Month: May 2024

Sometimes we rush through our days having so many distractions and responsibilities that we forget to slow down a little and enjoy just being in the moment.

Sadly, most of our thoughts end up stuck in the future or the past and by the time we know it, the day is gone and we’ve been focused on “future or past thinking”. Sometimes it feels like we’re on autopilot so much that we forget to have moments of being fully being present and engaged in each activity and each moment.

Slowing down and re-focusing our attention on the present moment takes practice. It’s not just a nice thought to have. It actually requires us to choose to practice each moment being fully there and fully present. 

I believe that God created Day and night for a reason. Night time is our reminder to slow down, to rest, sleep and renew our minds and our bodies. A time for us to turn off the constant chatter of our thoughts, the stress and the distractions of our day and to allow ourselves to rest and recover.

I also believe that God our Father wants us to focus on taking in that sunrise as a way of seeing a new day as a new opportunity for us to choose that renewal for ourselves. A new opportunity to be more present and focused on today. ☀️

God doesn’t want us to run faster than we have strength, or to let our minds constantly dictate what we should think and do. We have the power each day and each moment to CHOOSE how to show up in this very moment. To check our thoughts and see if they’re helpful and useful for us. God wants us to choose to do those things that can invite light into our souls, peace to our minds, greater love to our hearts and health to our bodies.

He wants us to focus on taking things ONE DAY AT A TIME. The more that we’re able to enjoy the DAILY BLESSINGS, the “daily Bread” that God gives us & the daily energy and mercy that we’re able to receive from Him, the happier and more peaceful our days and lives will be.

One of the best ways to practice being present is to focus on our senses or 5,4,3,2,1. What do we see, name and notice the 5 things you see. 4 things you hear, 3 things you feel, 2 that you can smell and 1 thing to taste and focus on each sense. We practice this in class almost every week to help us bring our attention to the present. Creating opportunities to live present and to the fullest in this very moment.

The truth is that none of us know when our time on this earth will end. I recently had an uncle who suffered a heart attack 🙁 & its situations like that, which put life into perspective. None of us know what’s going to happen. So, trying to live each hour in the best way we can and being the most present is the best gift we can give to ourselves & to those around us. We can choose to enjoy the breath we have at the moment we have it & to find gratitude in each day and hour is a huge gift that we can give to ourselves & to God.

So, let’s practice making a conscious effort to enjoy each day, to give service, help others and most importantly to choose how to react to our thoughts. We can allow ourselves to feel our feelings and also choose to invite peace in that very moment to flow into our minds, body and spirit. Just remember that what we focus on really matters. So, invite the light and glorify Gro in your thoughts, words and actions of this day.

Something else that helps is focusing our minds on scriptures or positive affirmations that can lift our focus. For example saying to ourselves.

“I am a daughter of God, divine light is within me and around me. I am aligned and supported by my Father in Heaven and All is well.”

“I am clear, focused and efficient in my work today.”

“I am peaceful, joyful and patient with my kids and friends.”

“I flow through the day with the spirit, ease and grace.”

“I listen for guidance and follow my inner voice.”

“I have all the time I need for all I need to do.”

These are some of the examples of affirmations that help me. Having affirmations and scriptures that help us is so important for us to be able to take it one day at a time and really be able to enjoy our life. God has counseled us to take it one day at a time. So, let’s try to remember what He has counseled us to do.

Mathew 6:34

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take Thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

He wants us to remember to not worry about tomorrow. The things of tomorrow will work out the way they’re meant to and according to His will. He doesn’t want us to be so focused about Tomorrow, or what is ahead. instead He wants us to think about what we can do today. What challenges we have to overcome and to focus our energy on the present moment which is really the ONLY moment we can control. 

