DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 31 “A New Way of Life”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 31 “A New Way of Life”

Today’s Body Connection: When we say yes to fitness, we say yes to a new way of living. Our life becomes fuller with purpose. We begin to know that there is nothing we cannot do. We must allow our physical practice to be the tool that elevates our belief system. Today, as you work out, set the intention to expand your awareness. Consciousness creates form. so create your new life from your new way of thinking.

Today’s Meditative Thought: We must always set the intention to grow and expand our consciousness. When there is a shift in awareness, it is always followed by a new way of life.

A transformation begins with an intention: intention to grow, to change, to shift, or just to be more of ourselves. This intention always focuses on our evolutionary development. Even when we think it is time to change the way we look or to lose a few pounds, all things bring us back to the nature of our oneness with the Universal presence of God. It is our divine birthright to look in the mirror and feel good when we see ourselves.

After the intention comes the action. We just can’t sit around on our intention. A new way of life requires action. “Faith without works is dead.” Once we have identified and participated in the practice on a consistent basis, we begin to see a new way of life that has taken over the old. Set the intention and follow it up with the action. Then you will see your life as new.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set the intention to embrace a new way of life; a transformation of your existence. Take the time to vision for your life, and see what, and how, the Universe is calling you to participate. Catch your new way of life vision that is seeking to emerge. Once you receive the vision, step into action and create the practice that will support your transformation. Prepare yourself for a new way of living. It’s already within you; just allow it to come forth.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I embrace my oneness with Spirit that ignites my transformation. I am blessing and fulfilling my birthright of infinite possibilities. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 30 “Retreat”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 30 “Retreat”

Today’s Body Connection: Resting is the best way to get stronger. The days we are still are the days that the body recovers and regains its strength. We must work out hard but rest harder. Balance is the key. If we don’t take the time to recover, we train the body-temple from a disadvantage. Some days we must push the restart button by taking a day off. Retreat from your workout to begin again. When we take a day off, we come back to the physical practice full of energy and renewed.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Sometimes we must retreat from our everyday lives to push the restart button. The word “retreat” means to withdraw into a place of safety, a refuge, or retirement and/or a period of retirement for religious or spiritual practices like meditation and prayer.

When we decide that life has become overwhelming or too challenging, it is time for a retreat. We do not have to go up to the mountains or to the desert to push restart, although that is the ideal way to retreat. We can begin again in our homes, in the backyard, down the street at the park, or even with a day at the beach.

A retreat is a turning away from what stands in the way of your spiritual practice, and a surrender to your connection with God. Be open to a daily retreat from the world. Find a place that you can escape from the grind and fall into the arms of God. Set the intention to find your safe haven in God. The Universe is always ready for you to “steal away” some time for yourself.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set the intention to retreat on a daily basis. Find the time to unplug from the world and connect with God. For 30 days, take time to shut off the computer, cell phone, and TV and just be still.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, my oneness with the power of God fuels my very being. My safe haven is in my sacred and holy place within. And so it is. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 29 “Blessing the Planet”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 29 “Blessing the Planet”

Today’s Body Connection: What you do in your physical practice affects the collective. When you choose to participate in a life of wellness, you begin to radiate the light of healing and everyone can feel it. Your training blesses this planet, which needs as much healing as it can get. We are all connected to the one source, the energy of life. If one part of the collective is dis-eased, we all feel it. I believe there are more people on the path of enlightenment of the body, mind, and spirit, but we must all do our part to stay awake. Your practice is what saves the world, so stay awake and accountable.

Today’s Meditative Thought: We only have one planet, and it is our responsibility to take care of the place we live in. The Universe has miraculously supplied us with a world that truly works without us interfering. We live in a world that has enough supply to feed everyone. There is enough water; we are just in the middle of a distribution?? imbalance.

The problems that we face are man-made. Thanks to the growing use of plastics, the constant drilling for natural resources, pollution, and the buildup of non-recyclable garbage, we are the cause of Mother Earth’s destruction.

