DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 4 “Surrendering to the Light”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 4 “Surrendering to the Light”

Today’s Body Connection: The physical practice can be achieved in so many ways. One option is sports. Think of the one sports activity you loved when you where in school: football, basketball, volleyball, or swimming. Revisit that sport and commit to doing it once a week. You don’t have to join a gym; you can find regional sports teams through your YMCA, church, or community center. Don’t limit your options to just the traditional ideas of working out. Get out of the box and begin to play again. When you find the activity that brings you joy, you open the gateway to letting your light shine, and shine bright!

Today’s Meditative Thought: Once we begin to recognize and understand the Light, we are called to surrender to its will. The purpose of the Light is to expand and to know more of itself. Each one of us is an expansion of the Light. The challenge is that we have forgotten this. Everyone is an incarnation of the Universal Presence, here to express more of the Light. Surrendering to the will of God is turning our life over to a divine purpose of sharing Love, Joy, Compassion, Oneness, Abundance, and Grace in every situation in our lives. When we surrender, we now have a purpose, a calling, and our existence has meaning.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, surrender to the Light. Set the intention to share God wherever you go. Give your existence meaning. Create a mantra that elevates your purpose upon the planet. Before you head out to start your day, speak the words that will fuel your life: “I set the intention to share God everywhere I am.”

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am the Light that shines wherever I am. I am the blessing that lights the planet and my life has meaning. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 3 “What Is Light?”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 3 “What Is Light?”

Today’s Body Connection: No more excuses. What are you waiting for? There will always be a reason not to begin your physical practice. The most common excuse that people give for not working out is a lack of time. Time is all we have; it’s the management of it that is the problem. “When I feel better I will start to work out.” The problem with that excuse is the fact that it is in the future, not the present. If you stand in that delusion, you will never be strong enough. Take a minute to circle “one day” on the calendar; you can’t. It’s time to stop making excuses and get moving. Our biggest fear is not failure; it’s success. If we begin to live a better life, we will have to do better. If we transform our lives, we have no more excuses for not living life to the fullest. The time is today. Allow your inner light to shine. No more excuses.

Today’s Meditative Thought: When celebrating the Light, we must ask ourselves what is Light? In my own experience and understanding, the Light is God, the One Power, the One Mind, the One Presence that I call Love. The Light is everything, everywhere active, and is within us all. The qualities of the Light are always, joy, compassion, power, abundance, grace, and prosperity. The Light can only to be seen when we are willing to perceive it. It gives off such an illuminating presence that it is an undeniable, unmistakable likeness that can only be explained as a miraculous presence felt deep within the heart. This divine Light can only be experienced with an open heart.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, open your heart and be willing to experience the Light. During your meditation focus on feeling the Light instead of thinking about what it is. Be open to having an experiential experience instead of an intellectual one.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am the experience of Light that is my being. The God Presence fuels my life and I am a blessing to all I meet.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 29 “Divine Creativity”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 29 “Divine Creativity”

Today’s Body Connection: The body is a temple, housing our essence. It needs our daily practice. Health and fitness is our birthright and it is time to claim it. Surrender your self-sabotage, forgive your shortcomings, and push the restart button. Daily exercise, mindful eating, and an affirmative frame of mind are the keys to holistic transformation. Every day is a great day to start, just commit to the journey and set the intention to be aware that we are the physical incarnation of the Divine.

Meditative Thought: There is a creative force that lives within us all. This force is our higher self-wanting to come out and express itself. Divine Creativity is our rite of passage. We are creating all the time; words, thoughts, and talents are only a few ways we create everyday. Awareness is the key. We must be present to the time we are creating. We begin to see God through our creations. Prayer is the cultivation of creativity. When we pray we begin to activate the high vibration of creation; we tap into the universal force that created this planet that created life itself.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, pray for your creation. Know the unique ways you bring forth the divine.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I bring forth the divine through my creative process. I am creative; therefore new ideas spring forth every moment. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 28 “Your Journey”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 28 “Your Journey”Today’s Body Connection: See your training as a journey with no destination. This is a path that must be taken for the rest of your human existence. Health and fitness is a way of life, a conscious approach to living. We get to travel this path with an intention to be the best we can be. This is our passage we have said yes to, so it time to get moving.Meditative Thought: Your growth is a journey without a destination. Pray for your expansion as you explore your relationship with God. Every step is filled with divine blessings. We have the opportunity to see God every step of the way. We can pray for divine presence to reveal itself in all things. Every moment of our journey is blessed and filled with “ah-ha” moments. The more we pray, the more we are aware of our connection to the Universe and the lessons of the Journey. Pray for the revelations to be known.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, examine your journey and see the growth that has come forth. Take the time to journal all of your insights.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, my journey is blessed with the divine and empowered with God’s presence. And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 27 “Oneness”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 27 “Oneness”

