DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 22 “The Practice of Prayer”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 22 “The Practice of Prayer”

Today’s Body Connection: Have you ever tried praying during your workouts? The power of prayer is empowerment; you feel as if you are connected to something greater than the workout, and you are! The energy of the universe is what fuels your training sessions, so consciously connect with the power the moves you and keep you strong.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Prayer is the practice of aligning our minds and consciousness with the oneness and the unity of God. Affirmative prayer is what we use to remind us of a connection to a source greater than our human incarnation. We need the power that prayer gives us. These words of empowerment keep us awakened to our divinity.

When we set the intention to increase our prayer practice, our life is open to new and amazing possibilities. Contrary to popular belief, prayer is not for God; our prayer life is only for the edification of our souls. Prayer helps us to keep our thoughts and our consciousness open and focused.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set the intention to increase your prayer practice. Whatever it takes, say a prayer everyday to regain your life.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I stand as a prayer warrior. My life is the life of God; therefore I am the prayer of life. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 21 “The Practice of Service”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 21 “The Practice of Service”

Today’s Body Connection: We work out so that we may continue to do the work of the universe. There is a reason for the practice: not to get anything but to give everything. When we choose a life of wholeness, we become a vessel for service. As we become healthy, our body cannot stop us for the work we have said yes to. When we truly wake up, we become aware that we were not created to get anything, but rather that our mission is to give and celebrate our gift by being of service to others. Your physical practice has a deeper meaning than just exercise.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Service is a spiritual practice that anchors our oneness with each other. This practice of serving our fellows starts from the beginning of time. The word “service” means the act of helpful activity. Our divine calling is to be of service to the Universe. When setting the intention to live a spiritual life, service becomes a holy practice.

When we step into service, we activate the energy of love, compassion, joy, and gratitude. When we choose to serve others, we are really serving ourselves. There is only the one power of God, and we are that power in the flesh. Everything we do affects the whole. We must set the intention to be of service. This not only helps us, it sets into motion the healing of the planet.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set the intention to be in service and know the truth. What you do for others, you do for yourself.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am a magnet for service, and I bless the planet with love. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 20 “The Practice of Sacred Study”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 20 “The Practice of Sacred Study”

Today’s Body Connection: Do you truly know yourself? Do you know what is the right physical practice for you? Do you know how and what your body needs to feel better? We must study the body-temple to know what it is we need. Your higher self will tell you exactly what physical practice you need. It takes time and self-exploration to know yourself. Take the time to be with you. You are sacred and divine and you know everything you need to know about you.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Everything that we need to know is within our spirit. Our eternal high self is one with Divine Knowledge. The practice of sacred study is to activate that intelligence that lives within our being. Setting the intention to grow and to expand our consciousness must be followed by the intention to take action through sacred study.

Every time I have an “Ah-Ha” moment, it is anchored by the feeling that I have known that “spiritual nugget” all my life. Whenever I contemplate something that I have read, there is always a deepening of my consciousness, a quickening of my soul. We set the intention to go deep; it is the study that allows the journey. When I hear an inspirational speaker, what resonates with me are the topics that I have already studied. The intention is the key that unlocks the door, but it is the study that helps you to see there are no doors to unlock in the first place.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set the intention to up-level your consciousness with sacred study. Join a class, a study group, or a book study and allow a fellowship of like-minded people take you on a journey of enlightenment.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I embrace the journey of transformation. I activate the divine knowledge that lives within my soul. And so it is. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 19 “The Practice of Giving”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 19 “The Practice of Giving”