When we set the intention to bless the planet, our eyes are opened to the need to change the way we live. Question: Can we live without an impact on the planet? Can we live without generating more man-made garbage? Can we begin to plant trees and grow organic vegetables? Let’s begin today, so that we may have a better tomorrow for our children.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set the intention to bless our planet. For 30 days, diligently meditate and contemplate ways to save Mother Earth. Take on the commitment to renew the Earth’s resources. Whatever spirit reveals to you, be willing to step up to the plate.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment… just for this breath, my universal way of life is fulfilled in the creative open spaces of God. I am the blessing that heals this world. I am the light and the “way-shower” of the planet. And so I am. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 28 “Sharing Your Gifts”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 28 “Sharing Your Gifts”

Today’s Body Connection: Once you begin to transform, share the wealth with others. It’s very simple: send a blessing of health and wholeness to everyone you run into. Ending your conversation with “be well” is a consecration. Share the gift of life with everyone you know. Your desire to bless people with a high vibration, a smile, or a prayer always returns to you. Transformation can never be hidden. Even if you say nothing, they will feel your intentions and they will see your success.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Set the intention to share your gifts. What a blessing it is when we realize that we have so much to give! What qualities are you bringing forth today? What are you choosing to share? Love, joy, compassion, oneness, and gratitude are gifts that live within our being, and we are free to share these gifts with others. The most important gift that we can share is our time. We must set the intention to bless others with the divine talents we have. Share your love, share your wisdom, and share God.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set the intention to share the divine qualities that live within your soul. Choose a gift of love, joy, compassion, peace, or harmony, and set the intention to share it everywhere you go.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I share the gift of God that is my life. And so it is. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 27 “Release Your Fear”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 27 “Release Your Fear”

Today’s Body Connection: We must release our fears to know health and wellness. When we allow fear to overcome our practice, it becomes a block. Fear is always based on the “what ifs”: “What if I don’t make it?” “What if I don’t drop the weight?” “What if the workout is too hard?” All fear is based on future negative possibilities. We must stay in the present moment, one breath, one moment, one workout at a time. Don’t worry about the future; it never comes. The future is always in the future; come back to the present.

Today’s Meditative Thought: The Course in Miracles says that we only have two thoughts: a thought of fear or a thought of Love. The thought of fear is always anchored in doubt, worry, and the “what ifs.” When we are not in the present moment we are in a place of fear. This fear is also a direct connection to the expansion of the ego. The ego wants to protect and attack. Our human mind wants to tell us that we are “no good,” our relationship sucks, or that we will never achieve our goals. These are lies from the Ego.

A Love thought is the realization of God and the infinite possibilities vibration that we’re living, moving, and having our being in. God is the source of all our needs and in the universe we can do all things and more. Set the intention to be aware when you are operating from a place of fear or a place of love. Where are your thoughts? You have the choice. It begins with your awareness. Once we recognize that we are operating from fear, we then can set the intention to release the fear and embrace our reality, which is love.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set the intention to release fear and embrace love. When you find yourself in the “what if” frame of mind, come back to the now, which is the only power that we have.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I release the “what ifs” and live in the power of now. All things are possible in my life. Breath by breath and moment by moment. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 26 “Finding Your Inner Peace”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 26 “Finding Your Inner Peace”

Today’s Body Connection: Running and walking to find where your inner peace comes from sets the intention. As you take a step forward, affirm to yourself that you are walking to know more peace. As you run, feel the energy that is pulsating through your veins. Focus on the vibration of the heart as you go within. Shut out the outer noise and listen to your higher self. If you run outside, stay alert to what is happening to around you. Witness, be awake, but listen with your inner ear for your guidance.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Set a daily intention to find inner peace. Inner peace, or what I choose to call serenity, is a state in which, no matter what happens, all is well right now. No matter what is happening within our lives, there is always a call to be content. This inner peace is the knowing that right where you are the presence of God is; therefore you are right where you are for a purpose.

Inner peace in action is not only being okay with the fact that you are standing in a long line at the supermarket or the post office, but also knowing that you have been called to that time and space for a divine reason. Serenity is just not accepting but embracing whatever is going on in your life at that moment. Everything fades into God; therefore everything has a purpose and a calling.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set the intention to find your inner peace. Meditation is the key. Set the time to meditate on inner peace and what serenity looks like for you.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am the inner peace that I seek. I am willing to become peaceful in every and all situations. And so it is. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 25 “The Practice of Love”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 25 “The Practice of Love”

Today’s Body Connection: Yoga is the practice of Love. We do the physical practice to know self-love and to feel the vibration of Joy that lives within our soul. The word “yoga” means to yoke or to bring together two things that appear to be separate. Today, use the physical to yoke to the spiritual. Set the intention to elevate your love and joy vibrations.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Love is the highest state of consciousness and it is the awareness of God in action. Being in a state of love is releasing the human condition of lack, limitation, disappointment, fear, and worry, which block the flow of Love. When we set the intention to practice Love, we free ourselves from the human condition. Love is connecting with the light within you and with someone else. The sorrow of the human condition would have us believe that love is not possible. That is a lie of the ego.

