Spiritual Awakening: Spacing Out!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Spacing Out!!!

 In the spiritual awakening process we quickly learn how to manifest things as we take action to create the life that we desire. It is in learning how to make space to allow that which we desire to arrive that we grow spiritually, mentally, and emotionally.  In uncluttering our physical space of that which no longer serves us we begin to move forward in a positive direction of our goals. It is in the clearing of the physical that we are able to detach from the emotional and  make way for the spiritual. Through the cleansing of our mind, body, and soul we open new opportunities that will enhance our lives personally and professionally while we begin to be of service and value to others.  It is when we decide to space out as people describe it that we begin to not only hear the messages from GOD but we are then able to act upon those messages. It is when we find that the answers to all of our questions are kept in a sacred space that lies deep within us that we are able to expand upon our spiritual awakening and have it lead to spiritual enlightenment.

 It is when we understand our vision and look at the big picture that we are able to create space and move forward on our spiritual path to experience all that GOD has planned for us. Through out time there have always been those who were considered to be spacing out because their ideas went against what society called normal.  It was those who dared to go against the norm that shaped their lives and found bliss through their ability to space out. Many of the people we feel were spaced out were truly awakened and evolved spiritually and new what their calling was and thus changed the world as we know it today.

Spiritual Awakening: The Commitment Ceremony!!!

Spiritual Awakening: The Commitment Ceremony!!!

 

 When one uses the word commitment it has two effects on people they either face everything and rise or forget everything and run. When I began my spiritual journey I held a commitment ceremony where I committed to GOD to do everything to glorify his name. In making this commitment and staying on my spiritual path I have experienced several spiritual awakenings. The first lesson I learned is that when you take action not everyone is going to understand why you are doing what you are doing. Second they don’t need to know unless what you are doing truly resonates with them. Third that regardless of any obstacles that may get in the way you must adapt and overcome those obstacles. In making the commitment to be of service and value to others you will find that your spirituality will be enhanced. You will also find that you are more in touch with your own divinity then you thought. You will begin to experience a oneness consciousness where you feel GOD’S presence in all you do. In asking will my action glorify GOD and be of service and value to my personal and professional life and those I come in contact with you will be able to commit to those activities that are aligned with you mentally, physically, and spiritually.

When you do your commitment ceremony you will begin to see that instead if using the word try you use the words I will. A great example of this is my fundraising for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Boca Raton. When I began my fundraising and encouraging people to visit http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg1 I wrote down I Will raise $1500. As of today (6/9/2014) I have raised $2193. There were some trials and tribulations along the way as people promised to donate and didn’t honor their commitment. Instead of getting made I realized that not everyone you deal with is going to be a person of integrity and do what they say they are going to do. Instead of focusing on those that welched on their commitment I decided to honor and celebrate those who did make a donation. A big part of the spiritual awakening process is to walk your talk and deliver on what you promised and if you are challenged to honor a commitment then it is imperative to be upfront from the beginning. Those that did not honor their commitment did not hurt me they only hurt themselves as they lost an opportunity to have my support in the future. Each day during the spiritual awakening process I learn more and more about myself. I have learned that as long as I make good on my commitments and am righteous in my dealings with others then I will move forward to becoming an enlightened being.

Spiritual Awakening: Just Do Me!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Just Do Me!!!

 During my spiritual awakening I have learned that I must do me first then allow the results to fall into place as the universe and GOD intended. I have often been accused as being different and my thought process has been said to be way out there. My answer is so what it works for me. I like to look up and smile at people. This often gets a strange look as many people are not ready to be vulnerable and open as they may have been hurt in the past by doing so and thus they have closed themselves off to what can be a great interaction with others. In doing me of as some people say that is JDOGG being JDOGG I have found that my days are more peaceful, more joyous, filled with more love, and more prosperous than in the past.