So, I invite you to Trust in God and trust in His love. Trust that He will provide for you in His way and in His timing. Let go of those feelings of stress, anxiety and fear. Instead, trust in the being who created the universe and who knows the end from the beginning. The one who KNOWS YOU! LOVES YOU & has His own perfect plan for your life, for what you’re meant to go through, overcome and rejoice in…It’s all in HIS HANDS & HE LOVES YOU!!! ❤️ So, choose to live this day in Joy and feeling blessed.

Remember to take it one step at a time, one day at a time. Enjoy the blessings, the little moments and you will feel amazing in knowing that you’re enjoying your most precious DAILY blessings. Even if it’s something hard that you’re going through, try to invite God to help you and to be with you in this moment. Focus on inviting peace, motivation, light, love or whatever your soul needs to get through each moment of just TODAY.

Feel the love and the blessing of having people around you who love and care for you. Count your blessings and TRUST IN YOURSELF AND IN GOD. He will bless you and take care of you. He will help you to know what to focus on one hour at a time as you seek for His divine guidance and as you allow yourself to be present. & As you do your best, let go of the rest for now, He’ll take care of the rest. And you’ll be able to do it tomorrow. 

So, remember to be in this very moment. Breathe, bring yourself the peace and the love of God that surrounds all living things & Prioritize your hour. Just be in this very moment. Focus on today, on this hour & do your best.

Psalm 118:24

This is the day which the Lord hath made; I will rejoice and be glad in it.

Our Spiritual goal for the week is to focus on taking it ONE DAY AT A TIME. Slow down a little and rejoice. 🙂 Find joy in your day. A life with joy is a life well lived. So, let’s focus on joy. Let’s practice being present and strengthening our relationship with God TODAY 😉 so that He may give us the daily wisdom that we need to know where to focus our energy, thoughts and actions. 

Our Physical goal for the week is to move our bodies and to drink more water. Also, let’s try to eat foods rich in vitamins and nutrition. The more we’re able to help our bodies the better we will also feel mentally and spiritually. It’s all connected 😉 

ClASS IS TONIGHT AT 7:00pm!!! Make that choice for yourself today, to take care of YOU! 🫶🏼 & to do this for your Body, your Mind and your Spirit. You’ll be so proud of yourself and you’ll leave feeling stronger, peaceful, joyful, relaxed and renewed in every way. 💖

Love you all & hope that you can make it and gain what you’re meant to from class and from this message. Remember to choose to do the best that you can for yourself today. Be present from one moment to the next and feel the difference. Tonight we’ll meditate together and strengthen ourselves together. Can’t wait to see you guys there!! 🥰💖🤗

I recently remembered an experience that I had teaching a group of kids ages 8 to 11. After exercising, we tried to quiet our minds and bodies for a moment. I encouraged them to take a moment to feel gratitude for the body that God has given them. To think about how amazing their bodies are, the way they work and the ability that we have to move, exercise and to even be able to choose what thoughts to have. Our bodies and minds are a blessing that we often take for granted. 

During the meditation portion of the class, I asked the kids to close their eyes and FOCUS on allowing their bodies to relax. To just feel their breath & be in a moment of gratitude.

I guided them through a meditation where I asked them to see themselves in the most beautiful and peaceful place they could think of. I encouraged them to focus on visualizing themselves being the in the presence of God. To allow themselves to be open to feeling a hug from Him and to truly try to listen to what God was telling each of them individually. 

I then opened my eyes for a moment to check on the kids and noticed that some of the kids were smiling! Others looked focused and peaceful. I was even able to notice a little girl who had tears coming down her face. I realized at that moment that each child in that room who wanted to feel God had an opportunity to personally connect to Him. I realized that if each one of us chooses to connect to God and focuses on that, we can definitely feel Him too! It was a beautiful experience for me to see how God is able to provide what each soul needed at that very moment. The kids were able to connect to Him and to each personally have their own experience with God in that very moment. 