One of the intentions I speak about in yoga is opening up the heart and allowing yourself to love again. We must set the intention to practice Love. If there is a religion that I subscribe to, it is the religion of Love and Kindness. Remember, what you send out is what you get back.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set the intention to practice Love. When you find yourself operating from a place of fear, shift your thinking right away. Give yourself permission to love yourself. Allow your heart chakra to be open and filled with love. Forgive yourself for the fear that consumed your thinking and begin again.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am the love energy that blesses the planet. I move from a place of love and my life is good. And so it is.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 24 “The Practice of Activating Joy”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 24 “The Practice of Activating Joy”

Today’s Body Connection: “Joy rising” during your workouts is literally the practice of finding moments of bliss. If we set the intention before our workout to feel Joy, it will rise; just be open to it.

Today’s Meditative Thought: I love Oprah’s term, “Joy Raising.” She explains it as the feeling of the activation of joy within. I believe we need to practice activating Joy every day. When we realize that joy is an internal presence that lives within ourselves and that nothing outside of our being can bring us joy, we become free to do what activates “Joy Raising.”

Everyday we must set the intention to activate Joy. It is our connection with Spirit that will allow us to identify what it is that activates Joy. Be open and willing to contemplate Joy and what it really means to be joyful. Through prayer and meditation, God will reveal to you what true Joy is, and once you know it, go after it!

Today’s Action Plan: Today, practice the activation of Joy. Meditate on the joy that lives within you. It is time to play and have fun in the ocean of devotion. Joy is within you; do not look for something outside to activate it. Ask the question, “God, can you show me the joy that is my Life?”

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I activate the Joy that is my life. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 23 “The Practice of Fellowship”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 23 “The Practice of Fellowship”

Today’s Body Connection: Group fitness is the practice of Fellowship. There is nothing like the activity of a group fitness session. Every time like-minded people come together with the some goal in mind, the vibration of each individual is heightened and the planet shifts. A group session is the greatest way to connect with a collective, and the support is out of this world; it’s beyond the physical and it is a connection that is pure Chi, or Prana, energy.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Fellowship is the one practice that keeps us connected to one another. It is too easy for us to isolate ourselves and not actively embrace the nature of unity; we do it all the time. When someone whom we do not wish to talk to calls, we just don’t answer the phone. Or when we are asked to hang out with a friend, sometimes it feels easier to just stay at home. When it is time for our daily or weekly spiritual gathering, our human incarnation, the ego, seeks to protect us be telling us that “we are too tired,” “we need to sleep in,” or “it won’t be any good anyway.” But every time we get to the place we were fighting with ourselves about avoiding, we always feel better. This year set the intention to view your gathering as a spiritual practice for growth. Fellowship is divine nature.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set the intention to increase your fellowship time. Connect with your spiritual posse. For 30 days, say yes to gatherings with friends, family, and loved ones.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, my fellowship is a deep expression of God. And so it is. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 22 “The Practice of Prayer”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 22 “The Practice of Prayer”

Today’s Body Connection: Have you ever tried praying during your workouts? The power of prayer is empowerment; you feel as if you are connected to something greater than the workout, and you are! The energy of the universe is what fuels your training sessions, so consciously connect with the power the moves you and keep you strong.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Prayer is the practice of aligning our minds and consciousness with the oneness and the unity of God. Affirmative prayer is what we use to remind us of a connection to a source greater than our human incarnation. We need the power that prayer gives us. These words of empowerment keep us awakened to our divinity.

When we set the intention to increase our prayer practice, our life is open to new and amazing possibilities. Contrary to popular belief, prayer is not for God; our prayer life is only for the edification of our souls. Prayer helps us to keep our thoughts and our consciousness open and focused.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set the intention to increase your prayer practice. Whatever it takes, say a prayer everyday to regain your life.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I stand as a prayer warrior. My life is the life of God; therefore I am the prayer of life. Amen.
