Daily Devotional: GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki

What form does this inner Grace take? First, It takes form as discernment.  Then, It takes form as your best life. It sounds like Silence... the Silence you’re noticing now, as you’re reading these words, and hearing them  inside. The sound of these words, your inner voice, can’t drown out the sound of Silence. It feels like Love... the Love you feel as you smile now,  not just with your face, but...

"Acknowledging the good that is already in your life is the foundation for all abundance." -Eckhart Tolle Ceaselessly acknowledging God by feeling Love, and knowing this Love as the source of 'the good that is already in your life', is the foundation for all abundance.  Today we practice remembering that this feeling of God, our Joy is the foreground of our experience, not the background.  We eat...

Assume, just for today, that the sound of your heart beating is the presence of God with you.  That every time you stop,  listen, and feel for the heart beating, you know that God is (t)here.  You know that God is in the silence of the listening.   You know that God is beating that heart.  You know that God is that heart.  You know that God is both being ‘you’, and beyond ‘you’.  And because you k...

Let's take a moment to feel the truth of our existence, the source of our sustenance,  the peace of the One that is meditating in us.  He chants in me.  She's the Silence in you.  It's the Love we are, and It feeds us.  "I am fed from within.  Don’t change your outer way of living but inwardly know where and what Source is.  Break this attachment to the outer world.  Break the belief that you’re d...

Today we give our attention to the Unseen, the Unchanging, the Invisible, Indivisible, Silent- Love that we are.  Learning to recognize and identify as This during our quiet moments together, we'll never lose our Self in the world, again.  We practice hearing the Unseen using mantra, and seeing and feeling It using the Headless Way Method.   "The instant that you recognize the Unchanging, you are...

Knowing the Truth where we see the false, hearing the Silence over the noise, feeling Love even while fear is felt... this is how we practice being our true Self. This is the 'healing consciousness' that unfolds as the Go(o)d life.  "A spiritual healer is not a person who develops a technique of using truth to overcome error or of using treatment to overcome disease.  A spiritual healer is that st...

"What is heaven? A silent and empty mind." -Mooji "Good, God, Love are all the same thing. If the person keeps continuously thinking of any one of these, it will be enough." -Ramana Maharshi "Whatever happens to you has been waiting to happen since the beginning of time." -Marcus Aruelius "We seek to reach the goal with the ego, but the goal exists before the ego." -Ramana Maharshi  Your truest de...

You don't have to stop thinking.  You just have to feel Love. The thoughts dissolve in That.  And then the ones that come from That, are not only transparent (easy to see as thoughts) but supportive, productive, and impactful.   Attachment to this felt-Love, keeping your attention on It... with It, is the effortless and simultaneous detachment from your limiting beliefs about this world. And when...

In this moment you are deeply thankful to be able to be Love while things are rearranging,   knowing that wherever you appear to be right now, is where you need to be. That you couldn't be anywhere else.  That your blessings are unfolding.  That the miracle is here.  That the miracle can be felt before It can be seen, but that It must be felt consistently, before It can be seen... before the scene...

God isn't just on the mountaintop, He's in the valley, too, and everywhere in between, and beyond.  God's Love, It's Peace, your innermost Self, can be felt even when you're in the valley of sadness. It can be felt on the pathless-path up the mountain, and once you reach the summit, you'll find that there isn't a 'you' feeling this Love, there's only Love. Only God.  And in and AS That, you abide....

Today, every time you notice a thought about something desired, something missing... something needed, inwardly repeat- 'thank you Father, I already Am.' And then feel the shoulders relax, the face smile, the whole being relax, and melt. This 'pulls the chair out from beneath the mind' and you fall into Loving Remembrance, Joyful Realization.  You already, always have been That.  Keep feeling It,...

"I asked for better and that's why things are clearing out." -Unknown   "Faith has the power to turn A into B. But there is an important step involved: First A vanishes into nothingness and then B emerges out of it.  This step requires you to be free of all worldly knowledge, which is nothing but opinions of human race." -IG @immortaltalks  “Evil may so shape events that Caesar will occupy a palac...

What to Expect: The Enlightenment Edition "When the universe picks you, and you put on the magic glasses there's rules that go with them. You can never take them off... you never see things as they're supposed to be, you see things as they are." -Dick Gregory  "When I shut my eyes, I still see it (light) shimmering and shining, softer than soft, more tender than tender, finer than fine.  When the...

