Spiritual Awakening: Living in Joy!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Living In Joy!!!

  Upon my spiritual awakening I learned that to live in joy one must express joy in all they do. Today in what was a great show of giving at The Kids of Love Mix and Mingle Event when Caleb, a child who is deaf and also has a lung disease and must eat through a  feeding tube was given a framed Miami Heat Championship poster many realized what living in joy was all about. This led to many of the attendees discussing what really mattered in life and that was living in joy and bringing joy to others.  Caleb was full of life and vibrant as he helped everyone, when someone dropped their cards he quickly picked them up and handed them to them. Caleb was able to read lips and when I gave him a thumbs up he gave me a thumbs up back. Seeing this joy propelled me through the day and will be drawn on when I seek to be re-centered and grounded. Caleb’s love of life was contagious and for a few minutes those in attendance forgot about business and profits and got in touch with their spirituality and divinity.  One of those in attendance mentioned how her church could help Kids of Love, www.kidsoflove.org. We spoke of divinity and what really matters at the end of the day is knowing you were of service and value and brought joy to your life and the lives of others.

Spiritual Awakening: Tools For Living In Joy!!!

 Beethoven’s Ode To Joy is a great song to use as a tool for living in joy. Put it on and sit quietly with you eyes closed and think about that which has brought you joy. Then as you open your eyes write down three things you will do during the day to bring joy into the lives of others.

Spiritual Awakening: The Sounds Of Silence!!!

Spiritual Awakening: The Sounds of Silence!!!!

  When I saw Susy Foltz’s post on face book about the word listen having the same letters as silence I immediately thought of The Simon and Garfunkel song, Sounds and Silence and that inspired me to write this post as our answers are found in silence. When was the last time to shut everything off and sat in silence just listening to the surroundings around you?  It is when we shut off the exterior things in our life that we are able to find the answers in our own interior. No outside source can provide you the depth that you are seeking that comes from the divinity that you hold inside yourself. It is when you set aside what I call me time to meditate and breathe that you can sort all types of issues out and become centered and grounded while you continue to focus on the purpose you have discovered you have through your spiritual awakening.

 After a seminar I taught today (6/11/13) a few participants asked me what I do to get centered and balanced and I showed them that I stand with my feet at shoulder width, my hands open and I say “I am a focused, strong, driven divine child of GOD who releases that which does not serve him.” and then I simply breathe and repeat that phrase. They tried it and said wow what a great tool to have. This tool came to me through source when I asked for something to help me deal with tough situations. It came to me in a silent moment of seeking. Imagine if you did this before each interaction you were going to have how your results might change.  Today make it a point to find a place to hear the sounds of silence.

Spritual Awakening: Finding Good Vibrations!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Finding Good Vibrations!!!

 

 Today’s blog entry was inspired by The Beach Boys song Good Vibrations as I began to explore the fact that we are all energy and we vibrate at different levels however when the resonance is matched we tend to have a positive experience.  Many times it is important to step back and ask am I resonating with this person, are our frequencies in sync, is this interaction serving me in a positive way? If the answer is no then you have two choices change your vibration and make a shift or walk away and come back when the interaction will be more positive. Many time it is as simple as deciding to give off good vibrations. When you give off good vibrations you tend to attract others who give off good vibrations and thus you enhance your personal and professional life.  In many cases you set in motion the type of interaction that you will have simply by the energy that you bring to the situation.

Spiritual Awakening: Tools To Finding Good Vibrations!!!!

It only takes 45 seconds to change your emotional state. One tool that I like to use is music. Some of the songs that I use to shift into the positive and find good vibrations are:

Spiritual Awakening: Let The Sunshine In

 The following guest post by Antiqua Libbey made me think of this song by The 5th Dimension, Aquarius thus I wanted to use it here to help set the mode for you while reading the post.

Brighten Up Your Life with a Little Sunshine!

by Antiqua Libbey

 Living in Alaska sounds cool to most people, but it’s challenging surviving during the dark winters. When the first rays of sun hit my face a thankful smile comes across my face; immediately I feel a sense of relief pour into my body. Standing in the sun beam my breath deepens into my belly and as I open my eyes  I experience a whole new view of life.  The dark days of winter are over and the sunshine is welcoming me out into the world again.

Spiritual Awakening: More Than A Feeling!!!

Spiritual Awakening: More Than A Feeling!!!

 Today’s blog entry was inspired by a song that I hold as one of my anthems Boston’s More Than Feeling reminds us to rise above all expectations and to take action on our feelings. Through our spiritual awakening we are able to move forward in a positive direction of our goals and exceed them.  What feelings are you having and taking a positive action on?

 The Black Eyed Peas paid tribute to Oprah with their song I’ve Got A Feeling. As I listen to this song it reminds me that we have a power to make everything good simple by getting centered and grounded and bringing the right energy and vibration to the situation.  It is when we bring the proper energy to our calling that we have a great day or night. By allowing our feelings to come alive we can help our community realize dreams by keeping our emotions positive and thus creating fellowship and thus becoming of service and value.

Spiritual Awakening: Chicago Inspires A New Beginning

Spiritual Awakening: Chicago Inspires A New Beginning!!!

