DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 11 – “Be Clear”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 11 – “Be Clear”

Today’s Body Connection: When we choose to transform the body-temple, we must be clear about our intentions. What is it that you want? I invite you to be clear about the intention. Sometimes we say, “I just want to get into my skinny jeans,” but it is more than that. Go deeper. Go beyond the surface. Dropping a dress size would be great, but what does that really mean? If you loose the weight, you will feel better, you will be able to do the things you have come to this planet to do. If you embrace a healthy way of life, you will be more productive and active. Reducing your blood pressure means you can spend more time enjoying life and less time taking medication to sustain life. Connect with the “underneath vibration” of the intention for transforming your body-temple.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Be clear about what it is you want. Transformation requires clarity. When you are in the midst of a shift, your intention will see you through. There are challenges and there are bumpy roads, but if you are focused, you can make it through anything. Change requires ‘work-play’, but it is worth it

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set your intention for the transformation you desire, and have faith it will be done. Then actively let it go and let the universe take over. Take a breath and say, “I release and I let go.” Journal about the release process and any insights you might have.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment… just for this breath, I set the intention to transform into what I am meant to be. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 10 – “The Jumpstart”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 10 – “The Jumpstart”

Today’s Body Connection: The fitness “jumpstart” is that surge of energy you get before you start your practice. Truth be told, it is the up-leveling of your vibration, fueled with your intention. It is the moment you have agreed to get out of bed and exercise. It is the moment you choose an apple over a candy bar. It is that second you become aware that your transformation is about the inside and how you feel. Your “jumpstart” is the moment you say yes to allowing yourself to be whole and complete.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Transformation can be empowered with your words, thoughts, and language. Use affirmations like, “I can,” “I will,” and “I am able,” to jumpstart your life. Our mental enthusiasm will fuel all our intentions.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, speak only words that up-level your transformation. Consciously move through your day with the awareness that your language coagulates into your existence. Be aware of each time you feel that surge of energy, the moment you know you have committed to your yes. Acknowledge your moments of awakening.

Affirmation: Just for this moment… just for this breath, I jumpstart my transformation with the power of Love. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 7 – “Peace”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 7 – “Peace”

Today’s Body Connection: Today is the day we connect with the peace of transformation. When a training session is uncomfortable, we must look for the peace. When a yoga pose feels unachievable, stop fighting and make peace with it. When you are only halfway through your cardio workout and you want to give up, embrace the second half with an attitude of Love. When we make peace with our thoughts, our body will listen. When we accept the test, we will transcend any and all challenges.

Today’s Meditative Thought: “Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.” — Song Lyrics by Jill Jackson/Mark Miller, 1955

The answer to war is always Love, and it begins with loving yourself. Once you begin to truly love you, then you are free to love others and that will transform the planet. We cannot fight war or terrorism with more violence. This radical transformation requires a new way of operating. Today, pray for peace and begin to love yourself. This is the “vibrational” shift that is required.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, make peace with yourself. Identify within yourself what it is you are fighting, and make peace with it. This does not mean to give up and simply accept it; on the contrary, it means to let go of the attachment to a certain outcome, to release the control of how it needs to look. This includes the way you look in your jeans.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I live above the battlefield of conflict and I activate the power of peace within my life. 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 8 – “Remembering Freedom ”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 8 – “Remembering Freedom ”

Today’s Body Connection: Remember, when we are physically active and participating in a healthy lifestyle we free ourselves from body limitations. When we experience a deconditioned body, it holds us back from living a full life. When we live a sedentary life, everything becomes a struggle, from walking up steps to playing with our children. It is time to move and be free. The first step is set your intentions; the next is get into action. Get up off the couch and take a walk around the block. You are the key that unlocks the door to your own freedom. Only you can change you life, isn’t it about time?

Today’s Meditative Thought: You have the choice to manifest the life you desire, but it begins with releasing the things that are not a part of the Divine vision. Remember, your old experiences are just that: old. Let them go.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that freedom is releasing the stuff that is not serving you any longer. This could mean people, places, jobs, ideas, thoughts, and relationships. Take the time to make a list of everything that is holding you back. And begin to let these things go.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember that I am the manifestation of God, made human; therefore I am blessed. I release everything that is not in alignment with this truth. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 7- “Joy of the Universe”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 7- “Joy of the Universe”

Today’s Body Connection: Remember, when we connect with our body we connect with the Joy of the Universe. There is nothing more enjoyable than feeling healthy. There is nothing in the world that can take away the elation that we experience when energized by fitness. We try using shopping, sex, alcohol, and drugs to achieve the experience of feeling wholeness, but the truth is, it is an inside job that can only be achieved by the practice. As you dive into your workouts, allow your energy and your vibration to fill that place that appears empty. Connect with the Joy of working out. Find the space of gratitude; connect with your inner being.

Meditative Thought: Joy is an energy that can overcome any disappointment. “The Joy of the lord is my strength” is a scripture of hope. You can endure anything just by looking for the Joy. If you are having trouble activating it, ask God to show you the Joy, have faith, and just hold on. “Weeping may endure for a night, but Joy comes in the morning.”

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that Joy is not based on circumstance; it is an absolute divine quality that is always available in any situation. As you train you body temple, find one thing that works in your life. Connect with the feeling of joy and gratitude than remove that thing and just be in the Joy energy. For the rest of your day, mindfully activate Joy everywhere you go.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember to hold on, let go, and let God. I am Joy expressing itself. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 5 – “With God’s Eyes ”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 5 – “With God’s Eyes ”

The Body Connection: Remember, as you begin your workout program, what do you see when you look in the mirror? Do you see someone who is broken, unhappy, and in need of a shift? That is only the external representation of what you are feeling. When we work from a place of brokenness, it is more challenging to find a place of self-love. The truth is, we work out to know more love within our being. During your workouts, see yourself the way God sees you. The Universe only knows your divine spirit and perfection. Our only connection to God is the absolute presence and essence of Love. If we wait until we reach our goal to experience that connection, the journey will be long and filled with ups and downs. We can begin our physical transformation with the sight of the divine and see ourselves with eyes of love, kindness, and compassion.

Meditative Thought: The Universe does not see our human flaws and mishaps; God only knows itself as love, joy, peace, order, balance, prosperity, and abundance. When you begin to see yourself as anything other than Love, you are blaspheming God and God’s creation.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember to see yourself with God’s eyes. There is nothing that God sees but the Love; today, move from that place. In everything you do, move with the Love of God shining as you. You are blessed, so be mindful of the truth.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember that I am the divine expression of God and all of its qualities. And so I am. 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: “Remember” Day 3 – “God Within ”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 3 – “God Within ”

The Body Connection: Remember, exercise is a way of expressing God within. Every time we consciously train your body you are doing spiritual work to express more love, light and joy that lives within you. The Essence of life lives within you; therefore every weight you lift is the expression of the Universal presence of God. Your physical practice is about creating a body-temple that is without the pain and weakness that may hinder your spiritual work. After a hard, vigorous training session, our bodies release hormones called endorphins, imbuing us with a euphoric feeling that is chemically induced. I call it the God Vibration. The next time you finish your physical practice, take a moment and acknowledge the God Vibration. Be still, and once you feel it, recognize it as a space of gratitude. When we exercise, it becomes a tool for reaching our inner being.

Meditative Thought: The only limitations you have are the ones you place upon yourself. God is bigger than any situation, any problem. See beyond your human limitations and catch the divine vision of God that is within you.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that the Universal presence that lives within you is boundless, without limits. As you work out, create a mantra that reminds you that you have the power to do all things.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember that God lives within my soul and that I can do anything. Amen