Today’s Body Connection: Oneness is the energy of unity, connection to all things. When we work out we must be willing to see the connection of the mind, body, and spirit. A mindful training session is one that effectively uses the mind and the spirit to help you achieve the physical task at hand. We can either zone out while we train, mindlessly moving weights, prone to injury, or we can exercise with the awareness of breathing, movement, and how our body feels. Mindfulness brings your self back to the present moment. Do not lose focus; stay awake and keep the unity consciousness alive.

Meditative Thought: Yoga is the practice of yoking together two things that appear to be different, like strength training and stretching your mind and body. During the practice there comes a time when you become aware that there is no separation of the two, only the unique expression of “The One.” Our prayer time is our commitment to know the power of God that is our lives. This communion with the Universal presence elevates our awareness that our life is the life of God; there is no separation.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, meditate on your oneness with God. Spend time in deep contemplation to up level your consciousness. Take at least ten minutes and be more aware of your connection to your higher self.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am the unique expression of the oneness presence of God. And so I am. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 25 “Practice to Know More Joy”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 25 “Practice to Know More Joy”

Today’s Body Connection: When we work the body-temple, we get to set an intention for a higher vibration. The ultimate experience is always Love and Joy. We must be open to seeing the joy, worthy of the blessing and keep the faith in every workout session. It not an easy journey to take the high road but it always brings us to place indescribable ecstasy. Today, allow your practice to be the activation of bliss. Be in the Joy always. Your workout can be heaven on earth if you are willing.

Meditative Thought: Joy is a divine quality that is within every being. It is our natural state to be in a space of absolute joy. Once we realize that Joy is who we are, we can activate the joy within our soul. Our prayer life is a communion with Joy, a sacred appointment that we must keep every day. To know more Joy, we must be willing to take that leap into the prayer field and activate this high vibration.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, during your prayer time, set the intention to activate more Joy. Allow Spirit to speak to you and to show you the Joy that lives within your being.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I know I am Joy fulfilling itself; therefore I bless the planet and everyone I meet with Joy. And so I am. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 17 “The Practice That Shifts Our Consciousness”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 17 “The Practice That Shifts Our Consciousness”

Today’s Body Connection: Health and fitness has no finish line, only opportunities for continual growth. Just when you feel that you have conquered one goal, there will always be another intention to set and achieve. Think of your practice as a constant invitation to expand your conscious awareness of your inner strength. The practice has only one purpose and that is to let us know our own divinity. Every workout will help us to create the life we desire. There is nothing holding us back from our greatness except the belief that we are less than amazing.

Meditative Thought: “We are affirming, declaring, and claiming the truth about the condition we desire to see manifested, realizing and convincing ourselves of what is true in the absolute realm.” — Linda Watson, ALSP.

Linda Watson, Agape Licensed Spiritual Practitioner, reminds us that prayer is about changing our consciousness. No matter what the “story” or situation is, our prayer is to shift our minds away from the problem and look towards the solution. The solution is always God. If you are in need of money, your prayer is to connect with the spirit of abundance. If you are dealing with relationship issues, your prayer is to remember that you are love; therefore you can love. If you are faced with health challenges, your prayer is to tap into the Divine energy of wholeness. Release your “story” and embrace your glory.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, examine the situation you are praying about. Find the spiritual quality that is seeking to emerge from the story. Here are a few examples: money problems, pray to know your abundance; relationship issues, pray to know self love; work problems, pray to know your divine creativity; sickness and health challenges, pray to reveal your wholeness. Take time to journal about your insights.

