Friday Affirmation and Body Connection – The Illuminated Life

We’ll end the week by building on the illuminated life meditation from Monday’s post and look at water as way to connect with your body. Aqua aerobics and swimming are two of the best ways to get in shape. As your body-temple is forced to move through resistance as the water it creates a 360-degree weight room. The body is 60% water, so the natural flow of the pool supports your intention. Today, explore your neighborhood, find your community pool, and go get wet. As we continue to discover this world of health and fitness, we must be willing to try new forms of exercise. As we dance the dance of transformation, our paths give us new ideas to express the light that lives within us.

Our Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, and repeat; my life is the life of God and I live the life that illuminates this planet. And so it is. Amen

Have a terrific weekend!

Body Connection – You Are The Light…

Skip Jennings Relaxing We started off the week with meditating and reminding ourselves that you are a gift to this planet and you have said yes to a mission that only you can do. Remember, when you exercise the body hosts our mindfulness and acts as a shelter, haven, temple, that radiates your presence. This radiance or aura shines a brightness that everyone can see. Have you ever run into someone after a great workout and their response been something like, “You look amazing!” or “You’re glowing!”? It’s more than just sweat, that’s your light of God shining through and as you, activated be your physical practice. When you get your blood moving and elevate your heart rate, there is a natural radiance of health and fitness that cannot be denied.

Your Action Plan: Get your eternal glow pumping by participating in your physical practice or if you are just beginning see about taking the stairs instead of the elevator or doing a 15 minute walk instead of 10.

Peace and Blessings,

-Skip

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 7- “Joy of the Universe”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 7- “Joy of the Universe”

Today’s Body Connection: Remember, when we connect with our body we connect with the Joy of the Universe. There is nothing more enjoyable than feeling healthy. There is nothing in the world that can take away the elation that we experience when energized by fitness. We try using shopping, sex, alcohol, and drugs to achieve the experience of feeling wholeness, but the truth is, it is an inside job that can only be achieved by the practice. As you dive into your workouts, allow your energy and your vibration to fill that place that appears empty. Connect with the Joy of working out. Find the space of gratitude; connect with your inner being.

Meditative Thought: Joy is an energy that can overcome any disappointment. “The Joy of the lord is my strength” is a scripture of hope. You can endure anything just by looking for the Joy. If you are having trouble activating it, ask God to show you the Joy, have faith, and just hold on. “Weeping may endure for a night, but Joy comes in the morning.”

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that Joy is not based on circumstance; it is an absolute divine quality that is always available in any situation. As you train you body temple, find one thing that works in your life. Connect with the feeling of joy and gratitude than remove that thing and just be in the Joy energy. For the rest of your day, mindfully activate Joy everywhere you go.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember to hold on, let go, and let God. I am Joy expressing itself. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 6 – “Lessons”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 6 – “Lessons”

The Body Connection: Remember, when you exercise, what is your mindset? Do you find your workouts challenging, hard to enjoy and tedious or are they fun, enjoyable, and filled with insights? I invite you to see each training session as a time for mental and spiritual growth. Every workout is a lesson of your personal strength and power. When you finish your session, celebrate the achievement. Your completion is a testament to how amazing you truly are. Every time you finish another mile, or the last repetition in the set, or the final crunch, that is the perfect time to let out a big, fat yes. Today, you have accomplished your intention to be better, stronger, and more of you. And that is one of the greatest lesson that we can ever learn.

Meditative Thought: These lessons we have said yes to allow us to be more and to share more of God. Each challenge is the invitation to surrender to the Divine that lives within us. Instead of asking God why, we should say, “bring it on.” After the fire, we will emerge as Gold.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that life is a series of opportunities to awaken and activate our true, authentic selves. When you are faced with a challenge, be grateful and say thanks for the opportunity to grow.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember to awaken and to live to my highest potential. I embrace the lessons of life and I stand strong and in my spiritual authority. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 17 “Not My Will”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 17 “Not My Will”

The Body Connection: It is the will of the Universe for us to be healthy and full of life. The sole purpose of fitness is to elevate body challenges, so that we may be fit to live out our divine vision. When the body is in shape, we move and live in a place of grace, allowing the fullness of God to be seen and shared. Today is your day to get moving. It does not matter what you do, but you need to do something. Take a walk around the block, but walk with a purpose—divine purpose. Put pep in your step. You have a vision to fulfill; don’t let an unhealthy lifestyle stand in your way. Your body temple was created to support your spiritual work not hinder it.

Meditative Thought: Jesus said, “Not my will but thine be done.” When that master teacher spoke those divine words, it became a call to surrender, an invitation to allow God to be his everything. God’s will is the most powerful thing that one can surrender to. The will of God is to be more of itself as us—more love, more power, more compassion, more joy expressing as our life.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, anchor yourself in the will of God. Allow your will to become God’s will. During your meditation, touch base with you divine purpose. Ask God to show you its will for the body, mind, and spirit. There is a plan; it only needs to be revealed in your consciousness.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I allow God’s will to be my primary intention for my life. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 13 “Surrender to the Mind of God”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 13 “Surrender to the Mind of God”

The Body Connection: Our body is the human incarnation of the mind of God and it requires a physical practice. Its condition is based on the commitment to taking care of it. Daily exercise, mindful eating, and an affirmative mind are the keys to holistic transformation. Every day is a great day to start; just commit and set the intention to be mindful of your physical incarnation of the Divine.

Meditative Thought: There are times we cannot experience the goodness of life. Our human condition is so overwhelming and we think that nothing will change. We must surrender to the mind of God. Wholeness is a consciousness we can only see with the eyes of God. As we physically transform our body, we must align our thinking with the Universe. We must build a consciousness that allows us to receive our blessings.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, surrender to the work that builds a consciousness to receive kindness and compassion. Along with the physical practice of exercise and mindful eating, prayer and meditation is as important for the transformation. Before you start your daily physical routine, take the time to be still, say a prayer, and anchor your awareness in the Divine.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, the power of God is in?? my life. I am blessed and highly favored. My body is the expression of the Universe and wholeness is the order of the day. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 29 “Worthy”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 29 “Worthy”

Meditative Thought: What makes us worthy of the life we live? Nothing! “Worthy” is a concept that can only be understood by knowing who and what we are. Self-worth is the knowing that we are the divine expression of the Universe made flesh. You are worthy because you exist. We are worthy because we are God in the flesh. Once we understand this spiritual principle, we are free to move through life doing God’s work. Everything we do we must do from a place of “I am worthy because I am.” Take care of your body temple because you are worth it and because it is the home of Divine Spirit. Do your spiritual practice be the beacon of light that all needs to see. Continue to love, because the person you see is an expression of God.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, stop trying to find your worthiness and become your worthiness. Connect with who and what you are; know that there is nothing you need to do. Write yourself a letter telling your little self that you are worth the practice.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I know that I am a divine expression of the Universe. My body temple is the home of the Divine. And so it is.
