Spiritual Awakening: Creating Your Power Source

Spiritual Awakening: Creating Your Power Source

I have had the honor and pleasure to meet Bert Oliva and interview him on my radio show, Get Motivated With Jonathan JDOGG Lederman, which is heard at www.blogtalkradio.com/thirdeyradio1 on Monday from 7-8 PM EDT. On my show we spoke about power and finding your power source and  Bert broke down the word Power into the following acronyn.

P= Passion, which when broken down is Pass I On meaning to pass yourself on and to use your knowledge to help others achieve their goals and objectives.

O= Opportunity, Look for the opportunities that are available for you to step into your power and to positively impact the lives of others remember that by helping others get what they want you will get what you want.

W= Wealth most want it but don’t know how to obtain it. One way is to pay yourself first. For example each time you earn money take 10% and put it to the me fund. Then pay your bills and meet your obligations.

E= Education, though you may have ended your formal education it is very important to educate yourself and invest inyourself be it through books, seminars, or other avenues the more you learn the more you will earn.

R= Real, be your authentic self don’t be afraid to let the world know about your flaws and how you have overcome them.let people know who you truly are. Define yourself by not letting others define you.

 Most of our power comes from our heart. From the moment we are conceived we begin to develop our inate intelligence and as we develop in the womb the brain is formed first and then the spinal cord and then all the other human elements. We come out and are immediately spanked to show that we are awake. Then something happens all the power we had in the womb is usurped as we become dependent on the outside world. We begin to explore and as we grow we learn to crawl, then we learn to walk and then we start to run. We begin to formulate our beliefs and many times we give our power away. Then one day we discover that all the power we need lies with us and we begin to discover our power source. We begin to tear down all the limiting beliefs that have held us back. Like the scene from Network we run to the window and we shout as loud as we can that I am mad as hell and I am not going to take it anymore. It is at that moment we discover our power source.

Spiritual Awakening: Ways to Discover Your Power Source

1: Stop listening to those who doubt you– I remember having on teacher tell me I would be lucky to amount to anything and another that wrote in my year book To a young man with a lot of potential if he would only use it. In 1988 I was reunited with both as I was substituting at the middle school where they both taught and that I had attended. I went up to the one who doubted me and introduced myself and said How Are you Liking me Now. I walkedup to the other and thanked him. BY letting go of the doubters and listening to the encouragers I am finding success.

2: Surround yourself with those that lift you up and inspire you– I recomend a brag wall at your home or strategically placed items that can set the tome for a positive limitless mind set. At my home I have many photos and quotes that inspire me. I look at them everyday and thus set the positive attitude in motion.

3: Stop and just breathe-  Many times take a deep breath and evaluate the situation.

4: Meditate-  Find a quiet spot wherever you may be and clear your mind and let the messages flow in and out and ask your higher self for guidance and direction.

5; Believe that greatness is your birthright- remind yourself that you are great and that greatness is something you deserve.

  

Spiritual Awakening: Affirmations and Songs To Find Your Power Source

  

  


You may be one but you are one with a great power source


The effort you make to use your power source for good makes a positive impact

Muhamad Ali, Marianne Williamson, Rocky Balboa give lessons on finding your power source.

“It’s the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.” Muhammad Ali

As you find your power source and become more awake be a shining light to those you come in contact with.

Spiritual Awakening: The Man In The Mirror

Michael Jackson’s Man In The Mirror shows the way to way to make a change and it reminds us that all change starts with us.

Spiritual Awakening: The Man In The Mirror

As the news of Donna Summer’s passing came across the wire I began to get very introspective and to take a look an the man in the mirror. Donna’s songs had mad a major impact on my childhood and today in my adulthood I find myself still moved by her music. As I reflected I began to post on facebook that people can visit http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg8265 and honor Donna with a donation to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. I also began to think what will my legacy be? Donna Summer will forever be part of our lives as her music lives on.


Donna Summer reminds us that sometimes things are one of a kind and that we will not have the recipe again. The message I share from this song is to start from scratch and see what happens.

A few days after Donna Summer passed word came in that Robin Gibb lost his battle to cancer. Again I put out the post honor Robin Gibb and anyone touched by cancer and help create a world with less cancer and more birthdays by visiting http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg8265. I then began to post songs that Robin was known for through The BEEGEES and began to take a look at myself and ask what impact am I making?

I chose this BEEGEES Song love somebody as a reminder to love yourself.

Spiritual Awakening: Loving The Man In The Mirror

In order to create a legacy and make a positive impact the first step is to love the person looking back at you. This is the most difficult step in the path as we are often told from a young age you are not good enough or you don’t have talent and through out our lives we reinforce this. Now is the time to shift your thoughts and to look at yourself as capable.  In the morning when you look  at the man in the mirror say:

1: I am loved and deserve to be loved

2: I am accomplished and continue to accomplish great things

3: I am good enough, qualified, and loved

4: I look good, I feel good, I will do good

5: I attract the people meant to be in my life

6: I attract joy and abundance easily and effortlessly

This will help you to create that auora of self love and thus enable you to be a shining light for others.

