Your Daily Devotional: GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki

Let's tap into true rest-- the place inside that is never drained, the place inside where you are always, already at rest, and blissfully so. Excerpt from A Course in Miracles Lesson 109-- "We ask for rest today, and quietness unshaken by the world’s appearances. We ask for peace and stillness, in the midst of all the turmoil born of clashing dreams. We ask for safety and for happiness, although we seem to look on danger and on sorrow. And we have the thought that will answer our asking with what we request. “I rest in God.” This thought will bring to you the rest and quiet, peace and stillness, and the safety and the happiness you seek. “I rest in God.” This thought has power to wake the sleeping truth in you, whose vision sees beyond appearances to that same truth in everyone and everything there is. Here is the end of suffering for all the world, and everyone who ever came and yet will come to linger for a while. ⁶Here is the thought in which the Son of God is born again, to recognize himself. “I rest in God.” Completely undismayed, this thought will carry you through storms and strife, past misery and pain, past loss and death, and onward to the certainty of God. There is no suffering it cannot heal. There is no problem that it cannot solve. And no appearance but will turn to truth before the eyes of you who rest in God. This is the day of peace. You rest in God, and while the world is torn by winds of hate your rest remains completely undisturbed. Yours is the rest of truth. Appearances cannot intrude on you. You call to all to join you in your rest, and they will hear and come to you because you rest in God. They will not hear another voice than yours because you gave your voice to God, and now you rest in Him and let Him speak through you. Continue here.

Today's Quotes: "There is a Power that will light your way to health, happiness, peace, and success if you will but turn toward that Light." – Yogananda “The light of the world comes and goes, it is unstable. The Light that is eternal can never be extinguished. By this Light you behold the outer light and everything in the universe; it is only because It shines ever within you, that you can perceive the outer light. Whatever appears to you in the universe is due solely to that great Light within you, and only because the Supreme Knowledge of the essence of things lies hidden in the depths of your being is it possible for you to acquire knowledge of any kind.” – Ananadamayi Ma "The Light inside, the Love inside of us, is always present. It can't be anywhere else. God lives inside of us as who we really are. Not as "God": Some Other Thing. As who we are. Not somebody else. Not something else." - Krishna Das, Chants of a Lifetime "Waking State - Movie playing, lights off Dream State- Movie playing, lights off Deep Sleep- Movie not playing, lights off Turiya- Movie playing, lights ON Turiya is pure consciousness-- the background that underlies and pervades the three common states of consciousness (waking state, dreaming state, and dreamless deep sleep)." --'Turiya, The God State' by Santata Gamana Today's Practice: Stay aware that you're aware. Stay aware that you're in the movie theatre watching, with the lights on, so you won't be fully absorbed into the storyline. Watch the movie of your life like Michael Jackson in THIS GIF. The Light is here, and you are That. Support the show Beginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will host pre and post roll ads within the back catalogue.

Today's Quote: "Tonight, give thanks to those who have done you wrong. They have unknowingly made you strong." - Unknown "Resentments. They all have their cheap little payoff, that little inner satisfaction. Let’s not pretend that it’s not there. There is a weird, quirky pleasure when we hang on to pain. It certainly satisfies our unconscious need for the alleviation of guilt through punishment. We get to feel miserable and rotten. The question then arises, “But for how long?” - David R. Hawkins Today's Practice: Pause in the midst of a familiar train of thought about who or what is bothering you. Scan your body. Let go of the tension you find. Letting go of the tension on the inside is the healing. You'll begin to experience a constant, conscious Peace inside, and harmony outside until you see that there is no inside and outside. Only Peace. Only Harmony, Only this Love. REMEMBER: Feeling Love is the 'let go'. When you keep feeling Love, you keep letting go into Love. And when only Love is left, what appears can only be in the image of that Love. You realize life is really Go(o)d.

Today's Quotes: "Brahman is to be meditated upon as the source of all thought and life and action. He is the splendor in wealth, he is the light in the stars. He is all things. Let a man meditate upon Brahman as support, and he will be supported. Let him meditate upon Brahman as greatness, and he will be great. Let him meditate upon Brahman as mind, and he will be endowed with intellectual power. Let him meditate upon Brahman as adoration, and he will be adored. Let him worship Brahman as Brahman, and he will become Brahman." - Taittiriya Upanishad translated by Swami Prabhavananda and Frederick Manchester "Attune yourself to the active inner Guidance; the Divine Voice has the answer to every dilemma of life." - Lahiri Mahasaya Brahman definition via WIKI- The ultimate reality underlying all phenomena. Brahman connotes the highest Universal Principle, the Ultimate Reality in the universe. In major schools of Hindu philosophy, it is the material, efficient, formal and final cause of all that exists. It is the pervasive, infinite, eternal truth and bliss which does not change, yet is the cause of all changes. Today's Practice: Get into Love and feel and know It to be _______. Then wear the feeling like a cloak and don't take it off ever haha. If you keep It on, It becomes your life.

