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 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 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 3 “God As the Pilot”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET:  31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 3 “God As the Pilot”

Meditative Thought: We must stop telling God how to be God.  That job has been taken since the beginning of time.  When we release the need to be the commander of this ship known as life, travel will become easier.  God does not need a co-pilot, just a willing passenger excited for the ride.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment:  Today, allow God to be the pilot of your ship.  It might sound simple, but when you are faced with a fork in the road, ask your higher self which path to take.  At the end of your day, journal your experience and reflect on any insight that may come up.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, my life is infused with the Holy Spirit and all is well.  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 9 “Words That Empower”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS:  31 Days of Empowerment – Day 9 “Words That Empower”

Meditative Thought: Your language and thinking is key for your personal empowerment.  Be aware of negative thoughts entering into your mind.  As soon as you are aware of the negative thoughts, use an affirmation to help you shift your thinking.  Affirmations help to expand your consciousness and subconscious, allowing the super-consciousness to empower your existence.  Align your intentions with affirmative language, creating the most effective and ideal atmosphere primed for transformation.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment:  Today, affirm yourself with a mantra that speaks the truth of your existence.  Mindfully speak the words until you have feel empowered, until you are anchored firm in the awareness of the power of God.  Write an affirmation that you can believe, one that will help you to stay focused. “I am one with the Divine power, and my highest good is unfolding perfectly,” is a simple affirmation with effective power.  Set your clock, watch, or phone alarm for 6am, 12 noon, and 6pm, as a reminder to say your affirmation. Take the time to journal you experience.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am one with the Divine Power, and my highest good is unfolding perfectly.  And so it is.  Amen

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.
