#ChantingForChange: Day 4 Email There's no 'you' watching anything. There's just watching, always, already. In each moment we practice waking up from the dream of being the thinker, into a truer reality of being the formless Watching. You watch the anger, you watch the fear, you watch the breath. And when you watch your Self, You know God. There’s only God.

Ep 334If the Self is Gained, All Desires Are Fulfilled #GMfaves

Ep 212If you're going to depend on something, let it be God.

Thirty days of feeling (t)His Loving Silence is all you need to see the biggest dreams you've ever had. But in the seeming meantime, you have to see the chanter. You have to see the one that sits down during Holy Hour and tries to practice, that gets annoyed and frustrated, that gets distracted. You have to see them, not be them. That's how you know the GoOD part of the movie has started, you see them chanting. *pops popcorn* :) I Love you, Nik [email protected] Join our Chanting Challenge!

Ep 342Just the slightest turn toward the inside is a very big thing. #GMfaves

bonus

It’s only up from here. Trust. I used to sing this song at church growing up— 'through it all, I learned to trust in Jesus, I learned to trust in God. Through it all, I learned to depend upon His word." His Word, which was in the beginning, and IS now; It's what you're hearing right now, this Loving-Silence IS His Word. And you're learning to listen for this vibrating Silence, through it all-- through all the noise, through all the challenges, like a rope, it's pulling you up and out of the chaos. You're learning to trust what's on the other end of that rope. Trusting that It's pulling you to safety, that It's pulling you to the recognition that you were never in a well of suffering. That there was no well, just the belief in one, the dream of one, just like the dream of 'you'. And you wake up back on the throne, you wake up back at His feet. I Love you, Nik [email protected] _______________________ Today's Quotes: "…going up on a Tuesday.” -Drake "Now we're talking about a different end of the world than the bible has meant to most people. We're talking about an end of the world which is not the creation of God. We're talking about the end of a second creation. Of a false creation. We're talking about an internal change of consciousness." -Herb Fitch, Avila Beach "Just the slightest turn toward the inside is a very big thing." -Krishna Das "Bring your mind to one point, and wait for Grace." -Maharajji Episode about 'Looking Up Behind Closed Eyes' The song, 'Through It All'.

Ep 211Lord, help me understand what I can not see.

In the Name of Love (the Father), and of the Face of Love (the Son), and of the Breath of Love (the Holy Spirit)*, Amen. "When the Lord's Name is on our lips we need not be afraid in this world. " -Papa Ramdas You know how to pray. You pray in the Name, which is in the Feeling. You feel Him. Which is thanking Him. Which is Loving Him. Which is recognizing that the food is Him. That this body that it’s being fed to is Him. You do this with everything. With every sip of water. It’s an offering. Every step is a step toward Him. Even if you're stepping to the kitchen, you’re walking toward Him. You’re singing to Him. You’re chanting to Him. You’re always listening to Him no matter who's speaking to you. You’re always talking to Him-- when you’re doing that thing you do when you’re scared and those same thoughts are turning over and over, offer that to Him. Say, 'please take this from me'. And watch the Silent Peace that washes over you. When I say 'offer it to Him', you’re offering it to this felt-Love. You have a negative thought, Love is (t)here, too. And so you’re holding, feeling both for a while. But it's like He takes the negative thought from you, and then He places that empty hand over the other one, over that Love. And if you could stay like that, you’d have no worries, you'd have no problems, your whole life would become a beacon. Showing people, "this is the way, just feel Love as every moment."

Ep 210Just Relax and Trust the Process

When trusting the process seems like it's not working, that's also a part of the process. Feel this. Every time you notice a negative thought today, remember that it's a part of the process and couldn't be otherwise. So your 'free will' is knowing, 'that's the process, and I'm just bearing witness from Love, thank God!' I Love you, Nik [email protected] p.s. There actually is no process, just the appearance of one, with the beginning, middle, and end happening simultaneously, and you just watching, chanting, and minding your business.

