DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Celebrating New Beginnings – Day 27 “A New Freedom”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Celebrating New Beginnings – Day 27 “A New Freedom”

Meditative Thought: “I release, and I let go, I let the spirit run my life,” is a lyric from one of my favorite Rickie Byars and Rev Michael Beckwith songs, I Release and I Let Go. The lyrics reminds me that I need to free myself on a daily basis, sometimes even moment-to-moment, breath-to-breath. It also reminds me that we are here for God, to be God as us. When we surrender and allow the Universe to unfold in our lives, as our lives, miracles happen. Releasing our attachment to anything but God is breaking the chains of slavery. Ask yourself, “Am I free from things that keep me in bondage, things that do not serve me any longer?” Do sex, food, drugs, alcohol, relationships, and other external vices control you? Are you free from self-sabotage, self-loathing, self-hatred? The truth is, the Spirit can never be enslaved, hurt, damaged, or changed. The essence of God, which lives within us, is the power that frees us. Today, go within and celebrate the freedom of your Spirit. Know that you are always free in your consciousness. Freedom is a state of mind. Active your new freedom from people, places, and things and know that the only union that is required is your union with your higher self.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, actively release and turn everything over to God. When you find yourself wanting to control a situation, consciously give it to your higher self.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I release everything that blocks me from loving myself. I am worthy of true love, because love is what I am. I am a strong pillar of Joy, rooted in a foundation of Grace. And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Celebrating New Beginnings – Day 26 “Today Is the Only Day”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Celebrating New Beginnings – Day 26 “Today Is the Only Day”

Meditative Thought: Why do we worry about the future? Why do we worry about having enough tomorrow? If we can remember that the Universe is our source in this moment, we begin to activate true power. God only works in the now; the universe is the present. We only have this breath that we are breathing right now. We cannot operate in the future or the past. We do not have moments outside of the now. The power is in the present. That’s why they call life a “gift.” Experience life right now. Do not wait; tomorrow never comes and yesterday is always gone.

Your Spiritual Assignment: What would it feel like not to worry about tomorrow? Today, focus on the now and recognize that God has your back no matter what. When you begin to worry, release and let go, realize it is the future you are living in. Stay in the today. Allow God to do its work.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I release my past and I live in the “Power of Now.” I activate the God energy within my soul, expanding to a new awareness of myself. I commune and empower myself with the infinite power of the Universe. I break free from my shackles, and I fly to new heights. And so it is.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Celebrating New Beginnings – Day 25 “Embrace the Challenges”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Celebrating New Beginnings – Day 25 “Embrace the Challenges”

Meditative Thought: When life seems to give us hiccups and U-turns, we blame our circumstances, placing us into a victim mode. We even blame ourselves for allowing the situation to take place. We can be our greatest critics during our most crucial periods. During these challenging times, learn to love yourself deeply. These moments of what appears to be a test from the universe, is only a time of faith building. These are the times God invites us to turn inward and allow God to do its thing. These are the times we must be extra kind to ourselves. We must love ourselves through the hard times. During your dark night. I invite you to fall in love with yourself again. Date yourself again. Treat yourself like a new love interest filled with passion and desire. Love is the only thing that shifts your vibration.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, fall in love with yourself. Embrace your hiccups; they are designed to help you on your journey. Try not to judge yourself; you are divine no matter what you are going through.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I allow my many gifts and talents to flow through me. I bless this Universe with God energy and Love. I am a spiritual “Superhero,” with Angelic Powers, that shifts the consciousness of the planet. In all things I am grateful! And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Celebrating New Beginnings – Day 24 “Healing to Revelation”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Celebrating New Beginnings – Day 24 “Healing to Revelation”

Meditative Thought: Sometimes through sickness, heartache, and pain, true transformation happens. In my experience, some of my greatest revelations have appeared to me when I was experiencing some type of ‘dis-ease.’ The times I laid in bed, body feeling weak, with a slight fever, I could have asked, “God why me?” But I have learned to ask, “What is it you want me to learn from this experience?” From that point, other questions can be asked, “What’s to be revealed during this time?” What am I willing to release during this experience? As Earnest Holmes has written, “There is nothing to heal, only to reveal.” Our approach to our challenges is key; if we are willing and open to new Ah-Hah moments to take place, they will. My mother always says, “What doesn’t kill us make us stronger.” That is only true if we invite revelations through our healing. And then we can truly know the meaning of “nothing to heal only to insight to be revealed.”

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, ask God the simple question, “What am I to learn from this situation?”

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am one with the Cosmos; therefore my life is full of Abundance and Joy. I am one with the Universe; therefore my life is Whole and Complete. I am one with God; therefore my life is full of Divine Love and Compassion. And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Celebrating New Beginnings – Day 23 “Something New to Learn”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Celebrating New Beginnings – Day 23 “Something New to Learn”

