DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 14 “Surrender to Seeing Love”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 14 “Surrender to Seeing Love”

The Body Connection: The daily physical practice of exercise can be challenging until we surrender to love. Find an exercise regimen that speaks to you. Take the time to explore the different opportunities to strengthen your body-temple. There are so many options, like yoga, dancing, weight training, Pilates, walking, and/or running, but you have to find one you like. When your physical practice becomes a chore, there is a higher probability that you won’t stick to it. You can’t win if you are not in. It is the energy of love that will keep you active and committed.

Meditative Thought: God only knows Love; therefore all blessings come from a place of Love. Each situation is a reminder of Love or an invitation to surrender to Love. Focus on finding the highest consciousness in your exercise time. If it’s a challenge, ask the Universe to make itself known to you. The Love is present everywhere; we just need to open our eyes.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, surrender to the practice of seeing Love. Set the intention to find the Divine in the physical. Every time you are aware of Love, make a record of it in your journal. When life throws you a loop, refer to your list.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I surrender my life to Love. I am open and available to seeing the Universal flow as I transform my life. And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 24 “Empowerment Consciousness”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 24 “Empowerment Consciousness”

Meditative Thought: There is nothing we can do to attain Empowerment. It is a consciousness, an awareness that we have everything we need. Empowerment consciousness takes time and spiritual work, cultivated by the practice of prayer and meditation. Empowerment comes from our connection with the divine. Our unity is the only power that is lasting. True empowerment comes from our relationship with God. As our consciousness expands, our relationship deepens and our empowerment grows.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, set the intention to up-level your consciousness with prayer, meditation, and affirmations. If you are aware of your empowerment, your life will expand. Today, move with the knowledge that you are empowered with the grace of God.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember to remember. And so I am. And so I let it be. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 13 “The Pathway of Empowerment”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 13 “The Pathway of Empowerment”

Meditative Thought: The Universe is always directing the pathway of empowerment. Our higher self is guiding every step we take if we are open to its direction. God speaks but we don’t always listen. During times of confusion and indecisiveness, go within and contemplate your next move. When you are unsure of what comes next, ask yourself, what can I do to embrace my vision? What can I do to move myself to the next level? During a time of unemployment, this could be the time to start your own business. Maybe it’s time to create your own flow of abundance, rather than depending on old ideas, un-fulfilling jobs, and/or people who don’t appreciate you. When things don’t seem to be working in your life, this is a time to find another way to be creative. When it appears that your life is not moving in the direction of your intentions, or it seems that you are in a period of inactivity, remember that The Universe is always working on your behalf. Whatever your calling is, know that it is unfolding right here and right now. True empowerment requires faith; no matter what, God is working in and as you.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, take a deep look at your journey. Mindfully know that you are on a path with no destination. Each step is designed to empower you in one way or another. Mindfully walk the path today. Stay awake and move through your day with the awareness that you have purpose; you are on the pathway of Empowerment.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I allow God to speak during this gestation period. And so it is.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 8 “The Highest Consciousness of Empowerment”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 8 “The Highest Consciousness of Empowerment”

Meditative Thought: The highest consciousness of empowerment is the awareness that everything is working on your behalf. If we remain in the mindset that our highest good is unfolding right here and right now, that becomes the energetic vibration that will get us through anything; the best will emerge during any and every situation. There are times when we worry and we try to make things happen. There is nothing you can do to make God’s will to unfold and fall into place. God’s will is always unfolding. Spirit is just saying, “Wait and be still.” Everything is working at the right time. Empower yourself with the knowing that the Universe is working in you, for you, and as you. You have the power; there is nothing you need to do, so rest in that consciousness; become the power that you are.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, set the intention to know your power comes from within. You have everything you need; it’s within you. Create a simple mantra that reminds you that you have everything. Repeat the mantra every hour on the hour. Today is the day to anchor in the truth.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, as I wait I know my highest good is unfolding. And so it is.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 4 “Empowering the World”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 4 “Empowering the World”

Meditative Thought: When we understand that our life has purpose because we are living, we begin to live a purposeful life. From this awareness we will see our life vision. We will take part in what God has called us to do. My Friends, you are the tool the Universe has chosen to bring forth new and amazing ideas for this planet. Only you can complete the calling. As you begin to activate and participate in your divine gifts, you will empower the world. You will inspire everyone you meet to be the best they can be.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, decide how you will inspire the world to greatness. Set the intention to empower your community. It only takes one person to start a chain reaction. It does not have to be a big act; it can be the smallest thing, like picking up a piece of litter. But if this act is filled with big intentions, it will set the world on fire. Remember, you are the spark.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I bring forth great and new ideas. I am the spark of eternal fire that transforms this planet. And so it is.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 3 “Self-Esteem to Empowerment”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 3 “Self-Esteem to Empowerment”

