DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 22 “Humility”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 22 “Humility”

The Body Connection: One of the things that we strive for is balance, physically, mentally, and spiritually. During our journey toward a more fit life, balance or the lack of balance can bring us to a place of humility. Have you ever been in a yoga class and a very challenging yoga pose has brought you to your knees? And those squats and lunges during your strength-training sessions can challenge you beyond belief. Even the simple act of standing on one foot with your eyes closed will show you the need to work on your balance. The secret to achieving balance is to become the balance, and that is an inside job. When working on your physical practice, remind yourself that balance comes from a place of center within. Not matter what form of balance you are striving for; it comes from inside of you. Balance is a feeling that can only be achieved in the practice of stillness. True balance is achieved when we humble ourselves to the practice of mindfulness. Stay teachable as you awaken to the balance that is within you.

Meditative Thought: Humility is fully surrendering to God, allowing us to be teachable to the lesson that we have said yes to. Because we are the likeness, and an idea in the mind of God, we are not limited to the growth we can experience. The lesson today is humility to feel balanced. Every lesson leads us to a deeper awareness for God within, which is always in order and balanced.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remain teachable; humble yourself to the divine lessons of life. Mindfully ask the question, “What am I to learn from this situation?” or “What is seeking to emerge from this challenge?” When the answers come, write in down so you don’t forget. During your time of the physical, mental, our spiritual practices, explore, contemplate and cultivate these expansive questions. Keep a record of all you divine downloads; this record of enlighten can be used in moments of forgetfulness.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I say yes to the expansion of my soul. I am humble and teachable and ready to learn. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 20 “True Strength Training, True Healing”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 20 “True Strength Training, True Healing”

The Body Connection: The purpose of resistance training is to strengthen your muscles, joints, and skeletal system by placing stress on the body. With the use of weights; bands and or your own body weight, this physical practice breaks down the body so that during rest time, it gets stronger. Resistance training is important to combat obesity, fatigue, osteoporosis and any physical disease that we might experience. Like spiritual work, strength training sometimes is neglected because of lack of knowledge. You don’t need a gym, just your willingness to get strong. The simple act of standing and sitting in a chair or walking steps will make all the difference. Here are a few easy ways to strengthen you temple. Try standing and sitting in a chair 20 times, 3 time a day. Guess what? You are doing squats. Take the step instead of the elevator; you are build strong legs. Try 2 or 3 standing push-ups. Face the wall with yours hand on the wall, bend and straiten your elbow to complete a push up or what I call a push away. Feel the power that lives in you. Just 10 sit-ups, 3 times a day will activate healing in the body. That old set of dumbbells in the closet or the garage is calling your name. You can always take baby steps. Once you begin your practice you will feel better; you will see yourself in a new light, and that is true healing. This physical activity also allows us to connect with our inner strength. Today, I invite you to start your strength training.

Meditative Thought: When we think of healing, most of us think of the physical, but true healing is always about the spirit. What block our revelation of inner strength are old paradigms that there is something wrong. The truth is every practice, mental, physical, and spiritual are design for us to know our own divinity. But surrendering to a divine idea comes at a price. We must let go of everything and everyone that no longer serves the purpose of our growth.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, allow true healing to be your vision. Begin a resistance-training program with the intention to connect with your inner strength. Before or after your meditation, do a push up, sit up and or squat. Connect your physical strength with your spiritual strength.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, every step I take is infused with the power of God. I allow my highest potential to come forth as I live my greatest life yet to be seen. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 18 “The Greatest Lesson”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 18 “The Greatest Lesson”

The Body Connection: Allow your fitness to be your greatest lesson. The body will tell you everything you need to know. If you are in good health, you feel amazing. And when you are experiencing challenges in the body-temple, it will let you know it. We must remember that the body is always neutral, so don’t judge it. Our body will only operate from our intention. The most important thing we can remember is to not hold our bodies accountable for the decisions we have made. The next great body lesson is to love yourself no matter what size you are. Loving yourself unconditionally is the great lesson, so embrace it fully.

Meditative Thought: One of the greatest lessons in life is the surrender to the impersonal nature of God. God simply is. God does not play the favorites game. The mind of God is always bestowing infinite blessings upon us all. God does not reward or punish based on the way we act. The absolute presence of God is just that: absolute. There is no duality. God does not show grace to some and not to others; we only need to open our heart and receive. Our consciousness is the only thing that holds us back from the abundant flow of the Universe. We must surrender to the fact that God is in the blessing business.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, be open to the lesson of self-love your body provides. During your workout, repeat the mantra, “I love my self as I transform my self.”

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am open and receptive to the blessing of the Universe. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 12 “Surrender and Forgive”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 12 “Surrender and Forgive”

The Body Connection: It’s time to start again. So what, you fell off your diet and you haven’t worked out in days. It’s time to forgive yourself and move on. When we choose to transform the body, there will always be successes and challenging times. It does not matter if you fall, it maters that you get up and keep trying. The body is a temple, housing your essence. It needs your daily practice. Health and fitness is your birthright and it is time to claim it. Surrender your self-sabotage, forgive your shortcomings, and push the restart button.

Meditative Thought: Unforgiveness blocks of the flow of God within our lives. The only thing holding us back from the fullness of the Universal flow is our inability to forgive others and ourselves. Transformation begins with love. We have two choices: we can love ourselves through the transformation or continue to beat ourselves up. The choice is ours.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, examine the areas of your life that are in need of forgiveness. Make the decision to release and move on. As you explore your life, journal about what you find. It’s important to remove all your mental and spiritual blocks so your body’s transformation is filled with ease and grace.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I stand in the spirit of grace and I am forgiven. My body is the living expression of the Universe. 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 21 “The Power to Check In”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 21 “The Power to Check In”

Meditative Thought: Our greatest power is the option to check in with our self. Our greatest gift is the knowing of our spiritual authority. God Lives within; therefore when we go to the inner space, we return to God. Here are some questions we can ask ourselves to keep on track: “Am I expressing love today?” “Am I being compassionate today?” “Do I see grace in this situation?” “Am I in the oneness consciousness with everyone today, or am I isolating?” “Where am I not seeing God in this situation?” “How can I share more love today?” “Am I choosing to be harmonious?” “How can I show more joy today?’ “How can I share more God today?” When we check in, expect the answer. Know that when we set the intention to be more and to share more God, we will receive direction to support our intentions.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, set the intention to check in. Take time to ask yourself the questions that clarify any unsure situation. When conflict arises within you, breathe and contemplate. The answers are within you.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I choose to see God today. And so it is!

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 10 “The Positive Power”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 10 “The Positive Power”

Meditative Thought: A positive attitude is what I call “Positive Power.” The energy you that you align your intention with is key. Keeping a positive attitude will give you the power that makes all things happen. Positive Power energizes your goals and keeps you focused on a day-to-day base. Our emotions are connected to our existence. The vibrations we send out help or hinder our personal growth. Gratitude is the foundation of Positive Power. Be grateful for this time. Understand that gratitude is a divine quality of the Universe; therefore Positive Power is God in action.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today set the intention to only participate in positive interaction. Be mindful of your words. Only speak words that inspire your life.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am inspired. I stand in gratitude and empower my intentions with Positive Power. 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.
