Monday Meditative Thought – Download Directions of the Devine

This week’s meditation thought will focus on what I like to call the triple “D’s” or the “Download Directions of the Devine” Much like the multitude of gadgets that aim to keep us focused, we should also tune ourselves for insight and revelations to help us focus our shift and transform our lives. This Download Directions of the Devine is attained via a practice of prayer, meditation, and sacred study. Take a minute, two, five or what you can spare and start. It is through these Aha moments that give us the opportunities to be present and awake and ask God for the insights you need to change your life.

This week’s Action Plan: All this weeks look for divine guidance for transformation or triple D’s. Taking those moments you set aside and begin contemplating your next steps via prayer, meditation and sacred study, and begin to outline the goal plus obstacles needed to overcome that which you are seeking.

Peace and blessings,

Monday Meditative Thought – Be Still and Know

As we begin a new week, we’ll start our meditation by focusing around the theme of Being Still and Knowing God’s voice. So let’s begin by taking a deep breath and by being still and know that God wants to have a private encounter with you on a daily basis. Know that it is by the practice of meditation that He helps you to embrace your greatness. When we choose the path of stillness we will know the power that sustains us.

This week’s Meditative Action Plan: All this week meditate to be still and know that God is God. It is through 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.

Monday Meditative Thought – Something New To Learn

Monday’s Meditative Thought:

As we start our week, I would like to focus on one of the definitions of humility which is to be teachable. When we remain humble, the Universe will teach us everything we need to know. In every situation we can expand our consciousness and awaken divine knowledge that is within us. As a spiritual counselor, it is fulfilling to help someone activate personal growth. But the truth is we all have our own guides within ourselves. Your greatest teacher is you. When we do the spiritual work of meditation, prayer, study, fellowship, and service, we strengthen our relationship with God, which opens our teachable space. The knowledge of the Universe is within; it just needs to be cultivated. Any decision or question that needs an answer has a direct connection to your personal guide. It’s like having your own “Bat Phone.” Have faith in your own revelations. Trust that the Universe within you speaks words of guidance and love. Stay open and set the intention to learn something new everyday.

Monday Meditative Thought – Pushing Restart

Monday Meditative Thought: I hope that everyone had a little rest and relaxation over Mother’s Day weekend. Sometimes, especially at the beginning of a week we just need to push restart. On those days the activities of our life can be so challenging that it feels like a downward spiral. These are the times we get to do what I call a “spiritual do-over.” We can always push the restart button and begin again. When we are faced with difficulty, we can go to the secret place within our hearts and simply breathe. By stopping and taking a moment to be still, we will find the peace that seems to elude us. Our restart always begins by turning to God. By pushing the restart button we will know inner peace and serenity and our day will be brand new.

Monday Meditative Thought – Celebrating a New Communication

Monday Meditative Thought: If we believe that God is everywhere active, then God is present and active within ourselves.
So many times we forget that simple sacred principle. The Omni presence of the Universe means that there is nowhere that God is not. When we become aware of this truth, we begin to see with our third eye, our spiritual eye, and we move with a new focus. Remembering that God is always active changes our language. We will change how we talk to others and to ourselves. A question that keeps us aligned and awake is, “Would I talk about God that way?” When we are in conversation with someone or even talking to ourselves, check in with the language and how we choose to communicate. Remember that God is always listening.

21 Day Meditation Experience – Day 7

Day 7 – Finding Consciousness

Congratulations! Today, we complete the first week of our journey together. In these few days, we have connected to the core energies of who we really are. As we align with these natural energy currents we open to a life flowing with peace, joy, and fulfillment. By tapping in, one-by-one, we have learned how to directly access our natural state of security, happiness, strength, passion, creativity, and wisdom. These qualities are always present—what you are experiencing this week is the power of your authentic self.

Today we explore our true self as light. Light is around us and within us—it is our guide on the path toward self-realization. Light is what triggers us to wake every morning, allowing us to see . . . dissipating the darkness and shadows. As we open to the light within, we connect to the divine light that illuminates our soul, awakening us to our real Self, and the light that connects all things. We find that we are one light connected to all light, universal connection, and consciousness. As this energy is awakened, there is no more searching or striving. Experiencing yourself as infinite consciousness is the state of enlightenment. – Oprah Winfrey and Deepak Chopra

Today’s Quote

“Once the soul awakens, the search begins and you can never go back.” ―John O’Donohue

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 SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 19 “Question That Helps Us”

Meditative Thought: When we ask the big questions, like, “Who am I?” “Where can I shine the light?” “How can I serve?” we must expect an answer. Contemplation of these life-changing questions brings a deeper awareness of our own divinity. Our answers will be found in meditation. When we take the time to be still and listen, the answers we seek will always come. These questions help us to see God. This type of inquiry is the first step to an enlightened life. Enlightenment is already within us; these questions help us to recognize it. Today be willing to go within and ask the questions.
