DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 9 – “Downloads From God”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 9 – “Downloads From God”

Today’s Body Connection: Have you asked God for an insight on how to train your body-temple? We have the capability to download all the information we need to create a successful physical practice. Remember, you are connected to an all-powerful energy that knows all things, and it knows what you need. We have so many choices for the physical practice; we just need to be mindful. We ask the Universe for direction and guidance on most things, so why not download your physical activity? Remember, every day is different, so you can have a new physical practice every day. Maybe Monday is a walking day and Tuesday is a dance class day. Maybe Wednesday you get the download to go swimming and Thursday could be weight-training day. We live in a universe filled with infinite possibilities and that include your workouts.

Today’s Meditative Thought: There is a reason why you downloaded the vision. Now, what are you going to do with it? Will you let the vision sit in the back of your head and fade away, or will you step out with faith and see it come to life? “Anything you can envision, you can make happen with intention and a strong game plan.” Time to put into action your divine download. Believe that it can be done with the power of the Universe that lives within you.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that every idea downloaded from the mind of God has meaning. Write them down so you don’t forget. Start your journal of Divine Ideas. On the page, write out your action plan. There is something you can do every day to bring your vision to light. Begin with something simple, like prayer, meditation, or making a phone call to someone who is already doing the work.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember that I am the divine idea of God. 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 5 – “With God’s Eyes ”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 5 – “With God’s Eyes ”

The Body Connection: Remember, as you begin your workout program, what do you see when you look in the mirror? Do you see someone who is broken, unhappy, and in need of a shift? That is only the external representation of what you are feeling. When we work from a place of brokenness, it is more challenging to find a place of self-love. The truth is, we work out to know more love within our being. During your workouts, see yourself the way God sees you. The Universe only knows your divine spirit and perfection. Our only connection to God is the absolute presence and essence of Love. If we wait until we reach our goal to experience that connection, the journey will be long and filled with ups and downs. We can begin our physical transformation with the sight of the divine and see ourselves with eyes of love, kindness, and compassion.

Meditative Thought: The Universe does not see our human flaws and mishaps; God only knows itself as love, joy, peace, order, balance, prosperity, and abundance. When you begin to see yourself as anything other than Love, you are blaspheming God and God’s creation.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember to see yourself with God’s eyes. There is nothing that God sees but the Love; today, move from that place. In everything you do, move with the Love of God shining as you. You are blessed, so be mindful of the truth.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember that I am the divine expression of God and all of its qualities. And so I am. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 4 – “Be Still and Know”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 4 – “Be Still and Know”

The Body Connection: Remember, yoga is our invitation to slow down and be present. The asana position, also known as the stillness, requires us to stop and connect with the body and/or something greater. During yoga practice, it is the stillness that invites us to know our divine self. The physical practice of yoga is a metaphorical battle with the big self and the ego. Our soul’s desire is to know serenity and peace, to release the chaotic activity of the mental mind. The Bhagavad Gita, sacred scriptures for the yoga practice, say, “When thy mind, that may be wavering in the contradictions of many scriptures, shall rest unshaken in divine contemplation, then the goal of Yoga is thine.” In other words, if we can allow our thoughts to fall into God, we will know our connection to our higher self.

Meditative Thought: God wants to have a private encounter with your soul on a daily basis. It is the practice of meditation that helps you to embrace your greatness. When we choose the path of stillness we will know the power that sustains us.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember to be still and know that God is God. It is the stillness that brings a deeper awareness of our unity with the Holy Spirit. Take the time to sit in the secret garden of your consciousness.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember to be still and know that God is everything. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 3 – “God Within ”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 3 – “God Within ”

The Body Connection: Remember, exercise is a way of expressing God within. Every time we consciously train your body you are doing spiritual work to express more love, light and joy that lives within you. The Essence of life lives within you; therefore every weight you lift is the expression of the Universal presence of God. Your physical practice is about creating a body-temple that is without the pain and weakness that may hinder your spiritual work. After a hard, vigorous training session, our bodies release hormones called endorphins, imbuing us with a euphoric feeling that is chemically induced. I call it the God Vibration. The next time you finish your physical practice, take a moment and acknowledge the God Vibration. Be still, and once you feel it, recognize it as a space of gratitude. When we exercise, it becomes a tool for reaching our inner being.