Affirmation: Just for this moment… just for this breath, I declare my divine truth within every situation. Every problem reveals God as a solution. And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 16 “It Is Done as We Believe”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 16 “It Is Done as We Believe”

Today’s Body Connection: When we say yes to transforming our lives, there must be an initial belief that change can happen. If we trust that our workouts will make a difference in our lives, they will. Our existence is created from our belief systems. If we think that a push-up is the hardest thing we have ever done, it feels that way. But if we set the intention to remember our inner strength, the physical practice becomes inspired and filled with hope. Shift your belief from “Maybe” to “It is done.” Work your body from a place of “It is done.”

Meditative Thought: “We cannot believe in a Divine Power that responds more quickly to one than to another.” — Ernest Holmes, Prayer. I love that quote. Sometimes we believe that someone has an extra blessing or more God power than someone else. Spirit does not discriminate. The Universe does not know whether you are a good person or a bad person. Prayers manifest as we believe. The scripture says, “It is done as you believe.” Be aware of your motivation for praying. If we pray out of fear, fear is the energy that the Universe will use. If you pray for money, out of fear of being broke, the fear wins out every time. Fear is of the same energy as faith. The Universe reacts to our energy, vibrations, emotions…not the words we speak. The Universal law works no matter what. Be aware of not only what you pray for, but also how you pray for it.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, pray with the awareness of your emotions and vibrations.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, my prayers are filled with high vibrations. All my intentions are immersed in love. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 15 “The Practice that Unites Us”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 15 “The Practice that Unites Us”

Today’s Body Connection: Understand that you are not the only one on this journey of transforming your body-temple. You do not stand alone in your goals. There are those who desire the same transformation you desire. There are people who have bigger goals than you. You want to drop ten pounds, while your neighbor wants to drop 25. You have a wedding dress that you want to look amazing in, while there are million of brides with the same intention. You have a pair of skinny jeans, and so do I. If you could take a survey of your community I would bet that three-quarters of your neighbors have set the intention to feel better, look better, and improve the condition of their health. If you have dropped 25 pounds, there is someone who you will meet that will be blessed by your experience. Transformation is the one factor that we all have in common on some level. Your journey will empower someone else who desires to be better. Stay open and willing to help someone or look for that person that will inspire you to be the best you can be.

Meditative Thought: “Prayer is a tool that unites the world.” — Skip Jennings, “Spirit Explosion” Because we are one with the spirit of God, when you pray for someone else, you are praying for yourself. With that in mind, we pray only for the highest good for everyone. I am always looking for the opportunity to pray.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, search for opportunities to pray for someone; I know you will find them.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am aware of my oneness with the most high. I sing a song only I can sing. I am playing in the playground of the Universe where everyone is welcome. When I speak a word for others, I bless myself. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 14 “Release and Let Go”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 14 “Release and Let Go”

Today’s Body Connection: There comes a point in our transformation when we simply need to let go and let the Universe do its thing. When you have done all you can and you feel stuck, let go of the control. Let go of what you think you transformation needs to look like. Let go of the outcome and allow the blessing to surprise you. Yes, we set our goal weight, but we let go of how we will achieve it. There are so many ways to drop the inches. Yes, we want to be stronger, but strength-training comes in different packages. When we finish working out, there needs to be a symbolic death of the physical practice so that transformation can truly take place. In yoga, we call the hatha (movement) the practice, and the meditation the actual yoga. The shavasana, or corpse pose, is the symbolic death of all the work that has come before. The practice is over, let it go so that you may go out and live your transformation.

Meditative Thought: Affirmative Prayer Step 6 – Release: Once you have said the prayer, you must release and let it go. Release the prayer; allow God to be God. We hold on to our prayers because we don’t have the faith that they will come to fruition. As long as we hold on tight, the prayer can’t expand, it can’t breathe, it can’t grow. It goes no further than your mouth. Our prayers must fly into the cosmos. “I let go and I let God,” is a mantra that I use all the time. Release is the first step toward serenity. Turn your cares and worries over to God. Release is true freedom. It builds our faith. We begin to believe that God is in control.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, begin to release your prayer into the Universe so that God can be God. Journal your experiences. I would love to hear from you.

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