Happy New You and One of Ten Golden Rules for Transformation

The New Year has come! What I say to that, is happy new you. Welcome to the new school of thought from 2014 boo! This is the time I want all of you to think about what are the things that you would like in your life. It can be anything you want, from a new job to a new way of life, whatever your heart desires. You can have it, and you deserve it. I mean it! It all starts with you.

To kick off the New Year in 2014, I have a new book coming out that I would love to share with you all here. The book is called Total Transformation and in this book I go into great detail about my ten principles of transformation and how they can be applied to our everyday lives. I use these principles with my clients and ultimately within my own life. The book will be released sometime this spring and I wanted to share a little preview with you for the next ten weeks.

In each chapter of the book, I give growth work exercises. Feel free to write these down and begin your transformational journey with me each week and pick up the book as well for more growth work and tips.

Check out the excerpt below:

Success

What is the meaning of success?

Let’s talk about success. I always say that you have to ask the big questions. Let’s make sure we are thinking big. I want you to think big and remove any limitations.

The big question is: What are your goals, desires and intentions for your life?

Will these things change? Yes. And as we grow, our desires, goals and intentions will expand and change. This comes from any of the trio: your mind, body or spirit. The thought can be anything from finding a new job, to finding a new love.

Growth work: If you could do anything in the world, what would it be?

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 7 “Knowing Your Perfection”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 7 “Knowing Your Perfection”

Today’s Body Connection: Your goal is always to know your perfection. Choose the workouts that awaken your awareness of your excellence. If running activates empowerment, run. If dancing generates joy, than dance. If yoga is the practice that lets you know that you are divine, this year do more yoga. Perfection is who we are, not what we do. To know your divine self, you must go within, do a little self-exploration. To truly know who you are, be willing to take the journey.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Perfection is not what we do; perfection is what we are. We must constantly remind ourselves that we are more than heartache, lack, limitation, disease, doubt, or fear that we may experience during this human incarnation. We are divine beings. We must use our third eye, our spiritual eye, to see beyond our faults, character defects, the ego mind, and other distractions. There are times in our lives that we cannot recognize the presence of God and need to ask for help. It could be help from a practitioner, a spiritual counselor, friends, or God itself. But the only way to truly know God is in the stillness of our hearts. We must take the take the time to be still and know that God is our life; therefore perfection is what we are. It is in the stillness, the holy space of our consciousness, where we can experience the true nature of God. We must always set the intention to know more God. We must set the intention to grow in our spiritual journey.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set the intention to see with your third eye. Set the intention to expand your consciousness though prayer and meditation. During your day, ask the Universe to reveal itself. There may be time when you just stop and say a prayer, “God show yourself,” then expect God to show up.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, my mind, body, and spirit is the life of God. I am an on-purpose being on a mission to know God. As I bless myself, I bless the planet. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 4 “Love Yourself”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 4 “Love Yourself”

Today’s Body Connection: Our main intention for physical practice is to learn to love ourselves. There is nothing outside of our consciousness or awareness that can fulfill us like self-love. When we set the goal to grow from the inside out, it doesn’t matter what the physical practice is, it will always have the same outcome: empowerment. The journey to self-love can be long and challenging, but it is always worth it. You are worth it.

Today’s Meditative Thought: The greatest love is self-love, not a conceited type of love, but a love with the understanding of who and whose you are. Set the intention to go deep within and connect with your divine self. This is the Holy Spirit that is the one and only power source that is your life. You are one in God; therefore you are always in love, divine love. Love is your DNA. Love is what you are. Set the intention to know yourself as Love, having a human incarnation. The Course in Miracles says that if you are not in a mindset of love, you are blocking God’s miracle for your life. Whenever we forget that we are love and to love ourselves, we hinder the flow of God, and we cannot love others. Remember, it is your natural state of being, to Love.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, meditate on remembering self-love. At the top of each hour, remind yourself that you are Love; therefore you can love in all situations. Set the intention to be mindful of who and what you are.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am powered with love and I bless the planet with Love. Amen.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 2 “Creating Open Spaces”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Setting Intentions – Day 2 “Creating Open Spaces”

