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 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 NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 24 “Empowerment Consciousness”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 24 “Empowerment Consciousness”

Meditative Thought: There is nothing we can do to attain Empowerment. It is a consciousness, an awareness that we have everything we need. Empowerment consciousness takes time and spiritual work, cultivated by the practice of prayer and meditation. Empowerment comes from our connection with the divine. Our unity is the only power that is lasting. True empowerment comes from our relationship with God. As our consciousness expands, our relationship deepens and our empowerment grows.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, set the intention to up-level your consciousness with prayer, meditation, and affirmations. If you are aware of your empowerment, your life will expand. Today, move with the knowledge that you are empowered with the grace of God.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember to remember. And so I am. And so I let it be. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 22 “The Power to See the Best”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 22 “The Power to See the Best”

Meditative Thought: Empowerment is the power to see the best in all things. When life appears to be challenging, our focus may change and we can get lost in our circumstance. What we are called to do is to shift our perception. We will always get what we look for. If you see a life of disappointment, or an existence that is full of grief, that is what our experience shall be. If we see a life that is whole and complete, filled with infinite possibilities, then so it shall be. Our empowerment comes from our consciousness and our perception. We must stay focused that we are one in God; therefore we have everything we need. We are co-heirs and co-creators in God, worthy of seeing the best for our lives and the lives of others.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, set the intention to see only the best in every situation. At the end of your day, journal about your experience.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I see the best in all things. I activate the God consciousness and I am blessed. And so it is. Amen.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 18 “Compassion and Empowerment”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 18 “Compassion and Empowerment”

Meditative Thought: One of the greatest tools of empowerment is the ability to help someone. The truth is, when we help someone we help ourselves. We are connected through the divine love of God, and our nature is to reach out and to be of service. As we walk this path of enlightenment, we get to examine the true meaning of compassion. Compassion and Love is seeing someone as our self, and only wanting the best for him or her. In the movie Avatar, the essence of the film was expressed in a simple line: “I see you.” Compassion is seeing that someone is hurting and saying, “How can I help?” But all love and compassion begins with self and ends with self. If we are challenged with showing compassion, we must check in with ourselves and ask, “Where am I in need of compassion?” When we are kind to ourselves that is true empowerment.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, set the intention to be compassionate with yourself. Write yourself a letter of compassion around an issue that is challenging. Write the letter without getting lost in the story. Today’s assignment is to love yourself without attachment to your feelings. The practice is to learn true compassion and become an effective tool for healing.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am free to activate God. I am free to show compassion to others and myself.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 16 “Surrender to Empower Yourself”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 16 “Surrender to Empower Yourself”

Meditative Thought: The sacred act of surrendering to God is the first step of empowerment. When we acknowledge that a power greater than ourselves is running the game, we can relax. The surrendering to the Universal presence of order and balance leads to a Freedom, a freedom to do anything and everything that we are called to do. We know that there is a power within us that is prefect, whole, and complete, and that knows exactly what you need to fulfill any mission. When we rely on that energy, we choose to empower ourselves with this non-equitable source. When we are truly free to express God deeply, we begin to know true Abundance; Abundance of the Spirit. This Abundance in Spirit allows a deep flow of Creativity to show up in every part of our lives.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, identify places in your life that you are not willing to surrender to God. Take the time to examine your life and see where you are holding on to the control. Make a list in your journal, and then make a mindful intention to turn it over to God. This is a process that may take days, months, even years, but the first step is the identification and the need to release.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am free to activate God. And so it is. 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: 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 NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 8 “The Highest Consciousness of Empowerment”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 8 “The Highest Consciousness of Empowerment”

Meditative Thought: The highest consciousness of empowerment is the awareness that everything is working on your behalf. If we remain in the mindset that our highest good is unfolding right here and right now, that becomes the energetic vibration that will get us through anything; the best will emerge during any and every situation. There are times when we worry and we try to make things happen. There is nothing you can do to make God’s will to unfold and fall into place. God’s will is always unfolding. Spirit is just saying, “Wait and be still.” Everything is working at the right time. Empower yourself with the knowing that the Universe is working in you, for you, and as you. You have the power; there is nothing you need to do, so rest in that consciousness; become the power that you are.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, set the intention to know your power comes from within. You have everything you need; it’s within you. Create a simple mantra that reminds you that you have everything. Repeat the mantra every hour on the hour. Today is the day to anchor in the truth.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, as I wait I know my highest good is unfolding. And so it is.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 29 “Worthy”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Recognizing The Divine – Day 29 “Worthy”

Meditative Thought: What makes us worthy of the life we live? Nothing! “Worthy” is a concept that can only be understood by knowing who and what we are. Self-worth is the knowing that we are the divine expression of the Universe made flesh. You are worthy because you exist. We are worthy because we are God in the flesh. Once we understand this spiritual principle, we are free to move through life doing God’s work. Everything we do we must do from a place of “I am worthy because I am.” Take care of your body temple because you are worth it and because it is the home of Divine Spirit. Do your spiritual practice be the beacon of light that all needs to see. Continue to love, because the person you see is an expression of God.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, stop trying to find your worthiness and become your worthiness. Connect with who and what you are; know that there is nothing you need to do. Write yourself a letter telling your little self that you are worth the practice.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I know that I am a divine expression of the Universe. My body temple is the home of the Divine. And so it is.
