DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Embracing the Practice – Day 3 “Embracing Prayer”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Embracing the Practice – Day 3 “Embracing Prayer”

Meditative Thought: Embracing a prayer practice means to completely immerse oneself in this sacred activity. When we begin to understand that our connection to God is the one and only power we have, it is the embracing of the prayer practice that expands that connection. Surrender to prayer. Surrender to God and awaken your highest potential. When we embrace prayer, we embrace God. Communication with our Higher Consciousness leads to a love affair with Love. Embracing the prayer practice cultivates that love affair.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, surrender to prayer. Allow your life to be a living prayer magnet. Ask God how you can deepen your prayer life. Journal about the process, communicate with God through your writing.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am a magnet for God’s goodness and I am blessed. And so it is. Amen.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Embracing the Practice – Day 2 “What Is Prayer?”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Embracing the Practice – Day 2 “What Is Prayer?”

Meditative Thought: Prayer is the practice of communication with our highest consciousness. All prayer is our direct connection to a power greater than our self, which lives within our being. A prayer practice is a consistent activity that helps us to builds a strong spiritual awareness, helps to expand our faith, and creates an oneness consciousness with God. Our greatest gift is the ability to connect with our higher self where true power truly is. Our worship and communion to the Universal Presence remind us that we are alive and living with a purpose. Prayer is the invocation or invitation to spend time with Love, Joy, Bliss, and Divine Happiness. When we feel our life is out of balance, try prayer.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, begin your prayer practice. Set the intention to connect with Source every hour on the hour. Don’t make a move until you have asked your higher self the question “Is this for my betterment?”

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am the prayer that is praying me and all is well. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Embracing the Practice – Day 1 “What Is The Practice?”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Embracing the Practice – Day 1 “What Is The Practice?”

Meditative Thought: The practice is anything we do repetitively. A spiritual practice is a dedicated practice with the intention of expanding our consciousness and awareness of God. This activity is dedicated to the divine; a path to our natural state of bliss. Our personal journey inward to find peace is man’s greatest intention.

But sometimes we get off track. We use other practices, like drugs, sex, and shopping, to fill an imaginary hole within our heart. This human experience of feeling that something missing is a divine invitation to reconnect with what is real. All that we desire is within us. When we seek money, power, prestige, or anything outside of ourselves to make us happy, it is fleeting and disappointing.

The practice is the only thing that brings us back to our natural state of bliss. It is an inside job and nothing but our spiritual journey will ever fulfill us. Prayer, meditation, sacred study, fellowship, affirmations, sacred service, and generosity are the key practice that reconnects us with our “Higher Self.” When we are willing to take on a practice to transform our lives, the Universe will show up to support us. We are not alone on this journey to enlightenment.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, begin your journey within. Embrace a spiritual practice that will help you to know your “Higher Self.” For the next seven days commit to doing something for your soul. Read an inspirational book, meditate for five minutes, begin to pray whatever it is, today is a great day to start.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I embrace my highest potential and I am anchored by my sacred practice. All is well and good in my life and I am blessed. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 29 Days of Love – Day 29 “Recognizing Love”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 29 Days of Love – Day 29 “Recognizing Love”

Meditative Thought: Today, set the intention to recognize love. It is in the space of openness to recognize that love reveals itself. We will recognize love when we are open to seeing love from within. The power of love is not that it exists; the power of love is that we recognize it. The revaluation of the existence of God is only valid to the one who reveals it. The God frequency is always on but we are not always tuned in. The practice of prayer and mediation is our tuning fork. It is in our quiet time and stillness that we build a consciousness to reveal God and love in our third dimensional existence. Today, tune in to God and see how it appears to you.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, make a list of all the God connections you encounter. Where do you see God in others? How does She show up in other people? Start the list with yourself and let it expand.

Affirmations: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I see who I really am. I am a child of the most high and I am a conqueror. Today, I see the glory in everyone and I rejoice. And so it is. Amen.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 29 Days of Love – Day 28 “A Poem of Love”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 29 Days of Love – Day 28 “A Poem of Love”

Meditative Thought: Love is the highest vibration and consciousness of our existence. We must learn to fall in love with love. One of the greatest gift I can remember receiving from a person was a love poem. The time and effort it must have taken for that person to create something just for me; I was blown away. I feat the commitment to Love, I felt the passion. In this moment and in this time that we live in, we need passionate lovers of love. I invite you to be that person. We can change vibration of any situation, but it begins with love.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, create your own poem about love. It does not have to be perfect; just create. Have fun with it. Make it simple, fun, and full of joy. It can rhyme if you want, but it does not have to. Just create.