A question to ask is who do I see when I look in the mirror.

  Do see the roaring lion inside of you? It is time to let him/her loose. Remind yourself you are strrong and gifted. Stop allowing negativity to hold back your greatness. There are those who may doubt you as they don’t see the same person you see, don’t allow them any space in your head and surround yourself with caring and encouarging people.

Spiritual Awakening: Tool To Improve The Reflection of The Man In The Mirror

1.Become an action taker. As you look at that refelection tell the man in the mirror to gof for it you are capable of achieving gteatness.

2.  Play some music that you can adopt as your anthem- I like to play Janet Lee Kraft’s Album

3. Begin to write a journal and document your awakening

4. Make a wall of people you consider award winners and use them for motivation and inspiration

5. Explore your calling and take step to follow the calling and come alive

 


Peter Frampton asks us to show others the way. By finding your way and reflecting on the man in the mirror you will help others find their way.

Spiritual Awakening: The Man In The Mirror – Final Thoughts

As you look in the mirror remember  that you become what you think abouit so thing positive and highly about yourself and be a shining light for others to see.


Neil Diamond inspires us to turn on our heartlight.

As you begin to really look at the man in the mirror you will evolve and emerge as the person you wish to become.

Spiritual Awakening: Getting Stoned

Spiritual Awakening: Getting Stoned

Okay where did your mind go with this title? I am not talking about the use of marijuanna or other substances to alter your thinking, I am talking about the use of stones and crystals to further your journey on your spiritual path. I first kearned about stones and crystals from Sonia Alexandra, who you can find more information about at www.stonehealing.com.  By understanding stones ans chrystals you will be able to heal yourself and thus help to heal others.

One way to use the crystals(gemstones) is to carry them with you in a bag and each day cleanse them so as to increase their powers.

I found the following at www.old-earth.com that will help you in cleansing your stones:

Cleanse and Charge Your Gemstones and Crystals

Crystals and Gemstones Need to be Cleansed As we work with our Gemstones; either to extract electro-magnetic energies to cleanse or introduce them to build support structure; some of the residue remains. Even if someone holds the crystal to simply admire it, a trace of their field lingers. These traces are not “bad” or “evil”, just as dirt is not “bad” or “evil”. However, the energetic impulse traces will affect the stones and, therefore, an accumulation needs to be cleansed away.

Spiritual Awakening: Incense, Insight, and More!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Incense, Insight, and More

As I was getting ready to write this blog I closed my eyes and inhaled the incense and asked source what I should write about and source answered with this headline. I am alsways amazed how when I burn my incense and close everything else off that answers to my questions appear. When I tell people about the practice of buring incense many of those not on a spiritual path scoff. I take a breathe and intrnally say to myself they don’t know what they are missing. I often will draw a hot bath, light some candles, put on a mediation cd, like the one I have from Sonia Alexandra, burn the incense and clear my mind to get grounded. I also like to do this ritual using a cd my mother gave me of tribual and natural sounds.  I have also found that listening to instrumentals, tribal chants, sounds of nature will asssit with gaining insight thus contiuning on a spirtual path to personal growth and enlightenment.

There have been times when I will go to the big pool at The Sunrise Lakes Phase III Clubhouse and make a small quiet peaceful area for myself with the incense buring while I read books like Ernest Chu’s Soul Currency, Amy Hammond Hagberg’s How Do You Know He is Real, Guy Finley’s The Seeker, The Search, The Sacred, and others that are now in my library for spiritual growth.

Spiritual Awakening: The Signs of Being Awake

Spiritual Awakening: The Signs of  Being Awake

If you look at the 12 symptoms of awakening you realize that we are all evolving on our spiritual path to fufilling the goal of being aware and awake. When you wake in the morning are the first words out of your mouth Thank You GOD? An awakened person acknowledges the creation of another day to make a positive impact on their life and the lives of others. ONe sign of being awake is the shift to a position of gratitude.

 As I began my spiritual awakening I began to become more grateful for the things that I have and the opportunities that are unfolding daily. I keep a gratitude journal and am gratefulto my friend and coach, Coach Shantel Springer, who showed me tools to come from a position of gratitude.

 

 Coach Shantel Springer Helps people to take the first step to becoming awake and that is to assume a position of gratitude mand to give thanks to GOD.

After assuming the position of gratitude and practicing it everyday the next step is to find ways to love yourself so you can love others. When I get up in the morning I say I am a loving caring person who positively impacts my life and the lives of others. I then shower and get dressed and then turn on Janet Lee Kraft’s CD:  I then read The Rev. Dr. Dee Adio-Moses Oneness Consciousness, then I read Mary Morrisey’s The Miracle Minute. When I do this I feel aware and alive and ready to be a shining light to those I come in contact with.

