DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 22 “A Deeper Surrender to the Practice”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 22 “A Deeper Surrender to the Practice”

Today’s Body Connection: Yoga is a practice that requires a deep surrender. Most of us are challenged by flexibility because of the inflexibility within our lives. When the mind and spirit are unwilling to move and relinquish control, there is a stiffening within our being. During the practice, it is time for our inner self to speak. True Yoga is the ability to be present in the pose and hear the message of transformation. The next time you become aware of a flexibility challenge, I invite you to be still and ask the question, “Where am I being called to let go and stretch?”

Meditative Thought: Prayer is the deepest form of communion with God. When we are truly in the depths of the practice, the universe takes over every part of the mind, body, and spirit. There is no thinking, contemplation, or asking God for anything. We let go of all things outside of ourselves and we surrender to the “I AM” that lives within us. We let go of all fears, doubts, and worries and we allow the presence of Spirit to take over.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, surrender to the God as you pray, allowing the prayer to pray you instead of praying the prayer.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I allow the power of God to pray through me. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 11 “Unification with Your Higher Self”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 11 “Unification with Your Higher Self”

Today’s Body Connection: Unification is all about your perception and awareness. We can move through our day without ever acknowledging our higher self. Have you ever finished a challenging workout and asked yourself, “Is that it?” Or have you completed a goal, dropped the weight or dress size, and felt nothing or even worse than when you started? We can move from workout to workout feeling unfulfilled, not knowing why. Our disappointment comes from the appearance of separation. Unless we give the physical practice a deeper meaning, our journey can never fulfill us. Today, unify your workout with the Divine. Every step you take and every squat you do is for the soul unfoldment. Run with a purpose. Stretch to know your inner love. Align our workout with an intention to expand your consciousness.

Meditative Thought: Affirmative Prayer Step 3 – Unification: The unification stage is about awakening to our oneness with The Universe. “God is, I am,” is a defining affirmation that helped me to expand my Unity consciousness. During this step, I speak words like, “One Life, one sprit, one mind, one God,” and I know my life is one with God. Reverend Kathleen McNamara from Agape says to stay in the unification step until you know that you are one with God. Don’t move from this stage until, without a doubt, you can say that you and God are one. When this unification awareness happens, you activate the power of the Universe. The more you realize your oneness with God, the more you are able to activate Divine power in your life.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, activate the unification vibration in your life. Speak the affirmation: “God is, I am” every hour on the hour until you know unification for sure. During your workout, set the intention to know oneness with Love. Journal your process at the end of your day.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, God is, I am and we are one. And so it is. 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 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 29 – Threefold Transformation”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 29 – Threefold Transformation”

Today’s Body Connection: As your journey unfolds, you will become aware of your personal trinity: the mind, body, and spirit can never be separated; they are aspects of self, making up the one. Each piece represents an intricate part of our lives that simultaneously affects other parts. The way we think affects the way the body moves. How the body feels can influence the way we think. Any spiritual practice can be swayed by how we think and feel. The Hindu practice of Yoga is to prepare the body for meditation. If the body is stretched and relaxed, it can sit for longer periods of time in the stillness, allowing for deeper realization and cultivation. Awareness is key; understanding that the three are connected allows your journey to be full and effective.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Transformation is threefold: Mind, Body, and Spirit. It’s all or nothing. All three are connected. You can’t truly transform your body, your relationship, and/or your life until you shift the way you think. And every transformation must come from God within your spirit that knows it must be set free. Every malady in your life has a spiritual solution, and once we tap into that knowledge our life will change, our bodies with shift, and our lives will be better. We will experience a lasting transformation. We will stop riding the train of change and we will be on the ship of transformation.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, put into practice the tools that will shift your spirit; change the way you think, and your life will expand. Commit to the physical, mental, and spiritual practice that is working for you. Push the restart button again, if need be. Get moving and/or keep moving no matter what.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, my transformation is to Mind, Body, and Spirit. 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 26 – “Determination and Tenacity”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 26 – “Determination and Tenacity”

Today’s Body Connection: One of the great challenges while transforming the body-temple is staying with and adhering to the required program. Your determination to complete the goal requires “staying power.” You will always come to a fitness crossroad; your choices are to keep going or to give up. Your tenacity and persistence is the key. You cannot win if you are not in. You must stay in the game. That old saying rings true: “Quitters never win and winners never quit.” To put a new spin on it, “You can’t win a game if you don’t play.” Trust me, it’s one of the hardest challenges of your life, but transforming your body-temple from unhealthy to healthy is the most fulfilling goal you will ever achieve.

Today’s Meditative Thought: True and deep transformation requires determination and tenacity to see God’s plan come to fruition. You are the divine vision in living form. The shift will happen if you don’t give up. Be determined to stay in the race. We all have great insights, but when we cease the work that is required, or we don’t see change right away, we shelve our dreams and move on.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, be determined; continue to allow your transformation to come forth. Stick with it no matter what. Find an accountability partner who will stand with you no matter what, even when you don’t want to continue. Once you have connected with your partner, make the commitment to stand with them.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am determined and filled with divine tenacity to see my transformation come to life. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 25 – “Dedicated to the Practice”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 25 – “Dedicated to the Practice”

Today’s Body Connection: As you train the body-temple, focus on staying dedicated for the present moment you are in. Commitment is required, but for the moment. On your runs, stay dedicated for one breath and one stride at a time. During your strength training, commit to one single repetition at a time during the set. During yoga, devote yourself to the one pose you are experiencing. So do not worry about any exercise outside of the present. Your power comes from the NOW, not the future or the past. Be mind of where you are and what you are doing.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Transformation requires dedication, but we must commit to only one breath at a time. Be dedicated to the practice just for today, one moment, and even one breath at a time. You can’t run before you crawl, and transformation is an endurance race, not a sprint. Dedication is being present and awake to the moment you are in. Then, before you know it, you have shifted your whole existence.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, be present to the moment you are in. Dedicate to the breath you are taking and have faith that you are in the midst of your transformation.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am a living dedication to my transformation. I surrender to God and allow the blessing to be my everyday way of life. 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

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 13 – “Becoming Your Authentic Self”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 13 – “Becoming Your Authentic Self”

Today’s Body Connection: Transforming the Body-Temple means becoming your authentic self. Our birthright is to be full of light, living a healthy life, expressing wholeness, and vibrant. We are created in the image of perfection; therefore we should live a life that reflects perfection. I’m not talking about the surface idea of perfection, the external appearance of how we look, act, or behave. I am speaking of the divine presence of God that lives within our souls. When we approach the physical practice for the sole purpose of expressing our spiritual perfection, we become our authentic self; we live the real life we are meant to live.

Today’s Meditative Thought: To become more of your authentic self requires a connection with God. Cultivate your oneness consciousness with meditation. It is in the stillness that we know we are one with Spirit.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, sit in the stillness until you know you are one with God and that everything will be okay. Today, ask God to show you your authentic self and begin to live it.

Affirmation: Just for this moment… just for this breath, I embrace God and I live my authentic life. Amen
