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, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 8 “Treatments”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 8 “Treatments”

Today’s Body Connection: The word treatment means action and management. When I think of body treatments what comes to mind is healing and recovery. Whether we are already physically active or just beginning our practice, we must remember our healing treatments and management. Stretching the body before and after every workout is key. Taking time to see your massage therapist allows you to activate deep recovery during your period of the physical transformation. A weekly healing session with your holistic practitioner takes you to a deeper level of physical, mental, and spiritual empowerment. Yes, we must work hard, but we must heal even harder. One of the most successful practices to repair the body is meditation. If we constantly breakdown the body without equally nurturing it, we will never know wholeness.

Meditative Thought: I attended The University of Transformational Studies and Leadership at the Agape International Spiritual Center, where we study a form of prayer called Affirmative Prayer; It’s also known as prayer treatments or mind treatments.” I am asked quite frequently what is the difference between prayer and a prayer treatment. The easiest way to differentiate between the two is to remember that prayer treatment is a prayer, but not every prayer is a treatment. Ernest Holmes says a treatment is when you acknowledge the Omniscience, Omnipotence, and Omnipresence of God and recognize man’s unity with spirit. During Affirmative Prayer, there are specific steps a spiritual practitioner conducts, 6 step in all: Gratitude, Recognition of God, Unification of the One, Realization of the truth, Thanksgiving, and Release. Each step aligns the mind and body, with the Divine. Today dive into your prayer practice so that you may know your authentic self.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, acknowledge the Omniscience, Omnipotence, and Omnipresence power of God in your prayer time. Speak a word about the greatness of the Universe.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I recognize the omnipresence of God. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 7 “Accountability Partners”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 7 “Accountability Partners”

Today’s Body Connection: It is time to find an accountability partner; someone you can check in with before, during, and/or after your workout. Find someone who is on the journey of transformation like yourself; someone who gets “it.” Agree to be that person’s support partner as they agree to be yours. As you connect with your companion, you will find that like-minded people can do more together than alone. An accountability partner does not have to be your workout buddy, but they can be and, heaven knows, it is better to work out with someone than alone.

Meditative Thought: Let’s pray together. It is so important to have a Prayer partner. A Prayer partner will stand in agreement with you during challenging times. They will hold you in prayer when you can’t pray for yourself. They will remind you of the truth you have said yes to. A prayer partner increases the vibrational prayer field. Prayer partnerships are a reminder that you are one with God and the Universe. “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or more are gathered together in My Name, I am there in the midst of them.” — Matthew 18: 19-20

Today’s Action Plan: Today, find your prayer partner. Create an agreement to stand with another. This partnership will last for a lifetime.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I allow the most perfect prayer partner to enter into an agreement with my soul. I say yes to a divine partnership of prayer. I stand in agreement and commitment to prayer for myself, and others. And so it is. And so we let it be. Amen, Amen, Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 3 “Affirmative Language in Use”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 3 “Affirmative Language in Use”

Today’s Body Connection: When you work out, what is the language you use? What words fuel your workout? “Yes I can” or “Oh no, not again”? Our language and thoughts coagulate into our existence; we must be aware of what we say as we work out. Our words can either assist us or block us from our goals. The practice is not only to work the body, but we must also be willing to empower the workout with a strong mental and verbal practice. As we speak words that empower, we will see a shift and the body will move with grace and power like never before.

Meditative Thought: Why Affirmative Prayer? Prayer is our spiritual thoughts, and thoughts create our existence. If we believe that The Universe is out to get us, then that becomes our truth. If we declare our separation from The Divine and live as a victim, we deem ourselves as powerless. Affirmative prayer is a tool to shift our consciousness from victim to Victor. Prayer is a way to return our mind and our thinking back to God. The prodigal son only remains the prodigal son as long as he wants. He always had the power to return home. Prayer is our road map home.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, consciously release the victim mentality and begin living life as a victory. At the end of your day, take time to journal your experience.

Affirmation: Just for this moment… just for this breath, I pray to shift. I am a Victor and I release the victim. And so I am. And so I let it be. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 4 “Empowering the World”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 4 “Empowering the World”

Meditative Thought: When we understand that our life has purpose because we are living, we begin to live a purposeful life. From this awareness we will see our life vision. We will take part in what God has called us to do. My Friends, you are the tool the Universe has chosen to bring forth new and amazing ideas for this planet. Only you can complete the calling. As you begin to activate and participate in your divine gifts, you will empower the world. You will inspire everyone you meet to be the best they can be.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, decide how you will inspire the world to greatness. Set the intention to empower your community. It only takes one person to start a chain reaction. It does not have to be a big act; it can be the smallest thing, like picking up a piece of litter. But if this act is filled with big intentions, it will set the world on fire. Remember, you are the spark.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I bring forth great and new ideas. I am the spark of eternal fire that transforms this planet. And so it is.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 3 “Self-Esteem to Empowerment”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 3 “Self-Esteem to Empowerment”

Meditative Thought: I once heard a spiritual leader say, “If you are looking for self-esteem, do estimable acts.” I believe there is a more expansive way of understanding that principle. Self-esteem comes from an awareness of who and what you are, which then leads to participating in estimable acts. When we see our true divine self and recognize our oneness in the Universe, our overall consciousness is elevated; we begin to love ourselves, and this in turns leads to admirable action. Everything we do come from the knowing of who we are and that is true empowerment.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, define what self-esteem mean to you. Make a list of all the things that you can do to elevate your awareness that you truly are. Prayer and meditation are at the top of the list for connecting with your divine self. Choose one task, small or great, it does not matter. While you are participating in that assignment, remember who and what you are. Remind yourself that ‘you do because you are;’ not the reverse. At the end of the day, journal about your experience.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I recognize my self-esteem comes from my connection with God. And so it is, and so I let it be.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 1 “Defining and Empowering Yourself”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 1 “Defining and Empowering Yourself”

Meditative Thought: Empowerment refers to the increasing of your spiritual, political, social, educational, gender, or economic strength. It is time to decide what empowers your existence. What motivates you to truly reach for the stars? Whatever gives you the feeling of power and strength, it is time to connect with it and make it yours. Fuel your every move with true power; divine power. There is something that lives deep within your soul that energizes your life. I call it God; you can call it whatever you like. We must learn to connect with this source and allow it to define our existence. Empowerment comes from knowing this divine presence intimately.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, set aside time to define what an empowered life looks like for you. In your journal, create a definition of empowerment and make a list of every aspect of your life that is empowering and/or needs to be empowered. Remember, all true power up-levels your existence and it comes from God. Connect with Source that lives within you; it’s the only power you need.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I celebrate God within me. I am one with great power and I can do all things in God that strengthen my life. Amen