Ep 337Joy starts with YOU – not with your relationships, job, or money. #GMfaves

If the work you do today does not bring you Joy, your work is to bring Joy to it. Feel this river of Joy while you work. The river of Joy was already there, and then It seems to appear as you doing work. So today, for the first time, you're remembering the river while you work, feeling the river while you work, being the river while you watch the work. Wherever you are, wherever you go, you bring the Joy. You bring the party. You don't go somewhere to have fun. 'I' is the fun! You become aware of the Joy (of the 'I') in that place, beyond the appearance of that place, and so you can become aware of Joy in any place, including your workplace. I Love you , Nik [email protected] Join our Mantra Chanting Challenge! Starts on Wednesday! Today's Quotes: "Happiness starts with you – not with your relationships, job, or money." -Sadhguru "My heart, flows like a river to the sea, may it always be, may it always be. A river of Grace flows through me, may it always be, may it always be." -Jahnavi Harrison from the song, "Like a River" "When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy." -Rumi "Wherever you are, be the soul of that place." -Rumi "Constant repetition of God's name , even without feelings of Devotion, in anger or lethargy , brings out His Grace. Once this is realized, there is no room for misgivings." -Maharajji "Whistle while you twerk." - The Yin Yang Twins "In this life, we learn how to flow with the river, and stop fighting with the rocks." -Lauren London "Flow of Grace." - Krishna Das "When we no longer search for the peace that the world can give, but seek only "my peace," the gates of consciousness open to admit the spiritual light which becomes the life of our being and our body. Many people desire spiritual power in order to enjoy more harmonious experiences. Their purpose in seeking God usually is to enjoy more and better earthly things, to catch larger fish in their nets bigger fish, better fish. But the basis of our work is to "leave your nets," to leave this search for more and better human good and open consciousness to the spiritual realities. Then the things which come to us in the outer world are the fruits of an inward grace. Grace can only be attained by a state of inner silence, a state of inner awareness and receptivity; therefore it is necessary for us to prepare ourselves for the experience of receiving that grace. This is the whole purpose of meditation." -Joel Goldsmith, "The Art of Meditation" (Chapter 2, The Purpose) Support the show Beginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will host pre and post roll ads within the back catalogue.

Ep 209While the mind sees only boundaries, Love sees the secret way (t)here.

That thing you're fearing won't come is here. Step back and feel the bigger picture. "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of Love, and of a sound mind." -2 Timothy 1:7 I Love you, Nik Join our Mantra Chanting Challenge! Starts tomorrow! "While the mind sees only boundaries, Love sees the secret way there." -Rumi "To heal is to touch with Love that which was previously touched by fear." -Stephen Levine "One of the Hebrew words for "humble" is ani. It means "circumstantial humility." It's used in the Old Testament when someone suffers or has been afflicted. They find themselves in a lowly position physically, materially and socially. Ani often leads to anav, another Hebrew word, which relates to humble character. Over and over in the Old Testament, God shares how He cares for the humble. He guides the anav, as Psalm 25:9 says: "He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way". He crowns the anav with victory. (Psalm 149:4) He encourages the anav. (Psalm 34:2) The reward? The anav inherit the land. (Psalm 37:11) Pastor Dave Adamson writes, "The Hebrew word 'avanah' is translated as 'humility: But an expanded translation would be to occupy our God-given space. Humility is not just avoiding overstepping our boundaries, but it's also being sure we step into them!' According to Adamson, an expanded translation of "humility" is "to occupy our God-given space." When the assigned space God has given us feels too large and we feel too small, we are forgetting that the Creator God assigned us there. No space is too large for Him, and no assignment is too hard." -Heather Macfayden @dontmomalone via @Proverbs31ministries Support the show Beginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will host pre and post roll ads within the back catalogue.

I Love you, Nik [email protected] Today's Quotes: "Regard the sensations of life as an endless parade. You are Awareness seated at the reviewing stand, and the parade of sensations, actions, and thoughts is passing before you. This perspective will keep you from getting caught up in any particular entry..." -Bob Pilato "The finest emotion of which we are capable of is the mystic emotion... here in lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear, is a dead man... This knowledge, this feeling... this is the core of the true religious sentiment. In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself among profoundly religious men." -Albert Einstein via The Supreme Awakening I (highly recommended book of awakening stories by Craig Pearson, PhD) "Mystic comes from the Greek word 'to close'; your eyes, your ears, presumably to dive within and experience the 'germ of all art and true science'." -Craig Pearson, The Supreme Awakening "It takes a special kind of commitment to do what you're doing. To commit to the growth of your mind, the health of your body, the expansion of your soul, and the fruition of your purpose. One step at a time because that next step may be the one that helps you round the corner on something big in your life. At times it's hard to keep the momentum, but you always seem to find a way to get it going. No matter what. And that's where progress lies.