As I sat and thought about what to write about today all the messages pointed to the idea of beginnings. As I listened to the song by Chicago, Beginnings I began to realize that each day gives us a new beginning and that each day we have 24 hours to make a positive impact on our life and on the lives of others. I then began to ask the question what is it that you have been meaning to begin but haven’t due to excuses or the fear of what others may say or think about it?  I then began to ask what is it that is holding you back? Then I found this quote by Lao Tzu,

 and immediately thought it is time to take that first step and watch things unfold. What might be holding you back from taking that first step is it fear? I found this video and I hope it inspires you to put your fear aside and to step into your greatness and to shine your light as it is only the beginning:

Is your new beginning being stymied by the idea that you lack funds to put it into action. I found the following affirmation video about money and I hope it assists you in creating your new beginning.

Spiritual Awakening: Put A Little Love In Your Heart!!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Put A Little Love in Your Heart!!!!!

 

        

 

Everytime I watch Scrooged with Bill Murray  and the song Put A Little Love In Your Heart plays at the end my heart fills with joy as I reflect on the importance of showing love and make a positive change in the world by being a loving and caring person. The first step to enlightenment is to love yourself and to recveognizr that you are a divine child of GOD. When you look in the mirror and you start to say I am a loving, caring, compassionate person that shows love and shine my light brightly finding success in all I do you begin the process of putting a little love in your heart. By helping others without expectations of return you put a littled love in your heart. By sharing your successes and teaching others to be successful you put a little love in your heart.  One of my favorite songs is Neil Diamonds Turn On Your Heart Light and when you turn on your heart light for the world to see you make the world a better place as you have love in your heart.

Spiritual Awakening: Hey Barack, Mitt, and Lance Tell The Truth!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Hey Barack, Mitt, and Lance Tell The Truth!!!!

          As I warched the news today and saw the story of Lance Armstrong I thought wow all the good he may have done is now tarnished because of him not telling the truth from the get go. Then I watched the political ads where Mitt and Barack continue to put each other down instead of building themselves up. I then turned off the TV and prepared for the day by writing in my gratitude journal, reading Mary Morrissey’s Miracle Minute, reading Rev. Dr. Dee Adio-Moses’ Onesness Consciousness, and reading a random verse from the bible.  As I arrived at my clubhouse I received a message to write about the importance of being truthful in everything you do and especially as you explore your spirituality.

 Think about it if Lance Armstrong would have said while I was battling cancer I found a drug that made me a better cyclist and I kept using it as I was out to be number 1 because it would mean more money and exposure instead of him denying everything. Now he has to come clean and his reputation takes a big hit  and how many people will now think twice about supporting The Livestrong Foundations.

What if Mitt and Barack laid out their plans with the best case scenerio, the worst case scenerio, and the most likely case scenerio and began speaking their truth instead of making statements and then having to back track. I believe more people would repsect the process if more truth was being told.

 When you tell the truth and you are your truth your life becomes easier as you do not have to manipulate the situation. I am reminded of a situation when I wrecked the tape deck in my mom’s car I told her exactly what happened, she was angry but we worked it out. It is owning up to your transgressions that truly allows you to evolve and become  a greater person.  Take action and step into your truth by being truthful with yourself if you are unhappy state you are unhappy and then find ways to step into your truth to be happy.  When you live in truth your burdens are eased and you will find that life becomes more joyous.

Spiritual Awakening: Angels Walk Amongst Us!!!

Spiritual Awakening:  Angels Walk Amongst Us!!!

 

 I look around and I see many heroes and angels that walk amongst us.They may not take the form that we visualize, however they are amongst us and working in a positive way for us. It is when we can see that everyone has sometype of angelic quality that we can relate better to everyone we meet and thus create positive interactions and shift to positive energy.  I have seen the angels in actions recently as they provided me with the opportunity to be a contributor to the book Sources of Wisdom Book 2, when I said yes without knowing where I would find the $115 and then I mentioned oit to someone and they wrote a check for $115 saying I believe in you. I am so grateful for this person and the angels that spoke through her.  I then began to realize that there are those watching over us and pointing us in the proper direction. I began to read the facebook posts by Doreen Virtue, Mariane Williamson, Guy Finley,Depak Chopra, Wayne Dyer,  Michael Bernard Beckwith,  and many others and I began to see the messages that were being delivered and each one seemed to be directed or related to me.

Spiritual Awakening: Expand Through Community Service

Spiritual Awakening: Expand Through Community Service

As I embarked on a new project, Forest of Angels, which is a program where businesses and organizations sponsor and decorate Christmas Trees and select a charity to represent and compete for the title of Best Decorated Tree I began to think how great it is to expand personally and professionally through community service. When you visit www.forestofangels.com you will see the program and the charities that are involved. The actual event will take place at The Westfield Broward Mall in Plantation, FL from November 17 – December 24.

To Expand Your Level Of Service Visit www.forestofangels.com

As  I began to make calls to find sponsors for the trees I felt an energy expand and come over me that created a joy that then enabled me to continue my expansion. As I presented the project and began to state that the tree sponsorships are $1,250.00 I began to get more comfortable. I then realized that the more you give the more you get. It is when you take action and become awake and aware that you begin to expand and grow.

         

In working with charitable causes I have found that making the mind, body, soul connection becomes easier as you truly feel the passion for what you are doing and you begin to realize that what the mind can conceive and the hert can believe you can achieve. As you begin to see the joy you are bringing to the world by being involved in your community you begin to open up channels to receive and your life seems to be flowing better.   I ask what are you passionate about and how can you bring that passion to a community service project.
