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 w...

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.

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....

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 powe...

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. ...

“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 situat...

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 unfol...

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 'stuf...

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 feelin...

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 anxiet...

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...

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 sm...

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'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...

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 bea...

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 wor...

"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,...

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 Go...

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 eter...

CROWN CHECK. Breathe. Smile. Love's got you. Welcome back to your Self.  God is pretending to be the world, but It's still only God.  Remember this while interacting with seeming others... It's all YOU. So soften... be gentle.  It's all Go(o)d.  Only Love is Here and It's rearranging everything.  Relax into It.    "Unable to perceive the shape of you i find you all around me your presence fills my...