I then asked the kids to guard and treasure in their hearts the feelings and the words that were coming to them from God. I know that when we’re truly wanting to feel God and we come to Him with that full purpose and real intent in our hearts, He will make Himself known unto us. He will bring peace to our hearts and let us know He is there. 

After the meditation I asked the kids to gently open their eyes. I could feel the peace and light in the room. I asked them what they felt or what they could see, and one little girl smiled and said: “ I CAN STILL SEE JESUS even with my eyes open” I thought wow! Wouldn’t it be amazing if we all could “see” Jesus even with our eyes open?!” Could the focus of this very hour be placed on the Savior? Could we try to see the hand of God in this day? & in this very moment know that He is present in our lives? 

I felt at that moment that I want my focus to be placed more on Christ and less on fear, complaining or focusing in the things that are not going right or that we may be lacking etc. I want to focus more on trusting and believing in Him rather than not seeing Him in my day to day life. 

After the activity was over, I gave that same little girl a ride home. As I was driving she pointed out the window and said: “Look at those beautiful red flowers!!! 🌹 Isn’t God amazing? He made them so bright and pretty!”…We talked about how hard it would be to describe that bright color red to someone who is blind?! It was impossible to come up with the right words to describe that color and beauty. We talked about how blessed we are to be able to see the beauty of those flowers and all of the things that God created. 

The words form that sweet little girl, have stayed with me ever since I hear them. “I can still see Jesus even with my eyes open!” So now, I’m trying to focus the “lenses of my vision” on noticing God more around me. I’m trying to purposely change my thoughts and to direct them more toward God. To ask Him to help me, guide me and inspire me to see Him and feel Him hour by hour. 

I invite anyone who is able to read this message to change your focus and try it out at least for today to see if you feel differently. But to purposefully try to focus more on seeing the hand of God in your life today. To focus on gratitude, Joy and peace rather than focusing on stressing out about all kinds of things that may be going on. Today, I’m choosing to keep my eyes open to Him. To feeling God, being present with Him and allowing Him to light the hours of my day from one moment to the next. 

I invite you to choose to focus on seeing God and focusing on giving all things to him. HE IS BIGGER AND GREATER THAN ANY OF YOUR PROBLEMS. HE WILL HELP YOU AND TAKE CARE OF YOU. Allow yourself to be open to feeling him close to you and around you. Trust in the God who is able to remove your burdens, your pain and instead allow yourself to feel the pure love that God has just for you.

I pray that as we practice this goal of changing what we focus on, that we will be able to change how we feel, how we spend our time and the energy that we put into each moment of our day. So, remind yourself today and say to yourself; “God will help me. He is loving, kind and a giver of good gifts. It’s in His nature to want to comfort me and provide for me. So I come to Him with a pure heart and with Faith knowing that He will take care of me moment bu moment. He will show me what to focus on and allow me to see Him even with my eyes open.” 💛

Hope to see tonight at 7:00pm to allow our minds and bodies to release stress and to focus on renewing ourselves mentally, physically and spiritually. Don’t forget that we’re the ones who need to dig deep and find the motivation to do this for ourselves. 💪🏼🥰 Try to remind yourself of the reasons WHY you want to exercise, release stress and calm your mind through prayer and meditation. Just show up and I promise that you’ll leave class feeling way better than before you got there. You’ll go home feeling peaceful, renewed and filled with positive energy.

I hope that you can make it and invite others to benefit as well. ❤️

You’ve got this! God and His divine light are all around you to fill you completely and give you energy and strength. keep going and doing your best. 💪🏼🥰❤️🙏🏼

Our lives can be either driven by our schedules or by spirit. They can be driven by the constant chatter of our minds or by a place of calm. They can be driven by impulse or by wisdom.

Precious, sacred silence is one of our most essential friends. Our silent time reminds us of who we are and it gives us access to infinite wisdom from which we are guided when making our daily decisions. So why is it so difficult to write it on today’s schedule?