 One of the anthems I have adopted in the last year is Gloria Gaynor’s, I Am What I AM.  In an effort to answer my calling and help other people excel I have suggested that they take out a piece of paper and put their name on the top surrounded by 5 dollar signs on each side, then write the statement I AM followed by 5-10 things that they perceive themselves as. My paper currently looks like this:

$$$$$ JONATHAN JDOGG LEDERMAN $$$$$

I AM:

1:  An inspiration to others through my platforms as a Radio Show and TV Show Host.

2: A Teacher

3: A Writer

4: A Fundraiser For Relay For Life

Spiritual Awakening: The Heat Is On!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: The Heat Is On!!!!

 As the final buzzer went off, The Miami Heat were victorious 117 -92 over The Indiana Pacers in Game 6 of The Eastern Conference Finals  Advancing to their 4th straight NBA Finals I kept thinking about how this relates to having a spiritual awakening. The Heat were determined to take strong action after a game five loss. Taking action is an important step in the spiritual awakening process. They saw a deficiency and rather than make excuses they took action to fix it. In the loss The Indian Pacers learn what they need to do to get past The Heat as The Heat has knocked them out of the playoffs for the last 3 years. The Pacers now know that they must make some adjustments. In the spiritual awakening process one will experience loss. In working through the loss you will grow by making adjustments that lead to victory.

 During your spiritual awakening you will become filled with fire that will fuel the energy for you to create the life that you desire. In being consumed with the fire of spirit you will be able to find clarity in purpose as you are creating a oneness consciousness with GOD that will allow you to step into your greatness and achieve the prosperity which is your birthright. As you are consumed by the fire of spirit it is imperative that you write your goals down and that you put a plan of action in place to achieve these goals. As you work toward your goals and answer your  you will find that the heat is on and GOD will continue to feed that heat so the fire is always kindled inside. There will be set back and there will be times that you may want to extinguish the fire. Do not extinguish the fire with in keep in burning because as long as there is one burning ember inside of you a flame can be turned into an inferno thus allowing for great things to happen in your personal and professional life.

 In being immersed in the fire that burns inside  you will begin to light the creative juices that will propel you forward in the positive direction of your dreams. The heat is on side of you and now is the time to turn it up and set a fire inside others. In shining your light and sharing your burning embers you effectively change the world one person at a time. In sharing positivity and being of service and value the fire spread and when the fire spreads for good everyone involved benefits.

Spiritual Awakening: Pressing On!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Pressing On!!!

 As I drove to Starbucks today (5/23/14) I was listening to Reach FM and this song was playing on the radio. I started to think since my spiritual awakening how many times I have pressed on despite the trials and tribulations that have been presented in my life. I have been asked several times JDOGG how do you keep moving forward? My answer, I become an action taker and I press on. I have come to realize during the spiritual awakening process that there are some that will, some that won’t so I say so what as there are some waiting and move on to the next person. I have discovered that I will not resonate or have a vibrational mix with everyone and that not everyone will share my passion and enthusiasm for life. The key is to be committed to pressing on and moving in a positive direction of your goals and dreams. I have discovered that as long as I shine my light and give glory to GOD that I will be able to press on and find success.

 In pressing on I have adopted this as an anthem to remind me to continue on my quest toward spiritual enlightenment. I have begun to ask myself everyone morning how I can be of service and value to others? I have made it a point to press on by being committed to make a difference in the lives of others and thus enhance my personal and professional life.  In pressing on and never giving up I have been able to experience a myriad of successes. In taking action and getting involved in the community I have seen changes being made because of people coming alive and committing to press on and stay positive. In pressing on I have had dreams come true like announcing a championship football game or emceeing a large community event.

 I was reflecting during the spiritual awakening process as I was working through releasing what a sixth grade teacher had told me 37 years ago that I wouldn’t amount to much. I shred the story how I overcame the diagnosis of a specific learning disability and the negatives associated with that diagnosis. I got my payback in 1988 when I was assigned to substitute teach at my old middle school. There I was in the teacher’s lounge when that teacher came in an I stood up and introduced myself and told her that I substituting teaching there and asked so how are you liking me know.  This story reminds me that no one can hold you back but yourself and how important it is to overcome and press on.