If you lie down, Love will raise you up... you will rise in Love, in Freedom, in Victory. Try meditating in corpse pose, today.  Try surrendering, today.  Try saying 'yes' to Loving Silence, today. Stop trying and do, today. Stop doing and BE, today. There's a place inside (and out) that's already surrendering, no matter the position the body is in. There's a place inside (and out) that's already...

"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." -Eckhart Tolle "The moment you are in touch with your breath, the universe pours into you." -netz.der.indra "All your problems arise because you don't stand firm within your Self." -Amma  Today's Practice: Every time you look down at your phone f...

My life depends on me being Love, because when I'm being Love, I can see through appearances, and when I can see through appearances, they change.   This is how you see yourself out of any situation you have outgrown.  Not through resistance. When the resistance comes up, immediately see through it, too!  See through every thought, through every emotion, through every person, place, and thing, to...

“Rumi says, ‘The one who brought me here must take me home.’ Who is the one who brought you here? That Grace is calling you home. Where is home, which direction is home? You and home are the same thing.” -Mooji  "It is foolish to think that we will enter heaven without entering into ourselves." -St. Teresa of Avila  "Having never left the house you are looking for the way home." -Nisargadatta Maha...

"Just as a lamp in a windless place does not flicker, so the disciplined mind of a yogi remains steady in meditation on the Self." -Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6:19 Self = God = Loving Awareness = What you truly are  "As the golden flame of the candle burns steadily, without flicker or wavering, so shall My Flame burn ever more in your heart. It shall burn out all dross of the mortal mind, smallness of...

"Hold on. Stay Strong. Trust God."   - @Bible_verses_kj on IG  "Grace has the ability to change anything at any time." -Ravi Shankar Breathe and go with the flow of Grace. Even if you can't see it yet, everything is new. For now, just feel the Newness, even if you can only feel 5% of It.  Trust that It's carving out a niche for you. A holy space for you to continue to grow and begin to thrive in....

"We should always be confident that this chanting is not a vibration of this material world.  It is imported from the spiritual world.  It is completely spiritual." - Narottama dasa Thakura "Only God's name is real." -Larry Brilliant   "It's all illusion except the name of the Lord." -The Ramayana   "Rams' form left this world, Krishna's form left this world, but the Name stays.  By reciting His N...

Today's Quotes: "God Disguised As a myriad of things and Playing a game Of tag Has kissed you and said, "You're it--- I mean, you're Really IT!" No It does not matter What you believe or feel For something wonderful, Major-league Wonderful Is someday going To Happen. " - Daniel Ladinsky, from 'You're It' in "The Gift, Poems by Hafiz"      "I became conscious of being (feeling) it.  I am still cons...

 Let's chant together --  "Aditya Hridyam Punyam Sarv Shatru Bena Shenam" This Sanskrit mantra is from the Ramayana and it means, "All evil vanishes from those who keep the sun in their heart." I've shared it before in passing.   In this case, 'evil' means something that distracts you from or makes you feel separate from Love.  This could be anything from thoughts, or your job, to an unhealthy rel...

How to activate a miracle? Activate felt-Love by being the witness.   Yesterday I flew out in the morning from Florida to Missouri to pick up the kiddos, with the intention of flying back to Florida on the same day.   I left at 8am and we were back by 10pm-- no delays, Go(o)d music, Go(o)d books, and cat naps all the way!  In the face of every seeming hiccup, I'd:    1.   Notice it.  2.  Close my...

Repeat, feelingly:   "I know all the power I need to live a successful life is within me. I relax my entire body. I cast all burdens on the Christ. (aka Love, Source, God, etc) I go free. I claim and feel the Peace of God flooding my mind, heart, and whole being. I know the quiet mind gets its problems solved. I am at Peace." -Unknown author The Hollow Bamboo Game   by Ram Dass A quiet mind is all...

Keep smiling at 'them', knowing that ‘they’ are not 'them', that ‘they’ are Him, and because you and the Father are one, that ‘they’ ARE you.  "If the Divine is in your favor, the whole world will be, too ." -Om Swami via The Power of the Gayatri Mantra  "Take it from me, repetition of His name makes everything possible." -Anandamayi Ma "God became man that man might become God." -Athanasius  In t...
