DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 15 – “Low State or High State”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 15 – “Low State or High State”

Today’s Body Connection: Remember, living a healthy life is based on awareness, a divine mindfulness that you cannot separate the mind from the body and the body from the spirit. It is all connected. Health and fitness is a higher state of consciousness. When we eat, we must remember that it is a spiritual experience. Not only do we pray and thank God for the food we are about to receive, but eating is also about nourishment of the body-temple, home of your spirit. Our fitness has more than a superficial meaning, if we choose. There is a difference between working out to know your divinity and working out to get into your skinny jeans. It’s not about wrong our or right, just different levels of consciousness. It’s about our awareness and our intentions. To know your divine self is a high state of consciousness; to drop a dress size or two is a low state of consciousness. The higher state will always bring us inner peace, while the lower state’s recompense is fleeting and disappointing. Choose the higher state.

Today’s Meditative Thought: The low state of consciousness is when we are asleep to the greatness that is within ourselves. The high state of consciousness is when this greatness is activated and in use. Today is the day we wake up and set the planet ablaze. It is time to transform our world and it begins with you.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember you can be in a low state of consciousness or a high state of consciousnesses. Today is a day of awareness. Stay awake!

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember the time to transform is now. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 14 – “Let Your Shift Shine ”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 14 – “Let Your Shift Shine ”

Today’s Body Connection: Remember, everything you do is to enhance your life. Your transformation is for the purpose of “having life and life more abundantly.” When a shift happens on the outside, it is in direct relationship to the shift that is happening on the inside. There is a vibration and a light that you will shine. You will radiate Joy and, in turn, you will receive more Joy. It is the Law of Radiance; what you radiate you will receive back. Your workout will allow you to activate the best in your life. When you feel strong and healthy you inspire the people around you. Let your transformation shine; not only will people notice the physical change, they will see the light return to your eyes.

Today’s Meditative Thought: It’s up to you to bring your own Joy. Don’t wait for someone else to bring it; you could be waiting a long time. Joy is what you are, so activate it.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that the only thing that is missing in your relationship is what you aren’t bringing. Your relationship is a reflection of your inner awareness. What you see as missing, is your invitation. If you see a lack of love, be more loving. If joy is what you think is missing, be more joyful. Bring the peace where you see chaos. It is up to you.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember to bring everything that is needed in all my relationships. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 10 – “Never Alone”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 10 – “Never Alone”

Today’s Body Connection: Sometimes it might appear that you are the only one in your life trying to get in shape. You might think that you are the only one on a diet, or that you are the only person in the world trying to loose 20 pounds. Remember, when you say yes to transformation, you are supported by the Universe; you are not alone. Your intention to be more is your membership in a very exclusive club; you are a part of a tribe that is awake and aware. There are millions of enlightened beings running side by side with you as you travel the road of illumination. Surround yourself with like-minded people who share your desire to grow. Connect with people who inspire you and help to up-level your consciousness. Make friends with folks at your gym. Take the time to search for people who are living the life you want. My mother always says, “If you hang out with nine unhealthy people, sooner or later you will become the tenth.” You are not alone so you might as well travel with your kindred spirits. Remember, fellowship is key to your transformation.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Don’t be afraid to be by yourself. Sometimes we need our “me time” to reconnect with our “God time.” Be free to remove the distractions of life. Take the time to simply get away and abide in God. But remember the truth: you are never alone. You are connected to God and the Universe. Everywhere you go you are a part of the collective.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that “alone” is different than “lonely.” The light is everywhere that you are, so, really, we can never be truly alone. The action plan for today is simple: know your connection to the Universe. Every chance you get, remind yourself that you are connected.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember that I am never alone; God is always with me. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 9 – “Downloads From God”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 9 – “Downloads From God”

Today’s Body Connection: Have you asked God for an insight on how to train your body-temple? We have the capability to download all the information we need to create a successful physical practice. Remember, you are connected to an all-powerful energy that knows all things, and it knows what you need. We have so many choices for the physical practice; we just need to be mindful. We ask the Universe for direction and guidance on most things, so why not download your physical activity? Remember, every day is different, so you can have a new physical practice every day. Maybe Monday is a walking day and Tuesday is a dance class day. Maybe Wednesday you get the download to go swimming and Thursday could be weight-training day. We live in a universe filled with infinite possibilities and that include your workouts.