Today’s Body Connection: The more you give, the more you get. Set the intention to give more energy, and watch your vitality double. You get out of your session what you put into it.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Today is the day that we set the intention to give more money, time, and our divine qualities that we bring forth. There is power in the act of giving and sharing, activating the law of circulation. What you give away freely, you freely receive. It is so important to remember that we are not here to get anything; we are here to give and share the presence of God that lives within us. The practice of giving is connected to our ability to see our gifts as divine, belonging to the Universe. There is nothing we truly own. All that we have is God’s, and we are only the tools for sharing. When we realize that we have been chosen to be spiritual tools destined to share God, we become free to give. We must release the fear of not having enough and know that everything we have comes from an abundant source of supply that can never run out. Understand that all of your money, all of your time, and all of the divine qualities you bring forth are because of your connection with God. When it is time to give, remember you are only exchanging energy that belongs to Spirit. You are free to give it away, and there is always enough.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set the intention to give more. Be an open vessel for God’s gift to flow freely through you, for you, as you. Begin a practice of prayer and meditation anchoring the truth that there is enough to share and spare.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am the gift of God, and I freely release blessings upon the planet. I am the anchoring of heaven on earth, a divine being pouring out the gifts of the Universe everywhere I go. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 18 “The Practice of Affirmations”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 18 “The Practice of Affirmations”

Today’s Body Connection: During your workout only use language that affirms the positive.

Today’s Meditative Thought: The power of the “spoken word” is deep and transformative. The bible verse that begins “John” is, “In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God.” This declaration helps us to set the intention to be mindful of what we say. The words that we speak are the words of the divine. We are the mouthpieces of God, and we have a responsibility to speak words that will inspire, to use language that carries a vibration that will uplift all that hear it.

It is not only what is spoken that matters; it is also what is heard that has an equal effect. Affirmations are a practice that helps to align your thinking and your emotions. When an affirmative word of truth is spoken consistently, there is a shift in our consciousness. When the truth is spoken and we truly hear what is being said, we are open to a shift within our DNA. We change on a cellular level. We not only have a shift of consciousness, but our subconscious is open for a shift. A repetition of the practice of speaking affirmations, hearing them, and contemplating the truth will lead to your expansion and growth.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, begin your practice of daily mantras and affirmations that will remind you of who and what you are.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, my life is a living expression of the Holy Spirit, and I live these words of truth with gusto. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 17 “The Meditation Practice”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 17 “The Meditation Practice”

Today’s Body Connection: Fitness can be the act of meditation. When we are mindful of how the body-temple moves, we are in the practice of meditation. The practice of body awareness starts with a mental connection to how the body feels in the present moment. We must not judge the body; just stay aware and witness what is happening during your workout. We must not call it good or bad; the body is neutral, having an experience. Stay awake to any energy you might experience during your walk or run. Be aware of any internal messages your body is telling you during your fitness session. If you are open and willing to hear, you will know everything you need to know to empower and transform your life. It begins with mindfulness; it begins with meditation.

Today’s Meditative Thought: The word “meditation” means mindful listening or awareness. Meditation is the time we set aside during the day to go within and hear the voice of God. The only way we can truly experience the Universal presence is through meditation. It is in the stillness that we shall know the Universal Flow.

My favorite movie is “The Color Purple.” At the end of the film, the song Shug and a glorious choir sings is “Maybe God Is Trying to Tell You Something.” The chorus repeats, “Maybe God is trying to tell you something.” Whenever I hear it I am reminded that God is always speaking to us, but we are not always listening.

When we are quiet and still, that is the time we commune with Spirit; that is the only time we are available to truly hear what needs to be heard. We must set the intention to be still every day. It is the consistency of an everyday practice that helps us to build our spiritual consciousness along with our dedication to see God unfold. When we are present and listening — it may be during a conversation, during fellowship, or when we are alone — our life opens up to a deeper dimension. Be present, be awake, hear the message of the heart, and it will transform your life.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set the intention to meditate. For the next 30 days, set an appointment with God. Find the time to be still. It could be five minutes, 30 minutes, or an hour; it does not matter. Just do it. Take the time to sit and listen. Don’t think, don’t create a shopping list, and don’t worry about where you need to be next. Just listen. Listen to your breathing, listen to your heartbeat, and listen to nature. Be present and be aware during the time you have allotted for the stillness. This is a sacred time, a precious moment in eternity. The practice of meditation will change your life.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am the emanation of God, blessed and filled with love. My meditation practice fuels my life and I am everything I desire to be. And so is it. And so it is. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 16 “Knowing More of the Light”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 16 “Knowing More of the Light”

