This Week’s Meditative Thought – Celebrating the Light

© M B / Attribution-ShareAlike I absolutely love this time of the year as it marks the beginning of the celebrations of Hanukkah, Christmas and Kwanzaa. This week I want to ground ourselves as we prepare for these holidays and focus on “Celebrating The Light” as our Meditation and Action plan.

When celebrating the Light, ask yourselves what is Light? In my own experience and understanding, the Light is God, the One Power, the One Mind, and the One Presence that I call Love. The Light is everything, everywhere active, and is within us all. The qualities of the Light are always, joy, compassion, power, abundance, grace, and prosperity. The Light can only to be seen when we are willing to perceive it. It gives off such an illuminating presence that it is an undeniable, unmistakable likeness that can only be explained as a miraculous presence felt deep within the heart. This divine Light can only be experienced with an open heart.

This Week’s Action Plan: As we begin celebrating this time of the year with family and friends, open your heart and be willing to experience the Light. During your meditation focus on feeling the Light instead of thinking about what it is. Be open to having an experiential experience instead of an intellectual one.

Peace and Blessings.

This Week’s Meditative Thought – What do you stand for?

What_do_You_stand_For Malcolm X once said, “A man must stand for something or he will fall for anything.” What do you stand for? What do you identify with? Is it your job, the size of your home, or the size of your bank account? These are all “nice things” to have, but they are an illusion, a false God that we have created to give our lives meaning. The truth is that wants are many and needs few and our true identity is the One Presence, the One Mind, and the Universal Power of Love. We must put into practice prayer, meditation, fellowship, and service that cultivate the “Oneness Consciousness” within our lives. Once we know that there is no separation between God and us, we become free to identify with the light that lives within.

This Week’s Action Plan: Today, begin to identify with the God that lives within you. Every moment remind yourself that you are one with Mother, Father, God. Create an affirmation that reminds you of the “oneness consciousness.”

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

Affirmative Prayer

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: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 31 “Begin Again”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 31 “Begin Again”

Today’s Body Connection: Push-ups, pull-ups, and crunches are great ways to train the body-temple without equipment. You don’t need an external weight machine to challenge or to build strength. You only need your willingness to allow your light to shine. Today, begin your physical practice or simply begin again.

Today’s Meditative Thought: As we prepare for a New Year, we begin to reflect on the year that has just come to an end. Did we complete all of the intentions set last year at this time? Did we achieve our goals created from the space of “this next year will be better”? This is the time of year that we become hyperaware of the restart button. A New Year marks the end and the beginning of a cycle of time that man has created. The truth is that the Light is eternal; therefore we are always in a space of starting again. We do not have to wait for the New Year to begin a new cycle, or to set a new intention. We can push the restart button right now. Just take a breath and realize that this is a new moment in eternity.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, close your eyes, take a breath, and push the restart button. Set a new intention for your life, and begin again.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, with the power of God, I begin again. Today, only my highest good unfolds. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 30 “A Bright Light”

Today’s Body Connection: Jumping rope is one of the best ways to work your cardiovascular system. Find a jump rope and get moving.

Today’s Meditative Thought: The Light will shine as bright as we allow it. We are like a lamp with a dimmer switch; the control is within our consciousness. The Light is always on, but is our switch in the highest position? We must be willing to make a definitive decision, and ask, “Who do we serve?” “Who is our master?” Do we serve doubt, fear, and worry, or do we serve a God full of love? Do we serve lack and limitation, or do we serve abundance, prosperity, and plentitude? We get to decide, we get to choose.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, notice when your dimmer switch is on low. It could be at work, in your neighborhood, or in your own home, but it is always within your consciousness. Today, live full out for God; choose whom you will serve.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am the light!

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 29 “The Practice to Know More”

Today’s Body Connection: The only way to improve your balance is to work on it. Today, challenge your balance. Stand up, close your eyes, and feel the balance from within. Stand on one leg and focus on steadying the body-temple. Simple ways to improve your balance are the best.

Today’s Meditative Thought: The Practice is to know more of the Light. It always brings us to a deeper realization of our oneness with God. Every moment we spend cultivating and contemplating our life in the Universal flow continues to increase our awareness that God is the only power there is. The I AM consciousness can only expand as its self. Our connection with God allows us to share more love, more joy, more peace, and more prosperity. The Christ Consciousness within us is willing to grow; we must be willing to know it.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set the intention to know more of the light. In every situation bring more love, more joy, more light, and more God.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, the I AM is what I am. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 28 “The Light That Brings Innovation”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 28 “The Light That Brings Innovation”

Today’s Body Connection: Working opposite muscle groups is a must. If you work the front, you must train the back. The body-temple craves balance. In yoga, the intention is to work in a way that you feel the balance that is within you. There is an invocation and an invitation that allows you to know the inner self is balance and anchored. The light will show ways of training the body so that you may find the balance you seek. Go within your soul to design your blueprint for physical, mental and spiritual success.

