Renew the Mind

Today, we close out the week renewing the mind. As we focus on our body connection the idea is to train the body and make the decision to renew and restore your thinking by aligning what you do with what you think. All physical practices are design for the renewing of the mind.

Cardiovascular exercises remind us that we are breathing.

Strength training anchors a strong body

Yoga helps our flexibility in life.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment… just for this breath, say to yourself, “I renew my mind, body, and spirit with the Love of God”.

Have a terrific weekend,

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 20 – “Transforming the Heart”

Today’s Body Connection: Cardiovascular exercise is a form of training that increases the health of your heart and the ability to breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Every time you increase your heart rate, you increase your capacity for life. True transformation is one that we cannot always see, but that we can feel. When we train the body-temple, we experience the power of the Universe living within our soul. In yoga, we call it the Prana, the life energy force, and it is felt in the heart chakra. During your workout, feel the energy pulsating as you breathe; feel the heat of life running through your blood. Take a moment to be aware and present.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Transformation comes from the heart and transforms the heart. The deepest transformation is felt within the heart chakra, the green energy circle in the middle of your chest. You know when you have been truly changed. You feel it.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, open up your heart and feel the transformation. Meditate on the growth that you have experienced this month.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I say yes to the transformation of the heart. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 19 “Self-Healing”

The Body Connection: Cardiovascular training is the physical practice of strengthening and healing the heart, the body’s most important muscle. The heart is the only vital organ that we cannot live without if it is not moving. Most of my clients come to me with little or no experience in cardio training so here are some suggestions for improving your cardiovascular health.

1. Find an activity you like, such as walking, running, cycling, rollerblading, dancing or boot camp; it doesn’t matter which one you choose; just get the heart moving. 2. Doing this activity for 20 to 30 minutes three times a week is a good start, with a goal of five days of cardio. But a daily dose of activity is king. 3. Every time you breathe in and breathe out say the mantra, “I inhale self-healing, I exhale wholeness.” The intention to get your lungs full of oxygen and to pump the blood will burn calories and fat and strengthen the body-temple, and that is the ultimate self-healer.

Meditative Thought: Because we are one in God, we must be willing to take care of our self with love and self-healing. We must learn to be a lover of our own mind, body, and soul. But the truth is, God’s love is so much deeper than our human caretaking. Everything we do to take care of our self has a deeper spiritual meaning to it; we participate in the divine plan that is our life.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, go deeper with your self-care. Recognize God in the blessings of taking care of your self. A massage is fellowship with spirit. A nice soothing bath is a baptism of our spirit. A day off from the human grind of work is a day that we can play in the mind of God. A walk or jog in the park, is a deep communion with the Universe and it is great cardio. Today, be mindful of the activity you are participating in.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I surrender to the caretaking of my body-temple because I deserve it. My mind, body, and spirit are fueled by love, and it is good. I activate my self-healing. Amen
