DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 23 “Stay Awake”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS:  30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 23 “Stay Awake”

Today’s Body Connection:  As our practice grows and expands, the challenge is to stay awake.  We begin to see the payoff of living a healthy life.  We drop the pounds and inches and we love what we are seeing.  We begin to connect with the outer results and forget that we are feeling better than ever before.  After having a moderate amount of success, we tend to forget that it’s not about fitting into the next dress size down, or being able to squeeze ourselves into our skinny jeans.  It’s about connecting with our inner strength and tapping into Spirit through prayer.  The physical practice has only one purpose and that is to let us know our own divinity.”

Meditative Thought: One of the greatest advantages of prayer is the ability to stay awake to the presence of God that lives within us.  The practice of prayer is not to gain any material possession; it is to know more God.  Remember that the Universe only knows itself, which is love, joy, abundance, peace, prosperity, compassion, oneness; our prayers are to know more of these divine qualities that create our authentic self, our true being.  Anything that is not of God is a low vibration of prayer.  Not to say that these human delights are not a part of our everyday life, but just stay awake.  These superficial things are not real, and have no true power.  The only authentic experience is the presence of God.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, pray with the intention to stay awake and to experience more God.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, I pray with the highest intention of love.  My life is the life of God; therefore I am blessed.  And so it is.  Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 21 “Forgiveness to Heal”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS:  30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 21 “Forgiveness to Heal”

Today’s Body Connection:  One of the most common injuries I deal with is neck and back pain.  When a client comes to me for relief, one of the first things I ask is, “Are you holding on to unforgiveness?”  Because everything is energy, including our thoughts and our bodies, the energy of unforgiveness can show up as a physical manifestation of pain.  When you say yes to a healthy way of life, you say yes to shifting your energetic vibration.  The mind and the spirit always meet in the body-temple to invite us to transform.  We must be willing to forgive our past experience that we might view as failures.  The forgiveness is the knowing that there are no mistakes, only lessons.  We might need to forgive ourselves for accepting someone else’s opinion of our outer appearance.  Whatever the invitation is, it is a call to heal thyself.

Meditative Thought: “According to scripture, before we pray, before we can build an intimate relationship with God, we must learn how to forgive.” — Dr. Mary A. Tompkins, Before You Pray, Forgive

Dr. Mary encourages us to shift our energy, from resentment to love, before we move into prayer.  Forgiveness is a vibration just like Love.  It reminds me not about whom we pray to, but about where we pray from.  If we pray from a place of resentment, resentment is activated.  If we pray from a place of love, Love is the energy that carries your prayers into Universal Law.

Today’s Action Plan:  Today, focus on forgiveness.  Examine your relationships.  Is there anyone who needs forgiveness?  If so, be willing to heal.  Willingness is the first step to forgiveness.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, forgiveness is the order of my life.  I bless the world with Love.  I pray with a heart of kindness and compassion.  And so it is.  Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 19 “Knowledge Is Power”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 19 “Knowledge Is Power”

Today’s Body Connection: Have you ever heard the saying, “Knowledge is power”? This affirmation is the foundation of transformation. When we dedicate ourselves to the practice, we become an open vessel for knowledge. When we begin to study everything fitness-related, we dive into learning more and more about ways to activate our inner strength. We are inspired to make a space for self-exploration so that we may know what works or what form of physical practice inspires us. We empower ourselves with the knowledge of what is healthy eating and what is junk food. It is knowledge that empowers the manifestation of the life that we are meant to live.

Meditative Thought: “Inherent in every desire is the seed of its fulfillment.” — Deepak Chopra. Deepak speaks of faith. Know from the beginning that your prayers are being fulfilled. It is done. It is complete. The Universe never says no; yes is always the answer. Say yes to your highest good. Manifestation doesn’t always look the way we want it to, but it always shows up. Blessings might not show up when we want them to, but they always show up. Have faith that the Universe is working for your highest good. Release your expectations of how God should bless you.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, Pray without expectations, except one: know that God is blessing you right now with a BIG FAT YES!