Meditative Thought: The only limitations you have are the ones you place upon yourself. God is bigger than any situation, any problem. See beyond your human limitations and catch the divine vision of God that is within you.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that the Universal presence that lives within you is boundless, without limits. As you work out, create a mantra that reminds you that you have the power to do all things.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember that God lives within my soul and that I can do anything. 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: “Remember” Day 1 – “You Are the Light of God ”

The Body Connection: Remember, when you exercise the body-temple, you radiate a glowing light. Your aura shines a brightness that everyone can see. Have you ever run into someone after a great workout and their response been something like, “You look amazing!” or “You’re glowing!”? That is your light of God shining through and as you, activated be your physical practice. When you get your blood moving and elevate your heart rate, there is a natural radiance of heath and fitness that cannot be denied. Today, get your eternal glow by participating in your physical practice.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that you are the light of God and that you are meant to let that light shine. Take a breath, be still, and contemplate what it means to shine your light as God. Morning, noon, and night take five to ten minutes to meditate and cultivate the light that is you.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember that I am the light of God and I shine brightly everywhere I go. And so I am.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 31 “What Are You Holding On To?”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 31 “What Are You Holding On To?”

The Body Connection: When we find ourselves putting in the workout hours, struggling to stay motivated, and our fitness level has not improved, we might be going through a plateau. Fitness plateaus happen when our bodies stop responding to the physical work; it has simply adapted to our training regime. But when we go through a mental our spiritual plateau, we can feel lost and want to give up. This period of our lives is an invitation for us to change-up our routine and mindset. Our old way of thinking keeps us from achieving our goals. It time to let go and let the Universe take over. Transformation will come when you are will to do and see things differently.

Meditative Thought: What are you holding on to that is blocking the flow of God? What form of mediocrity are you married to? Where are you playing small? The power of God requires us to be more and to live our highest potential. Surrender to the knowing that you are meant to be great. You were created to live a big life. Let go and see the divine presence of the Holy Spirit. It is our thoughts that hold us back from igniting the fires of transformation. When we release the thought that holds us back, we will catapult our lives into the realm of success.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, be more than you thought you could be. Surrender to greatness. When you recognize that you are going through a plateau, turn to your practice. Take the time to journal, meditate, cultivate, and contemplate the door that needs to be kicked down. Ask the Universe what needs to happen here to move past this block. Expect an answer, and when you get it, move into action.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I surrender to greatness. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 29 “The Power of Two”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 29 “The Power of Two”

The Body Connection: Have you ever heard the saying, “There is strength in numbers.”? One of the greatest tools for getting fit is a workout partner. Find someone that will help you on your journey. I am not talking about a trainer, although we do serve a purpose and we are a body of knowledge. I am talking about a friend that is on the same path as you. Someone you can build a relationship with to share and compare your experience with. Your workout buddy keeps you accountable and helps you to stay focused and not give up. The power is in the companionship. There is an energetic connection when two or more are gathered and it is fun to sweat side by side.

Meditative Thought: Have you ever wondered why missionaries travel in pairs? Or why the God has said, “Where two or more are gathered, I am there in the midst?” When we work together with one another for a common goal, powerful miracles take place. Two are better than one in all things. If one person falls, that person who has your back will pick you up.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set the intention to find a workout partner, someone you can trust and depend on. When choosing a partner, be willing to be the buddy you are looking for. Set the intention that the Universe will bring you the right person to share your journey with.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, awake and be free to be me. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 28 “Surrender to Challenges”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 28 “Surrender to Challenges”

The Body Connection: Working out is a challenge that is required to achieve the goal of fitness. But it can be enjoyed if we surrender to it. As long as we fight the process we will always see the challenge as nothing else but work. One way to surrender is to change the “have to” to “get to.” We get to play to create a healthy vehicle to do God’s work. We get to honor our sacred commitment to be the best we can be. The truth is that every pushup, squat, lunge, mile run or walked is the physical practice of getting better, faster, stronger and more powerful. During the workout you might feel weak, but have faith: a strengthening of the mind, body, and spirit is taking place. It the process of breaking down that will lead to your breakthrough.

Meditative Thought: Mentally and spiritually, we need to hit bottom, stop digging, and surrender to the fight before our transformation can happen. It is the raw feeling of defeat that brings us to a place of surrender. Sometimes it takes a spiritual beat down, a divine tenderizing of the soul, to prepare us for transformation. It is when we are most vulnerable that can we hear the voice of God. Until we have nothing else to fight with, a true transformation cannot happen. We must truly see the need for a shift to happen to allow it to happen. What appears to be our greatest challenge becomes our greatest invitation to change. Surrender to the challenges in your life; your breakdown will lead to a breakthrough.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, bless the mess. Choose to see God in the midst of all your challenges. Journal and list everything that you think is a messy situation in your life, and then ask the Universe, “Where is there a need for change here?” Journal your answer and be willing to take action.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I bless the mess. My challenges are divine and blessed with my intentions to be great. My eyes are open and I see God. Amen
