DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 5 “Bringing the Darkness to the Light”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 5 “Bringing the Darkness to the Light”

Today’s Body Connection: Sometimes a plateau in your workout regime can have the appearance of stagnation. These periods in our lives can appear to be dark and ineffective. The truth of the matter is you only need new ideas about how to push past this stage. H.I.I.T. stands for high intensity interval training and it is the format that professional athletes use to stay in shape. It’s when you push yourself at a high intensity for a short period of time, and then you recover, repeating the intervals several times. When you work at a high level, you burn more calories for a shorter period of time. H.I.I.T. training will give you a sense of how powerful and amazing you are. You will activate a new frame of mind and energize your workouts. If you are looking to revamp your physical practice, try incorporating interval training one to two days a week. This shift in your training is the light you require to push past the “flat land.” Activate your radiance in the dark areas with a new way of exercising the body-temple.

Today’s Meditative Thought: We cannot bring Light to the dark places. It is the Light that is desired in one’s heart. We become influenced by the Divine Presence to transform our lives. It can be a person, place, song, or book that inspires change, but, ultimately, we must be willing to go on the journey of transformation ourselves. As we begin to say yes to the journey, the path becomes lighter. As we move down the road of enlightenment, we begin to know that the Light was always there; we just didn’t know it. The Illuminated life is a journey of attraction; God does not need promotion.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, recognize where the Light is calling for transformation in your life. Be willing to travel the road of enlightenment. Be aware of the dark areas in your life being illuminated with God. Take the time to journal your experience of awakening.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I walk boldly on the path of enlightenment and my pathway is bright, infused with the Light.

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 27 “Oneness”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 27 “Oneness”

Today’s Body Connection: Oneness is the energy of unity, connection to all things. When we work out we must be willing to see the connection of the mind, body, and spirit. A mindful training session is one that effectively uses the mind and the spirit to help you achieve the physical task at hand. We can either zone out while we train, mindlessly moving weights, prone to injury, or we can exercise with the awareness of breathing, movement, and how our body feels. Mindfulness brings your self back to the present moment. Do not lose focus; stay awake and keep the unity consciousness alive.

Meditative Thought: Yoga is the practice of yoking together two things that appear to be different, like strength training and stretching your mind and body. During the practice there comes a time when you become aware that there is no separation of the two, only the unique expression of “The One.” Our prayer time is our commitment to know the power of God that is our lives. This communion with the Universal presence elevates our awareness that our life is the life of God; there is no separation.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, meditate on your oneness with God. Spend time in deep contemplation to up level your consciousness. Take at least ten minutes and be more aware of your connection to your higher self.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am the unique expression of the oneness presence of God. And so I am. 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 19 “Knowledge Is Power”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 19 “Knowledge Is Power”

Today’s Body Connection: Have you ever heard the saying, “Knowledge is power”? This affirmation is the foundation of transformation. When we dedicate ourselves to the practice, we become an open vessel for knowledge. When we begin to study everything fitness-related, we dive into learning more and more about ways to activate our inner strength. We are inspired to make a space for self-exploration so that we may know what works or what form of physical practice inspires us. We empower ourselves with the knowledge of what is healthy eating and what is junk food. It is knowledge that empowers the manifestation of the life that we are meant to live.

Meditative Thought: “Inherent in every desire is the seed of its fulfillment.” — Deepak Chopra. Deepak speaks of faith. Know from the beginning that your prayers are being fulfilled. It is done. It is complete. The Universe never says no; yes is always the answer. Say yes to your highest good. Manifestation doesn’t always look the way we want it to, but it always shows up. Blessings might not show up when we want them to, but they always show up. Have faith that the Universe is working for your highest good. Release your expectations of how God should bless you.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, Pray without expectations, except one: know that God is blessing you right now with a BIG FAT YES!

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I say yes to the Universe and the Universe says yes to me. 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 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 6 “Song of Prayer”

oDAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 6 “Song of Prayer”

Today’s Body Connection: When you work out, try infusing your activity with music. Music can up-level your consciousness while your transform your body. During the fitness classes I teach, music is an essential element to the class. Music helps to keep the rhythm and the pulse of the workout. It can take your mind off the discomfort associated with exercise. The vibration of music can also elevate the energy of the workout session. Music has a way of connecting with the heart chakra, allowing you to feel the energy of love. During your next training session, mindfully choose music that will assist you with the work you have said yes to.

Meditative Thought: Singing is the same as praying twice. The lyrics send out a vibration, accompanied by the vibrations of the melody. Whenever you sing, your vibration is lifted to new heights. The music helps to anchor our spirit. Every song has a message. What song do you sing?

Today’s Action Plan: Today, sing your prayers. It doesn’t matter if you think you can sing or not; it’s about your intentions to elevate your consciousness.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, “Sing, sing a song, make it simple to last the whole day long. Don’t worry that it’s not good enough for anyone else to hear, just sing, sing a song.” Amen