Today's Quotes: “We feel harassed physically, confused mentally, and weary for peace. This is how to relieve such a situation: The program of Yoga, Self-Analysis and meditation— a shifting of the focus of attention from the object to the subject, from the gross to the subtle, from the outer to the inner, from matter to Spirit, from multiplicity to Oneness. Go daily into deep meditation. Dive deep beneath the waves of the mind into the ocean of Being where Oneness, Peace, and prefect Harmony prevails. Gradually learn to abide there.” –Srimati Margaret Coble, ‘Self Abidance’ “The simple truth here is that your conscious attention, once focused on the inner feeling of yourself, will destroy whatever is false in that feeling. Since emotion or unhappiness is the falsehood in you (because it turns to pain) it is gradually dissolved or destroyed. What is left behind is the true—your joyous, natural, vibrant self, your happy body. This can never be annihilated because it alone is real in you.” – from Barry Long’s book ‘Only Fear Dies’ “Silence is the altar of Spirit.” -Yogananda Today's Practice: Abide in that place inside that is still, unmoving, effortlessly quiet, and Loving. Stay aware as that which isn't moving or talking when the body is moving and talking. Keep returning to the hub, to the Center. Breathe your way into the Center. Use a mala to help keep your attention in the Center instead of only in the world. Do what it takes until your attention and the Center are recognized as One.

“What if the doctor told you that you have 24 hours to live and the one thing that could save you, is that for the next 24 hours you have to get into the Kingdom and stay there? If you were told you cannot move into doubt, depression, worry, or fear for more than 5 minutes… it would be a challenge to you, but you would surely give it your best effort. If getting into Joy was a life or death situation, you would find you could do it. You would shift immediately into Gratitude.” – Lisa Natoli “Know this: When you say, ‘I’, the true meaning of ‘I’ is Joy, It is Happiness, It is Life—and It’s also the witnessing of Life.” - Mooji I love you and I'm with you in Joy!

Today’s Quotes: “Do not despair in any situation. Have faith NOT in the capacity of friends and family to help you out, but in the capacity of God. God will show you the right path.” – Pandit Shriram Sharma "You have no idea how good things actually are right now. You just haven’t reached that moment in time that the gift is revealed. In full faith believe that your beautiful destiny is unfolding on this beam of God Light you can feel. It’s coming into view in proportion that you can stay aware of It. It’s rearranging your life, dropping the ish, and replacing it with sugar, effortlessly. " -Note from my phone, Sept 2018 “Much prayer—much power. Little prayer—little power. No prayer-- …” – Toure Roberts Today’s Practice: Every time you're in the midst of needing someone to respond to you or do something for you, remember in that moment that you don't need anything but God. That remembrance is the true miracle that shows up as the seeming material one. Rest. Abide. Trust in this Love.

A DM interchange with a reader from 2018: Them:... (screenshot didn't have their original question) Me: Instead of giving attention to inner and outer circumstances, feel for the Love that's also present. Them: Wow, that's powerful Me: When I typed 'present' it autocorrected as 'preset'. That's true, too. The Love is preset. Everything else is an overlay. Today's Quotes: "You'll get your 'stuff' when you realize you are worthy of feeling good all of the time. Not some of the time. All of the time." - Abraham Hicks "When the flower blooms, the bees come uninvited." - Sri RamaKrishna Today's Practice: Remember and relax into your Preset. Relax into the Present. Relax into Love. It's easy to feel Go(o)d when you recognize that Go(o)d is what you are. Be your Self, today. And recognize that same Self in and As everyone you meet. Keep feeling Go(o)d and you'll see nothing but That all around you. Everything is new.

Keep remembering Lesson 34 from 'A Course in Miracles'-- "I could see Peace instead of this." or "I can replace my feelings of depression, anxiety, or worry (or my thoughts about work), with Peace." Then, you feel the relief that this thought points to, trusting this inner relief to take the form of outer relief. Trusting that It's all Go(o)d. Trusting that your constant returning to and feeling This, will take shape as the seeming world around you.

Today's Quotes: “You do not have to struggle to reach God, but you do have to struggle to tear away the self-created veil that hides Him from you.” -Yogananda “Don’t lose yourself in thoughts and feelings. Let them lose themselves in you.” – Rupert Spira Today’s practice is from Yogananda’s 'Man’s Eternal Quest': “Whenever you feel afraid, put your hand over your heart, next to the skin; rub from left to right, and say, "Father, I am free. Tune out this fear from my heart-radio. " Just as you tune out static on an ordinary radio, so if you continuously rub the heart from left to right, and continuously concentrate on the thought that you want to tune out fear from your heart, it will go; and the joy of God will be perceived.” When you're feeling upset, try this practice to get back to feeling Go(o)d. When you are feeling good, try this practice to increase your awareness of the all-ness of God, of Love. Tune into Love and stay on Its station. There's only Go(o)d content here!

Today's Quotes: "You have to see the invisible in order to do the impossible." - Dr. Michael Beckwith "The universe is saying: Allow me to flow through you unrestricted and you will see the greatest magic you have ever seen." - Klaus Joehle "Praying for a change in your life, well maybe it's gon' come tonight." - Kanye West Today's Practice: In your journal write, "The moment I feel Love, I Am ___________." The 'blank' is your desired reality. Trust that when you are consciously feeling Love, you are Love, and that Love will take the form of that desired reality or something even more in alignment than you can presently imagine. Don't be attached to outcomes, just trust that It will provide. It always has and It always will, and now, the process is conscious. Keep relaxing into Love, today. Keep breathing into Love, today. Allowing It to flow unrestricted, absolutely nothing is impossible, and with Love, "everything is achieved." - Neem Karoli Baba Support the show Beginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will host pre and post roll ads within the back catalogue.

Know that Love is here. Know that everything is changing. Know that It, what's meant for you, is happening! And there's nothing you or anyone can do to stop It. It's all flowing from you, and that flow sounds like silence and feels like relaxation, like Love. Step into your destiny by resting in and AS this Love. “When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety; if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it.” - Shams-i Tabrizi “There is an inmost center in us all, where truth abides in fullness;....and, to know, rather consists in opening out a way where the imprisoned splendor may escape, then in effecting entry for a light supposed to be without.” -Robert Browning Support the show Beginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will host pre and post roll ads within the back catalogue.

