DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 25 “Light Expresses Only Itself”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 25 “Light Expresses Only Itself”

Today’s Body Connection: Endurance and Strength go hand in hand. You cannot increase your endurance without increasing your strength. And when you exercise for longer periods of time, you will increase your strength and your endurance. When we move from the awareness that both are connected, it does not matter what you are doing, you will not get the results you desire. Take the time to go for a long walk or a power run. Work out with weights, or go for a swim. It’s all good. It’s all divine. It’s all perfect.

Today’s Meditative Thought: As we celebrate the birth of the Christ Consciousness we become aware of how God shows up within our lives. The Light only expresses itself as Love, the highest consciousness there is. When we feel the presence of God within our hearts that is the Light making itself known to us. We can become aware of the Divine through a person, place, thing, or a moment of silence. God is everywhere; we can hear it in a song, we can feel it when we talk to a friend, or while reading a book. All of these moments bring us back to the realization of divine love. When we see God expressing itself, it is important that we declare it as what it is…Love. The recognition of Grace, or God in action, helps us to remember the one power that is always active. The Christ Consciousness is the awareness that we are one with Mother… Father…God, and there is nothing that the power of God cannot do as us. “I do nothing, but it is the Spirit within me that does all things.”

Today’s Action Plan: Today, when you feel the presence of God, touch your heart, close your eyes, and take a deep breath. Recognize the experience of God you are having. The more aware of God we become, the more experience of God we will have.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, the Light expresses itself as me. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 29 – “Our Peaceful State”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 29 – “Our Peaceful State”

Today’s Body Connection: Remember, when the body feels good, we are free to experience a peaceful state of mind. The mind, body, and spirit are connected as one; therefore one affects the other. Whenever we feel the challenges of our body, our minds can work to compensate for or to overcome adversity. When we feel uneasy, it’s time to meditate. Let the stillness overtake the pain, allowing peace to be your state of being.

Today’s Meditative Thought: We are meant to coexist with each other and share love. Our peaceful state is a harmonious vibration that lives within us all. Remember, when you are in conflict with your loved ones, neighbors, or friends, you are really in conflict with yourself. It is time to remind yourself that the solution is always Love; self-love. Until we find our personal peaceful state of being, how can we find peace with anyone else?

Today’s Action Plan: Today, cultivate peace within yourself. Take the time to meditate on the word “peace” and what qualities come to mind.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember that the answer is always “Love.” Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 14 – “Let Your Shift Shine ”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 14 – “Let Your Shift Shine ”

Today’s Body Connection: Remember, everything you do is to enhance your life. Your transformation is for the purpose of “having life and life more abundantly.” When a shift happens on the outside, it is in direct relationship to the shift that is happening on the inside. There is a vibration and a light that you will shine. You will radiate Joy and, in turn, you will receive more Joy. It is the Law of Radiance; what you radiate you will receive back. Your workout will allow you to activate the best in your life. When you feel strong and healthy you inspire the people around you. Let your transformation shine; not only will people notice the physical change, they will see the light return to your eyes.

Today’s Meditative Thought: It’s up to you to bring your own Joy. Don’t wait for someone else to bring it; you could be waiting a long time. Joy is what you are, so activate it.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that the only thing that is missing in your relationship is what you aren’t bringing. Your relationship is a reflection of your inner awareness. What you see as missing, is your invitation. If you see a lack of love, be more loving. If joy is what you think is missing, be more joyful. Bring the peace where you see chaos. It is up to you.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember to bring everything that is needed in all my relationships. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 1 – “You Are the Light of God ”

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.

Meditative Thought: You are a gift to this planet and you have said yes to a mission that only you can do. The Universe supports your vision, so step out and boldly approach your destiny. Bring God’s light through your gifts and talents. Let your light shine.

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 21 “Fully Committed”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 21 “Fully Committed”

The Body Connection: When we think of the main components of fitness, we must remember stretching. A fully committed practice incorporates not just the part we like but every element: cardio, strength training, mindful eating, and stretching. After working the body we must remember that stretching not only helps the healing, but it also allows our limbs to have a greater range of motion. I call stretching the appetizer and the desert of fitness. A divine stretch should sandwich each workout. Upon waking, a large glass of water and a morning stretch are a great way to start your day. One of the greatest tools for stretching is Yoga, the physical preparation for meditation; but remember, you do not have to attend a yoga class to practice yoga. Any time is a good time for a downward dog. If you want a body-temple that moves with ease and grace, commit to increasing its flexibility. Jump in fully and surrender to every aspect that is required to be fit; stretching is the key that can open the door to a new way of life.

Meditative Thought: Reverend Cheryl Ward once said to me, “You cannot jump into the river and get a little wet.” We must understand that we can’t just play in the river of life a little. Once we have said yes, we must fully commit to the journey. When we have one foot in the door and one foot out, we create a life of confusion and frustration. God is calling us to a place of full surrender. Because our life is the life of Spirit, let go and let God be your life.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, jump into the river and begin to swim with the stroke of devotion. Fully commit to your practice, whether it be physical, mental, or spiritual. Fully surrender and jump in with no hesitation. Move with a full heart.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I jump into the ocean of devotion and I am wet with God’s love. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 12 “Surrender and Forgive”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 12 “Surrender and Forgive”

The Body Connection: It’s time to start again. So what, you fell off your diet and you haven’t worked out in days. It’s time to forgive yourself and move on. When we choose to transform the body, there will always be successes and challenging times. It does not matter if you fall, it maters that you get up and keep trying. The body is a temple, housing your essence. It needs your daily practice. Health and fitness is your birthright and it is time to claim it. Surrender your self-sabotage, forgive your shortcomings, and push the restart button.

Meditative Thought: Unforgiveness blocks of the flow of God within our lives. The only thing holding us back from the fullness of the Universal flow is our inability to forgive others and ourselves. Transformation begins with love. We have two choices: we can love ourselves through the transformation or continue to beat ourselves up. The choice is ours.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, examine the areas of your life that are in need of forgiveness. Make the decision to release and move on. As you explore your life, journal about what you find. It’s important to remove all your mental and spiritual blocks so your body’s transformation is filled with ease and grace.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I stand in the spirit of grace and I am forgiven. My body is the living expression of the Universe. 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 9 “Reaching God”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 9 “Reaching God”

Meditative Thought: Joel S. Goldsmith says, “You cannot reach God through your mind.” When I read this, I instantly understood its meaning: we can only experience God. When we think about who God is, we always come up short. In our human incarnation we can only conceive God as our past thoughts, teaching, and an idea of what we think God is. Our thoughts and imagination can never create an accurate description of God. God is an incorporeal being that can only be accessed through the invisible practice of prayer and meditation. The truth is a “God experience” is always new and fresh. There comes a moment in our journey when we stop thinking about who God is and begin to experience what God is.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, free your mind of the “Who” and experience the “What.” Whenever there is a quest, consciously return to the “what” question. The answer is always God. When life seems a little interesting, slow down and breathe the question, “What is seeking to emerge?”

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I know that God is love; therefore I am love. And so it is. 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