Ep 344Spend All of Your Time With God, and God Will Take Care of You #GMweekends

bonus

You spend time with God by listening. Think of that image of Dolores from Disney's 'Encanto', with her hand up to her ear. That. Just listening. This listening is continuous, that's mediation. When you're listening you're not thinking, that's meditation. And then in the quiet listening, Love is felt. You hear God's silence, and then you feel God's Love. You're gifted His Peace, and then you notice that that too, is continuous! No matter what comes (or goes), this Peace stands. All you have to do is remember to listen for the feeling of Peace, and then that Peace dissolves everything that isn't Peace... help comes, because God is. I Love you, Nik [email protected] Today's Quotes: "...continuous reaching toward the center of our being, will eventually result in the experience of the Christ. In that moment, we discover the mystery of spiritual living: We do not have to take thought for what we shall eat, what we shall drink, or wherewithal we shall be clothed; we do not have to plan; we do not have to struggle. only Christ can live our life for us, and we meet the Christ within ourselves in meditation. The degree to which we attain the experience or activity of the Christ, the presence of the Spirit of God in us, determines the degree of individual unfoldment." -by Joel S.

You are excited for the fresh air of potential that a new day brings. A feeling inside of you seemingly kept you on a path that you needed to go through in order to get to where you are today. The love in your heart is expanding & so is everything around you." -@Moonomens Support the show Beginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will host pre and post roll ads within the back catalogue.

Ep 205Mantra Chanting Challenge ❤️

Chanting for Change Chanting to See Chanting with Love AS Love, Let's go! 4/26... or NOW ;) but we'll officially start together as One, next Wednesday! SIGN UP for the Chanting Challenge, here! Helpful links- 12 reasons you should chant "Hare Krishna" The practice that changed my life Chanting is the Fast Pass at Disney World Watch how I use my mala! When I share the recording of the Mahamantra soon, I'll share my favorite details and scriptural quotes about it in the show notes. If you have any questions about my other favorite mantras feel free to email me! And know that no matter what name of God you chant, the same One hears It! All messages reach the same address! I Love you, Nik [email protected] "Don't consider chanting the name to be a mere practice. The Name itself is God." -Muktananda "Ram's form left this world, Krishna's form left this world, but the name stays. By reciting his name, everything is achieved." Shaking his head, he reiterated, "Everything is achieved." -Maharajji "Chanting is the means of attaining everything. Through chanting, you are purified on the inside. Through chanting, love arises. If love arises, it means that you have attained God, because God's true nature is love. You sing His name so that love will arise. No good deed can equal chanting. Tulsidas said that by chanting the Name of God everything becomes pure and auspicious." -Muktananda "From the fruits of his mouth a man fills his stomach, And from the fruits of his lips he will fill himself to the full. Life and death are in the hand of a tongue, And those who rule over it will eat the fruits thereof." -Proverbs 18: 20-21 CHALLENGE RULES Each day (beginning 4/26): 1. Wake up an hour earlier to chant (think of it like your actual job that will pay you actual dollars) at least 12 rounds on your mala/prayer beads while hearing the words clearly. Hear the Names of God, even though your mind will be split and doing/thinking about other things. Keep bringing your attention back to the sound of the Name. That's all. Keep coming back to the Sound on your tongue and silence in your head. 2. Chant your last 4 rounds in the evening before bed. Throughout the day, allow your attention to be directed toward the mantra which will still be running in the background-- let It hangout in the foreground as you run errands, eat, drive, shower, etc. When you're home doing it formally, you can chant it just barely audibly, or loudly if you choose, but while out, you can keep it going silently within, or just allow your lips to move slightly with no sound. And that's it! We're starting with a week so you can 'try it on', but if you keep it up for at least 6 months, you'll drastically change your entire life for the better!

Breathe. Relax. Smile. You're in the Presence of God. In fact, the only Presence is God. That silent sense of here-ness, now-ness, me-ness is Him-ness, but you're claiming It. Your mind is saying this is 'me', but It's Love, and It's everywhere. It's all that is, appearing as all that isn't, wordlessly assuring you- I Am (is) always giving you everything right Now, you just have a limited capacity to receive.