Todays' Quotes: “The meditation of suffering is the meditation of: I am this body, I am this story, I am these thoughts, and I am these emotions. The meditation of freedom is the meditation that lacks a meditator.” -Wu Hsin “I am not in form.”- Herb Fitch “I live without inhabiting myself.” – St. John of the Cross “Why do you stay in prison when the door Is wide open?”- Rumi “Don’t take shape”- Mooji “Worldly people go outward, but you must go inward like the tortoise, withdrawing within your shell.” – Maharajji “To be absent from the body and present with the Lord.” – 2 Corinthians 5:8 “Do not be fooled any longer. Do not believe what your eyes show you. What your ears make you hear. What your senses want you to believe. Go beyond that. It may take some effort, it may take some time. Yet you must do whatever you must do to free yourself from the pull of the world. If you are ready you will know what to do. If you are ready you will know what to do. if you are busy, busy, busy with other things then the world will grab you and make you believe this and make you believe that, put you through all kinds of experiences where you will cry and scream and get violently upset. At other times you will be happy and you will think everything is going your way. It will alternate. You will be like a yo-yo going up and down. You have within yourself the equipment necessary to transmute yourself. It comes as standard equipment at birth. It's within you. You're using it the wrong way. You're using it to externalize the world. Where what you really want to do is to dive within yourself and internalize the world, by pulling the whole universe back within yourself where it came from. You reverse the procedure. You pull back everything within yourself. It came out of yourself, it has to go back in yourself. That is salvation.”- Robert Adams Today’s Practice: Look out and inwardly recite the mantra, “I am not in form.” Know and FEEL the truth of this until you no longer need the words. Practice being conscious that you are not the body. Practice being aware of the Silent-Love inside. Because when you become aware of the Silent-Love, you are already beyond the body. You recognize that you ARE the Silent Love. You recognize that you were never trapped in that body. You were never bound. You have always, already been free. You have always, already been Love. Abide here. Practice feeling this with me, today and always. Until we see beyond days…beyond the illusion of time. Only Love is here.

Today's Quotes: "Life is this simple. We are living in a world that is absolutely transparent. And the Divine is shining through it all the time. This is not just a nice story or a fable, it is true." -Thomas Merton "Q: Who am I ? RM: The gross body which is composed of the seven humours (dhatus), I am not; the five cognitive sense organs, viz. the senses of hearing, touch, sight, taste, and smell, which apprehend their respective objects, viz. sound, touch, colour, taste, and odour, I am not; the five cognitive sense organs, viz. the organs of speech, locomotion, grasping, excretion, and procreation, which have as their respective functions speaking, moving, grasping, excreting, and enjoying, I am not; the five vital airs, prana, etc., which perform respectively the five functions of in breathing, etc., I am not; even the mind which thinks, I am not; the nescience too, which is endowed only with the residual impressions of objects, and in which there are no objects and no functioning’s, I am not. Q: If I am none of these, then who am I? RM: After negating all of the above-mentioned as ‘not this’, ‘not this’, that Awareness which alone remains - that I am. Q: What is the nature of Awareness? RM: The nature of Awareness is existence-consciousness-bliss Q: When will the realization of the Self be gained? RM: When the world which is what-is-seen has been removed, there will be realization of the Self which is the seer." - from Who Am I? Nan Yar? Teachings of Ramana Maharshi PDF "You are the Brahman in totality, nothing more. Unfortunately, you have conditioned yourself to believe that you , the Brahman are the body. Now you know that you are not the body." -Nisargadatta Maharaj "To live under Grace, you must consciously negate the laws of the world and the world's dominion over you, and by an activity of consciousness become aware of the law of God operating in your experience. ... To "pray without ceasing" is just another way of keeping your mind stayed on God and acknowledging Him in all your ways. Many passages in the Bible indicate that in proportion as you dwell "in the secret place of the most High", none of the evils of the world can come nigh your dwelling place. In spite of God's Omnipresence, a thousand can fall at your left and ten thousand at your right, but it will not come nigh the dwelling place of the person who dwells and lives consciously in the realization of God' Presence, God's Power, and God's Grace. If you are to make the transition from being a person whose life is not God-governed to one whose life is God-governed there is a price to be paid. I can tell you that for the first year or two the price is high and the way is hard. It means consciously remembering the Presence from morning to night." - Joel Goldsmith Today's Practice: Neti Neti in the style of Ramana Maharshi. Look out and recognize that everything that you think is you, is not. Everything that you think is here, that you think is truth, is not. Only this Love is you. Only this Love is real. Only this Love is here. Support the show Beginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will host pre and post roll ads within the back catalogue.

Listen to this as a reset button for your day. Recenter. Re-anchor. Turn back to Love. Let It replace you. I Serve Through You (I like to read it, 'I' or 'God' Serves Through You') "My Beloved, unless you are receptive I have no way of expressing my consciousness through you. I function through your entire being. I shall always function through you even after you lay aside the physical form. You shall raise your consciousness to the knowing that I am all Reality and great things shall be accomplished through you, My instrument. Obstacles shall fall from you as the leaves which have no further purpose fall from the trees in autumn. Dwell close by My side, rest in a new found restfulness and each step on the path shall be made clear. Thus shall I be able to express My consciousness through you and we shall truly work together and dwell together in loving service." - Eva Bell Werber, In His Presence "Be a beholder and be aware of God as being you." - Virginia Stephenson "God isn't out there somewhere, separate from you. Your eyes are His eyes, your awareness is His awareness, your sense of being, of presence, is His presence. In fact, Awareness/Presence is what God Is: pure, empty, silent awareness, capacious of all that appears, and all that appears does so in the only place it could appear, which is right Here where you are, where He is.

