DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 7 – “Peace”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 7 – “Peace”

Today’s Body Connection: Today is the day we connect with the peace of transformation. When a training session is uncomfortable, we must look for the peace. When a yoga pose feels unachievable, stop fighting and make peace with it. When you are only halfway through your cardio workout and you want to give up, embrace the second half with an attitude of Love. When we make peace with our thoughts, our body will listen. When we accept the test, we will transcend any and all challenges.

Today’s Meditative Thought: “Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.” — Song Lyrics by Jill Jackson/Mark Miller, 1955

The answer to war is always Love, and it begins with loving yourself. Once you begin to truly love you, then you are free to love others and that will transform the planet. We cannot fight war or terrorism with more violence. This radical transformation requires a new way of operating. Today, pray for peace and begin to love yourself. This is the “vibrational” shift that is required.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, make peace with yourself. Identify within yourself what it is you are fighting, and make peace with it. This does not mean to give up and simply accept it; on the contrary, it means to let go of the attachment to a certain outcome, to release the control of how it needs to look. This includes the way you look in your jeans.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I live above the battlefield of conflict and I activate the power of peace within my life. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 8 – “Remembering Freedom ”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 8 – “Remembering Freedom ”

Today’s Body Connection: Remember, when we are physically active and participating in a healthy lifestyle we free ourselves from body limitations. When we experience a deconditioned body, it holds us back from living a full life. When we live a sedentary life, everything becomes a struggle, from walking up steps to playing with our children. It is time to move and be free. The first step is set your intentions; the next is get into action. Get up off the couch and take a walk around the block. You are the key that unlocks the door to your own freedom. Only you can change you life, isn’t it about time?

Today’s Meditative Thought: You have the choice to manifest the life you desire, but it begins with releasing the things that are not a part of the Divine vision. Remember, your old experiences are just that: old. Let them go.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that freedom is releasing the stuff that is not serving you any longer. This could mean people, places, jobs, ideas, thoughts, and relationships. Take the time to make a list of everything that is holding you back. And begin to let these things go.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember that I am the manifestation of God, made human; therefore I am blessed. I release everything that is not in alignment with this truth. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 2 – “God Expressing Its Self ”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 2 – “God Expressing Its Self ”

The Body Connection: Remember, the body-temple is the God in the flesh and deserves to be treated as such. When we choose to exercise, we choose to play in the field of God. When we begin to activate our internal strength in our physical practice, we allow the Universe to express itself fully. It’s not only the mind and the spirit that requires a practice to grow; the body is in need of work for its edification, too. The Universe wants to express it self in every way; allow each workout to be an expression of God inside of you.

Meditative Thought: Our connection to this high vibration fuels every essence of our lives. Know that the power that is within you is divine and full of grace. Love is the answer to all things; we can do anything with the love of the Universe.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that you are God’s love expressing itself uniquely as you. Every moment you can remind yourself that you are expressing the love of God.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember that I am bathed in God’s love and I am blessed. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 25 “Surrender to Joy”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 25 “Surrender to Joy”

The Body Connection: I invite you to find your divine happiness in every moment when training the body-temple. Connect with your inner joy as you walk, run, and lift weights. Sometimes you need to take your mind off the work that you are doing and connect with the source of all things. Put on your favorite song or inspirational tape to uplift your vibration. Find an exercise class and connect with a community. Fellowship and a feeling of belonging is always a great tool to activate your inner bliss. Dissociate the discomfort of working-out and go within to a place were peace lives. Find your Joy; it is always available for activation.

Meditative Thought: Do you know what activates Joy in your life? Do you know what allows you to connect with your inner happiness? Joy is a divine quality that comes from our connection with the Universal presence of God. It is who and what we are. In our fast-paced world we must slow down and remember Joy, remember God. When we are challenged with finding our Joy, it is a direct inability to connect with God. To find our Joy we must slow down, be still, and know the Joy within. Yes, there are external sources that help to activate Joy, but it is our stillness that helps us to be aware that Joy is present. Whatever brings you Joy, surrender and become one with it; do it everyday. Joy is a spiritual quality that can be experienced when we know what activates it. Allow Joy to be your anchor, your strength through the challenging times.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, surrender to Joy. Set the intention to find your Joy no matter what. Support your practice with anything that activates your divine happiness. Make a list of what activates Joy within and participate in it. Before meditation, play your favorite song. Before or after your workout, read a short passage from your favorite book that inspires you. Joy is the up-leveler of your vibration; connect with your inner Joy today.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, the Joy of the Lord is my strength. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 11 “Surrender to Grace”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 11 “Surrender to Grace”

The Body Connection: As we begin the journey to transform the body-temple, there is a requirement of surrender. There are days when you might not want to get up and get moving, but it is a must. Every day the body not only requires exercise, it craves it. There are no shortcuts around getting in shape; it is challenging and sometimes uncomfortable but the payoff is so worth it. Remember your promise to yourself to stay active and to live a healthier lifestyle. The Universe has your back and you are supported. So wake up and get moving; walk, run, dance, work out, and connect with your divine self. Once you surrender to the work, you will find the grace that is sufficient.

Meditative Thought: When we surrender to the will of God, this is the practice of allowing grace to flow as our life. Grace is the easy movement of the Universe, the unobstructed blessing in our life. Begin to align your thoughts with your commitment to a healthier way of life

Today’s Action Plan: Today, surrender to the flow of Grace. As you work out, use a mantra that reminds you of how strong you are. A simple affirmation will do the job: “I am strong and filled with Grace.” Keep a daily journal of your “Ah-ha” moment as you continue on your journey.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am strong, powerful, and one with Grace. I bless my journey as I live my greatest life. 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 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

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 1 “Ready to Surrender”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 1 “Ready to Surrender”

Meditative Thought: Are you ready to surrender? Are you ready to release control of your life? Are you ready to experience the riches and treasures of the universe? It begins with surrendering your life to God. When you turn your will and the care of your life over to a power greater than yourself, there is a freedom to relax, a freedom from the need to make “it” happen. God is in control of all things; we only need to step out-of-the-way and allow God to do the God thing.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, turn your life over to a power greater than yourself. Through prayer and meditation, cultivate your oneness with God. Take time in the stillness, clear your mind of external thoughts, and with every breath repeat the mantra, “I am one with God.”

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am one with a power greater than myself. And so I am. And so I allow it to be. Amen
