DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, and Gratitude – Day 9 “Gratitude”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, and Gratitude – Day 9 “Gratitude”

Today’s Body Connection: Begin your workout within a space of gratitude. If we use positive energy as the jumping-off point for transformation, we will find it easier to manifest the condition we seek. Remember that gratitude is the highest appreciation for what is working in your life. Check in with your body-temple, find something that you know is working, and use that energy to propel your workout to a practice. Everything is connected to our consciousness. The mental state in which we approach the practice is the place where we will end. In other words, if our consciousness and minds are in alignment with success, all our goals will be golden. Begin your workout with gratitude and you will see the blessing.

Meditative Thought: Affirmative Prayer Step 1 – Gratitude: It is important to begin our prayer treatment with gratitude. Gratitude is the highest vibration for manifestation. If we begin our prayer with thanksgiving it sets the tone and it is always good to start everything in the highest vibrational field possible.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, begin your prayers with gratitude. Set the tone and vibration of the prayer. Feel the vibration. As you workout, continue to pray from the place of appreciation. Focus on keeping your gratitude field open and active throughout the day and at the end, journal about your experience.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am grateful for God. I set the tone of my life with thanksgiving. Gratitude is the order of my life. And so it is. 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 6 “Song of Prayer”

oDAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 6 “Song of Prayer”

Today’s Body Connection: When you work out, try infusing your activity with music. Music can up-level your consciousness while your transform your body. During the fitness classes I teach, music is an essential element to the class. Music helps to keep the rhythm and the pulse of the workout. It can take your mind off the discomfort associated with exercise. The vibration of music can also elevate the energy of the workout session. Music has a way of connecting with the heart chakra, allowing you to feel the energy of love. During your next training session, mindfully choose music that will assist you with the work you have said yes to.

Meditative Thought: Singing is the same as praying twice. The lyrics send out a vibration, accompanied by the vibrations of the melody. Whenever you sing, your vibration is lifted to new heights. The music helps to anchor our spirit. Every song has a message. What song do you sing?

Today’s Action Plan: Today, sing your prayers. It doesn’t matter if you think you can sing or not; it’s about your intentions to elevate your consciousness.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, “Sing, sing a song, make it simple to last the whole day long. Don’t worry that it’s not good enough for anyone else to hear, just sing, sing a song.” Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 5 “Higher Communication”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 5 “Higher Communication”

Today’s Body Connection: What is the body? This is the question that we must answer and remember on a daily basis. The body is a temple for your spirit. We must come to the realization that we are more than just bones and muscles and that our purpose expands far beyond what we can see. When we truly know who and what we are, transformation becomes a priority. We must take care of our body-temple so that we may do the work that we have said yes to. The practice of good stewardship of this gift called life is a sacred act; let’s not take it lightly.

Meditative Thought: When is a good time for prayer? Prayer is our communication with our inner spirit, our time with God. Prayer is our anchor in the rocky sea of life. Our spiritual work should be centered on praying without ceasing. It’s not easy, but it will expand or consciousness. Because we are one with the Universe we have a choice about how we approach every situation. We can show up as the Divine, and speak the words that affirm that connection. Remember, you are God speaking to God, words from God, to God. It’s about your awareness. Every moment can be a moment of constant communication with Spirit.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, let’s be mindful of what we say, how we say it, and to whom we are saying it. Be in constant prayer. Speak words that uplift vibrations. Take the time to meditate on your experience. See what new insights arise for you.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I speak only words that uplift my mind, body, and spirit. And so it is.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 4 “Freedom”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 4 “Freedom”

Today’s Body Connection: The reason for exercising the body is to activate freedom within our lives. When the body hinders us, our “dis-ease” is all we think about. When de-condition is the way of life, it has a way of dimensioning our hope. Allow your physical practice the opportunity to improve your quality of life. You are worth it. The goal is always to feel better. Today set the intention to improve your life with a strong physical practice.

Meditative Thought: Affirmative Prayer is the practice of freedom. When we speak an affirmation or affirmative prayer we choose to co-creation with the Universe. When we speak with authority we begin to lose the chains of bondage. Praying to a God outside of us, hoping that a blessing will come…is powerless. When we realize our oneness with the Universe, we empower our lives. Affirmative Prayer is the knowing that you have everything you need and that you’re free to live your fullest life.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, pray to a God that lives within you. Speak to Spirit like you would to an old friend, because it is. The Universe has been with you since before time, and it will never leave you.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I pray to God that lives within me. I am one with infinite Spirit. I allow my prayers to activate Divine inspiration in my life. And so it is. 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

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 2 “The Affirmative”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 2 “The Affirmative”

Today’s Body Connection: During your physical practice, what is it that you hope to achieve? What are your desires? What is the intention? In other words, how would you like to feel after your workout? We must constantly check in with our self; self-exploration is the key when transforming the body-temple. It is our hopes and desires that will carry us from point A to point B, and we must keep the faith that transformation is possible and that our goals are achievable. Hope is the answer when your current condition looks unchangeable. We must keep that little spark of light at the forefront of every session. No matter what your weight-loss goal is — five, ten, or even 15 pounds — stay with it; you can do it!