"You've got to be centered in God, that's your number one priority. That's all you've got to do at all times- to be centered in God and everything must come your way, it's a law. Spirit draws unto Itself. Spirit will employ you because Spirit is you. But if you're not Spirit or if you disclaim being Spirit or if you act like a human and not Spirit, how can Spirit serve?" -Herb Fitch "Your Heart knows the way. Run in that direction." - Rumi "Things that excite you are not random. They are connected to your purpose. Follow Them." - Deepak Chopra "There's so much peace in knowing that you will not miss out on what's meant for you." -unknown on IG The Kanye West song I mentioned, 'Come to Life' from Donda (track 22).

Maintaining our relationship with Divine Love, all of our human relationships will either evolve or dissolve. From a 2017 @Curlynikki IG post: When She notices Bae’s bad mood: She remembers, that at a higher level, she asked for this. She remembers that he is her spiritual practice, and therefore, she sees him as this moody-ass angel that’s forcing her into inner Peace, permanently. He’s a beacon to call her Home to the only place where there is genuine, unconditional Love-- within. She knows that he can’t provide her with Love — That is what she is, but she used to forget that and when she did, she felt cut off, separate and like a victim. Just as he can’t make her happy, he can’t make her sad. She now takes radical responsibility for her moods. In reality there are no ‘others’— just more of her Self. She knows that just as she is God appearing as _____ (your name here), he is God appearing as moody Bae. She sees him in his Perfection (in Love) even when he’s acting out, and maybe he’ll begin expressing that Perfection... or maybe he won’t be in her life anymore. Either way, her only goal is to stay woke in the dream of life at all times. She doesn’t match his low mood in hopes that she’ll guilt him into acting nice. She knows better. It’s never worked before and it won’t start working now. Instead, she finds her inner Beauty, the Presence, the real Self, and gives it her attention. In the midst of the turbulent energy of anger or resentment, Love is there, waiting to be remembered. Even if she can only feel a tiny bit of It, she’s won. #BeHerNow Bonus Quotes: "Shine the warm light of awareness on your thoughts and feelings." -Thich Nhat Hanh "In the sunlight of awareness Everything becomes sacred."- Thich Nhat Hanh Today's Practice: When your partner is actively dark clouding, become aware of the dark cloud you experience inside, in response to theirs. Notice that even though the cloud seems to be present within you, so is the Sun. Give your attention to the Sun, to Love. Be that Love. Abide as this Love. Their 'dark cloud' is only a call for you to go further into the practice. Deeper into your Self. It's a blessing in disguise. And the more you abide in Love, refusing to step off your throne for anything and anyone, the more you begin to see It reflected outwardly as healthy and fulfilling relationships. Everything is changing.

Today's Quotes: "The moment you see through the appearances of material concepts, you experience the Joy that is everywhere. You feel it within yourself. " - John Stephenson "We have to develop the divine vision which sees through the negative and positive and instantaneously becomes aware of Divine Perfection seated on every throne. This is how we bring the Light of God into this physical world, by recognizing It in the invisible. We all have that possibility, and if we are ready, we can call It our responsibility. As a bearer of the Light we have to see the Light. At first , we have to feel the Light, so we intuit the Light before we even see It. And when we see It, turns out to be different than physical Light. It is the Light of wisdom." -Herb Fitch "Dive deep into the inner Peace, not in the sea of diversity. " - The Yoga Vasistha Bonus Quote: When we come to Earth They call it a birth When we leave. they say we die. But we really don't come. and we really don't go. We just dream our lives, but why? To awaken as Bliss from all of this, Joyous that all is "I". -Ron's memories (from an Amazon review beneath a book called 'Turiya the God State) "What you have called the body does not exist in the eyes of the sage." -The Yoga Vasistha "When there is the notion of reality (permanence) in unreal phenomena, there is bondage." -The Yoga Vasistha Today's Practice: See everything as a rainbow... as temporary, impermanent, fleeting. Recognize that not even the most beautiful appearance is the source of the Joy that you truly are. Look through the appearances today, and feel Truth. Let that feeling (silent-Love) of Truth become the appearance of the miracle you've been seeking.

"Get close to Me. Get close to Me! Do what you can. Do what you have to. Do what it takes. Say a rosary. Kiss a stone. Bow to the East. Chant a chant. Swing a pendulum. Test a muscle. Or write a book. Do what it takes. Each of you has your own construction. Each of you has understood Me—created Me—in your own way. To some of you I am a man. To some of you I am a woman. To some, I am both. To some, I am neither. To some of you I am pure energy. To some, the ultimate feeling, which you call love. And some of you have no idea what I am. You simply know that I AM. And so it is. I AM. I am the wind which rustles your hair. I am the sun which warms your body. I am the rain which dances on your face. I am the smell of flowers in the air, and I am the flowers which send their fragrance upward. I am the air which carries the fragrance. I am the beginning of your first thought. I am the end of your last. I am the idea which sparked your most brilliant moment. I am the glory of its fulfillment. I am the feeling which fueled the most loving thing you ever did. I am the part of you which yearns for that feeling again and again. Whatever works for you, whatever makes it happen—whatever ritual, ceremony, demonstration, meditation, thought, song, word, or action it takes for you to “reconnect”—do this. Do this in remembrance of Me." --Excerpt from: "Conversations with God, Books 2 & 3: An Uncommon Dialogue" by Neale Donald Walsch "The game isn’t to end up a good meditator; but to end up free. The game isn’t to end up a good Buddhist; it’s to end up Buddha. The game isn’t to end up a good Christian; but to end up Christ. The game isn’t to end up loving; it’s to end up being love." - Ram Dass What are the most useful methods of the spiritual game to you? Shoot me an email ([email protected]) or a DM on IG @curlynikki!

