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 NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 9 “Reaching God”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET:  31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 9 “Reaching God”

Meditative Thought:  Joel S. Goldsmith says, “You cannot reach God through your mind.” When I read this, I instantly understood its meaning: we can only experience God.  When we think about who God is, we always come up short.  In our human incarnation we can only conceive God as our past thoughts, teaching, and an idea of what we think God is.  Our thoughts and imagination can never create an accurate description of God.  God is an incorporeal being that can only be accessed through the invisible practice of prayer and meditation. The truth is a “God experience” is always new and fresh.  There comes a moment in our journey when we stop thinking about who God is and begin to experience what God is.

 

Today’s Spiritual Assignment:  Today, free your mind of the “Who” and experience the “What.” Whenever there is a quest, consciously return to the “what” question.  The answer is always God.  When life seems a little interesting, slow down and breathe the question, “What is seeking to emerge?”

 

Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, I know that God is love; therefore I am love.  And so it is.  Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 8 “God Is Love”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET:  31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 8 “God Is Love”

Meditative Thought: Surrendering to the nature of the Universe is the understanding that God is not a power that comes down to fix your life.  God is not something that we can use when it is convenient. God is a spirit that can only be experienced.  When we dive deep into the spiritual practice and feel the presence of the Universe, our issues will fade away.  The absolute power of God is Love.  When we turn our life over to Love, Love becomes the only answer that we need. The only thing that we must do is to relax and allow Universe’s love to flow as our life.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment:  Today, relax and surrender to Love.  Allow its power to guide you to new levels of existence.  As Love becomes the healing force in and as your life, set the intention to be the greatest lover of all time.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, I relax in the presence of God.  I am the manifestation of the Universe and I am blessed.  Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 7 “Surrender to Rest”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET:  31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 7 “Surrender to Rest”

Meditative Thought: Keeping your spiritual Sabbath can be one of the most important practices we can do.  There comes a time when we must rest in the work that we have done, trust, and walk in the light we have ignited inside of ourselves.  When we surrender to the idea that there is nothing else that needs to be done, then we become the divine. 

Today’s Spiritual Assignment:  Today, take a Sabbath from your spiritual work and become the living “Ah-ha” moment.  Today, ask the question, “What must I do to embody the character of God?”  Today, become the spiritual work you have said yes to.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am the living Christ consciousness in the flesh.  And so I am.  Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 4 “Don’t Fight God”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 4 “Don’t Fight God”

Meditative Thought: Surrender does not mean to give up.  Surrender is the relinquishing of the battle.  When we decide not to fight God, our life will be full of ease and grace.  Sometimes we know what we need to do; the Universe has given us guidance, but as my mother used to say, “You’re just hard-headed.”  The power of God flows with ease; it is our stubbornness that blocks the flow.  Trust your spiritual connection; tap into your spiritual authority.  You will know when god is speaking to you.  There is an overwhelming feeling of peace and serenity.  When we fight God, there is only frustration, worry, and fear. Trust your inner guide; it only wants the best for you.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment:  Today, relinquish the fight. When you know there is something that God has directed you to do, don’t wait to move on it.  When you are sure, step out on faith, relax, and surrender.  It’s all good.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, my life is the life of God and I move with ease and grace.  Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 2 “Surrender to Your Higher Self”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET:  31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 2 “Surrender to Your Higher Self”

Meditative Thought: Surrendering to your Higher Self is letting go of the control.  We must learn to relax and allow God to be God as us.  Our life is the life of the Universe that has a grand plan for our highest good to unfold.  We must stop controlling the way we want God to perform in our lives.  God cannot be put in a box, leashed, and controlled on command.  “Let go and let God do the God thing.”

Today’s Spiritual Assignment:  Today, allow God to be God in your life.  Mindfully release the control, allowing the Universe to flow as your life.  Today, when making a decision, turn within and ask God for guidance.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, I surrender to a power greater than myself.  I live my greatest potential in the mind of God.  And so it is.  Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 1 “Ready to Surrender”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET:  31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 1 “Ready to Surrender”

Meditative Thought: Are you ready to surrender? Are you ready to release control of your life?  Are you ready to experience the riches and treasures of the universe?  It begins with surrendering your life to God.  When you turn your will and the care of your life over to a power greater than yourself, there is a freedom to relax, a freedom from the need to make “it” happen.  God is in control of all things; we only need to step out-of-the-way and allow God to do the God thing.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment:  Today, turn your life over to a power greater than yourself.  Through prayer and meditation, cultivate your oneness with God.  Take time in the stillness, clear your mind of external thoughts, and with every breath repeat the mantra, “I am one with God.”

Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am one with a power greater than myself.  And so I am.  And so I allow it to be.  Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 30 “The Conflict”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS:  31 Days of Empowerment – Day 30 “The Conflict”

Meditative Thought: When we hold unity consciousness—that everyone is the same spirit, expressing it uniquely—conflict and confrontation is minimal.  Conflict and confrontation happens when our ego tries to protect us by keeping us separate. The solution to any conflict is returning to what is real: our connection.  This awareness allows whatever argument, disagreement, and/or hurt to dissolve into God. Our willingness to release and allow conflict to fade into oneness requires a power greater than ourselves.  Only a divine empowerment can give us the strength to move past disagreement.  Sometimes this is a challenge; it is not easy, but with the grace we are empowered.  Unity consciousness is a practice; we can choose to react in our confrontation or interact with Love.  We can release the lie, and embrace God.

 

Today’s Spiritual Assignment:  Today, move through your day with the power to choose.  Do not make a decision without acknowledging, “I have the power to choose.”

 

Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, I release confrontation and embrace God. And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 28 “Stages of Consciousness”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS:  31 Days of Empowerment – Day 28 “Stages of Consciousness”

Meditative Thought: Reverend Michael Bernard Beckwith has created a model for the four stages of consciousness.  Stage 1 is victim; stage 2 is using the Universal presence to manifest and create your existence; stage 3 is allowing God to work through you; and stage 4 is God working as you.   We can be in any of these stages at any time. The difference is when we are aware of when we are operating as a victim, or when we are showing up as God. Sometimes stages can shift from moment to moment. I learned not to beat myself up if I find myself thinking or acting like a victim. Because we are aware, we have a choice. We can decide how we want to live our life, and that is empowerment.  Once we recognize that we are in victim-hood, we have the power to shift.  Empower yourself by being aware.  Self-Awareness is a key step to empowerment.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment:  Today, be aware of when you are in victim consciousness or when you are coming forth as the fullness of God.  Journal about your experience and continue to be aware of how you are living your life.   If you recognize that you are in victim-hood, do the spiritual work that will help you to shift.  Prayer and meditation is the solution.  Go within and see your true self.  As you move through your day, stay awake and conscious.

 

Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, I deliver the divine love upon this planet. I am an expression of God. And so I let it be. Amen