Many of us now have a spiritual practice during which we pray for assistance, read the word of God, meditate, focus on gratitude or find ways to inspire our heart. But as we know, the world pulls ferociously in different directions. It begs us to pay attention, to divide our time, to distract our focus and to be busier than it’s good for the soul.

It takes a mindful effort and awareness to revisit our priorities often, and make the time to connect with spirit. It’s the most important thing we will do in the day. And when we do it first, the rest of the day is driven by moments of intuition gained from connecting mindfully with the source of all love, peace and light.

This is not a duty or an effort. We don’t work to be more spiritually connected; it is who we are. All we have to do is set aside time to check in and to let the noise drop away for long enough to reveal the beauty and calm that resides within us. And if we can just hover there…open… For a moment without jumping in with a thought, within that stillness, is when we’re able to activate our soul’s wisdom.

Having a time during the day to calm the mind and still the soul can be a challenging practice. But that is one of those things that will have lasting consequences in our lives. We deserve to create moments of internal peace for ourselves. Moments to gain higher intuition and guidance. The rewards of doing this for ourselves will reach across all aspects of our being. Every day is a good day to begin learning or to recharge our practice. It’s always better to have progress over perfection.

Our goal for this week is to create more peaceful moments, to quiet our minds, be still and listen. We can ask for inspiration, breathe and take a moment to write down what we feel. As we’re able to keep those notes throughout the week, we will see that God does speak to us. Directly to our heart ♥️ That internal peace is always available to us. Silence and peace can become our new friend. God wants to remind us that we can create moments to be still, to Still our souls and to know that He is God. Invite more of that light and wisdom into your day and you’ll feel the difference.

As we choose to make time for moments of peace and quiet. We will be better able to express our feelings to our Father in Heaven. We will be better able to find peace for our soul, we will be open to allowing the light of Christ to enter more deeply into our lives. Allowing Him to purify and remove our negative thoughts and feelings and instead inviting the healing light of the Savior to cover us completely. 💛

I fully believe that it is part of our earthly experience to come and live in these bodies. So that we may learn to live and take care of them. But also, so that we may LEARN to go within ourselves to find the divine stillness that can only come from the presence of God. From where our spirits were born. We must learn this skill of going within and quieting the mind and the world. To really know that we TRUST GOD. To connect to Him in prayer and in spirit.

As we PRACTICE this skill, we will feel a stronger connection to Heaven. More inspiration and insights will come. We will be better able to handle our problems and we will have more trust and faith in God. We will gain a confidence that is divine and rises above any type of worldly confidence. There’s no degree, no amount of money, Power or no self help courses that can bring the type of confidence and peace that only the spirit of God can provide to our souls.

May we quiet our words, calm our thoughts, soften our hearts and still our souls daily, so that we may listen, be open, have faith and receive. & most importantly, let your spirit lead and remember to BE STILL AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD. 🤍

Unfortunately Class is Canceled tonight but we will resume again next Thursday at 7pm. For now, do your best to take care of your body, mind and spirit. Remember that God loves you, He wants to hear from you! Make it your priority this week to make quiet moments for Him and to strengthen yourself from within. Notice His hand in your life and thank Him for your many blessings. He will guide you on what to focus on each hour of your day. & don’t forget that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.

Love,

The world is constantly attacking our worth. We are constantly led to believe that we’re not good enough, not beautiful enough, not smart enough etc.

Have you noticed that we are constantly pushed to seek validation from external sources? We feel that we are worth more if we have “more” than others, or if we get a certain number of likes on social media or gain popularity or recognition in some kind of way.

There’s a scripture in 2 Timothy 3: 1-4 which describes the world we’re living in right now.

It says; “..In the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

I pray that we will be able to be more lovers of God than lovers of pleasures or of the vain things of this world. Loving God is a truth that will change us completely. When we love Him and draw closer to Him we try to be more like Him and we begin to connect to that deeper knowledge of who we are as children of God.