Today’s Body Connection: If you are bored with your fitness routine, it is time to start again. The energy of boredom comes from the inability to touch your inner creativity. Revamping your training regime is a great way to restart your fitness program. Be willing to go within and ask yourself what is missing. Take the time for self-exploration. When we become willing to shift the way we train our body-temples, infinite possibilities become our truth. There are many pathways to wholeness; be willing to shift direction.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Setting intentions means opening our consciousness and creating space to grow. We must be willing to release our old ideas so that we may have new experiences on our spiritual walk. Our intentions set into motion the clearing away of old paradigms that no longer serve us. It is the open space that gives us breathing room so that new and powerful transformative work can take place. When we set the intention to be more, there must be a willingness to ask the question, “What must I release? What must I become?” The intention to transform is the intention to become more.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set aside everything you think you know about your journey so that you are open and free to have a new and fresh experience in God. Use the “set aside prayer”; “May I set aside everything I think I know about ____ (fill in the blank) so that I may have a new experience.” Be willing to release everything that no longer serves you. Create a space for transformation.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am a new experience in the mind of God. My life is a fresh idea that blesses the planet. Amen.

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 29 “The Practice to Know More”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 29 “The Practice to Know More”

Today’s Body Connection: The only way to improve your balance is to work on it. Today, challenge your balance. Stand up, close your eyes, and feel the balance from within. Stand on one leg and focus on steadying the body-temple. Simple ways to improve your balance are the best.

Today’s Meditative Thought: The Practice is to know more of the Light. It always brings us to a deeper realization of our oneness with God. Every moment we spend cultivating and contemplating our life in the Universal flow continues to increase our awareness that God is the only power there is. The I AM consciousness can only expand as its self. Our connection with God allows us to share more love, more joy, more peace, and more prosperity. The Christ Consciousness within us is willing to grow; we must be willing to know it.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set the intention to know more of the light. In every situation bring more love, more joy, more light, and more God.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, the I AM is what I am. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 28 “The Light That Brings Innovation”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 28 “The Light That Brings Innovation”

Today’s Body Connection: Working opposite muscle groups is a must. If you work the front, you must train the back. The body-temple craves balance. In yoga, the intention is to work in a way that you feel the balance that is within you. There is an invocation and an invitation that allows you to know the inner self is balance and anchored. The light will show ways of training the body so that you may find the balance you seek. Go within your soul to design your blueprint for physical, mental and spiritual success.

Today’s Meditative Thought: The Light is an expansive presence that is expressing itself in new and inventive ways. Yes, the spirit of God is the same today, yesterday, and tomorrow, but the real truth is that God is only in the now moment, wanting to show up as each and every one of us uniquely. Our calling is to express this Light in new and innovative ways. We have the spirit of creativity within our souls longing to be free and unleashed. It is time to go within and ask, “How can I show up as God today? What innovative ways can I express God in this moment?” The power of the Light is within you; it’s time to allow it to shine.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, allow God to expand as you. Be open to new and innovative ways that the Spirit of God can show up as you. Before you move, take a breath, go within, and ask what is the right Divine action in this moment. Be still and listen; you will receive the answer.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am one with the innovative Spirit of God. The Light shows up in new and dynamic ways to bless my life and the lives of others. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 25 “Light Expresses Only Itself”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 25 “Light Expresses Only Itself”

Today’s Body Connection: Endurance and Strength go hand in hand. You cannot increase your endurance without increasing your strength. And when you exercise for longer periods of time, you will increase your strength and your endurance. When we move from the awareness that both are connected, it does not matter what you are doing, you will not get the results you desire. Take the time to go for a long walk or a power run. Work out with weights, or go for a swim. It’s all good. It’s all divine. It’s all perfect.

Today’s Meditative Thought: As we celebrate the birth of the Christ Consciousness we become aware of how God shows up within our lives. The Light only expresses itself as Love, the highest consciousness there is. When we feel the presence of God within our hearts that is the Light making itself known to us. We can become aware of the Divine through a person, place, thing, or a moment of silence. God is everywhere; we can hear it in a song, we can feel it when we talk to a friend, or while reading a book. All of these moments bring us back to the realization of divine love. When we see God expressing itself, it is important that we declare it as what it is…Love. The recognition of Grace, or God in action, helps us to remember the one power that is always active. The Christ Consciousness is the awareness that we are one with Mother… Father…God, and there is nothing that the power of God cannot do as us. “I do nothing, but it is the Spirit within me that does all things.”

Today’s Action Plan: Today, when you feel the presence of God, touch your heart, close your eyes, and take a deep breath. Recognize the experience of God you are having. The more aware of God we become, the more experience of God we will have.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, the Light expresses itself as me. Amen
