DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 3 “What Is Light?”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 3 “What Is Light?”

Today’s Body Connection: No more excuses. What are you waiting for? There will always be a reason not to begin your physical practice. The most common excuse that people give for not working out is a lack of time. Time is all we have; it’s the management of it that is the problem. “When I feel better I will start to work out.” The problem with that excuse is the fact that it is in the future, not the present. If you stand in that delusion, you will never be strong enough. Take a minute to circle “one day” on the calendar; you can’t. It’s time to stop making excuses and get moving. Our biggest fear is not failure; it’s success. If we begin to live a better life, we will have to do better. If we transform our lives, we have no more excuses for not living life to the fullest. The time is today. Allow your inner light to shine. No more excuses.

Today’s Meditative Thought: When celebrating the Light, we must ask ourselves what is Light? In my own experience and understanding, the Light is God, the One Power, the One Mind, 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.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, 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.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am the experience of Light that is my being. The God Presence fuels my life and I am a blessing to all I meet.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 2 “Identifying With the Light”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 2 “Identifying With the Light”

Today’s Body Connection: When we say yes to health and fitness, we say yes to letting our inner light shine, but it takes preparation. We must prepare our minds and our bodies for the journey of transformation. If you decide that running or walking is your preferred form of exercise, choose an area to run or walk that is pleasing to you. Research the different routes and paths you can take. Invest in a good pair of running shoes, and you also might want to purchase running gear. If yoga is your choice of exercise, buy your own yoga mat to help you have the best experience possible. If you are looking for a gym, find the place that speaks to you. Not every workout place is the right one for you. Preparation means giving yourself the best opportunity to shine and be successful.

Today’s Meditative Thought: 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? Do you identify with 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 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.

Today’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.”

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I identity with the Light within, and I allow it to shine bright. And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 24 “Your Transformation Deepens Your Practice”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 24 “Your Transformation Deepens Your Practice”

Today’s Body Connection: As we become more aware of our connection with the Universe, our practice becomes a tool to deepen our transformation and vice versa. As we transform our lives there is a deeper desire for the practice. We must be willing to immerse ourselves in the essence of life. We must be willing to allow ourselves the space to go within to know more. Our body-temple requires an up leveling by changing and shifting the workout.

Meditative Thought: Prayer is the vibrational field and the open space that is required for transformation. We must commune with God that lives within us so that it can transform our existence. Once we know that we move, live, and have our being in divine spirit, our life becomes primed and ready for change. We must be willing to turn our transformation over to a power greater than ourselves. Our prayer time is the sacred key that unlocks the door of transformation.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set aside a prayer time to create a willingness to change your life. Create a practice that will anchor and empower transformation.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, my every action is anchored in the prayer field of the Divine. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 23 “Stay Awake”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 23 “Stay Awake”

Today’s Body Connection: As our practice grows and expands, the challenge is to stay awake. We begin to see the payoff of living a healthy life. We drop the pounds and inches and we love what we are seeing. We begin to connect with the outer results and forget that we are feeling better than ever before. After having a moderate amount of success, we tend to forget that it’s not about fitting into the next dress size down, or being able to squeeze ourselves into our skinny jeans. It’s about connecting with our inner strength and tapping into Spirit through prayer. The physical practice has only one purpose and that is to let us know our own divinity.”

Meditative Thought: One of the greatest advantages of prayer is the ability to stay awake to the presence of God that lives within us. The practice of prayer is not to gain any material possession; it is to know more God. Remember that the Universe only knows itself, which is love, joy, abundance, peace, prosperity, compassion, oneness; our prayers are to know more of these divine qualities that create our authentic self, our true being. Anything that is not of God is a low vibration of prayer. Not to say that these human delights are not a part of our everyday life, but just stay awake. These superficial things are not real, and have no true power. The only authentic experience is the presence of God.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, pray with the intention to stay awake and to experience more God.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I pray with the highest intention of love. My life is the life of God; therefore I am blessed. And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 22 “A Deeper Surrender to the Practice”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 22 “A Deeper Surrender to the Practice”

Today’s Body Connection: Yoga is a practice that requires a deep surrender. Most of us are challenged by flexibility because of the inflexibility within our lives. When the mind and spirit are unwilling to move and relinquish control, there is a stiffening within our being. During the practice, it is time for our inner self to speak. True Yoga is the ability to be present in the pose and hear the message of transformation. The next time you become aware of a flexibility challenge, I invite you to be still and ask the question, “Where am I being called to let go and stretch?”

