Friday Affirmation and Body Connection – Faith, Hope, Prayer and Gratitude

Practice

This week’s Body Connection we continue our focus on this month’s theme of “Faith, Hope, Prayer and Gratitude” via “Practice“. We have all heard the saying, “practice makes perfect.” Now let’s change it around: “perfect makes practice.” What I mean by that is when we understand our divine perfection we free ourselves to do the practice required to sustain that awareness. For the next 30 days commit to a physical practice.

When I move my body I can feel the activation of the spirit of hope. It’s what gives me that energy in class and one that I love to share. Every time we say yes to fitness, everything else becomes a reflection of the practice. Walk, run, dance, weight train, for God’s sake shake it! LOL It doesn’t matter; get moving and watch your life unfold to greatness.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, in the mind of God I have no problems or issues. God is bigger than any worries I could have. And so it is. Amen

Have a terrific and blessed weekend!

Monday Meditative Thought – Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude

Creating a Practice

This month we’ll focus on Faith, Hope Prayer and Gratitude as our theme with “Practice” being the key this week. Most researchers agree that to do something for 30 days in a routine can become part of your consciousness. I invite you this month to explore the practices that empower your life, experiencing prayer, meditation, affirmations, and a commitment to physical activity. It doesn’t matter what you believe; just know that there is one universal force that expresses itself in so many ways. For the next 30 days focus on the space we practice from, not who we practice to. Make a commitment to pray for your family and friends, and be grateful for the people in your life.

This week’s action plan. Throughout the week, take take all your cares and worries to prayer. Write a letter to God. Tell the Universe about what ails you. Now imagine a God bigger than your problems.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 25 “Practice to Know More Joy”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 25 “Practice to Know More Joy”

Today’s Body Connection: When we work the body-temple, we get to set an intention for a higher vibration. The ultimate experience is always Love and Joy. We must be open to seeing the joy, worthy of the blessing and keep the faith in every workout session. It not an easy journey to take the high road but it always brings us to place indescribable ecstasy. Today, allow your practice to be the activation of bliss. Be in the Joy always. Your workout can be heaven on earth if you are willing.

Meditative Thought: Joy is a divine quality that is within every being. It is our natural state to be in a space of absolute joy. Once we realize that Joy is who we are, we can activate the joy within our soul. Our prayer life is a communion with Joy, a sacred appointment that we must keep every day. To know more Joy, we must be willing to take that leap into the prayer field and activate this high vibration.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, during your prayer time, set the intention to activate more Joy. Allow Spirit to speak to you and to show you the Joy that lives within your being.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I know I am Joy fulfilling itself; therefore I bless the planet and everyone I meet with Joy. And so I am. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 12 “What Do You Know?”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 12 “What Do You Know?”

Today’s Body Connection: Our workouts will lead to a deep knowing or realization, if we are open to discovery. The journey of transformation is the path to a deeper knowledge of ourselves. My favorite question that Oprah has ever asked is, “What do you know for sure?” Can we truly list all the things we know for sure? What do you know about your body-temple? What were you created to do? Do you know your own power and strength? Today, during your workout, contemplate the question, “What do I truly know about my body, mind, and spirit?” Expect the answer to come from within and all will be revealed.

Meditative Thought: Affirmative Prayer Step 4 – Realization: The realization step is about what you know. “I know,” are the words that anchor this step. Remember, a prayer treatment is an affirmative prayer. It’s not about begging for something; it’s about what you know to be true. “I know that I am abundant. I know that my life is full of grace. I know that all is well in my life.” By stating these words of truth, we plant the seed allowing the Universe to do its thing.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember your divine qualities by saying, “I know…” and fill in the qualities that are seeking to be activated in you.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I know, that I know, that I know! Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 2 “The Affirmative”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 2 “The Affirmative”

Today’s Body Connection: During your physical practice, what is it that you hope to achieve? What are your desires? What is the intention? In other words, how would you like to feel after your workout? We must constantly check in with our self; self-exploration is the key when transforming the body-temple. It is our hopes and desires that will carry us from point A to point B, and we must keep the faith that transformation is possible and that our goals are achievable. Hope is the answer when your current condition looks unchangeable. We must keep that little spark of light at the forefront of every session. No matter what your weight-loss goal is — five, ten, or even 15 pounds — stay with it; you can do it!

Meditative Thought: Most people believe in God, a Universal force that governs our existence. Prayer is a way to access and commune with that energy. 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.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, 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.

Affirmation: Just for this moment… just for this breath, my life is the life of God and I am one with all Divine qualities. And so I let it be. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 14 “Faith Empowers Your Vision”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 14 “Faith Empowers Your Vision”

Meditative Thought: “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things unseen.” – Hebrews 11:1. We might not always see the vision or our intentions unfolding in front of us, but we must keep the faith that it is happening. Remembering to keeping the faith active is the ultimate empowerment. All things are possible if you only believe. Believing is the knowing that your life is unfolding perfectly, and that you are here for a reason. Your life’s purpose is to share your gifts with this planet and faith gives your vision power. Today, know that you have purpose because you are alive; therefore faith is the key that activates your every move.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today is the day of faith building. Remind yourself, every chance you get, that you have purpose. Remind yourself that your life is a purposeful life because you exist. God makes no junk; therefore you have purpose. Live your life as if your intention is done.

Affirmation: Just for this moment… just for this breath, I give birth to my greatest yet to be seen. And so it is.
