wish to change, it is an invitation to create a deeper spiritual practice that will always elevate growth within your life. With that awareness, we are free to bless that which causes us discomfort as it always leads us back to God.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, speak words of empowerment. Be aware of your language. Commit to the practice of the Love Language. If your words do not inspire you to love your self, don’t speak them. Take the time to breathe and wait a moment before you speak. Set the intention to be aware of the power of your language.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I speak the language of Love. I bless my life with divine words of the Universe. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 11 “Celebrate You”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 11 “Celebrate You”

Today’s Body Connection: Set the intention to recognize what you have said yes to. Every physical practice is a celebration of your inner work. When you train the body-temple you celebrate the divine gift of life. Today is the day to rejoice and enjoy yourself. You are on the path, a journey to wellness. Remember, nothing stops you but you, so get moving, keep moving, and never give up.

Today’s Meditative Thought: It is so important that we set the intention to celebrate who and what we are every day. This spiritual practice is the elevation of joy within our souls and is the daily action that anchors our oneness with God. When we are mindful of God as our life, there is this sense that everything will be okay. There is no need for doubt, fear, lack or limitation thinking; there is only room to celebrate. This type of celebration, or what I call the “spiritual happy dance,” is personal. It could be an act of giving or it could be a mantra, “God is, I am, and I celebrate.” It could be the participation in a physical act like walking in the park, playing with your pet or loved one, or taking a yoga class. Sometimes a little prayer of “Thank you God” is a celebration of the life of the Holy Spirit that is within us.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, celebrate who and what you are. Decide how you want to celebrate and consciously take the action to rejoice. For the next 30 days, create a ritual that will elevate your gratitude and thanksgiving for the blessing of your oneness with God.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I celebrate the God that lives within me. Today I am Joy rising, and I am grateful. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 10 “Recognizing Eternity”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 10 “Recognizing Eternity”

Today’s Body Connection: Set the intention to know eternal life through the practice. Did you know that you could add ten to 20 years to your life by working out? The physical practice is the fountain of youth and it’s time to tap it. Every time you train, it is accumulative. Restoration of the body requires a daily practice that takes time before you see the payoff, but it is happening. One of the first things that people will notice is that you look younger. You will hear compliments like, “Did you have work done?” or “There’s something different about you. You look younger.” Truth is, you are younger in spirit and, yes, you have had work done: inner work.

Today’s Meditative Thought: The deepest awareness that we can have is our own eternity. Once we realize that we are spiritual beings, having a human incarnation, that our spirit is never born and will never die, life becomes meaningful. In 2012, I experienced a great deal of what appeared to be loss. My sister Beth, two aunts, several close family friends, and a student of mine all made their transition into “life after life.” My “human incarnation” experienced grief and pain, and some days I felt as if life did not have a purpose. It wasn’t until I consciously began to do spiritual work around life eternal did my perception shift. Daily I prayed and meditated on life never-ending. I asked the Universe to show Eternity to me. Every time I did, I felt the presence of my loved ones around me. I felt comfort and a sense of peace. For me, this is evidence of eternity.

Another lesson that I learned through this experience is that I do not have to wait until someone leaves this side of existence to anchor an eternity consciousness. A daily practice builds spiritual consciousness so that I am prepared when the turbulent waves of the sea of life hit.

We are all created from God; therefore we are everlasting. Set the intention to know your infinite self. It is the spiritual practice that allows us to tap into the open space of Divine Eternity.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, ask to know eternity. Close your eyes and breathe in. Contemplate life eternal through your daily meditation. Be still and know your eternity.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I live the eternal life of God with high intentions. My life is the blessing that empowers the world and all is well. And so it is. Amen.