Meditative Thought: I once heard a spiritual leader say, “If you are looking for self-esteem, do estimable acts.” I believe there is a more expansive way of understanding that principle. Self-esteem comes from an awareness of who and what you are, which then leads to participating in estimable acts. When we see our true divine self and recognize our oneness in the Universe, our overall consciousness is elevated; we begin to love ourselves, and this in turns leads to admirable action. Everything we do come from the knowing of who we are and that is true empowerment.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, define what self-esteem mean to you. Make a list of all the things that you can do to elevate your awareness that you truly are. Prayer and meditation are at the top of the list for connecting with your divine self. Choose one task, small or great, it does not matter. While you are participating in that assignment, remember who and what you are. Remind yourself that ‘you do because you are;’ not the reverse. At the end of the day, journal about your experience.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I recognize my self-esteem comes from my connection with God. And so it is, and so I let it be.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 2 “The Questions That Empower”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 2 “The Questions That Empower”

Meditative Thought: Here are the questions to ask yourself daily: “How can I love more deeply?” “How can I show more compassion?” “Where can I be more of service?” “What can I do to share more love?” True empowerment comes from sharing our divine gifts. When we ask these question, the answer will be revealed to us, and when we take action, empowerment comes. When we share God, there is an energy that explodes within our hearts and we begin to radiate a vibration that inspires others.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, ask the question that empowers your soul. Take the time to contemplate and cultivate the question, “How can I serve today?” When you get the answer, be willing to step out and do it. Journal your experience and your “ah-ha!” moments, allowing your journal to be a log of your transformation.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I love more, I am more, I share more God. And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 1 “Defining and Empowering Yourself”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 1 “Defining and Empowering Yourself”

Meditative Thought: Empowerment refers to the increasing of your spiritual, political, social, educational, gender, or economic strength. It is time to decide what empowers your existence. What motivates you to truly reach for the stars? Whatever gives you the feeling of power and strength, it is time to connect with it and make it yours. Fuel your every move with true power; divine power. There is something that lives deep within your soul that energizes your life. I call it God; you can call it whatever you like. We must learn to connect with this source and allow it to define our existence. Empowerment comes from knowing this divine presence intimately.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, set aside time to define what an empowered life looks like for you. In your journal, create a definition of empowerment and make a list of every aspect of your life that is empowering and/or needs to be empowered. Remember, all true power up-levels your existence and it comes from God. Connect with Source that lives within you; it’s the only power you need.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I celebrate God within me. I am one with great power and I can do all things in God that strengthen my life. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 29 “Worthy”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 29 “Worthy”

Meditative Thought: What makes us worthy of the life we live? Nothing! “Worthy” is a concept that can only be understood by knowing who and what we are. Self-worth is the knowing that we are the divine expression of the Universe made flesh. You are worthy because you exist. We are worthy because we are God in the flesh. Once we understand this spiritual principle, we are free to move through life doing God’s work. Everything we do we must do from a place of “I am worthy because I am.” Take care of your body temple because you are worth it and because it is the home of Divine Spirit. Do your spiritual practice be the beacon of light that all needs to see. Continue to love, because the person you see is an expression of God.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, stop trying to find your worthiness and become your worthiness. Connect with who and what you are; know that there is nothing you need to do. Write yourself a letter telling your little self that you are worth the practice.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I know that I am a divine expression of the Universe. My body temple is the home of the Divine. And so it is.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 27 “The Power to Stay the Course”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 27 “The Power to Stay the Course”

Meditative Thought: What keeps you on track? What practice of discipline helps you to not give up the vision? I believe there is a source of power that elevates your energy and allows the right action to take place. There is an authority within you that fuels all your intentions, creating the desire to do the work that is required. We must turn to that energy when the life journey gets to be too much and we feel like giving up. We must anchor ourselves in that power to see us through. We have caught the vision and have been called forth to see it manifest. Connect with God that lives within you; it will continue even when we cannot. It is an inexhaustible source; we do not have to be in need to tap into it. You have it within you now. Recognize a power greater than yourself that makes all things happen.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, simply stay with it. Continue with your practice no matter what.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am on track fueled by God’s love. Amen.
