I’m a viral website creator, spiritual messenger, and NAACP Image Award nominated and best selling author. I've been The Dr. Oz Show's resident beauty expert since 2013 with features in Forbes, People, Essence, Teen Vogue, Black Enterprise, and The Breakfast Club. I'm also a mother of 2, a sister, a daughter, a friend. I am you. You are me. Ten years ago, I went on a round-the-world spiritual journey from Jerusalem to Spain to India to Brazil to Africa, meditated daily for hours, read almost 600 books (from Advaita Vedanta to Bhakti Yoga to Christian Mysticism to Sikhism to Sufism), only to find Peace, Love, God inside. Now, this Love is all that's left. 186 days ago, today, I began rising before the sun, for life... for Peace... in service to Love. And Nothing is the same. Between 5 and 7am, I don’t have to be Mommy. I don’t have to be Nikki. I don’t have to be CurlyNikki. I can just... BE. And this BEing is presently manifesting as this service, this podcast, for you! Wake up with me, subscribe, and share with your friends! I'll see you on June 14th!
Beginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will host pre and post roll ads within the back catalogue.
Today's Quote: "Namaskar yourself into peace Namaskar yourself into love Namaskar yourself into union Let us put our hands together and unite the world May you unfold your being with folded hands Namaskar is the simplest form of yoga, which as we know means union. Try putting your hands together, bringing both palms together in proper alignment and looking at someone or something with loving attention. In three to five minutes, you will begin to harmonize." -Sadhguru, 'Karma' Today's Practice: Namaskar yourself into Love. Stay (t)here. Whenever you feel overwhelmed, upset, angry, or fearful today, find a place where you can be alone, and use your body like an antenna for the Divine. Bow your head, close your eyes and fold your hands in front of you. Feel the Peace that washes over you. Hear how the thoughts quiet down. Then bring that Love you found within OUT into the world. Look out at the room you're in FROM the feeling of Love. The room is appearing in the Love that you are. The room IS Love. If you aren't able to remove yourself and find somewhere private, take this posture internally. Feel into the Love inside that is (t)here, no matter what that body is doing or not doing. And then, watch what happens!!!
Today’s Quote: "Shift your attention from words to silence and you will hear.” - Nisargadatta Maharaj
Today’s Practice: Try saying and thinking nothing negative for the next 24 hours and watch your life change. Today, whenever you are met with a challenge in your external environment or even just challenging thoughts that won’t let you be great, STOP. Close your eyes, and listen within. Listen like you’re listening for a sound you can’t hear. Thoughts may come, but simply return to listening. It will seem like nothing is happening, but trust me. God is in that silence. God is that silence. That silence is Love and It’s healing your thoughts (shifting them to the positive, as a natural side effect) and your world. But you have to let It. You have to surrender to this silence, to this Love. I call it listening for the feeling of Love. Do this with me today. And watch what happens.
Today's Quote: "The Light has come. The Light has come. You are healed and you can heal. The Light has come. You are saved and you can save. You are at peace, and you bring peace with you wherever you go. Darkness and turmoil and death have disappeared. The Light has come. Today we celebrate the happy ending to your long dream of disaster. There are no dark dreams now. The Light has come. Today the time of Light begins for you and everyone. It is a new era in which a new world is born. The old one has left no trace upon it in its passing. Today we see a different world, because the Light has come. " - A Course in Miracles Today's Practice: Relax your body, feel that lightness in your Being. Be that lightness. Be Light.
Today's Quote: "Stop measuring days by degree of productivity and start experiencing them by degree of Presence. "- Unknown via IG Today's Practice: Just like air is always there to breathe, Love is always (t)here to feel... to Be. Take a conscious breath and know it as Love. Know the air as Love. Fill yourself with Love. Feel Love. Be Love.
Today's Quote: "When prayer becomes habit, miracles become your lifestyle". - Unknown Prayer is defined here not as words, but as union with Love, with the One Presence. Today's Practice: Feel Peace inside, and know It as your true Self. Know It as the Self of everyone and everything. There is only this Peace, this Love. And when you're in touch with That, conscious of It, miracles become commonplace. Relax and know that the felt Presence of God, of Love, is true prayer.
Today's Quote: "When you run alone it's called a race, but when God runs with you, it's called Grace." - Unknown Today's Practice: Recognize that all this life you've been running, hard... right next to a train that's running in the same direction. Get on it. Sit down. REST. RELAX. Take a load off. Breathe. Smile. You're being carried. Feel LOVE for this realization. Don't get off this train. Take the mantra, "I am on the train." Smile. Be. Love.
Today's Quote: "This Love is not a human love. It's not limited love. It's not changing love. But a Love so strong that it can overcome the sense of anything unlike God. A fierce Love, a Love that refuses to be submerged in the confusion of this world. A Love perhaps born of strife, of pain. An ecstasy born of agony. But It's so strong that an individual can say, 'I am that Spirit of God and no other. No one can convince me of sin. Nothing can move me out of this knowledge that I Am That I Am.' That Love pulsing through you will give you the strength." -Herb Fitch from his Mount Hood Talks Today's Practice: Rock negative thoughts away. When you're swaying in Love, the negative thoughts are seen to be unreal, even when they seem to be playing. Rock and know that only Love is (t)here. Today, whenever you get a chance, rock back and forth (left to right, right to left) and become aware of what you feel in your body. Love. Peace. Feel this Love. Be Love.
Today's Quote: "There is no other God than this sense of presence. And I Am this sense of presence. Understanding this with conviction, is the quickest way." - Nisargadatta Maharaj "Going within isn't a direction, it's a dimension." - Sadhguru Today's Practice: Return to this mantra repeatedly, today-- "I Am this Presence". There is only Presence, here. You aren't becoming aware of the 'Now', because you ARE the now. You aren't becoming aware of Presence. You ARE Presence. You aren't becoming aware of Love. You ARE Love. And this can be your lived experience, with eyes opened during the day. But you have to practice it every morning.
Today's Quote: "If God is the center of your life, no words are necessary. Your mere presence will touch hearts." - St. Vincent Depaul Today's Practice: Silently bless everyone you meet on your path. Feel Love inside while you look at people. Feel the Love that you are, where you see people. Be still and know (feel) the Kingdom of Love, where the eyes register the world. I find that holding 'others' in the Light, keeps 'me' in the Light, consciously. This Light dissolves the concepts of 'other', and 'me'... revealing the Truth that right where we appear to be, there's only this Light, shining. Only this one Light. Just One Love appearing as you, as me, as everything.
