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

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 5 “Higher Communication”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 5 “Higher Communication”

Today’s Body Connection: What is the body? This is the question that we must answer and remember on a daily basis. The body is a temple for your spirit. We must come to the realization that we are more than just bones and muscles and that our purpose expands far beyond what we can see. When we truly know who and what we are, transformation becomes a priority. We must take care of our body-temple so that we may do the work that we have said yes to. The practice of good stewardship of this gift called life is a sacred act; let’s not take it lightly.

Meditative Thought: When is a good time for prayer? Prayer is our communication with our inner spirit, our time with God. Prayer is our anchor in the rocky sea of life. Our spiritual work should be centered on praying without ceasing. It’s not easy, but it will expand or consciousness. Because we are one with the Universe we have a choice about how we approach every situation. We can show up as the Divine, and speak the words that affirm that connection. Remember, you are God speaking to God, words from God, to God. It’s about your awareness. Every moment can be a moment of constant communication with Spirit.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, let’s be mindful of what we say, how we say it, and to whom we are saying it. Be in constant prayer. Speak words that uplift vibrations. Take the time to meditate on your experience. See what new insights arise for you.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I speak only words that uplift my mind, body, and spirit. And so it is.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 4 “Freedom”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 4 “Freedom”

Today’s Body Connection: The reason for exercising the body is to activate freedom within our lives. When the body hinders us, our “dis-ease” is all we think about. When de-condition is the way of life, it has a way of dimensioning our hope. Allow your physical practice the opportunity to improve your quality of life. You are worth it. The goal is always to feel better. Today set the intention to improve your life with a strong physical practice.

Meditative Thought: Affirmative Prayer is the practice of freedom. When we speak an affirmation or affirmative prayer we choose to co-creation with the Universe. When we speak with authority we begin to lose the chains of bondage. Praying to a God outside of us, hoping that a blessing will come…is powerless. When we realize our oneness with the Universe, we empower our lives. Affirmative Prayer is the knowing that you have everything you need and that you’re free to live your fullest life.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, pray to a God that lives within you. Speak to Spirit like you would to an old friend, because it is. The Universe has been with you since before time, and it will never leave you.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I pray to God that lives within me. I am one with infinite Spirit. I allow my prayers to activate Divine inspiration in my life. And so it is. Amen