This is a powerful truth that can transform our lives: the profound love and potential that resides within each one of us, is given to us by a loving Creator.

As children of a divine and loving God, we are filled with His light, peace and love. We can recognize that we have infinite worth and potential within us. His love for us is unconditional, unwavering, and ever-present, reminding us that we are of eternal worth & we are never alone on our journey of finding our worth and giving ourselves the love that we need.

I want to share a few ways that can help us align ourselves with God’s love and help us embrace our divine potential:

1. Connect with God through prayer: As we take time each day to commune with God through heartfelt prayer. We can share our Joys, struggles and aspirations with Him. knowing that He listens with boundless love and understanding. This will allow us to direct our focus to Him and to listen to our creator instead of trying to listen to the world.

2. Seek His guidance: In moments of uncertainty or self doubt, we can choose to turn to God for wisdom and guidance. Trusting that He has a unique plan for our own life, and that every experience, whether joyful or challenging, serves a purpose in our journey.

3. Recognize our divine worth: Remind yourself by saying “I am a beloved child of God, created in His image. As His child, I’m filled with divine light, love and peace to help me through today.” We can choose to embrace our worthiness and inherent goodness, knowing that we are precious and valuable in His eyes.

4. Embody Christlike Love: We can choose to Follow the example of Jesus Christ in extending love, compassion, and forgiveness—not only to others but also to ourselves. Letting His teachings guide us in nurturing a kind and loving relationship with ourselves.

5. Tap into Your Gifts and Talents: God has blessed each one of us with unique gifts, talents, and strengths. We can explore and develop these gifts, using them to uplift others and fulfill our divine purpose. As we share and allow our talents to grow and to glorify God we will see that our love for ourselves and for God will increase. Saying to ourselves daily “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens ME!”

6. Trust in His Timing: Trusting that God’s timing is perfect. Will allow us to be patient with ourselves on our journey of self-love, knowing that He is always working in our lives, guiding us toward growth and fulfillment.

7. Embrace Your Divine Potential: Remind yourself by saying “I am capable of greatness beyond measure. I Believe in myself, I trust in God’s plan for me, and I embrace the limitless potential that lies within my heart and soul.”

8. & last but not least, embrace gratitude: expressing gratitude to God for the body that we have, the ability to breathe and to move. Acknowledging the gift of this body and having a desire to take care of it is one of the ways in which we honor God and ourselves. & recognizing our blessings and counting them daily will also allow us to recognize how blessed we are and how much God loves us.

I hope that these words will help you to remember your worth. I believe that before we came to this earth, we were CONFIDENT of our worth. It is part of the test of life, for us to come closer to God and to realize the worth that we’ve always had and will continue to have for Eternity. Remember, that we are eternal beings having a mortal experience. We do not need to let the world get to us because we know in whom we have placed our trust.

As we choose to embrace of God’s love and the realization of our divine potential, we find the courage, strength, and inspiration to love ourselves more fully and authentically. I hope that you can feel that love for yourself today and each day.

Our spiritual goal is to remind ourselves of our worth daily! Not allowing that negative talk or comparison to get in the way. But instead, aligning ourselves to God and to making the best choices to care for our AMAZING body, mind and spirit. All that we do can be done to glorify God. 🫶🏼

Love you all and hope that you can make it to class tonight at 7pm to do something amazing for our body, mind and spirit. 🥰❤️🙏🏼

Every sunrise is a blessing, a gift just for today. Embrace it and enjoy it before it fades away.” If we choose to see the gifts that God has given us, we will see His fingerprints of Love and divinity all around us. 

Some days may be harder than others. Regardless of the type of day we may be having, it’s important to remember that we need to slow down. To focus on TODAY. To take it one day at a time or one moment at a time. We can make a conscious choice to be present, in the here and now. We can ask God to help us become more aware of our surroundings, and more willing to focus on our blessings. 

