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

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 21 “Fully Committed”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 21 “Fully Committed”

The Body Connection: When we think of the main components of fitness, we must remember stretching. A fully committed practice incorporates not just the part we like but every element: cardio, strength training, mindful eating, and stretching. After working the body we must remember that stretching not only helps the healing, but it also allows our limbs to have a greater range of motion. I call stretching the appetizer and the desert of fitness. A divine stretch should sandwich each workout. Upon waking, a large glass of water and a morning stretch are a great way to start your day. One of the greatest tools for stretching is Yoga, the physical preparation for meditation; but remember, you do not have to attend a yoga class to practice yoga. Any time is a good time for a downward dog. If you want a body-temple that moves with ease and grace, commit to increasing its flexibility. Jump in fully and surrender to every aspect that is required to be fit; stretching is the key that can open the door to a new way of life.

Meditative Thought: Reverend Cheryl Ward once said to me, “You cannot jump into the river and get a little wet.” We must understand that we can’t just play in the river of life a little. Once we have said yes, we must fully commit to the journey. When we have one foot in the door and one foot out, we create a life of confusion and frustration. God is calling us to a place of full surrender. Because our life is the life of Spirit, let go and let God be your life.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, jump into the river and begin to swim with the stroke of devotion. Fully commit to your practice, whether it be physical, mental, or spiritual. Fully surrender and jump in with no hesitation. Move with a full heart.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I jump into the ocean of devotion and I am wet with God’s love. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 20 “True Strength Training, True Healing”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 20 “True Strength Training, True Healing”

The Body Connection: The purpose of resistance training is to strengthen your muscles, joints, and skeletal system by placing stress on the body. With the use of weights; bands and or your own body weight, this physical practice breaks down the body so that during rest time, it gets stronger. Resistance training is important to combat obesity, fatigue, osteoporosis and any physical disease that we might experience. Like spiritual work, strength training sometimes is neglected because of lack of knowledge. You don’t need a gym, just your willingness to get strong. The simple act of standing and sitting in a chair or walking steps will make all the difference. Here are a few easy ways to strengthen you temple. Try standing and sitting in a chair 20 times, 3 time a day. Guess what? You are doing squats. Take the step instead of the elevator; you are build strong legs. Try 2 or 3 standing push-ups. Face the wall with yours hand on the wall, bend and straiten your elbow to complete a push up or what I call a push away. Feel the power that lives in you. Just 10 sit-ups, 3 times a day will activate healing in the body. That old set of dumbbells in the closet or the garage is calling your name. You can always take baby steps. Once you begin your practice you will feel better; you will see yourself in a new light, and that is true healing. This physical activity also allows us to connect with our inner strength. Today, I invite you to start your strength training.

Meditative Thought: When we think of healing, most of us think of the physical, but true healing is always about the spirit. What block our revelation of inner strength are old paradigms that there is something wrong. The truth is every practice, mental, physical, and spiritual are design for us to know our own divinity. But surrendering to a divine idea comes at a price. We must let go of everything and everyone that no longer serves the purpose of our growth.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, allow true healing to be your vision. Begin a resistance-training program with the intention to connect with your inner strength. Before or after your meditation, do a push up, sit up and or squat. Connect your physical strength with your spiritual strength.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, every step I take is infused with the power of God. I allow my highest potential to come forth as I live my greatest life yet to be seen. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 13 “Surrender to the Mind of God”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 13 “Surrender to the Mind of God”

The Body Connection: Our body is the human incarnation of the mind of God and it requires a physical practice. Its condition is based on the commitment to taking care of it. Daily exercise, mindful eating, and an affirmative mind are the keys to holistic transformation. Every day is a great day to start; just commit and set the intention to be mindful of your physical incarnation of the Divine.

Meditative Thought: There are times we cannot experience the goodness of life. Our human condition is so overwhelming and we think that nothing will change. We must surrender to the mind of God. Wholeness is a consciousness we can only see with the eyes of God. As we physically transform our body, we must align our thinking with the Universe. We must build a consciousness that allows us to receive our blessings.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, surrender to the work that builds a consciousness to receive kindness and compassion. Along with the physical practice of exercise and mindful eating, prayer and meditation is as important for the transformation. Before you start your daily physical routine, take the time to be still, say a prayer, and anchor your awareness in the Divine.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, the power of God is in?? my life. I am blessed and highly favored. My body is the expression of the Universe and wholeness is the order of the day. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 11 “Surrender to Grace”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 11 “Surrender to Grace”

The Body Connection: As we begin the journey to transform the body-temple, there is a requirement of surrender. There are days when you might not want to get up and get moving, but it is a must. Every day the body not only requires exercise, it craves it. There are no shortcuts around getting in shape; it is challenging and sometimes uncomfortable but the payoff is so worth it. Remember your promise to yourself to stay active and to live a healthier lifestyle. The Universe has your back and you are supported. So wake up and get moving; walk, run, dance, work out, and connect with your divine self. Once you surrender to the work, you will find the grace that is sufficient.

