Setting Intentions – Skip Jennings

Friday Affirmation and Body Connection – Setting Intentions

As we mentioned earlier in the week, January is a natural month for setting new intentions in our lives. This also includes setting intentions for the body. To set this intention you must be willing to declare what condition you are looking to achieve. This transformation does not necessarily have to do with weight, but how you view your body temple. Setting intentions and the quest in transformation begins with setting this goal. Remember this truth: an external shift is temporary but an internal transformation is lasting. This year, focus on setting these internal intentions to embrace your desires. Be open to receiving and recognizing your wholeness, divinity, and self-love.

This week’s Affirmation: Take a moment out of your schedule and begin with 2-3 deep breathes. Breathe in deeply and then slowly release. On the last one, exhale deeply and imagine yourself pushing the restart in your mind to create a new spiritual journey.

Peace and Blessings

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 13 “Oneness with God”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 13 “Oneness with God”

Today’s Body Connection: Every fitness training session brings us closer to God.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Setting the intention to manifest the life we want begins with knowing your connection with the universal power. A daily practice of anchoring our oneness with God is the only true action required for manifestation. Because God is the source of our life, it is that awareness that empowers our desires. There are three principles for manifestation: The first truth of manifestation is the understanding of the incorporeal essence of God that governs the corporeal nature of man. Whatever it is that we wish to manifest for our life, God is the source. The second truth is what we want for our life we must be willing to become. If we want love, we must be willing to become love. If we want abundance, we must become an opening for prosperity. God can only do for us that which we will allow God to do through us. The third spiritual principle for manifestation is the awareness that we are not here to get anything; we are here to release the presence of God that lives within us.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, every hour on the hour speak a simple mantra that reminds you that you are one with God. Create an affirmation that anchors your awareness that God lives within you. It should be easy to remember and filled with passion, e.g., “God is, I am,” or “My Life is the life of God.” For the next 30 days build a consciousness with statements of truth.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am one with God and life is good. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 12 “Embracing Your Self”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 12 “Embracing Your Self”

Today’s Body Connection: Every intention is a yes for embracing your life force. The word embrace means to hold tight to something or someone you adore. Fitness is a big fat yes to life. When we talk about life, it is the space of being, the vibration the Divine. When we set the intention to embrace life and activate the universal flow of energy, exercise is one of the greatest tools we have.

Today’s Meditative Thought: This year, set the intention to embrace your self, your full self. We are our own worst critics. We can beat ourselves up more than anyone else. We must learn to accept ourselves and to embrace and love every part of our being. One of the practices I work on with my clients is “Loving Language” with our selves. When we use language like “I hate my hips” or “I hate my lips,” we anchor a mindset of defeat. If there is something about yourself that you dislike or wish to change, it is an invitation to create a deeper spiritual practice that will always elevate growth within your life. With that awareness, we are free to bless that which causes us discomfort as it always leads us back to God.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, speak words of empowerment. Be aware of your language. Commit to the practice of the Love Language. If your words do not inspire you to love your self, don’t speak them. Take the time to breathe and wait a moment before you speak. Set the intention to be aware of the power of your language.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I speak the language of Love. I bless my life with divine words of the Universe. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 6 “Remember to Remember”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 6 “Remember to Remember”

Today’s Body Connection: Choose the workouts that help you to remember your intentions. If you set the goal to be the best you can be, choose a practice that anchors the intention. The physical should always be in alignment with the mental and spiritual goals. Set the intention to always remember your truth.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Waking up is one thing, but staying awake is a completely different practice. Remembering to remember our divine self can be more challenging than experiencing “Ah-Ha” moments. Each and every day there are eye-opening insights that activate evolution, but then comes the action required to implement true change. Once we begin the journey to shift, we must continue the work in order to remember. This could come from prayer, meditation, sacred study, fellowship, and self-contemplation. Set the intention to “remember to remember” every day.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set the intention to stay awake. A quick mantra can always help: “I am one with God.” Create your mantra that keeps you on track. Commit to a practice of aligning yourself with the one power of God.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, the qualities of God is my life. I “remember to remember” my purpose.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 1 “A New Day”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 1 “A New Day”

Today’s Body Connection: Setting new intentions for the body-temple is a must in order for a real shift to occur. Be willing to declare what condition you are looking to achieve. All change and transformation begins with setting goals. Remember this truth: an external shift is temporary but an internal transformation is lasting. This year, instead of focusing on losing pounds, try setting the intention to embrace your desires. Be open to receiving and recognizing your wholeness, divinity, and self-love.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Today is a new day, a New Year, and our life continues into eternity. Because our existence is never-ending, we get the chance to push the restart button and begin anew. This start-over is fueled with intentions. The word intention means to be more, to stretch, to grow. When we set intentions, we must be willing to expand our mind, body, and spirit. This New Year’s Day is the perfect time to begin your eternal existence again. Remember, each day is a new day, each moment is a new moment, each breath is a new breath, and that we have never experienced this moment in God ever before. Don’t waste this new day; use it to grow and be more than you ever thought you could be.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set the intention to start again. Create your own restart button by realizing that you are in the middle of eternity. Take time to meditate on the newness of each breath, moment, and day. Today, see the freshness of God, and refresh your life.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I live the newness of God that is my life. I push the restart of eternity and create a new spiritual journey. And so it is. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 24 “Light Knows Only Light”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 24 “Light Knows Only Light”

Today’s Body Connection: Increasing the intensity of your workout can be done in different ways: through speed, range of motion, and power. When we increase our physical activity, it is to be more; therefore the intention is to shine more light. Today, increase your effort and feel your light shining brighter.

