DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 2 “The Affirmative”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS:  30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 2 “The Affirmative”

Today’s Body Connection:  During your physical practice, what is it that you hope to achieve?  What are your desires?  What is the intention?  In other words, how would you like to feel after your workout? We must constantly check in with our self; self-exploration is the key when transforming the body-temple.  It is our hopes and desires that will carry us from point A to point B, and we must keep the faith that transformation is possible and that our goals are achievable.  Hope is the answer when your current condition looks unchangeable.  We must keep that little spark of light at the forefront of every session.  No matter what your weight-loss goal is — five, ten, or even 15 pounds — stay with it; you can do it!

Meditative Thought: Most people believe in God, a Universal force that governs our existence.  Prayer is a way to access and commune with that energy.  I used to pray to a God outside myself, asking and beseeching a gray, old father figure for the desires of my heart.  Now I understand that God is within each and every being.  I am one with this all-powerful force.  I pray with an understanding that I am one with the source of life.  I use a form of praying called, “Affirmative Prayer.”  Instead of begging for something, affirmative prayer states the truth of life.  Affirmative prayer declares our unification with God.  I believe we have everything we need.  Affirmative prayer is a tool to anchor that belief.  It is no longer whom I am praying to, it is where I am praying from.  I am praying from a place of knowing that I am Love, Joy, Abundance, Wholeness, Peace, Order, Balance, Gratitude, Oneness, and Compassion.  Affirmative prayer is a prayer field anchored by the universe, immersed in God.

Today’s Action Plan:  Today, during your prayer time, practice affirmative prayer.  Speak the truth of who you are.  Say, “I am Abundance, Love, Joy, Grace, Compassion, Creativity, Wholeness, and Prosperity.”  Take the time to journal your feelings and the vibration affirmative prayer gives you.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment… just for this breath, my life is the life of God and I am one with all Divine qualities.  And so I let it be.  Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 1 “Creating a Practice”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS:  30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 1 “Creating a Practice”

Today’s Body Connection:  We have all heard the saying, “practice makes perfect.” Now let’s change it around: “perfect makes practice.”  What I mean by that is when we understand our divine perfection we free ourselves to do the practice required to sustain that awareness.  For the next 30 days commit to a physical practice.  When we begin to move our body we activate a spirit of hope.  Every time we say yes to fitness, everything else becomes a reflection of the practice.  Walk, run, dance, weight train, it does not matter; get moving and watch your life unfold to greatness.

Meditative Thought:  Do something for 30 days and the practice becomes embedded in your consciousness.  I invite you to take part in the next 30 Days of faith, hope, prayer, and gratitude to help transform your body, mind, and spirit.   Join me on a 30-day journey exploring the practices that empower your life, experiencing prayer, meditation, affirmations, and a commitment to physical activity.  It doesn’t matter what you believe; just know that there is one universal force that expresses itself in so many ways.  The next 30 days focus on the space we practice from, not who we practice to. Make a commitment to pray for your family and friends, and be grateful for the people in your life.  I believe that the practice is the spiritual answer to every problem.

Today’s Action Plan:  Today, take all your cares and worries to prayer.  The outcome will amaze you.  Write a letter to God. Tell the Universe about what ails you.  Now imagine a God bigger than your problems.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, in the mind of God I have no problems or issues.  God is bigger than any worries I could have.  And so it is.  Amen
