DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 15 “Where Light Lives”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 15 “Where Light Lives”

Today’s Body Connection: When you are experiencing sickness, stay home and rest. One of the hardest things to do is to take time off from your workout, especially when you begin to see results. Taking a day or two off is the best thing we can do when we’re ill. We will come back stronger and more effective once we have healed. During our dis-ease of the body-temple, it is challenging to see our inner light, but know that it lives within our souls no matter what. The Light of Love is our essence; be willing to connect with that light.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Back in the day, there was a great dance track by Alison Limerick called, “Where Love Lives.” My favorite line from the song is, “follow me down, deep down where love lives…” The message of the song invites us to go within to find love. The Light of God lives within all of us and can only be accessed by going deep into your soul. It is true that the Light lives everywhere, but the initial recognition starts with an exploration of our being.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, begin to look for love within yourself. Take a journey into your inner being and find Divine Love. You will know when you find it, because nothing else will matter. The Grace of God fills you up like no other. Nothing else comes close to the fulfillment that the Light brings.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, the Light of God lives deep within my soul and it activates my greatest potential. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 12 “The Blessings of the Light”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 12 “The Blessings of the Light”

Today’s Body Connection: Can you find your blessings? They are always there but we don’t always see them. During your workout, set the intention to see the gifts that the light bestows upon us. Remember, when you exercise the body-temple, you radiate a glowing light. When you get your blood moving or 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 Meditative Thought: When we identify with the Light, we become aware that everything the Light is, we are. There is nothing the Light has that we don’t posses ourselves. Every divine quality is freely expressed as you. All the things you are seeking, whether it’s love, joy, compassion, abundance, and grace, you already are. The blessing of the Light is the realization that you are one in the Light. When I use “Be blessed” or “Be well” as a salutation or a goodbye, it’s another way of saying, “Awaken to your divinity, know that you are blessed.”

Today’s Action Plan: Today, take the time to meditate on the blessing of the Light. Know that you are blessed because you are one in God. Remember that the blessing is the realization of who and whose you are. Once you know this for yourself, share the love with others by simply saying, “Be Well.”

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am blessed and well, because my life is the life of God. And so it is.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 10 “The I AM, the Light, and Love”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 10 “The I AM, the Light, and Love”

Today’s Body Connection: God is in every single workout. If you are open, you will see the Divine in every pushup, lunge, and squat. As we transform the body-temple, we awaken the awareness of who and what lives within our soul. We are the emanation of the Great I AM, created from Love, designed to shine the Light of the Universe. No matter what physical practice you are doing, know that it is the power of God that is fueling your workout.

Today’s Meditative Thought: No matter what you call your higher self, it is all the same. Some call it Love or God; some call it Light. Whatever name you give it, it is your higher self, the highest vibration that transcends this human plane of existence. The Light is an impersonal being that really has no name. The bible says that God is the I AM. The I AM speaks more of the existence of God than trying to name it. Be free to experience the presence of God. Connect with the Universal Flow, and then you will know that the I AM is what I am.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, be still and know the I AM. During meditation, take deep breaths and know the power of the Light. Fall deep into the Love of God each moment you are in the stillness. Be present to the Light that is your life.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I AM is the I AM that I AM. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 8 “The Power of the Light”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 8 “The Power of the Light”

Today’s Body Connection: The solution to injury is rest. That old saying, “no pain, no gain,” is a myth. Injuries are always an invitation for you to slow down. The body will always tell you exactly what you need and when you need it; you only have to listen. The power for you to heal yourself comes from the practice of stillness. You need to stop what you are doing so the body may heal.

