affirmative prayer

This Week’s Meditative Thought and Action Plan – Freedom

© M B / Attribution-ShareAlike This week we build upon the freedom we gain from our Affirmative Prayer . When we speak an affirmation or affirmative prayer we choose to be an active participant with the co-creator with the Universe. When we speak with this authority we begin to be part of the fabric of the reality around us and lose the chains of bondage that makes us powerless in the events that seem outside our control. Just praying to a God outside of us, hoping that a blessing will come…is powerless. When we realize our oneness with the Universe, it empower our lives. An Affirmative Prayer is the knowing that you have everything you need and that you’re free to live your fullest life.

This week’s Action Plan: All week seek to pray to God that lives within you and aim to speak to Spirit like you would to an old friend, because it is. The Universe is part of you and has been with you since before time, and it will never leave you.

Peace and Blessings,

This Week’s Meditative Thought and Action Plan – The Affirmative

Most people believe in God, a Universal force that governs our existence. Prayer is a way to access and commune with that energy. In the past 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.

This week’s Action Plan: All this week 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.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 14 “Release and Let Go”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 14 “Release and Let Go”

Today’s Body Connection: There comes a point in our transformation when we simply need to let go and let the Universe do its thing. When you have done all you can and you feel stuck, let go of the control. Let go of what you think you transformation needs to look like. Let go of the outcome and allow the blessing to surprise you. Yes, we set our goal weight, but we let go of how we will achieve it. There are so many ways to drop the inches. Yes, we want to be stronger, but strength-training comes in different packages. When we finish working out, there needs to be a symbolic death of the physical practice so that transformation can truly take place. In yoga, we call the hatha (movement) the practice, and the meditation the actual yoga. The shavasana, or corpse pose, is the symbolic death of all the work that has come before. The practice is over, let it go so that you may go out and live your transformation.

Meditative Thought: Affirmative Prayer Step 6 – Release: Once you have said the prayer, you must release and let it go. Release the prayer; allow God to be God. We hold on to our prayers because we don’t have the faith that they will come to fruition. As long as we hold on tight, the prayer can’t expand, it can’t breathe, it can’t grow. It goes no further than your mouth. Our prayers must fly into the cosmos. “I let go and I let God,” is a mantra that I use all the time. Release is the first step toward serenity. Turn your cares and worries over to God. Release is true freedom. It builds our faith. We begin to believe that God is in control.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, begin to release your prayer into the Universe so that God can be God. Journal your experiences. I would love to hear from you.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I release and I let God. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 13 “Thanksgiving”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 13 “Thanksgiving”

Today’s Body Connection: Like we start the practice; finish with the same attitude gratefulness and thanksgiving. We can simple be grateful that the workout is over or that we went a little further then we intended to go. Just be thankful. We can appreciate that our body is working well enough to workout or that we can afford a trainer or a gym membership. There is always something to be grateful for. When we appreciate what we have or what we have done, it always enough. When we forget to be thankful, we are always looking for more.

Meditative Thought: Affirmative Prayer Step 5 – Thanksgiving: Meister Eckhart wrote, “If the only Prayer you said in your life was ‘Thank You,’ that would suffice.” This stage moves us into faith; faith that it is done. Thank you is that overwhelming appreciation for God and its infinite expression of giving. The more we say thank you, the more we have to be thankful for.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, say thank you every chance you get.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am grateful. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, and Gratitude – Day 9 “Gratitude”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, and Gratitude – Day 9 “Gratitude”

Today’s Body Connection: Begin your workout within a space of gratitude. If we use positive energy as the jumping-off point for transformation, we will find it easier to manifest the condition we seek. Remember that gratitude is the highest appreciation for what is working in your life. Check in with your body-temple, find something that you know is working, and use that energy to propel your workout to a practice. Everything is connected to our consciousness. The mental state in which we approach the practice is the place where we will end. In other words, if our consciousness and minds are in alignment with success, all our goals will be golden. Begin your workout with gratitude and you will see the blessing.

Meditative Thought: Affirmative Prayer Step 1 – Gratitude: It is important to begin our prayer treatment with gratitude. Gratitude is the highest vibration for manifestation. If we begin our prayer with thanksgiving it sets the tone and it is always good to start everything in the highest vibrational field possible.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, begin your prayers with gratitude. Set the tone and vibration of the prayer. Feel the vibration. As you workout, continue to pray from the place of appreciation. Focus on keeping your gratitude field open and active throughout the day and at the end, journal about your experience.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am grateful for God. I set the tone of my life with thanksgiving. Gratitude is the order of 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 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