Today’s Body Connection: The light is always shining within our soul but it’s not always evident to others or to us. The physical activity of fitness ignites the lamp, allowing us to radiate illumination.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Today is the day we set the intention to know more of the light of God. As I have discussed before, intention setting is the process of being more, to grow more. The word “intention” means to be more, to stretch. There are two questions I ask my students during yoga instruction: “Where have you not gone today regarding your mind, body, or spirit?” and “How can you stretch yourself during this pose?” Like in yoga, we must ask the questions that will allow us to expand and do the inquiry of self that will initiate a deeper shift in consciousness. When we desire to know more of the Light, we are asking to have a greater experience in God.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, ask the question that will allow you to experience more God. Ask the Universe to make itself evident in your life. Each time you are challenged, simply say, “Show me more light.”

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I reveal the presence of God and the Universe guides every step I take. And so it is. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 15 “Writing Your Divine Story”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 15 “Writing Your Divine Story”

Today’s Body Connection: What is your divine story about your body? Is it a body of God, filled with infinite possibilities, or is it weak and limited? You get to decide. Today, write your legacy: what will you be about?

Today’s Meditative Thought: Set the intention to write your divine story. So many of us continue to be the author of lack, limitation, and misery, and we call it our life or our story. That is not our real story; it is only a mistruth we have decided to take on as our identity. This tale of doom and gloom is not your destiny; it is not your birthright. You are a spiritual, divine emanation of the Universe able to do all things with the awareness of the Christ Consciousness that lives within you. Set the intention to rewrite your story. By releasing your history, there becomes room to receive what God has in store for us; blessings we have yet to see. When we hold on to the old tapes, there is no room to grow and transform. Release your story and embrace the glory of God.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, write your divine story. Begin to journal; write out the blessings that is your life. Begin by simply stating the truth: I am love. That is your true story.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, there is only a divine story that is my life. I am moving, living, and having my being in God; therefore my only story is blessings. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 14 “Knowing Your Abundance”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 14 “Knowing Your Abundance”

Today’s Body Connection: Fitness and health is an abundant state of mind, a consciousness that comes from an awakening from within. Today, set the intention to walk with the sole purpose of the activation of abundance within your life. Stretch to know more flexibility and the movement of the spirit. Do your pushups to experience more in your daily existence. Your abundance, like your state of health, comes from your consciousness. You are what you think you are.

Today’s Meditative Thought: There is nothing that the Universe withholds from us. The Universe is always blessing us with more of itself; more love, more abundance, more joy, more peace, more compassion, and more life. The real key to receiving spiritual gifts is the awareness of their existence. The activity of God is grace, the gift of the Divine itself. Grace is the awareness that God is in action, is in order, and it is in balance working for our highest good. There is always an abundance of Grace waiting to be poured upon us, as much as our consciousness will allow. The blessing can only be received as much as we believe. We must set the intention to know the abundance of God that is our life.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, know your abundance. Take the time to contemplate the plentitude of the Universe. Think of the unending blessings of God. That is what you have; that is what you are.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I live a life of unending blessings. My every move is fueled with grace and all is well. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 13 “Oneness with God”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 13 “Oneness with God”

Today’s Body Connection: Every fitness training session brings us closer to God.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Setting the intention to manifest the life we want begins with knowing your connection with the universal power. A daily practice of anchoring our oneness with God is the only true action required for manifestation. Because God is the source of our life, it is that awareness that empowers our desires. There are three principles for manifestation: The first truth of manifestation is the understanding of the incorporeal essence of God that governs the corporeal nature of man. Whatever it is that we wish to manifest for our life, God is the source. The second truth is what we want for our life we must be willing to become. If we want love, we must be willing to become love. If we want abundance, we must become an opening for prosperity. God can only do for us that which we will allow God to do through us. The third spiritual principle for manifestation is the awareness that we are not here to get anything; we are here to release the presence of God that lives within us.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, every hour on the hour speak a simple mantra that reminds you that you are one with God. Create an affirmation that anchors your awareness that God lives within you. It should be easy to remember and filled with passion, e.g., “God is, I am,” or “My Life is the life of God.” For the next 30 days build a consciousness with statements of truth.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am one with God and life is good. Amen.