Spiritual Awakening: Motivation Through Music

 The Newsboys song Miracles really sets the tone and exemplifes music as a motivator

Spiritual Awakening: Motivation Through Music

It only taes 45 seconds to change your vibrational energy. One great way to change you vibrational energy and to create a positive force around you is to use music. I have found songs like the one abpve can help to change a sate of mind and alleviate the negative frequencies. The use of music in your daily life as you live in the present moment will help you to create the life you desire. Music is very powerful and influential as it evokes all types of emotions.

Plato believed that music could help you to unleash your greatness by finding the hidden secrets that lie deep in your soul.

 Even The Cookie Monster knows the power of music. Sometime by shutting off the world you find yourself receiving messages that will help you change the world.

Spiritual Awakening: What is Your Calling?

 Spiritual Awakening: What Is Your Calling?

A question I am often asked is JDOGG, How do I find my calling? I answer with by seeing what is bringing you joy in your life and bringing joy to others. In finding your calling their may be challenges like the one I had this month where I took a job at a local bowling center and after 10 days was let go and told that I wasn’t meeting the owners expectations. I took this as a sign that GOD had a better plan for me. After I clocked out and told a few people the phone rang and it was another bowling center seeking a volunteer coach. I took this as God’s way of telling me that I was not meant to be behind the counter of a bowling center handing out shoes, and ringing people up for their bowling, but that I was meant to use my gift and coach and thus create joy for myself and others. Eachtime I have left a job or been asked to leave a job I have realized it is one more brick on the path to finding my calling.

 Finding your calling is an everyday path that we walk as we continue to look at how we are spending our day. One way to find your calling is to track your day and make notes about the things that you are doing and the feelings they evoke.

Spiritual Awakening: Starbucks Sharing and More

  

Spiritual Awakening: Starbucks Sharing And More

As I stopped into the Strabucks located close to Diamond Strike Lanes to prepare for my shift today I began to realize how important it is to implement the 3 foot rule, talking to people who are with in 3 feet of you and to begin to share. I had tickets for The June 2, 2012 Miami Fury Women’s Tackle Football Game when they will host The Tampa Bay Inferno and asked a gentleman if he liked football and he said yes and I told him about the game and he said his wife will love this so i gave him 4adult tickets and 4 youth tickets. We got to talking and he thanked me for the tickets. I use this story to illustrate how important it is to share with others as you never know the lives that you may touch.

 

Sharing the opportunity for people to celebrate life by participatimg in a variety of activities is a great way to spread joy through out the community.

Spiritual Awakening: Thanksgiving, Family, Friends or Another Day

Thanksgiving and Spirituality Showing Gratitude

Spirituality: Thanksgiving

This will be my first Thanksgiving without my mother, Judith Miller, as she was called home by GOD on July 5, 2012. I am honoring her and giving thanks for the years she was with us by asking people to visit http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogglederman and to make a donation. My Thanksgiving will be spent with my dad and his significant other at The Kings Buffet.

When Thanksgiving arrives and the sunrises it means turning on the tv and tuning into the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and seeing the joy on all the families gathered to celebrate this day of magic that seems to bring everyone together for the common good. For many it is a time for family and friends while for some it is just another day. After viewing the parade it is off to watch football and share time with my Dad and his significant other, Regina. I strongky believe that the elements of Thanksgiving should be shared on a daily basis. Some ways to do this are:

1: Be grateful for the roof over your head and reach out to help those who may not have this luxury

2: Use the magic words thank you when interacting with everyone

3: Write thank you notes just to acknowledge those who are enhancing your personal and professional life

4: Tak a moment simply to call a client and thank them for their support

Thanksgiving Parade Brings Joy

Spirituality: Thanksgiving Bringing Joy

Despite rain those that attended the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade enjoyed themselves. This made me think what is it that you enjoy about the parade. For me

1: The bands and the entertainers at center stage

2: The Ballons- My Favorite is still Kermit followed by Snoopy

3: The Broadcasters and The Gentlema that does the Voice Overs

There  is something magical about waking up early on Thanksgiving and watching the parade and then taking a moment to reflect of all the good that is happening. This year despite some financial challenges I am grateful for the opoortunity to spend time with my Dad and Gina. The energy of the parade and  the joy it creates is is amazing as it propels many of us to assume a position of gratitude and thus reminds us that when we come from gratitude we open ourselves up to receive and give. It is in being grateful on Thanksgiving and through out the year that we can create great things.

Snoppy is one of my favorite characters and somehow I get balanced and centered when I see him in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. On this special day of Thanksgiving may you find balance, joy, abundance, peace, love, and happiness in all that you do and may your light of spirituality shine bright on others.