Today’s Meditative Thought: The power of the Light heals any and all disease. When we recognize the perfectness of God, we begin to understand that there are no problems in the Light. It takes the practice of prayer, meditation, service, and sacred study to truly know what the light is. The first step is to recognize the true qualities of God and to understand that we are one in each and every quality. The only quality left is absolute peace, and that is the power that heals. Let’s celebrate the Light of God that restores all issues and human problems to peace. Understand that the only thing that is real within us is the Universal Presence; the rest is a facade with the appearance of lack, limitation, doubt, fear, and deception. The real power is allowing our consciousness to open and see beyond appearances. Go within yourself and cultivate the power of God. You are not divided from the One; you are the One expanding itself every moment and with every breath.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, put into practice the principles that will allow you to see beyond the appearances of negativity. Commit to prayer, meditation, affirmations, sacred study, generosity, and fellowship that activate the “oneness consciousness” within your life.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am one with the Power of the Light and all areas of my life are Holy and blessed. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 7 “The Light of Consciousness”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 7 “The Light of Consciousness”

Today’s Body Connection: Injury prevention is key when transforming the body-temple. One of the most common mistakes during the beginning stages of training is overdoing it, and that can lead to injuries. We must stay conscious every step of the journey. Check in with your body-temple. Stay connected and recognize when you need to slow down. Remember that you are on a journey with no destination. It’s not a race that you can win by coming in first. You have already won by showing up and participating in your practice. When you are connected and aware of what is happening with your body, you are conscious of your inner self.

Today’s Meditative Thought: The Light is also known as the Christ Consciousness. Jesus taught us that the power is our connection to God. He said, “I and the father are one,” teaching us that there is no separation from God. The light that Jesus radiated was the redemptive power that restored our consciousness back to that awareness. The Master Teacher also said, “Greater things you shall do.” The only possible way to do greater things is to know who and what lives within our being. When we are awake to the God within, then we awaken the Light of Christ, which is the Christ Consciousness.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, begin to cultivate and contemplate your connection with God. Take time to be still and just experience your oneness with a great power — the greatest power.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I awaken the power of God within me. I am an on purpose, on point being of God. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 6 “Let Your Light Shine”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 6 “Let Your Light Shine”

Today’s Body Connection: One of the most common questions I’m asked is, “What should I do first: cardio or strength?” My answer is whatever you dislike the most, do it first and get it out-of-the-way. If cardio is your favorite, your energy is always greater when you are participating in that activity. When you do something you love you will let your inner light shine. End your workout with a high vibration and you will feel successful.

Today’s Meditative Thought: “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine…” What a great song, but it is a challenging song for me to sing with the lyrics as is. There is nothing little about the Light that is shinning. The light is everything, everywhere present, always active. The only thing that is little is our consciousness of the Light. Once there is spiritual growth and we begin to recognize God, we begin to see the Light everywhere. We begin to understand that there is nowhere the Divine is not. When we use the word “Omni,” we declare that there is only one. The Omnipresence of the Light is a statement that God shines everywhere. We must allow the Light to be the biggest awareness within our lives. So, “This big light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine…”

Today’s Action Plan: Today, notice where your light is small and allow it to be the biggest thing in your consciousness.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, the light of my life is large and in charge. With a massive awareness, I live, move, and have my being in God. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 5 “Bringing the Darkness to the Light”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 5 “Bringing the Darkness to the Light”

Today’s Body Connection: Sometimes a plateau in your workout regime can have the appearance of stagnation. These periods in our lives can appear to be dark and ineffective. The truth of the matter is you only need new ideas about how to push past this stage. H.I.I.T. stands for high intensity interval training and it is the format that professional athletes use to stay in shape. It’s when you push yourself at a high intensity for a short period of time, and then you recover, repeating the intervals several times. When you work at a high level, you burn more calories for a shorter period of time. H.I.I.T. training will give you a sense of how powerful and amazing you are. You will activate a new frame of mind and energize your workouts. If you are looking to revamp your physical practice, try incorporating interval training one to two days a week. This shift in your training is the light you require to push past the “flat land.” Activate your radiance in the dark areas with a new way of exercising the body-temple.

