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: Surrendering – Day 30 “God’s Time”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 30 “God’s Time”

The Body Connection: Our biggest lessons on this path of the body connection are simple: 1. Fitness is a journey with no destination and no time limits. It is a practice required for the rest of our existence on this side of life. 2. We must release the goal of looking like something or someone to measure our health and fitness. What we see in the magazine or how another appears to us is our own perception. 3. Love yourself through every step of the journey. 4. Do not put a time limit on your fitness. When we use a time marker to drop a certain amount of pounds, we set ourselves up for failure. During your journey to or back to fitness, recognize that you are in God’s perfect time and that in that space all things are happening exactly how they need to work. Everything happens in God’s time, so stop looking for shortcuts.

Meditative Thought: Surrender to God’s time. Sometimes we want our blessings when we want them. But God’s time is infinite, so our blessings are happening right now. In our human mind we have created ideas for what our blessings should look like and when they should happen. Take God out of your personal box. No matter what our goals, desires, or intentions are, we must release our personal timeline. The Universe does not work on our terms. God is an all-powerful, all-knowing life force that has it in control. Once we recognize that God just is, without conditions or favorites, and is not handing out blessings faster to those who worship more, we will free up the divine flow to happen in our lives.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, free your mind to the infinite outpouring of God’s Love. Meditate on the simple manta, “Everything is happing in divine perfect timing.” Know that your transformation is happening at the pace it needs to happen. Journey any thoughts or insights that might come up before, during, and after meditation. It is important for you to keep a record of all your Ah-ha moments.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I free my mind with the love of God. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 27 “Surrender to Absolute Power”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 27 “Surrender to Absolute Power”

The Body Connection: When we are mindful of what we put into our bodies, we begin the process of surrendering to God. Mindful eating accounts for 65% to 75% of health and fitness, and our journeys are fueled by what we eat. What we consume will affect the way our body acts, moves, and feels. A simple rule of thumb is if you want to feel alive, eat living foods. The nature of the Universe is perfect and absolute, so nature provides everything we need to survive. Live food has the nutrients we need for healthy living. Also, if we want to burn fat, we must burn calories. Eating less and being active is the key. Your eating is a spiritual experience if you allow it to be. Eat with a purpose; mindfully nourish the body-temple and commune with your higher self. Every morsel of living food comes from Source, designed to support you on your journey.

Meditative Thought: True power comes from surrendering to an absolute presence that is greater than our human incarnation. As you begin to grow spiritually, you will see that everything returns to God. Every situation is an opportunity to remember that the answer always lies within you. Connect with the Universal presence that is your essence. Allow the Universe to be the solution to all your challenges.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, make God bigger than your problems. When you become overwhelmed with all the things that are required for your personal transformation, remind yourself that God is bigger than all of this and that you are supported. Today, use affirmations to keep you on track.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am one with God, and I am blessed. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 10 “Surrender to the Stillness”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 10 “Surrender to the Stillness”

Meditative Thought: We can only truly know God in the stillness. Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still, and know that I am God.” The Psalmist had the experience that God would be known in the quiet time of meditation. Our recognition of God is deepened through our time spent in the stillness. We must surrender to the practice of knowing and experiencing God through the silence.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, surrender to the activity of knowing God and allow it to be your first priority.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I stand on holy ground and my journey is blessed. 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 6 “God Lives Within”

Meditative Thought: Our connection to the Universe is the key to everything. We must stop looking up to a God that is far away and begin to surrender to a God that lives within our being.

Anything we set the intention to do must be fueled from the energy of surrender to allow the fullness and the greatness to come forth.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, begin to know the God within you. Cultivate a relationship with your higher self. Spend time communing and getting to know Spirit on an intimate level.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 5 “Whose Life Is It Anyway?”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 5 “Whose Life Is It Anyway?”

Meditative Thought: When you feel the need to control the outcome of every situation and you think things are not going your way, ask yourself the question, “Whose life is it anyway?” This simple but divine contemplation will align your consciousness with the truth. Your life is the life of God; therefore you are free to relax. When we choose to operate from a place of surrender, we have the power to live a life that is powerful and filled with meaning.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, relax in God and allow your highest potential to unfold. When challenges appear and life seems to take you off track, ask yourself the question, “Whose life is it anyway?” Go within and listen for your answer.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I move, live, and have my being in God. All my intentions are blessed. It is done and so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 16 “Surrender to Empower Yourself”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 16 “Surrender to Empower Yourself”

Meditative Thought: The sacred act of surrendering to God is the first step of empowerment. When we acknowledge that a power greater than ourselves is running the game, we can relax. The surrendering to the Universal presence of order and balance leads to a Freedom, a freedom to do anything and everything that we are called to do. We know that there is a power within us that is prefect, whole, and complete, and that knows exactly what you need to fulfill any mission. When we rely on that energy, we choose to empower ourselves with this non-equitable source. When we are truly free to express God deeply, we begin to know true Abundance; Abundance of the Spirit. This Abundance in Spirit allows a deep flow of Creativity to show up in every part of our lives.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, identify places in your life that you are not willing to surrender to God. Take the time to examine your life and see where you are holding on to the control. Make a list in your journal, and then make a mindful intention to turn it over to God. This is a process that may take days, months, even years, but the first step is the identification and the need to release.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am free to activate God. And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 9 “Words That Empower”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 9 “Words That Empower”

Meditative Thought: Your language and thinking is key for your personal empowerment. Be aware of negative thoughts entering into your mind. As soon as you are aware of the negative thoughts, use an affirmation to help you shift your thinking. Affirmations help to expand your consciousness and subconscious, allowing the super-consciousness to empower your existence. Align your intentions with affirmative language, creating the most effective and ideal atmosphere primed for transformation.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, affirm yourself with a mantra that speaks the truth of your existence. Mindfully speak the words until you have feel empowered, until you are anchored firm in the awareness of the power of God. Write an affirmation that you can believe, one that will help you to stay focused. “I am one with the Divine power, and my highest good is unfolding perfectly,” is a simple affirmation with effective power. Set your clock, watch, or phone alarm for 6am, 12 noon, and 6pm, as a reminder to say your affirmation. Take the time to journal you experience.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am one with the Divine Power, and my highest good is unfolding perfectly. And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 7 “The Power of Gestation”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 7 “The Power of Gestation”

Meditative Thought: How can we navigate through our gestation periods? Here is the key: stay focused and empowered. Keep a positive attitude. Your thoughts will affect what emerges from this waiting space. What we think is in direct relation to what we manifest for our life. Our thoughts coagulate into our existence. If we think that nothing is going on during this time, than nothing is what our experience will be. It is the waiting that allows direction to come forth. “Be still and know” is a verse from the Old Testament. Be still and know that I am God. Be still and know what to do. Be still and know where to move. Honor your gestation period and know that the great divine idea is growing inside you, ready to be birthed.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, recognize the power in doing nothing. Be still and know the truth; wait on your insight. There is power in staying put. Spend time in meditation. Throughout your day, spend time in contemplation, cultivating the insight you received during your meditation.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I allow only positive thoughts to be my experience. And so it is.