Meditative Thought: Most people believe in God, a Universal force that governs our existence. Prayer is a way to access and commune with that energy. I used to pray to a God outside myself, asking and beseeching a gray, old father figure for the desires of my heart. Now I understand that God is within each and every being. I am one with this all-powerful force. I pray with an understanding that I am one with the source of life. I use a form of praying called, “Affirmative Prayer.” Instead of begging for something, affirmative prayer states the truth of life. Affirmative prayer declares our unification with God. I believe we have everything we need. Affirmative prayer is a tool to anchor that belief. It is no longer whom I am praying to, it is where I am praying from. I am praying from a place of knowing that I am Love, Joy, Abundance, Wholeness, Peace, Order, Balance, Gratitude, Oneness, and Compassion. Affirmative prayer is a prayer field anchored by the universe, immersed in God.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, during your prayer time, practice affirmative prayer. Speak the truth of who you are. Say, “I am Abundance, Love, Joy, Grace, Compassion, Creativity, Wholeness, and Prosperity.” Take the time to journal your feelings and the vibration affirmative prayer gives you.

Affirmation: Just for this moment… just for this breath, my life is the life of God and I am one with all Divine qualities. And so I let it be. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 1 “Creating a Practice”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 1 “Creating a Practice”

Today’s Body Connection: We have all heard the saying, “practice makes perfect.” Now let’s change it around: “perfect makes practice.” What I mean by that is when we understand our divine perfection we free ourselves to do the practice required to sustain that awareness. For the next 30 days commit to a physical practice. When we begin to move our body we activate a spirit of hope. Every time we say yes to fitness, everything else becomes a reflection of the practice. Walk, run, dance, weight train, it does not matter; get moving and watch your life unfold to greatness.

Meditative Thought: Do something for 30 days and the practice becomes embedded in your consciousness. I invite you to take part in the next 30 Days of faith, hope, prayer, and gratitude to help transform your body, mind, and spirit. Join me on a 30-day journey exploring the practices that empower your life, experiencing prayer, meditation, affirmations, and a commitment to physical activity. It doesn’t matter what you believe; just know that there is one universal force that expresses itself in so many ways. The next 30 days focus on the space we practice from, not who we practice to. Make a commitment to pray for your family and friends, and be grateful for the people in your life. I believe that the practice is the spiritual answer to every problem.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, take all your cares and worries to prayer. The outcome will amaze you. Write a letter to God. Tell the Universe about what ails you. Now imagine a God bigger than your problems.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, in the mind of God I have no problems or issues. God is bigger than any worries I could have. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 27 – “Transformation Is Growth”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 27 – “Transformation Is Growth”

Today’s Body Connection: Remember, we are on this path to grow. When we speak of transformation, we speak of being better and more of our authentic self, and that require growth. Whenever you say yes to being better, there is always a time of “stirring up the pot,” or what is known as a “growth edge.” Transformation can sometimes feel like an agitation of the soul, an uncomfortable space that we would like to run from. We need to hold tight, stand firm, and allow the growth to happen. Transformation of the body can be one of the must uncomfortable experiences, but remember, physical challenges will lead to a breakthrough.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Transformation is about growth, being more than you ever thought you could be. When we truly shift our conscious thoughts, we become stronger, more anchored in infinite possibilities. Our willingness to grow and be more is the key. Your yes is the key that opens the door of life. Your consent to be more is your gateway to success.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, begin your transformation with a big, fat Yes.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I say a big, fat yes to growth. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 23 – “Remembering”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 23 – “Remembering”

Today’s Body Connection: Every workout is a time to remember who and who’s you are. Our life is a dance of forgetting and remembering our power. The physical practice is always a tool for remembering, if we set the intention. When you do cardiovascular training, remember your capacity to breathe. When you lift weights, remind yourself of the never-ending strength that lives within your soul. When you take a Pilates class or train your core, remind yourself that a strong foundation is needed to build your life. And our yoga practice is a reminder to be more flexible in our lives. Our physical practice reminds us of the spiritual journey we have said yes to. It is all connected!

Today’s Meditative Thought: Transformation is the journey of remembering who and who’s you are. Today, remember that you are divine and fine. There is only one thing to change, your consciousness and that is everything.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, transform the way you see yourself; be still and remember. Mindfully move through your day with only empowering thoughts. Whenever you think of your body-temple, bless it with love. This might be a challenge at first but you can do it. Set the intention to remember to be kind and love to your self.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember to remember. Amen