Today's Quotes: "Under the anger, under the fear, under the despair, under the broken heartedness, there is a radiance that has never been harmed, that has never been lost, that is the Truth of who you are." -Gangaji "When you feel this Light, That is you, and everything else that you thought was you, is not you." -Herb Fitch Today's Practice: Know this Radiance as your Self, and know that "everything else that you thought was you, is not you." When you're feeling It, you're being It. Set that alarm! Keep listening for Silence, keep feeling the Love, the Light in the Silence. All you have to do is turn toward It, and stop turning away. Keep turning toward It, until the 'you' that's doing the turning is dissolved, too.

Today's Quotes: "When we plug the battery into the charger, it doesn't chatter away about how much it needs charging... it simply and quietly accepts the inflow of energy. And when we pray, Jesus is telling us, we should get into the depths of our being, and shut out the concerns of the world, and "pray to the Father in secret". As we grow in understanding of the Truth of our relationship with God, as we begin to see ourselves in the light of our divinity, prayer becomes an experience in the silent. We put the words of entreaty, of supplication, even of adoration behind us. Our heart speaks in the language of the soul. We praise God through our feeling of gratitude. We worship through our spirit of reverence. We ask for help through our receptive mind and heart. We affirm the Truth of being by meditating quietly upon it." -Eric Butterworth, excerpt from 'Discover the Power Within You: A Guide to the Unexplored Depths Within' "A true Christian is a true Hindu, and a true Hindu is a true Christian." - Swami Vivekananda Bonus Quote: “Along this path of knowledge, I find that prayer and meditation are elemental. Guidance comes from those practices. Sometimes in meditation one really tries to think of nothing. I do, anyway. I try not to have any focus or use any focus to get away from everything. I try to make myself a quiet vessel, a quiet pool where ideas can rise." - Maya Angelou Today's Practice: Today, I want you to prioritize the Silence. Make yourself the ‘quiet vessel’ and ‘get out of your own way’, so that you may hear the feeling of Love and unfold Its unique path for you.

Today's Quotes: "The Kingdom of God is spread upon the earth, and men do not see it.'* The Kingdom isn't far away. The Kingdom is right here and right now. The challenge of Jesus' message is that it constantly asks of us: Can you see it? Can you see the Kingdom right now? Right in the midst of this very moment in the midst of this very life that often seems mundane and ordinary-- can you see eternity? Have you allowed yourself and your world to be rendered transparent to the underlying divinity that shines through it? - from Adyashanti's, 'Resurrecting Jesus' *The Gospel of St. Thomas 113 "By and by your consciousness will become more and more centered in the eyes. You will just be aware; there will be no thinking. Eyes cannot think. When the whole consciousness is centered in the eyes, the mind has no energy left for thinking. There is no mind-- only the eyes exist-- so there is no thinking." - Osho Today's Practice: Take a few moments to notice that when you're not blinking, you're not thinking. And notice what you FEEL in that pause. Love. Become a transparency for that Love to shine through, for the Kingdom to reach out and through and touch others. Text someone a message of gratitude, today. Be Love, today, and remember that the Kingdom is not only where you reside, It's what you are.

"I honor that place in you, when you are in that place in you and I am in that place in me, there is only one of us." - Ram Dass "Do not be concerned about your relationships with people.

Remember, you aren't aware of the Light, you ARE the Light. :) And today we do a meditation that is a waking, moment to moment practice, to incorporate this Truth. Walk this day, as the flame that you are! Feel the inner body, the vibration of Love, and BE THAT. Don't be aware of THAT. Identify as THAT. As Osho says, you are the flame, and that body (and the world) is the aura around it. Previous practices mentioned today-- The Inner Body Practice The Diamond Light Body Meditation Today's Quote: "All spiritual practices are illusions created by illusionists to escape illusion." - Ram Dass Today's Meditation: “While waking, moving, eating, working, remember yourself as light, as if in your heart a flame is burning, and your body is nothing but the aura around the flame. Imagine it: in your heart a flame is burning, and your body is nothing but a light aura around the flame; your body is just a light around the flame. Allow it to go deep within your mind and your consciousness. Imbibe it. It will take time, but if you go on thinking about it, feeling it, imagining it, within a certain period you will be able to remember it the whole day. While awake, moving on the street, you are a flame moving. No one else will be aware of it in the beginning, but if you continue it, after three months others will also become aware. Only when others become aware can you then be at ease. Don’t say anything to anyone. Simply imagine a flame, and your body as just the aura around it—not a physical body, but an electric body, a light body. Go on doing it.” — Meditation - The First and Last Freedom: A Practical Guide to Osho Meditations Support the show Beginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will host pre and post roll ads within the back catalogue.