Today’s Meditative Thought: The Light only knows itself. The absolute power of God is divine qualities of love, joy, peace, oneness, and abundance, and it is a single power. There is no opposite of the Universal presence. This evil that man chooses to participate in is the forgetfulness of the human condition. We must be willing to recognize the absolute oneness of God. When we see Spirit as good or evil or as a duality in our existence, we open ourselves up to believing in the power of lack, limitation, disease, death, and other human experiences. In this plane of existence there are all these challenges, but it is the belief in these challenges that gives them power. God is only its absolute self. Believe in the One Power, the One Mind, and the One Presence that is the Light.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, tap into the Absolute. Open your heart to experience the true qualities of God. Take a moment to meditate on the power of God that is the One.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, there is only the absolute presence of God that lives within me. My life is the life of the Light and I allow it to shine bigger and brighter than ever before. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 19 “The Light of Prosperity”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 19 “The Light of Prosperity”

Today’s Body Connection: Working with a trainer is a great way to stay focused and accountable to your practice. As a personal trainer, I not only become a tool for inspiration, I become a friend, willing to stand with my clients as they transform their body-temples. A coach can be exactly what you need to jump-start your physical practice. Be open to having a new experience; allow a coach to shine their light and help you with their body of knowledge gathered through experience. Prosperity and abundance of information is at your fingertips and can be giving through a coach, just be open to receive it.

Today’s Meditative Thought: The Light is always prosperous, flourishing, and abundant. When we surrender ourselves to God, these are the gifts that we receive. We get to participate in the enjoyment of life. There is nothing that the Holy Spirit withholds from us. We have it all; we only need to be woken up.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, awaken the Light within you and enjoy your life. Everything you have is a blessing. Celebrate the prosperity of the Light. Create a mantra that empowers your plenitude. There is more than enough.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am free and I participate in my own enjoyment of life.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 24 “Your Transformation Deepens Your Practice”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 24 “Your Transformation Deepens Your Practice”

Today’s Body Connection: As we become more aware of our connection with the Universe, our practice becomes a tool to deepen our transformation and vice versa. As we transform our lives there is a deeper desire for the practice. We must be willing to immerse ourselves in the essence of life. We must be willing to allow ourselves the space to go within to know more. Our body-temple requires an up leveling by changing and shifting the workout.

Meditative Thought: Prayer is the vibrational field and the open space that is required for transformation. We must commune with God that lives within us so that it can transform our existence. Once we know that we move, live, and have our being in divine spirit, our life becomes primed and ready for change. We must be willing to turn our transformation over to a power greater than ourselves. Our prayer time is the sacred key that unlocks the door of transformation.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set aside a prayer time to create a willingness to change your life. Create a practice that will anchor and empower transformation.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, my every action is anchored in the prayer field of the Divine. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 8 “Treatments”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 8 “Treatments”

Today’s Body Connection: The word treatment means action and management. When I think of body treatments what comes to mind is healing and recovery. Whether we are already physically active or just beginning our practice, we must remember our healing treatments and management. Stretching the body before and after every workout is key. Taking time to see your massage therapist allows you to activate deep recovery during your period of the physical transformation. A weekly healing session with your holistic practitioner takes you to a deeper level of physical, mental, and spiritual empowerment. Yes, we must work hard, but we must heal even harder. One of the most successful practices to repair the body is meditation. If we constantly breakdown the body without equally nurturing it, we will never know wholeness.

Meditative Thought: I attended The University of Transformational Studies and Leadership at the Agape International Spiritual Center, where we study a form of prayer called Affirmative Prayer; It’s also known as prayer treatments or mind treatments.” I am asked quite frequently what is the difference between prayer and a prayer treatment. The easiest way to differentiate between the two is to remember that prayer treatment is a prayer, but not every prayer is a treatment. Ernest Holmes says a treatment is when you acknowledge the Omniscience, Omnipotence, and Omnipresence of God and recognize man’s unity with spirit. During Affirmative Prayer, there are specific steps a spiritual practitioner conducts, 6 step in all: Gratitude, Recognition of God, Unification of the One, Realization of the truth, Thanksgiving, and Release. Each step aligns the mind and body, with the Divine. Today dive into your prayer practice so that you may know your authentic self.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, acknowledge the Omniscience, Omnipotence, and Omnipresence power of God in your prayer time. Speak a word about the greatness of the Universe.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I recognize the omnipresence of God. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 3 “Affirmative Language in Use”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 3 “Affirmative Language in Use”

Today’s Body Connection: When you work out, what is the language you use? What words fuel your workout? “Yes I can” or “Oh no, not again”? Our language and thoughts coagulate into our existence; we must be aware of what we say as we work out. Our words can either assist us or block us from our goals. The practice is not only to work the body, but we must also be willing to empower the workout with a strong mental and verbal practice. As we speak words that empower, we will see a shift and the body will move with grace and power like never before.

Meditative Thought: Why Affirmative Prayer? Prayer is our spiritual thoughts, and thoughts create our existence. If we believe that The Universe is out to get us, then that becomes our truth. If we declare our separation from The Divine and live as a victim, we deem ourselves as powerless. Affirmative prayer is a tool to shift our consciousness from victim to Victor. Prayer is a way to return our mind and our thinking back to God. The prodigal son only remains the prodigal son as long as he wants. He always had the power to return home. Prayer is our road map home.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, consciously release the victim mentality and begin living life as a victory. At the end of your day, take time to journal your experience.

Affirmation: Just for this moment… just for this breath, I pray to shift. I am a Victor and I release the victim. And so I am. And so I let it be. Amen