Contemplatives do not create silence, for silence is already given to us it is our birthright as children of a loving God. To enter mystical silence involves not doing something, but doing less- less attachment to the chatter within, the endless commentary spun by the thinking mind.Between and beneath all our thoughts, our daydreams, our interior imagination, rests vast, open, limitless silence. It's always there. We simply need to learn to notice the silence, and in noticing it, to touch it. To touch that silence is to enter the presence of God. -Carl Mccolman, The Little Book of Christian Mysticism 'The Only Presence Is God' -Joel goldsmith Rumi was once asked, "Isn't it strange that you talk so much about silence?" He answered, "The radiant one inside me has never said a word.' "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD.

Ep 336The More you Practice THIS, The More Your Life Changes #GMweekends

bonus

In the Adi Lila, Krishna said, "cleanse and decorate your body because you consider it Mine." Not yours. I consider that 'Love is here, and only Love is here', and where Nikki seems to be here, that's the illusion. And it's only an illusion because one day, Nikki won't be here. But 'I' still will be, because 'I' can't go anywhere. 'I' didn't come here, so 'I' can't leave here. 'I Am' what is known as 'Here'. Hereness is Me. That's what you have to consider. That's what you have to practice. Everything has to remind you of That. Everything has to be your mirror. Everything has to be God. There's no room for anything else. No room for imperfections. Today you're going to look out and see imperfections. Your thoughts are going to inform you of many. And your work is to stay woke enough to hear every report of an imperfection, to see every seeming imperfection, and to hear Go(o)d where it appears to be. To feel Go(o)d where it appears to be. It's that simple. You see the imperfection and you know God. You feel THIS (Love) that you're feeling right now, while you're looking at it, and then what you're looking at changes. Even if you can't detect it in that moment, it has changed. Your gaze is healing this world. Because your gaze is silent. Because your gaze is steady. Because your gaze is God's.

I AM the dimension where all karmic law is broken, shattered, never to raise its head again. Where I AM, even in the midst of the appearance of war, there is peace; in the midst of the appearance of lack there is abundance. Where I AM, there is no depression. Where I AM, there are no broken bones. Where I AM, there are no germs. Where I AM there is no death, because I AM Life Itself. Such a realm has existed before Time was invented by the mind of man. We are walking in a realm, a realm called I, a realm of Spirit which man calls God and this Spiritual Realm is waiting patiently, just beyond the periphery of every man's consciousness, waiting for him to expand, to open up. And that's the meaning of Rebirth. As your consciousness expands to become aware of this invisible kingdom around you, it enters into your consciousness; and its name is I. It is infinite. It is present. I stand here NOW, the perfect invisible Kingdom, waiting for anyone who has the vision, the understanding, the courage, the desire to serve truth instead of concept. And so we open up. We open out a way for that imprisoned splendor. And when you do, then you receive your signs very quickly, for I AM quick, sharp, powerful. The moment you turn to I, I rushes to you.

Ep 199You still don't know Me.

You read about Me. You share about Me. Sometimes you even believe in Me, but you still don't trust Me. What you call faith is often just distraction, from the appearances, with other appearances. True Faith is when you face the problem, the appearance, and all you see is My Face, all you hear is My Voice, all you feel is My Promise. That's the difference between yesterday and today- LOVE, sustained. "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His Love endures forever." -Psalm 136:1 ******** Today's Practice: Instead of Where's Waldo, keep asking, 'where's Jesus'? Where's the Christ?

Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, That I always may be holy." -St. Augustine "When the Lord God, the Holy Spirit, visits us [he says] and comes to us in the fuliness of his ineffable goodness, then we have to stop praying and refrain from prayer itself.

For example, the Kena Upanishad points out that, "thorough the Self one gains strength" (atmana vindate viryam). The Sanskrit word for strength is viryam, which also means 'vitality', or 'energy'. When the Self is realized through direct experience, the individual enjoys a state of contentment in which desires are no longer experienced as unfulfilled needs that cling to the heart. Then whatever the individual might require for the maintenance of life will be produced through the creative power of his or her own nature. The Mundaka Upanishad explains how desires are fulfilled in an effortless manner for one who knows the self: 'Whatever world a man of purified nature sees clearly in his mind, and whatever desires he desires, that world and those desires he wins. He who knows Brahman dwelling in the secret place, in the field of the transcendent, wins all desires together with Brahman, the all-knowing.' The Katha Upanishad expresses the same idea: 'This imperishable indeed is Brahman. This imperishable indeed is the Supreme.

You're getting excited about It, but your mind is telling you that It can't happen, that It won't happen, but It has happened, and all I ask is that you trust in Me. In every step, you trust. And I don't need to hear the words from you, just feel the Word, "I trust in You", in response to every thought, "but I trust in You." My Name is a feeling- a Holy Relaxing. A seeing-through.