Spiritual Awakening: The Curved Path!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: The Curved Path!!!

 

 

Curved Brick Path It does not matter if your spiritual path is curved or if it is straight what matters is that you allow for the spiritual awakening process to take place and embrace the changes that will make you a better person as you make a mind, body, soul connection. As you become am action taker and put the excuse maker aside you will walk a path that at times will be straight and connect you from point a to point b and at times there will be a curve that may detour you. It is at times when you hit that detour that you stop and breathe and ask what direction will best serve me. Many times we walk our curved path and we come to a choice to take the path everyone else is on or to forge our own path. It is when we come to this crossroad that we must have faith in ourselves that we will make the correct choice and follow the path as GOD has intended. Through our awakening we learn that we can walk the path but the creator of our path is a higher source who will give us direction to follow through on his master plan for us. When we stop attaching outcomes to things and realize that everything on our path is in divine order just the way it is meant to be at this moment we begin to grow personally and professionally. As a result of this personal and professional growth we begin to be comfortable in shining our life and we stop worrying about what people say or think about us.

Many times our path will lead us to a labyrinth, which is a place for use to walk quietly and think about the path we are on as we seek enlightenment. In walking the labyrinth you have an opportunity to release blockages by totally surrendering to GOD and letting go. By walking the labyrinth you can create the oneness consciousness with GOD that will lead you in the direction that GOD intended for you. The labyrinth walk is a great way to reflect and release while receiving messages that will allow you to further your personal and spiritual development.  In the labyrinth you will experience a spiritual awakening that will open up your mind to receive and thus open the channels of creativity.

Spiritual Awakening: FREE Hugs For Everyone!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: FREE Hugs For Everyone!!!!

About The Author This is me with Leslie of www.feelthehugs.com. As I reflect back on all that Leslie and her sister Karen have done to spread the idea of feeling the hugs I have a warm feeling in my heart. In the spiritual awakening process I have learned just how important feeling the hugs is and thus I have created FREE HUGS FRIDAY, where I go to a specific location on a Friday afternoon with my FRRE HUGS sign and hang it in hopes that people will come over and inquire about getting a free hug. A life change can start with just a compassionate hug between people so as to recognize that we are all special and that we can all relate to one another on a cellular level through a hug.  A hug releases oxytocin  in the body which in turn send positive vibes through out the central nervous system and as a result you feel better.

As I am writing this entry I am sitting in The Starbucks and a gentleman just came over and gave me a hug as a result of seeing my sign. It was a great feeling and I said thank you . He left with a smile and seemed to have a little pep in his step.  In giving out FREE HUGS we begin to see a shift in the attitude of those around us.  I watch the reaction of some as the see my sign and I think it shocks them as they don’t expect to see someone showing love and compassion to strangers as our society has become accustomed to seeing bad things and thus have become very desensitized to the negative and programed to accept it. With FREE HUGS we can shift the consciousness of our world one hug at a time. Imagine if everyone reading this entry decided that next Friday (5/23/14) they would make a  FREE HUGS Sign and put it up in their office or at the table they were sitting at for lunch. My FREE HUGS Sign reads FREE HUGS www.the-spiritualawakening.com STAY POSITIVE FREE HUGS.  In answering the calling to be of love and positivity and giving out FREE HUGS I have found that not only am I enhancing the personal and professional lives of others I am also improving my personal and professional life.

Spiritual Awakening: Cashing In Or Cashing Out!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Cashing In Or Cashing Out!!!

 As part of the spiritual awakening process I have come to realize that it is important to taken some action and at the same time take some risks. In a casino you have two choices to cash in or cash out. Cashing in is when you exchange your money for chips or pulls  on a slot machine. Cashing out is when you turn in your chips or money won in exchange for money.  Each day in our life we have a choice to cash in or cash out by using our spiritual bank account. We can put our spiritual cash in and allow it to build or we can withdraw from our spiritual account and use it to enhance our personal and professional lives while also helping others.  It is how we use our spiritual equity that will determine our spiritual growth as we work toward making the mind, body, spirit, connection.