Meditative Thought: When we surrender to the will of God, this is the practice of allowing grace to flow as our life. Grace is the easy movement of the Universe, the unobstructed blessing in our life. Begin to align your thoughts with your commitment to a healthier way of life

Today’s Action Plan: Today, surrender to the flow of Grace. As you work out, use a mantra that reminds you of how strong you are. A simple affirmation will do the job: “I am strong and filled with Grace.” Keep a daily journal of your “Ah-ha” moment as you continue on your journey.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am strong, powerful, and one with Grace. I bless my journey as I live my greatest life. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 10 “Surrender to the Stillness”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 10 “Surrender to the Stillness”

Meditative Thought: We can only truly know God in the stillness. Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still, and know that I am God.” The Psalmist had the experience that God would be known in the quiet time of meditation. Our recognition of God is deepened through our time spent in the stillness. We must surrender to the practice of knowing and experiencing God through the silence.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, surrender to the activity of knowing God and allow it to be your first priority.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I stand on holy ground and my journey is blessed. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 27 “Sharing Your Inner Vision ”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 27 “Sharing Your Inner Vision ”

Meditative Thought: Today is the day to empower yourself and share your talents. Some of us have gifts that we take for granted or have talked ourselves out of sharing. What talent has Spirit placed in your heart that you are keeping for yourself? There are some who give freely to the collective. Thank you; you inspire the rest of us. But there are others with many gifts to share but who live in the mindset of “I am not good enough”, stepped beyond fear. Like the Nike add says, “Just Do It.” We need your blessing. We need your inspiration. Our evolution depends on each and every person expressing his or her talents. It is already good enough; it is already perfect in the Mind of God. Trust and don’t judge yourself. Spread your wings and fly. Your destiny is calling; will you answer?

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, share your gift with one other person, then journal about the experience.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am the tool that uplifts this planet. And so I am. And so I let it be. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 19 “The Power Is Grace”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 19 “The Power Is Grace”

Meditative Thought: When we are empowered, life feels easy. But we must remember that the power we feel is God in action; grace is unfolding. Grace is how easy God makes our life flow. When we are in the divine zone, we are empowered to do anything and everything. Surrendering to the movement of God and stepping out of the way allows us to see Grace and to know that God is activated within our lives. When we connect with Grace we connect with the generosity of Spirit, a capacity to embrace love and to truly feel the power.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, step out of the way and allow grace to unfold. Take the time to be mindful of God in action. At the end of the day journal about your experience.

Affirmation: Just for this moment… just for this breath, I am free to activate God. I am free to see Power and Grace moving in my life.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 18 “Compassion and Empowerment”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 18 “Compassion and Empowerment”

Meditative Thought: One of the greatest tools of empowerment is the ability to help someone. The truth is, when we help someone we help ourselves. We are connected through the divine love of God, and our nature is to reach out and to be of service. As we walk this path of enlightenment, we get to examine the true meaning of compassion. Compassion and Love is seeing someone as our self, and only wanting the best for him or her. In the movie Avatar, the essence of the film was expressed in a simple line: “I see you.” Compassion is seeing that someone is hurting and saying, “How can I help?” But all love and compassion begins with self and ends with self. If we are challenged with showing compassion, we must check in with ourselves and ask, “Where am I in need of compassion?” When we are kind to ourselves that is true empowerment.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, set the intention to be compassionate with yourself. Write yourself a letter of compassion around an issue that is challenging. Write the letter without getting lost in the story. Today’s assignment is to love yourself without attachment to your feelings. The practice is to learn true compassion and become an effective tool for healing.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am free to activate God. I am free to show compassion to others and myself.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 17 “The Faucet of Abundance”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 17 “The Faucet of Abundance”

Meditative Thought: The Flow of abundance is like a faucet that will flow as long as it is open. What opens the flow is our consciousness. Our empowerment comes from awareness that God’s abundance is always active. When we know that there is a never-ending flow of God in our life, we know that we can do anything. When the faucet of Abundance is turned on, the water of blessings is always flowing, allowing us to bring forth our greatest yet to be. Our work is to connect and stay connected with Source. The power to do what we have come to the planet to do fuels our every step. Turn on God’s abundance within your life.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, turn on your faucet of abundance. Create an affirmation that anchors your willingness to receive the all-good grace of The Universe. You affirmation should be to the point, an affirmative statement of the truth of your intention. For example, it could read like, “I am open and willing to receive my blessings.” Repeat your affirmation every hour on the hour until you know it by heart, and then say it again. Have fun!

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am free to activate God. I allow the “Divine Water” of creativity to flow. I am free to be my greatest yet to be. And so it is. Amen
