The word miracle carries a lot of weight. Miracles are those extraordinary events that defy natural laws, usually attributed to a supernatural power (like God) or divine intervention, causing wonder and amazement

We usually pray for miracles:

• When we are desperate & needy: When facing seemingly impossible situations (serious illness, financial ruin, deep personal struggles) that standard solutions can’t fix, we turn to prayer for supernatural intervention.
• When we are low on faith & trust: It’s an act of radical trust in a benevolent God, believing He is present, powerful, and willing to act on our behalf, even when circumstances seem bleak.
• When we are intentionally seeking Divine Power as a last resort, after trying several things before and nothing’s worked: to heal our bodies, mend relationships, remove obstacles, or provide strength. It’s usually when we hit rock bottom and must surrender.
• When hope is all we have: It’s our way to stay open to God’s possibilities, recognizing that His ways are mysterious and He can work in surprising, unexpected ways beyond our plans.

So generally miracles manifest as healings, deliverances, resurrections, or provision, exceeding our control and expectations.

What if we could experience mini miracles daily?

In A Year of Miracles, Marianne Williamson talks about the miracle of the present. She says…

It’s nothing more than a mental habit to idealize another time, another condition, another reality to avoid the reality of our lives RIGHT NOW.

Even though I know, it’s pointless to live in the past or in a future yet to come, I still find myself rehashing past mistakes, painful experiences, regrets, and then I berate myself for not being further along.

On my better days, I fantasize about a future, not in a visionary way, but in a pure “I don’t have to do anything to get there way”. I want my debts erased, I want to travel at the drop of a hat, I want to live in every other place but where I am at the moment.

This is not the best perspective, and in reading Marianne’s reflection I realized that in living collectively in my past and in my fantasy future, I am really avoiding the reality of my present circumstances and the miracles offered in each consecutive moment.

As I shared earlier, only in the worst times do we reach for a miracle, mostly in desperation yet what we are actually admitting to without saying it out loud is this:

Natural order and spiritual order are integrated…not either or.

If we think about it, we are all walking miracles.

The body we inhabit and take for granted serves as a powerful metaphor and a literal case study for alignment, across various fields, including biomechanics, holistic wellness, and philosophy. 

Optimal Functionality and Energy Efficiency: The physical body is a marvel of biomechanical engineering where proper alignment of joints and the spine ensures optimal function, reduces friction and wear and tear, and requires less energy for movement. Misalignment can lead to strain, chronic pain, and a host of physical ailments, which the body signals as a warning light to restore balance.

Interconnected Systems: The efficiency of all bodily systems (digestion, circulation, nervous system) is intertwined with structural alignment. For example, proper spinal alignment is vital for the optimal function of the nervous system, which communicates between the brain and the rest of the body.

Self-Healing Capacity: Maintaining alignment is a foundational aspect of health, promoting the body’s natural capacity for self-healing and resilience. (We need no more proof than this…that to expect miracles daily is not far-fetched).

The concept of the human body as a case study for “alignment” extends into abstract philosophical domains, where it often serves as a metaphor for mental, emotional, and spiritual harmony. 

Conscious Living: Achieving holistic alignment involves conscious effort in daily life, such as mindful movement, ergonomic workspaces, supportive relationships, and prioritizing basic needs like sleep and nutrition, which can lead to a sense of profound peace and purpose. 

Mind-Body-Soul Connection: The notion of aligning the mind, body, and soul suggests an interconnectedness where balance in one area is essential for the harmony of the whole.

Alignment with Existence: Some philosophical “Law of Alignment” theories posit that human suffering arises when the mind and body resist the natural rhythms of existence (accumulation and release of experiences, energy, and information). Alignment in this sense is about engaging with reality without distortion and flowing with natural cycles.

Embodied Cognition: In the philosophy of the embodied mind, abstract thought and consciousness are rooted in our physical, bodily experiences and sensorimotor systems. The body is not a container for the mind, but its “best picture,” where physical expression and internal states are inseparable.

My message today is simple:

Don’t dilute your experience by indulging thoughts that if only you were somewhere else, or some one else, things would be better. This is a prescription for pain. Paradoxically, as you fantasize you may feel that you are avoiding pain, but what you’re really doing is making it comfortable to remain as your permanent experience.

Choose the miracle of the present moment.