Meditative Thought: One of the definitions of humility is to be teachable. When we remain humble, the Universe will teach us everything we need to know. In every situation we can expand our consciousness and awaken divine knowledge that is within us. As a spiritual counselor, it is fulfilling to help someone activate personal growth. But the truth is we all have our own guides within ourselves. Your greatest teacher is you. When we do the spiritual work of meditation, prayer, study, fellowship, and service, we strengthen our relationship with God, which opens our teachable space. The knowledge of the Universe is within; it just needs to be cultivated. Any decision or question that needs an answer has a direct connection to your personal guide. It’s like having your own “Bat Phone.” Have faith in your own revelations. Trust that the Universe within you speaks words of guidance and love. Stay open and set the intention to learn something new everyday.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, stay open to the possibility that there is so much more to learn. In you morning meditation, create a space of learning for the day. Declare that you are open and ready for insights.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, Spirit guides me, and I walk with the Love of God. I live in a Universe that only works for my good. There are only open doors, and I am saying “YES” to my success. And so it is. And so it shall be. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Celebrating New Beginnings – Day 22 “Pushing Restart”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Celebrating New Beginnings – Day 22 “Pushing Restart”

Meditative Thought: Sometimes we just need to push restart. Some days are so challenging and it feels like a downward spiral. These are the times we get to do what I call a “spiritual do-over.” We can always push the restart button and begin again. When we are faced with difficulty, we can go to the secret place within our hearts and simply breathe. By stopping and taking a moment to be still, we will find the peace that seems to elude us. Our restart always begins by turning to God. By pushing the restart button we will know inner peace and serenity and our day will be brand new.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, take the time to push restart. Even if things are going well, turn inward and connect with Source. Make it a daily practice. It could be once, twice, or even three times a day.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, God is everywhere present, active in all things, and is all-knowing. I stand in gratitude and I am blessed. And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Celebrating New Beginnings – Day 21 “Celebrating a New Communication”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Celebrating New Beginnings – Day 21 “Celebrating a New Communication”

Meditative Thought: If we believe that God is everywhere active, then God is present and active within ourselves. So many times we forget that simple sacred principle. The Omni presence of the Universe means that there is nowhere that God is not. When we become aware of this truth, we begin to see with our third eye, our spiritual eye, and we move with a new focus. Remembering that God is always active changes our language. We will change how we talk to others and to ourselves. A question that keeps us aligned and awake is, “Would I talk about God that way?” When we are in conversation with someone or even talking to ourselves, check in with the language and how we choose to communicate. Remember that God is always listening.
Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, be aware of how you speak to yourself and others. Use only language that is filled with love and light, then journal about your experience. Take note of what comes up for you. Do not judge the process; just be in it.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am a child of God and am willing to unleash my God energy everywhere I go. I activate God qualities with my spirit, and I allow them to flow freely. The vibration of the Infinite feels my heart. I am God’s beloved, and God is pleased. And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Celebrating New Beginnings – Day 20 “Your Vision Will Pull You”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Celebrating New Beginnings – Day 20 “Your Vision Will Pull You”

Meditative Thought: We must be willing to catch the vision for our life. When you conceive what we know as your divine calling, this vision will pull you to a higher level of existence. It will be the thing that takes hold of you and doesn’t let go. A vision inspires you to reach higher and to be more. When searching for this higher meaning to our life, we must be willing to go within. We must spend time with the source from which this vision is created. Allow your vision to elevate your existence.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, journal about your vision. If you don’t know what it is, go into meditation and allow God to reveal what your vision is. Spend time within contemplation and allow the vision to take hold of your soul until it is pulling you to a new level of existence.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am one with the essence of the Universe. I revel in the Spirit of Creation. My life is God unfolding, day-by-day, minute-by-minute, and moment-by-moment. I am blessed beyond my wildest dreams. And so I let it be. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Celebrating New Beginnings – Day 19 “The Rainbow”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Celebrating New Beginnings – Day 19 “The Rainbow”

Meditative Thought: Have you ever seen a rainbow? I mean “really” seen a rainbow? A rainbow is a spectrum of light. Within the spectrum, there is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet that shine through droplets of mist or rain. The last time I experienced a rainbow, it reminded me that God shines through all of us. We are the droplets of water, and when we shine God’s light, a magnificent rainbow appears. Our life is meant to be experienced with ease and grace, filled with God’s power. Things become easier when we let go and allow the Universe to work its magic. Allow God, to be God, in your life.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, find a picture of a rainbow, or, if you are blessed enough to encounter a real one, examine it and contemplate what it means to you. Journal your process.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am Love and worthy to be loved by me. I embrace the Divine Love of God and I set free the Love energy that is within me. I generate the healing power of Love as my worries and cares dissolve away. I am truly blessed. And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Celebrating New Beginnings – Day 18 “Setting New Intentions for Your Life”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Celebrating New Beginnings – Day 18 “Setting New Intentions for Your Life”

Meditative Thought: The word intention means to grow; it means to be more. Every day we need to set new intentions for the unfoldment of God upon our lives. It is these intentions that will fuel our transformation. Every day is a new day filled with infinity opportunities for greatness. We must be willing to step out of our boxes to do more, be more, and express more. Every breath is a sacred moment; set the intention to connect with God and become the vision that is your life. Take time to be still and hear direction from the Universe. Remember to keep the faith. All things are possible, if you only believe in your desire to be more. Believing is the knowing that your life is unfolding perfectly, and that you are here for a reason.

Your Spiritual Assignment: Today, make a list of all your intentions for the rest of the year. Name them and then claim them as being done.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, my life is the overflowing goodness of God. I am the representation of Love, Joy, Peace, and Prosperity. The blessings of the Universe are expressed and activated within my awareness, expanding and emerging from glory to greater glory. And so I let it be. Amen
