Month: October 2020

Often times our thoughts and conversations are directed at the future or the past, that we forget to focus on the present. Being Present is bringing full awareness to the moment we are in. Filtering out distractions and bringing our attention to the task at hand.

Doing this allows the combined stresses of life to fade to the background as we focus on being right here, doing whatever it is that we are doing right now. With a focused mind and a sense of gratitude for this very moment.

As we’ve talked about in class, one of ways to improve our ability to come into the present moment is to calm the mind in meditation. Meditating at any time of the day, brings rewards that filter into all aspects of life. Any time Is the perfect time to refresh or renew ourselves. We just have to choose to make the time for it and allow it to actually help us.

Between our regular meditations, when we are in the world. We can use short meditations for even one or two minutes that are refreshing, calming, centering and good for our health and clarity. They open the window of communication to our higher wisdom, returning us to our spiritual perspective and allowing us to connect to God and to ourselves. This allows us to focus on God’s peace, Love and trust which will allow us to act from a place that is centered and peaceful. ???

Our Goal for the next 2 weeks is to bring ourselves to this calming connection as many times a day as possible. And to be more present in our daily tasks. You may have to remove distractions and take some deep breaths, but you can do it! ??? The more we practice the more natural It will become.

Here’s one way you can practice this.

▫️Stop what you’re doing.

▫️Take three deep breaths and allow yourself to feel what is going on in your body and mind.

▫️Invite the calming peace and love to be with you.

▫️ Start your next task with gratitude, kindness joy, compassion and love.

Hope that you can allow yourself to have more moments to access your inner oasis. We will have class tonight at 6pm if there’s rain we will do it through zoom. If not, we’ll meet outside ? Hope that you can make it and continue to do things to strengthen your Body, Mind and Spirit. ?

Love,

With everything that has happened in our world this year. There’s been an increase in emotional instability, stress, fear and anxiety.

Addiction and violence have been on the rise and we’re finding ourselves and our loved ones looking for ways to “numb” the emotional stress that surrounds us.

We resort to food, look for compliments or validation on social media, we obsess over our physical appearance, use entertainment, tv, shopping, substances and many other activities that seem harmless at first, but little by little become the ways in which we buffer our emotions.

Can you see how we’re slowly becoming more and more dependent on outside sources to bring us “inner peace”? Most of the time we don’t even realize how much we’re allowing those things to control our emotional state, or how we’re “numbing the discomforts” of life which little by little disrupts our inner peace.

This week I want to motivate you to take a look deeper within yourself. Remember that this may not feel comfortable at first and you may be tempted to grab your phone or try to look for your “buffering tools.” The goal is to honestly sit quietly and make a list of the things that you use to “numb” your emotional discomfort. What comes up for you? What are the things you reach for first? Do they bring you peace? Or do they leave you feeling worse?

Once you’re able to do this for yourself, be proud of your ability to be clear about what those things are. Set a goal for yourself this week that you will notice when those things start to show up and motivate yourself to not rely on them for your comfort. Instead, try to disconnect from the outside world to focus on your internal peace which is always available to you, if you choose to focus on it.

Remember that God invites us to fully place our trust on HIM. He is the prince of peace, who invites our souls to receive long lasting and eternal peace.

John 14:27 Says: “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”❤️ ? ??

God wants us to not be troubled or afraid. So, what is troubling you today? What is bringing you fear or frustration? Whatever those feelings are, sit with them for a little bit. It’s ok! & remember to allow yourself to speak to God and release that to HIM. He will remove those feelings from you and instead fill you with peace and trust in Him, which is where the greatest peace can come from. Being at peace with God is lasting peace for the soul. ❤️

Remember that no one has permission to upset you, unless you allow them to do so. We talk about this in class every week! So, hopefully you can make it tonight to learn more about this and to gain greater strength to help you.

So, set the goal for yourself to notice what you’re using to buffer your emotions. Take some deep breaths and move forward with gaining greater inner peace. Make time to strengthen your relationship with God who is the Father of PEACE. He will allow you to be filled this week. ???

Our Spiritual goal this week is: To gain greater inner peace. ?

Our Physical goals is to exercise at least 2-3 times this week and to give our body healthy nutrient rich foods. ❤️

Hope To see you in class tonight at 6pm. Hope that you can come get rid of stress and strengthen yourself Physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Love,

Those of you who know me, know how much I love talking about the connection of the Body, Mind and Spirit. God has put this in my heart for many years. I’ve felt that many of my challenges and experiences have helped me to learn how important this connection is and I seek strongly to follow this feeling in my heart to continue to grow from it and to let others know of its importance and to hopefully help you on your journey as you also seek balance of your Body, Mind and Soul.

1 Corinthians 3: 16 Says; know ye not that ye are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

I want to remind you that God has giving you an amazing gift of having a body, mind and soul, all in one amazing temple which is you. Only you can allow yourself to Bring balance to your temple.

You are In control of what you allowed to enter your mind by the things that you watch and listen to.

You are in control of what you allowed to enter your body. By choosing foods that will be nourishing for you, and by allowing yourself to exercise and do what you can to keep your physical body in balance.

And finally you are in control of what you allow your soul to receive. The soul is the one thing that we take with us after this life. So how important is it to take care of it? It is the soul which allows all the other areas of your life to come together.

God has put you on this earth to discover how your inner strength can help you throughout your life. And as you balance your physical emotional and spiritual needs you will see that you will be better able to make choices and to feel the spirit of God more strongly in your life.

So today focused on what you can do to allow the spirit of God to be with you, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Take some deep breaths, be present and enjoy each moment. Look for joy and try to remember that you have a God who loves you and is here for you. With Him life is full of peace, love love and Joy. ❤️

Hope that you can make it to class tonight!! don’t forget that we’re starting at 6 PM. This is a good opportunity to disconnect from everything else, and to do some thing amazing for your body mind and soul. So I invite you to come get rid of stress, strengthen and renew your inner self and leave feeling lighter, peaceful and ready to do more for yourself and for others.

You’ve got this!!! ????

Love,

Lili ?