We can choose to be filled with Peace in this moment. We can choose to be filled with Love and light. All of these are gifts that we can give to ourselves. Gifts that we can give to God, and gifts that we can give to others. We can choose to focus our attention on seeing the light, beauty and love that is woven in all that surrounds us at this very moment. 

God wants us to be more present. He tells us in Mathew 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

God wants us to practice being more present. Each moment brings with it the gift of life and the chance to focus on seeing our blessings and experiencing love in this very moment. Remember that this small moment, this precious day will not come again. We have never seen a day like this before. Therefore we must try to make it the best it can be. We can choose to focus our choices and activities on what is truly important and on what will allow us to feel more connected to God and his daily gifts.

We can change the way we see things normally, and focus instead on the beauty that is around us. we can start to view our day as being saturated in sacred sights and sounds. Then, this moment right here, right now, where we are, broken, messy, or whatever it may be, can become a beautiful & holy moment.

James 1:17 Says: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

God is the provider and the giver of all Good gifts. If we choose to see His light in our lives, we will see Him and feel Him.

I want to share a quick experience that I had this week. One of my family members had a doctors appointment and I was nervous about the results. I had a moment where I said a little prayer in my heart and asked Heavenly Father to help us butterfly that I have seenfeel peace and to know that everything would be ok. After hours of waiting, as we were leaving the doctor’s office, I opened the door to leave and I saw the most beautiful big white butterfly that I’ve ever seen! As I looked at it, I had this feeling come to my heart and mind that God is very present in our lives and that he knows how we feel. I felt that those butterflies that I saw were like my angels that were present during that very time that I needed it. 🦋

If we’re willing to see Gods fingerprints in this very moment, we will see Him and know that he’s way more present than we think. Even though we don’t know what the outcome of something may be. We can still trust that we are in His hands and that we have a Father in Heaven and a Savior who want to comfort us and help us.

He gives us more than we realize daily. He loves us and wants us to keep our view focused on trusting HIM & not the world. He is The Father of of our souls, the one who grants us our breath this day and He is the giver of all that we have. He who knows the end from the beginning & is ready to help us and lift us daily. We just have to reach up to Him and consciously be aware of how blessed we are and the gifts that He is constantly giving us.

So, let’s remind ourselves today to look up! Look up to the Father of lights to fill us with more light. As his children we already have his light within us. But it is up to us to fill our hearts, homes and all that surrounds us with more of His divine light. The more we’re willing to see it, the more we’ll be able to experience it.

Let’s remember to not allow the enemy to bring us down. Recognizing the negative ways in which he attacks us. But also remembering that we’re stronger than we realize. Our power comes from our Father in Heaven. Who is filled with love, light and peace. Our power comes from Christ. & we know that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. So, find your strength in Christ today.

Reject negativity with the power of prayer and let’s feed our minds and souls with all that is good & uplifting. We get to CHOOSE to focus on the light or not. God invites us to experience His love in the daily moments that He gives us on this earth. So, Enjoy them and allow your heart to be peaceful and soak in that daily divine light.

I invite all of us to look for the light, for the gifts that God so abundantly gives each one of us daily. I invite us to also be a light to others and to consciously choose to be filled with Love, Light and Peace form one moment to the next. Let’s recognize and thank God for all of the gifts He has blessed us with and continues to provide even to this very moment.

Finally, I want to challenge all of us to make a promise to ourselves to take our focus away from ourselves a little more and think of a gift that we personally could offer to God this week? What would be a good gift to give Him for all He does for each one of us? I pray that as you do this you will be blessed to feel an even greater abundance of Gods love and blessings.

Sadly class is canceled tonight. But we will resume again next week. Remember to set a physical goal for yourself to move your body and do your best this week. & also remember to take care of your spirit as well. Setting some time aside daily to allow yourself to connect to God in Prayer and meditation. 💖

Love you all and hope to see you next week.

Love,

Lili 🌸
