DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 24 “Relax”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 24 “Relax”

The Body Connection: While transforming your body-temple, one of the most important elements is rest and relaxation. Our body-temples can only get stronger during times of rest. When we are in the process of a physical and spiritual transformation, growth can only happen after the work is done and inner peace is achieved. There must be a relaxed, serene spirit, a surrendering of the soul, for the shift to happen. Become the work that you have done; embody the definition of fitness; this is the yin-yang experience. There must be a perfect balance doing/becoming. Relax into the transformation, breathe into the growth, and resonate with the work that you have done.

Meditative Thought: The nature of God is so perfect we do not need to make “it” happen or improve upon it; we only need to allow it to happen. Relax and see the wondrous spirit of the Universe unfold.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, release the work of trying to make “it” happen; allow God to happen as your life. During your meditation or your physical workout, repeat the mantra, “God has this; I only need to allow it to happen.”

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am the divine presence of God; therefore I allow God to happen as my life. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 5 “Whose Life Is It Anyway?”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 5 “Whose Life Is It Anyway?”

Meditative Thought: When you feel the need to control the outcome of every situation and you think things are not going your way, ask yourself the question, “Whose life is it anyway?” This simple but divine contemplation will align your consciousness with the truth. Your life is the life of God; therefore you are free to relax. When we choose to operate from a place of surrender, we have the power to live a life that is powerful and filled with meaning.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, relax in God and allow your highest potential to unfold. When challenges appear and life seems to take you off track, ask yourself the question, “Whose life is it anyway?” Go within and listen for your answer.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I move, live, and have my being in God. All my intentions are blessed. It is done and so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 25 “Insight for Empowerment”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 25 “Insight for Empowerment”

Meditative Thought: Our divine insights are sacred, designed to empower our lives. I love when Oprah talks about “Ah-ha moments.” But after our awakening, there is another step. There is an action that must take place before our transformation takes place. When we receive these downloads and we begin to move our feet, there is a shift that happens and we are never the same. But the shift doesn’t stop with us. Insights from God are not only for our personal growth; they are for the collective, the group consciousness. As we shift, the world will change. When we begin to realize the importance of our transformation, we begin the journey of self-empowerment. Receive your Ah-ha moment with a sense of reverence. Be open to the blessings that you have caught from the fourth and fifth dimensions.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, search for insights of your personal empowerment. Journal about your Ah-ha moment, and take the time to see their importance. Today, be open to receiving sacred insights. Each time you receive a new one, be grateful. Acknowledge your gift by simply saying, “Thank you.”

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am the tool that uplifts this planet. 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: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 26 “What Is Your Truth?”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 26 “What Is Your Truth?”

Meditative Thought: What is your reality? What is your truth? Whatever you say or claim is the stamp you place on your existence. Are you weak or strong? Are you rich or poor? Are you an outcast or a child of God? Are you sick or walking in divine healing? Do not confuse what is truly real with your experiences. The only thing that is real is God and the omnipresence of the Holy Spirit. Remember, sickness can never be your reality; it is only an experience. The reality is that your spirit is whole and complete, active in divine love. Today, only speak reality into your existence.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, speak your truth. Claim what you are. If you don’t believe it, say it anyway until you do!

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am whole and complete and full of vitality. And so it is! Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 23 “The Free Exchange of Energy”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 23 “The Free Exchange of Energy”

Meditative Thought: Most of us light workers forget that we are in need of healing as well. As a Reiki Master Practitioner, I know I am not the one doing the healing; I am only a tool chosen by the Universe to activate that which is already present within my clients. The healing energy is greater than you and I. As I facilitate the healing session, if I am open the healing will always activate my personal needs. As we serve each other, we must be open to the fact that we are serving ourselves as well. The energy exchange that happens when one person focuses on helping another is priceless. When we freely give our energy, we will freely receive the blessing of the Universe.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, freely serve and feel the energy that is returned. Journal about your “Ah-ha moments.”

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am Joy, expressing Joy everywhere I go. I activate healing within myself and on this planet. And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 22 “Present to See The Divine”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 22 “Present to See The Divine”

Meditative Thought: The Divine can only be experienced in the present. If we can remember to be awake and aware in the now moment, we have access to great power. True greatness is happening around us right now; it only needs to be recognized. Most of the time, our ego, or what I call the ”little self,“ lives in fear of the future or the regret of the past. The past is gone, and the future never comes. The only thing we have is the now, where we have unlimited source of the Divine. We must open up our third eye to see the spirit of God, which can only be accessed right were we are, in this very moment.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, be present. Actively stay in the now. Notice when you are in the past or the future, than bring yourself back to the present.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I live in the now. I revel in the love of God. I am one with all power. And so it is. Amen.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 21 “Worthy Of Rose-Colored Glasses”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 21 “Worthy Of Rose-Colored Glasses”

Meditative Thought: I love that saying, “Seeing through rose-colored glasses.” The rose color reminds us of love, so what we are really saying is, “look with love.” But here is the challenge, we don’t always see our own selves through the rose-colored glass. At times we do not consider ourselves as worthy of being loved by others. Worthy of love is a concept that sometime eludes us because of our past paradigms of what love is. We must teach ourselves what love truly is. As children, we were taught that love is received because we have been good or have done something that deserves merit. Real love is unconditional, without terms. Love just is. Our worthiness of love is never based on what we do, but purely on whom we are. We are worthy of God’s blessing because we are God’s blessing. Know that we are worthy of the rose-colored glasses. See your self through the eyes of Love and know that how amazing you are in the heart of God.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, look with loving eyes. Set the intention that with every person and situation you will choose to see with God’s eyes. This is a practice that will take time. If you catch yourself seeing with anything else, forgive yourself and begin again.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am worth to be loved, because I am love. Amen.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 19 “Question That Helps Us”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 19 “Question That Helps Us”

Meditative Thought: When we ask the big questions, like, “Who am I?” “Where can I shine the light?” “How can I serve?” we must expect an answer. Contemplation of these life-changing questions brings a deeper awareness of our own divinity. Our answers will be found in meditation. When we take the time to be still and listen, the answers we seek will always come. These questions help us to see God. This type of inquiry is the first step to an enlightened life. Enlightenment is already within us; these questions help us to recognize it. Today be willing to go within and ask the questions.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, ask the question that will up level your consciousness. Find a clean page in your journal, take a question into your meditation, and contemplate. After you are done, take the time to write the question at the top of your page and journal your answers.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I recognize God as being all that there is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 18 “How to Shine”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 18 “How to Shine”

Meditative Thought: Once we are willing to shine, ask the question, “How can I shine?” The most effective way of sharing the light is doing nothing. Release and let go; allow God to radiate as your life. Surrender to the Universe, and let God do the God ”thing.” We need not make anything happen; we only need to allow it to happen. Be willing to radiate what is already within you. Keep your mind clear and open. Remove the doubt, fear, and worries from your consciousness and know that you are not alone. You are supported in everything that you do.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, ask the Universe how to shine your light. Have faith that you will receive the answer, and then take action. Go and shine.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I allow God to shine as me. I am a powerful tool for God to flow through me. I release and let God, be God, as me. And so it is. Amen
