Daily Devotional: GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki

Nigerian Gospel phenomenon Victor Thompson sits down with Nikki to discuss the now viral remix, 'This Year (Blessings)' with 4x Grammy Award-nominated artist Gunna. The key to success for him is total surrender and trust in 'the Father's will'. When asked if his music has always been about the Gospel, he says, "I can't put my sentences together...trying to express how my life is transforming witho...

If you listen closely, every time a problem comes,  every time a thought comes,  there's a smaller thought, a stiller Voice that says, 'But that's not really there, is it?' It says it about everything that isn't real. Everything that has a beginning, middle, and an end. Everything that appears to come and go-- look at it with (Y)our Single Eye,  until you can feel that voice reminding you,  "It is...

In my phone, I have a photo album that keeps my chanting practice HOT--hundreds of screenshots of quotes to keep me 'ON' and motivated to continue waking up at 5 a.m., even on sleepy days. In this episode, I share the newest quotes in my collection, the power of the Mahamantra, and my most recent experiences with It-- how I practice It and how It's felt... how It's held. Hopefully, this will inspi...

There are no steps to this,  no process. Just like when you walk into a darkened room and flip the switch. LIGHT.   I gave It to you in the beginning. What you're seeking, what you're praying for,  wishing for,  looking for, suffering from the seeming lack of. I said, let there be Light,  and (t)here was Light, now appearing as you.  Sit up and be It. Stand up and be It. I'm chanting that Feeling...

Allow everything to be just as it is right now. Which means don't think about anything right now. Begin to understand that nothing needs to be fixed,  or changed, or achieved Relax.  And notice this is how you would feel if nothing needed to be achieved,  or fixed, or changed. If everything was perfect according to your perception,  this is how you'd feel. This is how you'd be right now. Content,...

Yes, I Am stretching you, because what I have for you will require more of you, the dormant parts of you, the latent parts of you, the Love that's enfolded in you.  The more you give It, meaning, the more you feel It, the more you receive.  You are the Answer. Stretch your Love,  stretch your Faith.  Stretch yourself for Me. I love you I am you nik राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम To cl...

Even though we appear to be here in this world, we can hear what's happening at Home. We know that Home is all that's happening. His Kingdom is all that's here. Ravi Shankar said, if you run after glory, all you get is misery. But if you rest, if you're dispassionate about this world, if you love the Word more than you love the world, Glory comes to you. Smile. Breathe. Listen. I Love you, Nik राम...

Esther Hicks said, 'the way you get the missing piece, is by not focusing on the piece that's missing.' Instead of focusing on your intention, focus on the Peace you have. Focus on Love. Focus on Presence. You focus on on what you already have an abundance of,  like the Name. Every time you notice an intention , notice the Name, chant the Name of God, your chosen one, and in that moment you become...

Iyanla Vanzant joins Nikki on GoOD Mornings. She shares on her teacher, Joel Goldsmith, practicing God's presence, the real meaning of Prayer, her 'contract' with God, and the Sound of Wisdom/Love. She also reminds us that in conscious living, while engaged in conscious relationships, you can say 'no' to a behavior, while still saying 'Yes' to Divine Love.  Pray and meditate with Iyanla, HERE !  

Towards the end of this episode, I share some rare practical advice for reaching out to the seemingly unreachable people, untouchable companies, or unachievable dreams you have. You use it as a practice to remember, 'I'm sending this email to God... God is sending it to Itself over (t)here. God is calling God. It feels much less impersonal when you get a 'no' or when you get no response at all. Yo...

What's louder this morning? The Silence, or the thoughts? If your thoughts are louder, notice that by Grace, they're now turning into your Mantra. Whereas before they may have been saying, 'I am sleepy',  or, ' am worried', now they're saying, 'Yes'. Yes, or Yeshua, or Hari, or Ram, or thank you, Father. Whenever you notice thoughts are louder than Silence, from this day forward you will notice th...