Today’s Meditative Thought: There is a reason why you downloaded the vision. Now, what are you going to do with it? Will you let the vision sit in the back of your head and fade away, or will you step out with faith and see it come to life? “Anything you can envision, you can make happen with intention and a strong game plan.” Time to put into action your divine download. Believe that it can be done with the power of the Universe that lives within you.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that every idea downloaded from the mind of God has meaning. Write them down so you don’t forget. Start your journal of Divine Ideas. On the page, write out your action plan. There is something you can do every day to bring your vision to light. Begin with something simple, like prayer, meditation, or making a phone call to someone who is already doing the work.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember that I am the divine idea of God. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 4 – “Be Still and Know”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 4 – “Be Still and Know”

The Body Connection: Remember, yoga is our invitation to slow down and be present. The asana position, also known as the stillness, requires us to stop and connect with the body and/or something greater. During yoga practice, it is the stillness that invites us to know our divine self. The physical practice of yoga is a metaphorical battle with the big self and the ego. Our soul’s desire is to know serenity and peace, to release the chaotic activity of the mental mind. The Bhagavad Gita, sacred scriptures for the yoga practice, say, “When thy mind, that may be wavering in the contradictions of many scriptures, shall rest unshaken in divine contemplation, then the goal of Yoga is thine.” In other words, if we can allow our thoughts to fall into God, we will know our connection to our higher self.

Meditative Thought: God wants to have a private encounter with your soul on a daily basis. It is the practice of meditation that helps you to embrace your greatness. When we choose the path of stillness we will know the power that sustains us.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember to be still and know that God is God. It is the stillness that brings a deeper awareness of our unity with the Holy Spirit. Take the time to sit in the secret garden of your consciousness.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember to be still and know that God is everything. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 30 “God’s Time”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 30 “God’s Time”

The Body Connection: Our biggest lessons on this path of the body connection are simple: 1. Fitness is a journey with no destination and no time limits. It is a practice required for the rest of our existence on this side of life. 2. We must release the goal of looking like something or someone to measure our health and fitness. What we see in the magazine or how another appears to us is our own perception. 3. Love yourself through every step of the journey. 4. Do not put a time limit on your fitness. When we use a time marker to drop a certain amount of pounds, we set ourselves up for failure. During your journey to or back to fitness, recognize that you are in God’s perfect time and that in that space all things are happening exactly how they need to work. Everything happens in God’s time, so stop looking for shortcuts.

Meditative Thought: Surrender to God’s time. Sometimes we want our blessings when we want them. But God’s time is infinite, so our blessings are happening right now. In our human mind we have created ideas for what our blessings should look like and when they should happen. Take God out of your personal box. No matter what our goals, desires, or intentions are, we must release our personal timeline. The Universe does not work on our terms. God is an all-powerful, all-knowing life force that has it in control. Once we recognize that God just is, without conditions or favorites, and is not handing out blessings faster to those who worship more, we will free up the divine flow to happen in our lives.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, free your mind to the infinite outpouring of God’s Love. Meditate on the simple manta, “Everything is happing in divine perfect timing.” Know that your transformation is happening at the pace it needs to happen. Journey any thoughts or insights that might come up before, during, and after meditation. It is important for you to keep a record of all your Ah-ha moments.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I free my mind with the love of God. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 27 “Surrender to Absolute Power”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 27 “Surrender to Absolute Power”

The Body Connection: When we are mindful of what we put into our bodies, we begin the process of surrendering to God. Mindful eating accounts for 65% to 75% of health and fitness, and our journeys are fueled by what we eat. What we consume will affect the way our body acts, moves, and feels. A simple rule of thumb is if you want to feel alive, eat living foods. The nature of the Universe is perfect and absolute, so nature provides everything we need to survive. Live food has the nutrients we need for healthy living. Also, if we want to burn fat, we must burn calories. Eating less and being active is the key. Your eating is a spiritual experience if you allow it to be. Eat with a purpose; mindfully nourish the body-temple and commune with your higher self. Every morsel of living food comes from Source, designed to support you on your journey.