Today’s Meditative Thought: We cannot bring Light to the dark places. It is the Light that is desired in one’s heart. We become influenced by the Divine Presence to transform our lives. It can be a person, place, song, or book that inspires change, but, ultimately, we must be willing to go on the journey of transformation ourselves. As we begin to say yes to the journey, the path becomes lighter. As we move down the road of enlightenment, we begin to know that the Light was always there; we just didn’t know it. The Illuminated life is a journey of attraction; God does not need promotion.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, recognize where the Light is calling for transformation in your life. Be willing to travel the road of enlightenment. Be aware of the dark areas in your life being illuminated with God. Take the time to journal your experience of awakening.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I walk boldly on the path of enlightenment and my pathway is bright, infused with the Light.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 4 “Surrendering to the Light”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 4 “Surrendering to the Light”

Today’s Body Connection: The physical practice can be achieved in so many ways. One option is sports. Think of the one sports activity you loved when you where in school: football, basketball, volleyball, or swimming. Revisit that sport and commit to doing it once a week. You don’t have to join a gym; you can find regional sports teams through your YMCA, church, or community center. Don’t limit your options to just the traditional ideas of working out. Get out of the box and begin to play again. When you find the activity that brings you joy, you open the gateway to letting your light shine, and shine bright!

Today’s Meditative Thought: Once we begin to recognize and understand the Light, we are called to surrender to its will. The purpose of the Light is to expand and to know more of itself. Each one of us is an expansion of the Light. The challenge is that we have forgotten this. Everyone is an incarnation of the Universal Presence, here to express more of the Light. Surrendering to the will of God is turning our life over to a divine purpose of sharing Love, Joy, Compassion, Oneness, Abundance, and Grace in every situation in our lives. When we surrender, we now have a purpose, a calling, and our existence has meaning.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, surrender to the Light. Set the intention to share God wherever you go. Give your existence meaning. Create a mantra that elevates your purpose upon the planet. Before you head out to start your day, speak the words that will fuel your life: “I set the intention to share God everywhere I am.”

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am the Light that shines wherever I am. I am the blessing that lights the planet and my life has meaning. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 2 “Identifying With the Light”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 31 Days of Celebrating Light – Day 2 “Identifying With the Light”

Today’s Body Connection: When we say yes to health and fitness, we say yes to letting our inner light shine, but it takes preparation. We must prepare our minds and our bodies for the journey of transformation. If you decide that running or walking is your preferred form of exercise, choose an area to run or walk that is pleasing to you. Research the different routes and paths you can take. Invest in a good pair of running shoes, and you also might want to purchase running gear. If yoga is your choice of exercise, buy your own yoga mat to help you have the best experience possible. If you are looking for a gym, find the place that speaks to you. Not every workout place is the right one for you. Preparation means giving yourself the best opportunity to shine and be successful.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Malcolm X once said, “A man must stand for something or he will fall for anything.” What do you stand for? What do you identify with? Do you identify with your job, the size of your home, or the size of your bank account? These are all nice things to have, but they are an illusion, a false God that we have created to give our lives meaning. The truth is our true identity is the One Presence, the One Mind, and the Universal Power of Love. We must put into practice prayer, meditation, fellowship, and service that cultivate the “oneness consciousness” within our lives. Once we know that there is no separation between God and us, we become free to identify with the light that lives within.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, begin to identify with the God that lives within you. Every moment remind yourself that you are one with Mother, Father, God. Create an affirmation that reminds you of the “oneness consciousness.”

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I identity with the Light within, and I allow it to shine bright. And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 29 “Divine Creativity”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 29 “Divine Creativity”

Today’s Body Connection: The body is a temple, housing our essence. It needs our daily practice. Health and fitness is our birthright and it is time to claim it. Surrender your self-sabotage, forgive your shortcomings, and push the restart button. Daily exercise, mindful eating, and an affirmative frame of mind are the keys to holistic transformation. Every day is a great day to start, just commit to the journey and set the intention to be aware that we are the physical incarnation of the Divine.

Meditative Thought: There is a creative force that lives within us all. This force is our higher self-wanting to come out and express itself. Divine Creativity is our rite of passage. We are creating all the time; words, thoughts, and talents are only a few ways we create everyday. Awareness is the key. We must be present to the time we are creating. We begin to see God through our creations. Prayer is the cultivation of creativity. When we pray we begin to activate the high vibration of creation; we tap into the universal force that created this planet that created life itself.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, pray for your creation. Know the unique ways you bring forth the divine.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I bring forth the divine through my creative process. I am creative; therefore new ideas spring forth every moment. Amen