Affirmations: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am a creative being with one activity: to express God’s Love. Every moment I breathe is a moment I create new art. Every word I speak is a creation with God, as God, for God. I use my talents to transcend from glory to greater glory. And so it is.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 29 Days of Love – Day 27 “Sharing Your Love”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 29 Days of Love – Day 27 “Sharing Your Love”

Meditative Thought: Once we know that we are love, it’s time to share it. The ‘Law of Radiance’ says we radiate what we are. We are a reflection of our consciousness. We are what we think we are. If we know that we are love, we will radiate love. If we know that we are talented, we will shine our talents. Allow your light to be the greatest illumination of your awareness.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, make a list of all your talents and how you want to share them. Then go out and share your gifts with anyone who will receive them.

Affirmations: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I share my many gifts with this world and I serve this planet. I am connected to the Divine Intelligence, which energizes my creativity. My talents are endless, and the inspiration never stops. I better my world because I am willing to share my gifts. And so it is. Amen.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 29 Days of Love – Day 26 “Being Love”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 29 Days of Love – Day 26 “Being Love”

Meditative Thought: Today, be love. Everything that you wish for is already in you. You bring the love that you wish to find. Stop looking outside of yourself for what you can only find within. We can only receive what we are willing to become. So today, become love. We so often search high and low for the love that seems to elude us. The truth is Love is calling us to a place of being. The Universe is Love, I am one in Love; therefore I am love.

Your Spiritual Assignment: We use the generic statement “have a great day!” too often. Why not change that statement to “be a great day!” Today, make a list of ways you can “be a great day!” Try to achieve the goals on your list. Pass on the love to someone else. Encourage others to “be a great day!”

Affirmations: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I give the world the greatest gift of all, Love. Today, I show the world its greatest gift, God. Today, I am an offering to this planet. Today, I am a great day for the earth to experience. Today, I serve Mother Earth and her inhabitants. And so it is. Amen.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 29 Days of Love – Day 25 “Love and Gratitude”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 29 Days of Love – Day 25 “Love and Gratitude”

Meditative Thought: Gratitude is the highest form of appreciation for God working in your life. What are you grateful for? What in your life is truly working? Maybe your job, love relationship, friendships, or school; connect with something that is working. Gratitude can also come from the recognition of something that you do so well. Think of something you Love about yourself, something that really expresses your true nature. Once you have connected with that one thing within your mind, feel the energy of joy and gratitude welling up in the center of your being. This feeling or energy is the activation of love and gratitude. It doesn’t matter how big or small, we must find that one thing that says, “Yes, life is good.” The key to happiness is love and gratitude.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, make a gratitude list for all your blessings. List all the gifts the Universe has given you. This will help you to shift into a place of joy and happiness in your life. Gratefulness is key for manifesting more good things. If you know that there is only good surrounding you, then that is what you bring to your life.

Affirmations: Just for this moment…just for this breath, my head is free from clutter and my mind is clear from the static of the world. I see the Divine vision for my life. The room of my soul is in order and I decorate it with God’s furniture. My life is the life of Spirit and God guides my footsteps. And so it is.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 29 Days of Love – Day 24 “Release to Love”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 29 Days of Love – Day 24 “Release to Love”

Meditative Thought: We must release our agenda to understand the true meaning of love. When we have an attachment to an outcome, there is no room for the Universe to move. Unforgiveness is an attachment to someone. When we choose not to forgive, we chose to hold on to an energy that slowly poisons the mind, body, and spirit. To fully love we must forgive. We must let go of judgment so that we may free ourselves. Unforgiveness is like being chained to a rock that is slowly sinking to the bottom of the ocean. Today, break the bondage of unforgiveness and Love again.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Are you choosing not to forgive anyone? Do you hold on to resentments that eat away at your soul? You can only release your resentments by forgiveness. We can only forgive by realizing our part in the resentment. Today, write a list of all your resentments and examine them. Next to each resentment write down the part you played in the situation. After the inventory is done, read it to a friend you trust, and then forgive and release your resentments. Holding on to resentments is like jumping off a bridge and hoping the other person will die. It gets us nowhere.

Affirmations:Just for today, just for this moment, just for this breath, I am loved because God lives in me. I love myself because I am God’s perfect expression. I am joy because I share God’s joy with others. I am forgiven because I forgive myself and everyone else. And I let it be. Amen.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 29 Days of Love – Day 23 “Loving the Planet”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 29 Days of Love – Day 23 “Loving the Planet”

Meditative Thought: Today, let’s fall in love with the planet. Mother earth is a divine being that loves us so much. It is time we love her back. Loving this gracious space means taking care of it, blessing it, praying for it, nurturing it, and being one with it. We must change the way we live and the way we consume our resources. We can simply do this by being more aware and present of our home. We have one planet that we all live on; let’s fall in love with the Earth. We are all connected in God, so know the truth: what we do in our everyday life affects everyone and everything. We are the collective, earth — you, me, and God.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, list ways you bless the planet and the people who live on it. Start off by writing “I bless the planet by…” This should be an ever-growing list. Understand, your life is the life of God, and to be of service is the only way to live.

Affirmations: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am the blessing that brings joy to my life. I am the blessing that brings love to my world. I am the blessing that brings God to this dimension. I am the one that blesses Planet Earth. Because God lives in me, I am a living blessing. And so it is.