“Leave aside every other thought, Just say Hari! Hari! Have faith in Him and cross the sea of the world.”- Anandamayi Ma  "Hari, Hari, Hari, Hari is the Name (of the Lord); rare are those who, as Gurmukh, obtain it."- Guru Granth Sahib (Sikh Scripture)  I sang along with Anandamayi Ma to  This Hari Bol mantra all day before the 7 peacocks found me !  mantra- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHZr81W...

What you usually do is you 'stop' letting yourself be Loved by God because you're angry, or frustrated, or stressed. You don 't have time to let God love you. You say, 'I'm too busy trying to get this done', or, 'I'm trying to get there from here...' Start noticing moments like these and close your eyes on them and say, 'Let it happen.' Let God happen. Let Love happen. Let HIM, and you rest, You w...

God is renovating His life as you, declaring "this house shall be called a House of prayer for all people..." The inner noise and discomfort you're experiencing isn't a sign that you're broken, it's a sign that GoOD things are happening. So let Love work.  You are set to do (Be) great things. It's time.  I Love you I am you Nik To claim your free gift, leave a review on Apple Podcasts, screenshot...

...and heal the man by seeing the God that's actually (t)here. Only Love is here, appearing as  Lenard sharing about his spiritual practice, his God encounters as a child and into adulthood, his healing journey, and his experience hearing the  Divine Sound Stream in meditation. Describing the Sound of Silence he says, "The Tone sounds like it's going like this... *draws a straight, horizontal line...

This is the day you see differently.  No matter what direction that body seems to looking in, no matter who it's looking at, no matter what it's looking at,  how good, how bad, how beautiful, how seemingly not beautiful, wanted, or unwanted-- only Love is (t)here. And recognizing that only Love is there, you experience more of the good, more of the beautiful, more of the blissful, more of the Ligh...

You can feel It. There's something greater for you. You are greater than 'you',  than who you think you are, than who you want to be(come). And now that you're living in that Energy, in My Spirit, as My Love, the one that you think you are will prosper.  You will be successful, now that you're successfully hearing the Silence. "Great Love can change small things into great ones, and it is only Lov...

Even when I'm chanting the Name, I'm hearing God first (and simultaneously),  I'm hearing (t)His Silence first,  I'm hearing the Real Name, first-- this Name that can't be pronounced, the Sound that is more pronounced than everything else, the One that is called the Secret Language,  (y)Our Secret Remedy.  "Listening to This Sound, the Yogi overcomes all obstacles and feels blissful." - Nada Bindu...

Exhale.  Can you soften today?  Can you slow down today?  Can you Serve without an attitude today? Your children, or your partner, your coworkers, or your boss, your pet-- can you do it without haste? Without just trying to get it over with? Can you do it like that's Me in need of Service? Can you look down at that body like, "thank You for appearing as me"? Exhale.  Posture into My Strength.  Sit...

No mistakes were made. No missteps were taken. Just stumbles, towards the Light. Groping for Me in the darkness, but it was never dark.  Your eyes were just closed.  Your mind was just full, of what never was. But now it's full of Me, telling you, 'the Path has been made straight, and you're on It.  The more you call My Name, the more yours will be called, the more yours will be known, the more yo...

Instead of avoiding or trying to cover the Silence by reaching for creature comforts today (idle chatter, unnecessary busyness, etc), reach for the Comforter in the Silence.  Sit in the big Quiet and feel for the Love inside.  Touching this place inside is the end of loneliness.  It's the end of fear.  It's the end of your perceived separation from God, from your Self.   Reach for the Comforter, a...

Can you hear the Silence, while the crying is (t)here? While the heaviness is (t)here, can you be Light? It doesn't push the heaviness away. When you wake up in the heaviness, you actually bring it closer. Because you feel safe, you can bring it closer, you can hold it, because God is holding you. And because you know God is holding you, you can finally release it. Release the fear. It's not who y...