Ep 192Your Hustle Has Finally Met Your Peace

This is what It sounds like when hustle meets Flow, when drive meets Destiny. When you encounter Him, you'll remember that You've already achieved It, that It's done, and you'll watch it play out into Eternity, now. Love. Serve. Celebrate. But Love must come first. And must remain 'ON' in Service, because there's no Celebration without It.

I am the Voice whose sound is manifold and the Word whose appearance is multiple. I am the utterance of My Name." -The Thunder, Nag Hammadi Libray "You're at a point in your life where you're hustling towards your goals more than you ever have before, and at the same time, you're more at peace than you've ever been before. Part of the reason is because you know that it's different this time around. You know that this is it. You're going to create the life you've intended for yourself once and for all. Everything feels right. Your hustle has finally met your peace. Two powerful parts of you that aren't accustomed to working together." -@SourceMessages via IG "But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." -Matthew 6:6 "Stay open and quiet, that is all.

Show the world that God's creative principle works in you." -Yogananda "God is not worried, so neither am I." -Taylor Cage "Live moment to moment, trusting the whole existence as the birds are trusting it, as the tree are trusting it.

Ep 342There Are Places You Haven't Been Where You Already Belong #GMFaves

bonus

You are both in that place, and you're not. You're both the seed, and the oak tree. You're both the bud, and the rose in full bloom. You're both you, and God. Walk in your power by noticing what's NOT walking while that body appears to be. Stillness. Be That. Be (T)here. Consciously, always.

Ep 191The Holy Shelter is in the Holy Name

"Only Christ is real." Your ego can't hear this, but You can. Your ego won't chant, but He does, in you, as You, creating the success you've been seeking, the success that's yours, that only 'time' is separating. So perk up and focus on the Light. Focus on the Silence. Smile, and hear the revealed Names, the powerful mantras, like the ones that have often sounded here-- "Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare" -The Mahamantra (listen to this episode, and then listen to my favorite version of the Mahamantra- starts at 3:14 but LOVE the vibe of the whole track) "Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me, a sinner." -The Jesus Prayer (read this book) "Ram Ram Ram Ram" -Japa of Ram (which means transcendent Light/Love/Mercy, read this page, and hear Maharajji chant) "Only Love is here." "Let me be an instrument of Peace." -from St. Francis' prayer "Not good human hood, not bad human hood, invisible Christhood." -Joel Goldsmith "I am Loving Awareness" -Ram Dass (read this book) I Love you, Nik [email protected] p.s. all the Names are calling the One God. One God, many Names. One Sun rising in many places. ___________________________________ Today's Quotes- "O Arjuna, I am seated in everyone’s heart, and from Me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness." -Sri Krishna "Whatever doubts come, however frightening they are, know they are the creation of your mind. Only the Light is real. It is difficult for the ego to accept this" -Mother Meera "From where we're watching, we're One." -@daytohaveaday "The holy shelter is in the holy name." -People of Faith "There is no misery or suffering that cannot be gotten rid of. Have you ever seen a cloud that never moves and stays in one place permanently? It is impossible. In the same way, your misery and suffering are like clouds. Some clouds disappear in an instant, while some take a little longer to go away. But they do pass away and that is inevitable." -Sri Sri Ravi Shankar "If instead we strive for what is permanent, made of spirit, we will attain a lasting happiness." [email protected] "Then the supreme itself will enter into your open heart and sit down there permanently because it is already there." -Papaji "If you're feeling low, remember this › › Your circumstances are not permanent. Your hardships are not permanent. Your feelings are not permanent. Your emotions are not permanent. Have patience, this too shall pass." -@officialgaurangadas "W Support the show Beginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will host pre and post roll ads within the back catalogue.

Ep 336All You Have to Do Is Say, "Yes". #GMfaves

bonus

“For God's sake, don't postpone your yes! Give up . . . and become the giver!” -Rumi You're giving yourself this experience right now, this one of felt-faith, of felt-Love, of remembrance of who you truly are. As you read these words, you're relaxing your shoulders. You're feeling the weight of your phone in your hand, you're feeling your inner 'yes'. When you feel, 'yes', for life, no matter how It's showing up, It'll start showing up, and showing out! It'll finally start giving what it was supposed to have gave. Trust It. Trust your Self. Smile.