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I say yes to the Universe and the Universe says yes to me. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 10 “Divine Recognition”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 10 “Divine Recognition”

Today’s Body Connection:  We must find the divine within our workouts.  Yoga is the perfect example of the journey to know our higher self.  When we set the intention to see the miracles that is what we will experience.   During your workout, create a space for the Universe to show up.  Our physical practice is for the sole purpose of connecting with God.  Today, take a walk in nature with your heart wide open.  Run with the pure intention to see a blessing unfold as your life.  Lift your weights to know your inner strength.  Use your yoga class to realign your mind with your spirit.  It’s all connected; let’s operate from that awareness.

Meditative Thought: Affirmative Prayer Step 2 – Recognition:  The next step of the prayer treatment is Recognition.  Because God is everywhere present, this energy is governing the prayer.  God is the force that is everywhere, always active, all-powerful, and all-knowing.  The simple statement that “God is,” is recognition.  When we awaken to the fact that God is all-inclusive, we begin to see God everywhere.  God is all there is.

Today’s Action Plan:  Today, actively recognize the activity of God.  This is a practice that requires work.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, I recognize God to be all there is.  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 TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 21 – “Your Yes”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 21 – “Your Yes”

Today’s Body Connection:  Yes is more than your consent; it is an agreement to activate greatness within your life.  Look at your physical practice as an opportunity to release mediocrity and an invitation for you to live your greatest life.  Every moment during your workout is a moment that God wants to show up as you.  The only destiny is that the Universe is seeking is to express itself as you.  Will you let it happen?  Will you say yes?

Today’s Meditative Thought: Your yes is the gateway to transformation.  The vibration of yes allows a shift to happen.  Use yes to carry you through.  Say yes to the transformation to your new self.

Today’s Action Plan:  Yes, Yes, Yes…Today, use yes to empower your change, mind, body, and spirit.  Write a journal entry of what it means to say yes to your expansion, and what it looks like.

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

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 11 – “Be Clear”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 11 – “Be Clear”

Today’s Body Connection:  When we choose to transform the body-temple, we must be clear about our intentions.  What is it that you want?  I invite you to be clear about the intention.  Sometimes we say, “I just want to get into my skinny jeans,” but it is more than that.  Go deeper.  Go beyond the surface.  Dropping a dress size would be great, but what does that really mean? If you loose the weight, you will feel better, you will be able to do the things you have come to this planet to do.  If you embrace a healthy way of life, you will be more productive and active.  Reducing your blood pressure means you can spend more time enjoying life and less time taking medication to sustain life.   Connect with the “underneath vibration” of the intention for transforming your body-temple.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Be clear about what it is you want.  Transformation requires clarity.  When you are in the midst of a shift, your intention will see you through.  There are challenges and there are bumpy roads, but if you are focused, you can make it through anything.  Change requires ‘work-play’, but it is worth it

Today’s Action Plan:  Today, set your intention for the transformation you desire, and have faith it will be done.  Then actively let it go and let the universe take over.  Take a breath and say, “I release and I let go.” Journal about the release process and any insights you might have.

Today’s Affirmation:  Just for this moment… just for this breath, I set the intention to transform into what I am meant to be.  And so it is.  Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 5 – “Starting With Me”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 5 – “Starting With Me”

Today’s Body Connection:  Every body-temple transformation begins and ends with you.  Transformation is something that can only be achieved by recognizing that you are the one who has to do it. We can hire a personal trainer or a life coach to help us get on track and keep us accountable, but, ultimately, we must be willing to do the work.  Today, decide what you are willing to commit to.  Take baby steps; do something you can handle.  Take a walk, or a beginner yoga class.  We must crawl before we can walk, but we must be willing to go down the path.  Only you can give yourself permission to be okay.

Today’s Meditative Thought: If we are looking to transform our surroundings, we must begin to transform ourselves.  The only thing that we need to change is our perception of the situation.  Release attachment to an outcome of changing anything but how we see the situation.

Today’s Action Plan:  Today, ask for divine insight to see things as they truly are; then and only then will you find the answer. Today is a great day to take a walking meditation.  Get outside and be inspired to life your life full out.

Today’s Affirmation:  Just for this moment… just for this breath, I surrender all my negative thoughts and give way to the God spirit within.
