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 SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 4 “Take Time to…”

Meditative Thought: My friends, God is inviting you to take time to… Only you can finish that statement. What is it you need to take time to do? What has been neglected in your life? Is there a practice that you need to spend more time with: meditation, prayer, sacred listening, and quiet stillness? Maybe the Universe is asking you to take time to fellowship with family and friends. Maybe the call is to be more diligent at work. It is never too late to begin again. We must remember that everything we do is a direct reflection of God within our life. When we neglect anything in our life, we are neglecting God. Listen for the still, small voice that is inviting you to be more present.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, take time to… You fill in the blank. Go into meditation and ask Spirit what you are neglecting in your life. That is the one thing you need to do more of.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I take time to Love. I take time to listen. I take time to be. And so it is.