Meditative Thought: True power comes from surrendering to an absolute presence that is greater than our human incarnation. As you begin to grow spiritually, you will see that everything returns to God. Every situation is an opportunity to remember that the answer always lies within you. Connect with the Universal presence that is your essence. Allow the Universe to be the solution to all your challenges.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, make God bigger than your problems. When you become overwhelmed with all the things that are required for your personal transformation, remind yourself that God is bigger than all of this and that you are supported. Today, use affirmations to keep you on track.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am one with God, and I am blessed. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 26 ”Love, the Greatest Healer”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 26 ”Love, the Greatest Healer”

The Body Connection: One of the issues we face when starting a workout program is that we don’t like the way we look. We begin to associate what we look like with how we should feel. We allow our self-love to be conditional based upon our current dress or shirt size. The challenge is to love our self from the jump. If we allow our external appearance to affect how we feel, we will not achieve inner peace because it was contingent on an external goal. We must infuse our workouts with Love. We must learn to love our self from the beginning to the end. Self-love should be the one and only goal for our transformation. Stay focus on the real intention, self-love and that is the greatest healer of all.

Meditative Thought: Love is an all-powerful source that is the essence of our life. We are made from love, created to know more of it. When we are in the middle of disease, a lack of ease in the mind, body, and/or spirit, it is Love that restores us back to health. Love is the greatest healer but we must be willing to allow the healing to happen through love. Every thing, every situation, every person is a reminder of love or a call for Love. Whenever we choose to transform our minds, bodies, or spirits, the journey is a return to self-love. The Course in Miracles says that there are only two thoughts: a thought of fear or a thought of love. Our yes to renew our selves is a yes to reconnect with our true nature of Love, which is the only healing that we need.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, surrender to Love. Mindfully move through your day by asking the question, “Am I acting from love or am I acting from fear?” It doesn’t matter what you are doing—working, interacting with a co-worker, driving down the highway—be aware of where you are doing it from.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I move, live, and have my being in Love. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 23 “No Half Steppin’”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 23 “No Half Steppin’”

The Body Connection: When training the body you need to do it with a full heart. If you come half steppin’,mediocre results is what you will get. Training the body-temple needs your full presence and energy. What you put into your training is what you will get back. Dedication is the energy that will take you from your intention to achieving your goals. You must be willing to see it through. If it 20 pounds you need to lose, don’t stop until you reach that goal. One step at a time is all that is required but be dedicated for that one step. Maintain a stay with it attitude no matter what, and soon you will see miracles unfold.

Meditative Thought: God is everything or God is not. There is no “half steppin’” in God. God is or God is not. What consciousness are you surrendered to? Jesus, the master teacher, taught us that it is done, as we believe. If we believe that God is in all things, than that is what we will see.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, make a choice, and stick with it. Take a breath and decide to fully commit to your transformation. Write in your journal ten things you can do to help your transformation.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I know that God is all that there is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 22 “Humility”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 22 “Humility”

The Body Connection: One of the things that we strive for is balance, physically, mentally, and spiritually. During our journey toward a more fit life, balance or the lack of balance can bring us to a place of humility. Have you ever been in a yoga class and a very challenging yoga pose has brought you to your knees? And those squats and lunges during your strength-training sessions can challenge you beyond belief. Even the simple act of standing on one foot with your eyes closed will show you the need to work on your balance. The secret to achieving balance is to become the balance, and that is an inside job. When working on your physical practice, remind yourself that balance comes from a place of center within. Not matter what form of balance you are striving for; it comes from inside of you. Balance is a feeling that can only be achieved in the practice of stillness. True balance is achieved when we humble ourselves to the practice of mindfulness. Stay teachable as you awaken to the balance that is within you.

Meditative Thought: Humility is fully surrendering to God, allowing us to be teachable to the lesson that we have said yes to. Because we are the likeness, and an idea in the mind of God, we are not limited to the growth we can experience. The lesson today is humility to feel balanced. Every lesson leads us to a deeper awareness for God within, which is always in order and balanced.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remain teachable; humble yourself to the divine lessons of life. Mindfully ask the question, “What am I to learn from this situation?” or “What is seeking to emerge from this challenge?” When the answers come, write in down so you don’t forget. During your time of the physical, mental, our spiritual practices, explore, contemplate and cultivate these expansive questions. Keep a record of all you divine downloads; this record of enlighten can be used in moments of forgetfulness.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I say yes to the expansion of my soul. I am humble and teachable and ready to learn. And so it is. Amen