Stop. Smile. Breathe, boo. Were you meditating on the world or on the Word, just now? When you're feeling Love inside, hearing Silence inside, no matter what the body is up to, that's meditating on the Word. That's meditating on Love. That's hearing (feeling) God's voice. Our work is to make God's voice, this Love, louder than the world. Take a break from adulting for a minute, or 7 lol, and listen to these excerpts from Eva Bell Werber's 'Working With Me' in Journey with the Master.

Today's Quotes: "Love is the fragrance of Meditation. If you meditate deeply, sooner or later you will start feeling a tremendous Love arising in you that you have never known before-- a new quality to your being, a new door opening. You have become a new flame and now you want to share." - Osho “The key is to be in a state of permanent connectedness with your inner body - to feel it at all times. This will rapidly deepen and transform your life. The more consciousness you direct into the inner body, the higher its vibrational frequency becomes.” - Eckhart Tolle "Through the inner body you are ever one with God." - Eckhart Tolle Excerpts from Gateway of the Inner Body- "Most are unaware of the inner aliveness in the body because their attention is trapped in the mind, in thinking." "The field that is in the body, the very aliveness that is the body is a gateway to Awareness." "Someone once said God is closer to you than hands and feet. What could be closer to you than hands and feet? They are pretty close. But inside your hands and feet is even closer. The nearest that God is to you is in your body. Everyone has been asking where does God exists. God is the very life that you are. " "Without looking at it or moving it, how do I know if my right hand is still there or not?" Today's Practice: Keep some attention within your feet as you move about today. Notice the Love that's within your feet. Notice the Love that IS your feet. Remember that to feel Love is to be Love.

Today's Quotes: "When the flower blooms, the bees come uninvited." - Ramakrishna "Man is born only as a seed, not a flower. Flowering has to be achieved. One should not take it for granted." - Osho "Just as you could keep seeds in your hands forever without their bearing fruit, because they have been kept out of their native element, the ground, so you can keep yourself in sin, disease, lack, limitation, warfare, or even death, just by keeping yourself out of your native element, the invisible substance." - Joel Goldsmith, The Altitude of Prayer Today's Practice: Plant yourself in the meditative state. Root yourself in God. Bloom and flower in Love. When you practice feeling Love in every moment, that's the planting, the rooting, and the flowering. It's the being.

Today's Quote: "Trust in the Lord with all thy heart and lean not on thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy path." -Proverbs 3: 5-6 "There is nothing My Holiness cannot do. Your Holiness reverses all the laws of the world. It is beyond every restriction of time, space, distance and limits of any kind. Through your Holiness the power of God is made manifest. Through your Holiness the power of God is made available. And there is nothing the power of God cannot do. We will apply the power of your Holiness to all problems, difficulties or suffering in any form that you happen to think of, in yourself or in someone else." - A Course In Miracles, Ch 38 Today's Practice (inspired by ACIM, Ch 38): 1. Bring up a pressing or otherwise bothersome issue. 2. Feel into the following prompt, and replace the blank with your seeming issue. "In the situation involving _________ , there is nothing that My Love, this Love, cannot do." 3. Allow the words to point you back to the Love, the Truth, inside. Feel this Love.

You feel Love inside, and then trust that It will move you to say and do the right things. You trust that It will take the form of the solution.

First, I remember that it doesn't matter what the body is feeling or what the mind is thinking-- I Am Love and Love is unfolding where I Am. Then, I wait to feel this Love. And because I'm now feeling Love, I'm no longer matching the energy of the moment. I'm not generating a false or fake joy, but turning back toward the inner Light, the subtle Joy, the Love that IS. And I keep feeling the Light, holding this Love, through the situation, through the anxiety, through the worry... until it's seen that only the Light is real. The eyes see the appearance but I'm no longer judging by the appearance. I'm no longer fooled by it. I'm seeing it... but I'm feeling Love at the same time. And I know that Only Love is Here. As you move through your dark nights, it's important to remember that you aren't seeking God. You aren't seeking the Light. You don't want Freedom or happiness or Love. YOU ARE THAT. You want them because of the false perception that you think you are separate from That, from God. Freedom is the essence of who you are. Relax, recognize, and stay feeling this Truth, inside. And this Truth becomes your outer circumstances. "He is a real man who does not let go his hold on the Self-state while he is attending to whatever problems come of their own accord and without desire." - Ramana Maharshi, Padamalai pg. 250 "Self-knowledge, or knowledge of Truth is not had by resorting to teachers, scriptures, or good deeds. It is attained only by means of enquiry inspired by those who have awareness of the inner Light. One's inner Light alone is the means, naught else. When this inner Light is kept alive, it is not affected by the darkness of inertia. Whatever sorrows there may be that seem to be difficult to overcome are easily crossed over with the help of the boat of wisdom (the inner Light). He who is devoid of this wisdom is bothered even by minor difficulties. The effort and the energy that are directed by the people in worldly activities should first be directed in the gaining of this wisdom. Wisdom or the inner Light is like the legendary precious stone which bestows on its owner whatever he wishes to have." - The Yoga Vasistha Rhonda Ross' poem mentioned in this episode.

