DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 12 “Disciple”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 12 “Disciple”

Meditative Thought: What do you think of when you hear the word “structure”? Do you think of limitations or expansion? In my experience, a structure helps me to form a way of doing something so that my greatest expansion may happen. Structure can mean practice and/or discipline. Our daily meditation is a discipline that provides an avenue to infinite possibilities. Without the daily practice we are limiting the capability of seeing past our current paradigm. Remember, discipline is a commitment that requires dedication. As a disciple of our spiritual growth, we are called to commit to the work that is needed.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, become a disciple of truth. Commit to the practice of the unfolding of God upon your life. On the hour of every hour, do something to cultivate your spiritual experience.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I embrace the discipline of the practice. And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 11 “Finding Peace Within”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 11 “Finding Peace Within”

Meditative Thought: What others think about you is none of your business. We cannot control what people say about us or the way they treat us; we can only find inner peace within ourselves. It is never about you. It about how they are feeling at that particular moment. Have you heard the saying, “One minute they like you and the next they don’t”? That is because human perception is constantly shifting. The only thing that we can control is how we react or interact in a situation. The journey is to find peace during moments that seem to be out of our control. Serenity only comes from within and it happens when we shift our consciousness. When looking for peace, it will come when you stop fighting.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, free yourself from the need to worry about what others think of you. When the urge arises, reminds yourself, “It’s none of my business what they think.”

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I surrender, and I activate peace. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 8 “The Perfect You”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 8 “The Perfect You”

Meditative Thought: Do you know that you are perfect, whole, and complete? There is a part of you that has never been born, will never die, can never be changed, and can never be hurt in any way; I call it ”The Perfect You.“ We must stop judging your actions as who and what we are. Perfection is who you are, not what you do. We are not meant to do this life perfectly, but we are meant to learn from every situation that comes into our experience. Our commitment to transcend requires practical application for anchoring this truth. It is from our imperfections that we grow. Know that you are the unique expression of the Divine with the ability to transform any fault or flaw into victory. Connect with “The Perfect You” or “The Divine Self” that is the essence of who you are.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, explore what your ”perfect you” looks like. Examine how it interacts with other. Focus on how it speaks. Then begin to align yourself with your ”perfect you.” Trust that you know all the answers; they are within you.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, perfection is who I am; therefore I am free to live my most perfect life. My eyes are open to the richness of God and I am blessed. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 7 “All Things Are Working for Our Good”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 7 “All Things Are Working for Our Good”

Meditative Thought: In my experience, there have been many shifts within my consciousness. My thoughts and perceptions have been transformed around the outcome of events within my life. Before I began studying metaphysics and mysticism, I hoped that things would turn out a certain way. Along with spiritual growth comes a release of the attachment that things must look and/or show up a certain way.

As our consciousness expands so does our freedom from the small-minded thinking that holds us back from our authentic greatness. When we begin to have faith that God is working on our behalf, our life becomes unstoppable. At this point of my journey, the practice is to know more God as my life. This level of consciousness allows us to release worry, doubt, and fear and show up as a beneficial presence on this planet. This freedom anchors us in the spiritual principle that “All things are working for our highest good.”

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, know that all things are working for your good. No matter what happens during the day, just claim it as good for your spiritual growth.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, all things are working for my highest good. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 6 “Directed Footsteps”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 6 “Directed Footsteps”

Meditative Thought: Where am I going? That is one of the big questions we ask ourselves quite a bit. Most of the time we don’t know where the journey is taking us, but we can always know the Knower who knows. The knower of our sacred expedition is The Divine. If we trust God, we will be divinely directed. Put your faith in the Universe and it will guide your life. Trust that a force that knows all things and is all-powerful guides you. Recognize that all-amazing presence of the Mother-Father-God directing your footsteps. Move with the reassurance that nothing can come against you. You are a child of God, blessed with everything you ever needed. Now recognize that truth.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, trust God on your path. Without knowing where you are going, trust that the Universe is ordering your steps. Create a mantra to help you build your faith. It should be simple and easy to remember, such as, “I trust God on my path.” Use your mantra when you feel that you do not know the way.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I know the Knower who knows. I am free to follow God’s path for my life. I know that my highest good is always unfolding. And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 5 “Recognizing God Through Nature”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 5 “Recognizing God Through Nature”

Meditative Thought: The greatest way to recognize God is in nature. When we are present in the vastness of God earth, we can feel the vibration the earth radiates. When was the last time you walked the beach barefoot and felt the sand between your toes? When was the lat time you smelt the fragrance of a living flower or felt a blade of grass in your hands? I invite you to take the time to go into nature, close your eyes, and hear God’s song. Take a deep breath, inhale nature’s vibration, and be with Mother Earth. Feel your connection to this planet. Allow the experience to shift your awareness of God, nature, and man’s unity. “Listen; the planet is singing a sweet song.”

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, play in nature. Go with your family and/or friends and feel the vibration. It does not have to take long; it can take as little as 30 minutes. But just do it with the intention to commune with the vastness of God.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I dance to the song of Mother Earth. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 3 “The Law of Circulation As Fellowship”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 3 “The Law of Circulation As Fellowship”

Meditative Thought: God is an energetic force, a vibration that can only be experienced during the spiritual practice. Everything and everyone is a form of Divine energy that sends out a vibration, connecting with other Divine energy that creates fellowship. The “Law of Circulation” says that what we send out, returns to us 100-fold. Contemplate this; whatever energy we release, we get back, so we must consciously send out God energy. Spirit only knows itself. Allow your spirit to touch the Source of life. This is Unity consciousness. All things are connected with God through this energetic vibration. Bless the planet, and you bless yourself. Pray for another, you pray for yourself. Your sacred practice affects the collective because we are undivided from the whole. Allow the Law of Circulation to fuel your fellowship.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, consciously connect with everyone through the spirit. Know that the Unity you feel is divine. Your awareness is key. At the end of your day, journey about your experience. Keep a record of any insight you may have, then revisit your finding the following week. You can repeat the process everyday or how often you choose.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, with a clear mind I release thoughts of lack and limitation. I play in the realm of Abundance, Prosperity, and Plentitude. And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 2 “In the Stillness We Will Know”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 2 “In the Stillness We Will Know”

Meditative Thought: Rickie Byars Beckwith sings,” Mankind is a child of the Sun.” How amazing is it to know that we are so connected to the Divine, and that we were formed from the same energy of the Sun. God thought us to be so important that we were created from the same power that heats the earth. With that awareness there is nothing that we cannot do. The power of God lives within us all. There is a place deep within your being where the spark of creation lives, waiting to explode into existence. But understand that only the sacred practice of prayer and meditation can ignite this awareness. The Universal presence of God can only be known when it is recognized as so. We will only know this power in our still, quiet time. In the stillness we will know our connection to God.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, make it a priority to be still and know that God is in your life. During meditation contemplate you oneness with Source until you know the truth: you and Mother-Father-God are one.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am a child of the Sun, and I rock. And so it is. Amen
