Spiritual Awakening: Take A Chance And Dance!!!
For those that know me and have seen me at events you know my spontaneous break dancing and sometimes doing a roundoff just because the spirit moves me. I have had mixed reactions when I do this some get it and join in and and help to shift the energy in the room while others gasp and say that is inappropriate. This is the issue people are so caught up in what other people will think that they do not do what spirit moves them to to do. My thoughts during the spiritual awakening process have been if you aren’t going to support my efforts or book me to emcee or speak at an event because of my doing a roundoff or break dancing at age 49 then that is your issue not mine. All throughout the scriptures we are told to dance in praise and honor of the lord. In taking action to dance and to share joy with others you open up your heart for GOD to come in and provide joy to you.
In every culture across the globe dance plays a major role in the development of a oneness consciousness where we connect with and honor GOD. Praise dances do not have to be reserved just for church on Sunday. If you are moved to dance then dance and give thanks to GOD for the ability to express joy and happiness through dance. I remember being at an event collecting donations for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life and I broke out in dance and then took the microphone and passed the hat and as a result collected $70. It was at that moment that I realized that if you use your GOD given talents for good that good things happen.
This song has become an anthem of mine as I continue to walk my spiritual path. I know that when I dance to praise and honor GOD that good things happen. I will find myself listening to christian radio and when certain songs come on my mood shifts and positive things happen when I leave the car. For example this week I went to a food Truck Round Up and I said my praise prayer and did a small praise dance before collecting donations for Relay For Life and in a matter of two hours I collected $45. The next day I was at WRPBiTV taping segments for my TV Show, The Anything Bucket, which airs on www.wrpbitv.com on Tuesday at 6:30 PM EDT and one of my guests donated $20 to Relay For Life and also bought the clip of their appearance on my show. It is when we seek and praise GOD that he honors us and supports our efforts to be of value and service. It only takes 45 seconds to make a positive shift and you can create joy and thus connect with you inner divinity while stepping into your power and unleashing your greatness into the world.
As long as you are dancing and sing in praise of the lord no one can ever steal your joy. When you wake up in the morning and you commit to being joyful in all you do you set the tome for the day to unfold in a positive way. There will be trials and tribulations as the enemy tries to usurp our happiness but when you dance unto the lord you defeat the enemy. When I wake up I do a gratitude dance and I recite this is the day the lord hath made be glad and rejoice in it. I then go over an play uplifting music, light incense, and thank GOD for watching over me and guiding me. I have found myself dancing up to The Starbucks counter to place an order and people looking at me in a different way as they are not used to seeing people in a positive and happy state. I just continue to walk my path and shine my light and those who are meant to join me on the path come along. When we remove the worry about what others may think and dance unto the lord we create opportunities to enhance our personal and professional lives while improving the lives of others.
For those who frequent this blog often you know of my service in The Philippines with The U.S. Peace Corps.One of my favorite things about my service was going to church with my host family and the fellowship afterward. They would all comment Sir Jonathan you dance so good. My answer it is not me it is the holy spirit moving me. Stay Positive!!! Namaste!!!