 Whether you are cashing in or cashing out it is important to understand that you have 525,600 minutes in the year. These minutes are deposited into your spiritual bank account each year and how you choose to use them is up to you. Each minute is an opportunity to positively impact your life and the lives of others. In a minute you can smile, share, a kind word, send a kind note of encouragement, or simply be.  In a minute life can change as someone is called home to GOD and God delivers a life. In a minute you can do something positive that changes the world for good. Sometimes it is as simple of sitting in a Starbucks writing a blog entry with an article written about your charitable endeavors with a sign that reads please donate GOD Bless and each minute looking up to acknowledge people. In that minute you just may just change someone’s outlook on the day.

Spiritual Awakening: Knowing When To Hold Them And When To Fold Them!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Knowing When To Hold Them And When To Fold Them!!!!

 

 Along our path to spiritual enlightenment we awaken spiritually by knowing what to hold onto and what to let go. In the spiritual awakening process you will want to become an action taker and decide what actions to take that will serve you and when not to do anything. In the spiritual awakening process it is important to know when to walk away from people, places, and things that are toxic to your health and well being. The hardest part is to detach from the situations that no longer serve you. So many times we hold onto to something thinking oh it will change or this time it will be different. The only way it will change is when you decide to change yourself. Sometimes walking away from the table is the best thing to do as it saves you grief and heartache and allows you to grow personally and professionally.  When you begin to come alive and understand that certain things and certain people are worth holding onto and others need to be let go that you grow mentally and spiritually. In letting things go you open up new channels that enable you to receive.

 

 In making the commitment to allow the spiritual awakening process to take place one must commit to letting go. One way to let go is to purge yourself of those materialistic things that no longer serve you. Many of the materialistic things carry emotional charges and will be hard to let go of for example that expensive watch you bought to show off as you thought it would get you respect. I say sell the watch and do something nice for yourself then look for ways to donate to community projects. It is not about the watch at all it is about being awake and using you power and prosperity in ways to enhance the lives of others. As a result your life will be enriched.

Spiritual Awakening: Practicing Peace And Patience!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Practicing Peace And Patience!!!

I am sitting in The Lou Bachrodt Cheverolet waiting area as a recall notice on my car gets taken care of when I realized that most of the customers need a copy of this book and can experience a spiritual awakening. I have been waiting since 11:30 AM and it is now 3:05 PM, instead of getting angry I am practicing peace and patience. I made a decision to work on a few things like setting up a fundraiser for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of West Boca Raton with Chuck E. Cheese as it can be done on-line and I have access to Wi-Fi. The TV is on CNN so I put on my ear buds and cancelled out the negativity. In taking a deep breathe and being patient I have been able to take action on a few things. I found a place to plug in and use my lap top and thus I have been able to set my area as sacred space and utilize my spiritual teachings to progress through the day.  In practicing peace and patience I have found that things tend to flow in a more positive direction for me.  In making peace and patience an anthem we are able to further our awakening and answer our calling while coming alive and being of service and value to others. In making a commitment to change and allowing things to flow and further understand  that the way things are and the way things should be allow us to peacefully move in the positive direction of our dreams.

When you practice peace and patience you shine your light bright and change the vibration of  the environment that you are in simply by being understanding. The other day I was out collecting donations for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of West Boca Raton when a man became angry with me and started to berate me as I walked in to his tattoo shop I simply said sir I did not come to argue with you I am simply doing something to help those affected by cancer thank you and have a nice day. I left and went about seeing other businesses. At the end of 1 hour I collected $21. I drove home all the while thinking how not getting angry changed my vibration and the way I was received because I was practicing peace and patience.  I then understood the spiritual lesson being given to me of detach from the situation as the person saying no or being mean has nothing to do with me, however the way I choose to react has everything to do with me. As we practice peace and patience more and more we begin to realize that the universe is conspiring to help us have success in all we do.