Meditative Thought: Prayer is the deepest form of communion with God. When we are truly in the depths of the practice, the universe takes over every part of the mind, body, and spirit. There is no thinking, contemplation, or asking God for anything. We let go of all things outside of ourselves and we surrender to the “I AM” that lives within us. We let go of all fears, doubts, and worries and we allow the presence of Spirit to take over.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, surrender to the God as you pray, allowing the prayer to pray you instead of praying the prayer.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I allow the power of God to pray through me. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 21 “Forgiveness to Heal”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 21 “Forgiveness to Heal”

Today’s Body Connection: One of the most common injuries I deal with is neck and back pain. When a client comes to me for relief, one of the first things I ask is, “Are you holding on to unforgiveness?” Because everything is energy, including our thoughts and our bodies, the energy of unforgiveness can show up as a physical manifestation of pain. When you say yes to a healthy way of life, you say yes to shifting your energetic vibration. The mind and the spirit always meet in the body-temple to invite us to transform. We must be willing to forgive our past experience that we might view as failures. The forgiveness is the knowing that there are no mistakes, only lessons. We might need to forgive ourselves for accepting someone else’s opinion of our outer appearance. Whatever the invitation is, it is a call to heal thyself.

Meditative Thought: “According to scripture, before we pray, before we can build an intimate relationship with God, we must learn how to forgive.” — Dr. Mary A. Tompkins, Before You Pray, Forgive

Dr. Mary encourages us to shift our energy, from resentment to love, before we move into prayer. Forgiveness is a vibration just like Love. It reminds me not about whom we pray to, but about where we pray from. If we pray from a place of resentment, resentment is activated. If we pray from a place of love, Love is the energy that carries your prayers into Universal Law.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, focus on forgiveness. Examine your relationships. Is there anyone who needs forgiveness? If so, be willing to heal. Willingness is the first step to forgiveness.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, forgiveness is the order of my life. I bless the world with Love. I pray with a heart of kindness and compassion. And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 17 “The Practice That Shifts Our Consciousness”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 17 “The Practice That Shifts Our Consciousness”

Today’s Body Connection: Health and fitness has no finish line, only opportunities for continual growth. Just when you feel that you have conquered one goal, there will always be another intention to set and achieve. Think of your practice as a constant invitation to expand your conscious awareness of your inner strength. The practice has only one purpose and that is to let us know our own divinity. Every workout will help us to create the life we desire. There is nothing holding us back from our greatness except the belief that we are less than amazing.

Meditative Thought: “We are affirming, declaring, and claiming the truth about the condition we desire to see manifested, realizing and convincing ourselves of what is true in the absolute realm.” — Linda Watson, ALSP.

Linda Watson, Agape Licensed Spiritual Practitioner, reminds us that prayer is about changing our consciousness. No matter what the “story” or situation is, our prayer is to shift our minds away from the problem and look towards the solution. The solution is always God. If you are in need of money, your prayer is to connect with the spirit of abundance. If you are dealing with relationship issues, your prayer is to remember that you are love; therefore you can love. If you are faced with health challenges, your prayer is to tap into the Divine energy of wholeness. Release your “story” and embrace your glory.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, examine the situation you are praying about. Find the spiritual quality that is seeking to emerge from the story. Here are a few examples: money problems, pray to know your abundance; relationship issues, pray to know self love; work problems, pray to know your divine creativity; sickness and health challenges, pray to reveal your wholeness. Take time to journal about your insights.