Today's Quotes: "What if you said thank you to your body instead." - Anonymous via IG “To love yourself fully, you must focus on a new dimension of You. You must focus on the presence inside of You. Take a moment and sit still. Focus on feeling the life presence inside you. As you focus on the presence within, it will begin to reveal itself to You. It is a feeling of pure love and bliss, and it is perfection. That presence is the perfection of You. That presence is the real You. As you focus on that presence, as you feel, love, and praise that presence, you will love yourself fully, quite possibly for the first time in your life. Any time you look at yourself with critical eyes, switch your focus immediately to the presence within, and its perfection will reveal itself to You. As you do this, all imperfections that have manifested in your life will dissolve, because imperfections cannot exist in the light of this presence." — The Secret by Rhonda Byrne “The absolute truth is that the ‘I’ is perfect and complete; the real ‘I’ is spiritual and can therefore never be less than perfect; it can never have any lack, limitation, or disease.” -Charles Haanel” "Behold, I make everything new." - The Bible- Revelation 21:5 My translation -- 'I', the awareness of the 'I' within you, makes everything new. You see with fresh eyes. You see with the eyes of Love. Today's Practice: Notice today which 'I' you are identified with. Are you being the body, or the Love that courses through the body? The personal ego, or the impersonal presence, "I AM"? The "I Am", this true "I", is beyond concepts of sickness and health, beyond age, beyond sex, beyond all categories. When you know by FEELING yourself to be this "I", the body you thought you were appears whole, beautiful, and radiant. You can finally look at that body and love it, because you ARE Love.

Today's Quotes: "Trade your anxiety for My Peace." - IG @Abideisprayer "If it's out of your hands, then it deserves freedom from your mind, too." - Ivan Nuru "Do not give in to your inclination to think about ghosts and apparitions. Rather keep your mind solely on God's name and meditate on Him. In the presence of His name, no other power can function. This is the Truth. Be firmly convinced of It. The moment you have recourse to God's name, you should feel that no lesser power can touch you. If at that time you are aware of any physical anxiety, be quite certain that it is merely a bodily reaction." - Ananadamayi Ma Today's 24 Hour Challenge: 1. Pick a prevalent worry/concern/desire in your life. 2. Drop it for the next 24 hours. You drop it the moment you pick up your mantra.

Rumi Quote: "Be drunk in Love, since Love is everything that exists." Get a cup of water. Set it in front of you and look lovingly at it. Hold it in the Love that you are. Look out at the water while simultaneously FEELING Love, inside. You have blessed this water with your holiness. With every sip, know that you are filling yourself with Love, drinking your way to a new life, to a new earth. History has ended. Karma is dead. Everything is changing. Only Love is here. Poem from recording- Intoxicated by Love by Rumi Because of your love I have lost my sobriety I am intoxicated by the madness of love In this fog I have become a stranger to myself I'm so drunk I've lost the way to my house In the garden I see only your face From trees and blossoms I inhale only your fragrance Drunk with the ecstasy of love I can no longer tell the difference between drunkard and drink Between Lover and Beloved Support the show Beginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will host pre and post roll ads within the back catalogue.

Today's Quotes: "This world is like a shadow. If you try to catch it, you will never be able to do so. If you turn your back towards it, it has not choice but to follow you!" -Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah "As long as you want power, you can't have it. The minute you don't want power, you'll have more than you ever dream possible." -Ram Dass "People look to time in expectation that it will eventually make them happy, but you cannot find true happiness by looking toward the future." -Eckhart Tolle The story of Joel Goldsmith's missing luggage (material vs spiritual universe) comes from 'The Thunder of Silence', Chapter 9. Today's Practice: Take a moment and explore something you're expecting (or hoping) to happen this week. Notice that with this expectation comes fear and worry about NOT getting it. Feel into that desire and drop it by feeling into Love. What's your 'missing luggage'? What's your 'tattoo'? Let it go. Love is now. Real happiness and contentment are NOW.

Then, like we always do, make it a game to stay aware of your mantra (of Love), all the way to the bathroom, all the way to the kitchen, all the way to your office, etc. Keep remembering Love until you realize that you are Love.

Today's Quotes: -"The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell. Don't go back to sleep. You must ask for what you really want. Don't go back to sleep."- Rumi -"We must begin our days with the inner reminder of our true identity. We must identify ourselves as Spirit, as Principle, as the law of Life unto our affairs. It is a very necessary thing to remember that we have no needs: We are infinite, individual spiritual consciousness embodying within ourselves the infinity of good: and therefore we are that center, that point of God- consciousness which can feed five thousand any day and every day- not by using our bank account, but by using the infinity of good pouring through us the same as it poured through Jesus. We do not meet people with the idea of what we can get or what they can do for us, but wee ego out into life as the presence of God." - The Infinite Way by Joel Goldsmith -The Sadhguru video I watched on Brahma Muhurtam(the 3:40 AM phenomenon) Today's Practice: Commit to rising a little earlier than usual tomorrow (and everyday), to sit in the presence of Love. To sit with your Self. You can engage in any spiritual practice that suits you (or none). You can journal, you can meditate, you can practice Love, you can listen for silence, you can Namaskar, sway, take Love steps, consciously smile, do Japa (that's what I do along with Love Steps)... anything you like or a combination of several! The earlier you get up, the more you time you have for yourself, for your Self, for God, for Love. Take that time. Take your power back. We can sleep when we're dead :) But wait... we don't die, because we were never born. Our bodies can and will sleep... our minds can and will sleep... but this consciousness that we are, is eternally Woke... watching, from Love, the seeming waking, sleeping, and dreaming.

