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 21 “Fully Committed”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 21 “Fully Committed”

The Body Connection: When we think of the main components of fitness, we must remember stretching. A fully committed practice incorporates not just the part we like but every element: cardio, strength training, mindful eating, and stretching. After working the body we must remember that stretching not only helps the healing, but it also allows our limbs to have a greater range of motion. I call stretching the appetizer and the desert of fitness. A divine stretch should sandwich each workout. Upon waking, a large glass of water and a morning stretch are a great way to start your day. One of the greatest tools for stretching is Yoga, the physical preparation for meditation; but remember, you do not have to attend a yoga class to practice yoga. Any time is a good time for a downward dog. If you want a body-temple that moves with ease and grace, commit to increasing its flexibility. Jump in fully and surrender to every aspect that is required to be fit; stretching is the key that can open the door to a new way of life.

Meditative Thought: Reverend Cheryl Ward once said to me, “You cannot jump into the river and get a little wet.” We must understand that we can’t just play in the river of life a little. Once we have said yes, we must fully commit to the journey. When we have one foot in the door and one foot out, we create a life of confusion and frustration. God is calling us to a place of full surrender. Because our life is the life of Spirit, let go and let God be your life.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, jump into the river and begin to swim with the stroke of devotion. Fully commit to your practice, whether it be physical, mental, or spiritual. Fully surrender and jump in with no hesitation. Move with a full heart.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I jump into the ocean of devotion and I am wet with God’s love. 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 15 “Commune With Your Higher Self”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 15 “Commune With Your Higher Self”

The Body Connection: The number one reason that transformation becomes an unpleasant experience is that it does not have a divine connection or purpose. It doesn’t matter what form of exercise we do; if it does not have real meaning, it becomes a chore. When working out, commune with your higher self. A bicep curl or a lunge is much more effective when done for a deeper reason than to fit into your skinny jeans. Yes, looking good is a motivation, but there has to be more. As we begin to know our true inner spirit, our reasoning for taking care of our body becomes greater than the desire for a smaller dress size; it’s because we understand who and what we are and that we are worth all of the hard work.

Meditative Thought: We go to God to commune with God; nothing else. When we surrender to a daily practice of deep fellowship with Spirit, our life has meaning. Communion with God is the greatest spiritual tool we can incorporate within our lives. Everything we do has a divine purpose; we only need to fellowship with the Universe to know it.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, bless your journey with a deep fellowship. During your exercise recovery time, remind yourself that you do this because of who you are.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I bless my journey with a deep fellowship in the Spirit. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 13 “Surrender to the Mind of God”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 13 “Surrender to the Mind of God”

The Body Connection: Our body is the human incarnation of the mind of God and it requires a physical practice. Its condition is based on the commitment to taking care of it. Daily exercise, mindful eating, and an affirmative mind are the keys to holistic transformation. Every day is a great day to start; just commit and set the intention to be mindful of your physical incarnation of the Divine.

Meditative Thought: There are times we cannot experience the goodness of life. Our human condition is so overwhelming and we think that nothing will change. We must surrender to the mind of God. Wholeness is a consciousness we can only see with the eyes of God. As we physically transform our body, we must align our thinking with the Universe. We must build a consciousness that allows us to receive our blessings.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, surrender to the work that builds a consciousness to receive kindness and compassion. Along with the physical practice of exercise and mindful eating, prayer and meditation is as important for the transformation. Before you start your daily physical routine, take the time to be still, say a prayer, and anchor your awareness in the Divine.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, the power of God is in?? my life. I am blessed and highly favored. My body is the expression of the Universe and wholeness is the order of the day. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 8 “God Is Love”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 8 “God Is Love”

Meditative Thought: Surrendering to the nature of the Universe is the understanding that God is not a power that comes down to fix your life. God is not something that we can use when it is convenient. God is a spirit that can only be experienced. When we dive deep into the spiritual practice and feel the presence of the Universe, our issues will fade away. The absolute power of God is Love. When we turn our life over to Love, Love becomes the only answer that we need. The only thing that we must do is to relax and allow Universe’s love to flow as our life.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, relax and surrender to Love. Allow its power to guide you to new levels of existence. As Love becomes the healing force in and as your life, set the intention to be the greatest lover of all time.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I relax in the presence of God. I am the manifestation of the Universe and I am blessed. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 7 “Surrender to Rest”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 7 “Surrender to Rest”

Meditative Thought: Keeping your spiritual Sabbath can be one of the most important practices we can do. There comes a time when we must rest in the work that we have done, trust, and walk in the light we have ignited inside of ourselves. When we surrender to the idea that there is nothing else that needs to be done, then we become the divine.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, take a Sabbath from your spiritual work and become the living “Ah-ha” moment. Today, ask the question, “What must I do to embody the character of God?” Today, become the spiritual work you have said yes to.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am the living Christ consciousness in the flesh. And so I am. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 5 “Whose Life Is It Anyway?”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 5 “Whose Life Is It Anyway?”

Meditative Thought: When you feel the need to control the outcome of every situation and you think things are not going your way, ask yourself the question, “Whose life is it anyway?” This simple but divine contemplation will align your consciousness with the truth. Your life is the life of God; therefore you are free to relax. When we choose to operate from a place of surrender, we have the power to live a life that is powerful and filled with meaning.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, relax in God and allow your highest potential to unfold. When challenges appear and life seems to take you off track, ask yourself the question, “Whose life is it anyway?” Go within and listen for your answer.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I move, live, and have my being in God. All my intentions are blessed. It is done and so it is. 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 NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 2 “Surrender to Your Higher Self”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 2 “Surrender to Your Higher Self”

Meditative Thought: Surrendering to your Higher Self is letting go of the control. We must learn to relax and allow God to be God as us. Our life is the life of the Universe that has a grand plan for our highest good to unfold. We must stop controlling the way we want God to perform in our lives. God cannot be put in a box, leashed, and controlled on command. “Let go and let God do the God thing.”

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, allow God to be God in your life. Mindfully release the control, allowing the Universe to flow as your life. Today, when making a decision, turn within and ask God for guidance.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I surrender to a power greater than myself. I live my greatest potential in the mind of God. And so it is. Amen