Affirmation: Just for this moment… just for this breath, I declare my divine truth within every situation. Every problem reveals God as a solution. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 15 “The Practice that Unites Us”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 15 “The Practice that Unites Us”

Today’s Body Connection: Understand that you are not the only one on this journey of transforming your body-temple. You do not stand alone in your goals. There are those who desire the same transformation you desire. There are people who have bigger goals than you. You want to drop ten pounds, while your neighbor wants to drop 25. You have a wedding dress that you want to look amazing in, while there are million of brides with the same intention. You have a pair of skinny jeans, and so do I. If you could take a survey of your community I would bet that three-quarters of your neighbors have set the intention to feel better, look better, and improve the condition of their health. If you have dropped 25 pounds, there is someone who you will meet that will be blessed by your experience. Transformation is the one factor that we all have in common on some level. Your journey will empower someone else who desires to be better. Stay open and willing to help someone or look for that person that will inspire you to be the best you can be.

Meditative Thought: “Prayer is a tool that unites the world.” — Skip Jennings, “Spirit Explosion” Because we are one with the spirit of God, when you pray for someone else, you are praying for yourself. With that in mind, we pray only for the highest good for everyone. I am always looking for the opportunity to pray.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, search for opportunities to pray for someone; I know you will find them.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am aware of my oneness with the most high. I sing a song only I can sing. I am playing in the playground of the Universe where everyone is welcome. When I speak a word for others, I bless myself. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, and Gratitude – Day 9 “Gratitude”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, and Gratitude – Day 9 “Gratitude”

Today’s Body Connection: Begin your workout within a space of gratitude. If we use positive energy as the jumping-off point for transformation, we will find it easier to manifest the condition we seek. Remember that gratitude is the highest appreciation for what is working in your life. Check in with your body-temple, find something that you know is working, and use that energy to propel your workout to a practice. Everything is connected to our consciousness. The mental state in which we approach the practice is the place where we will end. In other words, if our consciousness and minds are in alignment with success, all our goals will be golden. Begin your workout with gratitude and you will see the blessing.

Meditative Thought: Affirmative Prayer Step 1 – Gratitude: It is important to begin our prayer treatment with gratitude. Gratitude is the highest vibration for manifestation. If we begin our prayer with thanksgiving it sets the tone and it is always good to start everything in the highest vibrational field possible.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, begin your prayers with gratitude. Set the tone and vibration of the prayer. Feel the vibration. As you workout, continue to pray from the place of appreciation. Focus on keeping your gratitude field open and active throughout the day and at the end, journal about your experience.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am grateful for God. I set the tone of my life with thanksgiving. Gratitude is the order of my life. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 5 “Higher Communication”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 5 “Higher Communication”

Today’s Body Connection: What is the body? This is the question that we must answer and remember on a daily basis. The body is a temple for your spirit. We must come to the realization that we are more than just bones and muscles and that our purpose expands far beyond what we can see. When we truly know who and what we are, transformation becomes a priority. We must take care of our body-temple so that we may do the work that we have said yes to. The practice of good stewardship of this gift called life is a sacred act; let’s not take it lightly.

Meditative Thought: When is a good time for prayer? Prayer is our communication with our inner spirit, our time with God. Prayer is our anchor in the rocky sea of life. Our spiritual work should be centered on praying without ceasing. It’s not easy, but it will expand or consciousness. Because we are one with the Universe we have a choice about how we approach every situation. We can show up as the Divine, and speak the words that affirm that connection. Remember, you are God speaking to God, words from God, to God. It’s about your awareness. Every moment can be a moment of constant communication with Spirit.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, let’s be mindful of what we say, how we say it, and to whom we are saying it. Be in constant prayer. Speak words that uplift vibrations. Take the time to meditate on your experience. See what new insights arise for you.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I speak only words that uplift my mind, body, and spirit. And so it is.