When you try to focus on two things at once, your mind falls quiet. Today's Quote: "God works as bridge builders, coal miners, teachers, salesmen, lawyers, artists, ministers; and it is God, the infinite Intelligence, at the center of our being, which determine our special form of expression. To know what Its destiny is for us, we must touch this center within us in meditation." - Joel Goldsmith, The Art of Meditation Today's Practice: (comes from Frank Kinslow via the Diamond Sutras) Take your right forefinger and place it on your right thigh. Become aware of the sensations-- is it hot, cold, smooth, or rough? Can you feel your pulse in your finger? Now, take your left forefinger and place it on your left thigh. Become aware of the sensations-- is it hot, cold, smooth, or rough? Can you feel your pulse in your finger? Now try to pay attention to BOTH points of contact, your left finger touching your left thigh and your right finger touching your right thigh. And then drop down into your body. Notice the Silence that is now seemingly louder. Stay (t)here. Hear the Silence and feel the Love in the Silence. Feel the Silence AS Love. With practice, you won't need to try to pay attention to two different sensations simultaneously, you'll be able to immediately shift your attention to the Silent Love. This is meditation. This is your center. Your purpose unfolds from here.

Feel Love like your life depends on It, because your best life does! Today's Quotes: "Why not understand that your vortex is pregnant with everything that you want. Your vortex is pregnant right now with everything that you want." - Abraham Hicks Note: the vortex = the I Am = Loving Awareness "As you know, God has a way of meeting our need at every level; soon thereafter I came across a poem by Robert Browning in which he states that we should not try to open an entry for good to come into us from the without, but rather we must open out a way for the imprisoned splendor within us to escape." - Joel Goldsmith “There is an inmost center in us all, where truth abides in fullness;....and, to know, rather consists in opening out a way where the imprisoned splendor may escape, then in effecting entry for a light supposed to be without.”- Robert Browning Today's Practices: Exhale (through pursed lips) strong, heavy energy out of your system. Exhale your way back to Center, back into alignment. Remember that everything you think you want is here, present, as the feeling, 'I Am'. Stay in this knowing, keep retuning to this gentle perception... through your mantra, via the silence,, by smiling, Namaskaring, or by using your breath.

ISSA RERUN! Don't match the energy of the office or anywhere else you DON'T want to be. Recognize the room and the circumstances you're presently sitting in as the past. Which means it doesn't need YOU. You can even mentally remind yourself throughout the day, 'this is Past'. You witness these scenes while being (aka feeling) Love. You realize that they are just projections of who you used to be. And now that you're being Love, you'll begin seeing Loving projections, new episodes that match all you've come to know your Self as. BONUS: That body and mind you think is you, is also apart of the rerun episode. So if it's upset, that's OKAY! You couldn't feel any other way in this scene. That stuckness or frustration or sadness is just as much apart of the scene as the couch or lamp. But for the first time, you are watching from and AS Love.

Today's Quotes: "It is easy to bear the heat of fire and likewise, it is possible to tread the edge of the sword. But to sustain an unchanging love is a most difficult business." -Kabir "'Mind' is nothing but the absence of your presence." - Osho Today's Practice: Meditate on Love the way you usually meditate on the world... the way I talked about how I was meditating on my hair, or my feet, or a headache. We have to keep some attention on Love, constantly, no matter what we seem to be up to. So today, and everyday, before you reach for your phone, reach for Peace, reach for your mantra , reach for the inner Silence. Meditate on Love while you scroll your feed.

You will never lose anything." -Anandamayi Ma "Those who sing the praises of Him are no longer ordinary men trapped in the world." -Anon "That student onto who the Lord becomes merciful chants the Lord's name and wins the game of life." -Guru Ram Das Ji "Knowingly or unknowingly, consciously or unconsciously, in whatever state we utter His name, we acquire the merit of such utterance." - RamaKrishna "By Reciting His name, everything is achieved." -Maharajji “By the power of the Name of God, one shall come to know what one does not know. One shall see what cannot be seen. One will be able to speak what cannot be spoken. One shall meet what cannot be ordinarily met. Incalculable will be the gain of uttering the Name.” - #Tukaram “Gazing upon this world, you are fooled. It is not worth even half a shell. Only the name of the Lord of the Universe is permanent.” -Gurbani "After no great lapse of time I had the feeling that the prayer had, so to speak, by its own action passed from my lips to my heart. Further there came into my heart and precious warmth. None of these things made me feel at all cast down. It was as though they were happening to someone else and I merely watched them. The prayer brought sweetness into my heart and made me unaware of everything else." - The Way of A Pilgrim -Excerpt about Mantras from the book I've mentioned before, Polishing the Mirror (the one that sold me on the practice back in 2013) -How to use a Mala -I use Tulsi wood beads to chant, like these or these. -Interviews I've conducted on japa-Nanak NaamKrishna Das -BooksChants of a Lifetime by Krishna Das The Way of a Pilgrim The Essential Swami Ramdas Polishing the Mirror by Ram Dass -Songs featuring the Mahamantra Brindavan Hare Ram (the one I was singing before I started chanting it)Township Krishna Support the show Beginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will host pre and post roll ads within the back catalogue.

We'll call this the Go(o)d Tools collection-- recordings you can play, real-time, when you're in those stormy moments. Let Love help you find your way back to your throne, back to the Calm, back to the only Power. Remember, you're never 'upset'... you're only ever out of Peace. You're not angry or afraid, you just forgot God. But the moment you recognize that you've forgotten, you've already remembered :) So smile! This is the audio version of the notes I've written in my phone over the years- my 'break glass in case of emergency', Love notes to myself. I hope they help you as much as they've helped me. All you need is enough awareness to remember to remember to come here and hit play. And I promise that you'll find the relief you're seeking. And in that relief you'll find Love. And in that Love, solutions. Abide. Breathe. Smile. It's all Go(o)d. Always. I love you, Nik Support the show Beginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will host pre and post roll ads within the back catalogue.