Today’s Meditative Thought: The Light is an expansive presence that is expressing itself in new and inventive ways. Yes, the spirit of God is the same today, yesterday, and tomorrow, but the real truth is that God is only in the now moment, wanting to show up as each and every one of us uniquely. Our calling is to express this Light in new and innovative ways. We have the spirit of creativity within our souls longing to be free and unleashed. It is time to go within and ask, “How can I show up as God today? What innovative ways can I express God in this moment?” The power of the Light is within you; it’s time to allow it to shine.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, allow God to expand as you. Be open to new and innovative ways that the Spirit of God can show up as you. Before you move, take a breath, go within, and ask what is the right Divine action in this moment. Be still and listen; you will receive the answer.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am one with the innovative Spirit of God. The Light shows up in new and dynamic ways to bless my life and the lives of others. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 27 “Living, Moving, and Having Our Being in the Light”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 27 “Living, Moving, and Having Our Being in the Light”

Today’s Body Connection: Circuit Training is the best way to train the full body. When you choose a circuit, you choose a holistic approach to fitness, all things considered. The Universe is complete and whole with many facets showing up as the Light itself. When we move through a complete circuit training session, we work the full body, moving from machine to machine or exercise to exercise. This is a great way to make sure that you keep your physical practice balanced and in check. Working the full body represents the fullness of god within. Remember, there is no right or wrong way; just options.

Today’s Meditative Thought: The first time I read the statement of truth, “We are living, moving, and have our being in God,” I did not fully understand what that meant. After years of contemplation, I now have a glimmer of understanding what that statement means to me, which is that everything we do, no matter what it is, is done in God. We live as the life of the Light. That is why we exist. Every move we make is done in the presence of God. There is no place that the Universal energy is not. Our being and existence is God eternal. Our life is full of Grace, God in action; therefore we can freely say we live, move, and have our being in God.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, your mission is to be aware that everything you do is in the Divine. God can only do for you what you allow God to do as you. Remind yourself that you are powered with the Grace of God.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am powered with the God energy and there is nothing that God cannot do through me. And so it is.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 26 “The One Power, The One Presence, The One Mind, The Light”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 26 “The One Power, The One Presence, The One Mind, The Light”

Today’s Body Connection: The stuff we eat affects the way we move. Be mindful and choose the food that loves you back. The light is in every bite if you choose to see it. Food can be a spiritual experience when you are open and willing to know the divine. Take the time to acknowledge the power the lives with in your food.

Today’s Meditative Thought: The Light is the one and only power that exists. It is the one presence that is always active. It is the one mind that we are all connected to. Have you ever had a thought and the person with you says exactly what you were thinking? This is evidence of the oneness of the Light. The Light is everywhere; we only need to open our eyes and we will to see it.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set the intention to see God everywhere. If this challenges you, ask Spirit to show itself. Ask yourself, “Where am I not seeing God in this situation?” Then expect the Universe to show itself. Ask and the door shall be opened.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am aware of the presence of God that is everywhere active. I am one in the power of God, and my life is good. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 25 “Light Expresses Only Itself”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 25 “Light Expresses Only Itself”

Today’s Body Connection: Endurance and Strength go hand in hand. You cannot increase your endurance without increasing your strength. And when you exercise for longer periods of time, you will increase your strength and your endurance. When we move from the awareness that both are connected, it does not matter what you are doing, you will not get the results you desire. Take the time to go for a long walk or a power run. Work out with weights, or go for a swim. It’s all good. It’s all divine. It’s all perfect.

Today’s Meditative Thought: As we celebrate the birth of the Christ Consciousness we become aware of how God shows up within our lives. The Light only expresses itself as Love, the highest consciousness there is. When we feel the presence of God within our hearts that is the Light making itself known to us. We can become aware of the Divine through a person, place, thing, or a moment of silence. God is everywhere; we can hear it in a song, we can feel it when we talk to a friend, or while reading a book. All of these moments bring us back to the realization of divine love. When we see God expressing itself, it is important that we declare it as what it is…Love. The recognition of Grace, or God in action, helps us to remember the one power that is always active. The Christ Consciousness is the awareness that we are one with Mother… Father…God, and there is nothing that the power of God cannot do as us. “I do nothing, but it is the Spirit within me that does all things.”

Today’s Action Plan: Today, when you feel the presence of God, touch your heart, close your eyes, and take a deep breath. Recognize the experience of God you are having. The more aware of God we become, the more experience of God we will have.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, the Light expresses itself as me. Amen
