As I reflected back on my experience as a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer in The Philippines and a very insightful trip to The Botanical Garden in La Union I realized that as we awaken spiritually we must change our scenery from time to time. I remember the day I ventured to the Botanical Garden it was extremely hot and the walk from the center of San Fernando was about 6 KM( 4 miles). I was alone but along the way I was able to stop and engage with some of the local Filipinos and they all said the same thing it is a long walk here is some tubig (water). I took the water and drank it and as I walked I realized just how lucky I was to have the opportunity to do something that showed that the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations. I arrived at The Botanical Garden and as I walked the garden grounds and saw some great sites I sat on the bench pictured here and really began to understand that if I want to things to change I had to change. As I rode in the jeepney down the mountain all I could think of was how a change of scenery can positively affect your attitude. It was at that point that I realized that sometimes all it takes is a change of scenery to change the way things are going in your life. I finished my service with the Peace Corps in February 2003 and here it is 13 1/2 years later that I find myself using this lesson to enhance my personal, professional, and spiritual life.
Where I live now we have a big lake and in some areas around the lake there are benches to sit and just enjoy being out in nature. On days when it is clear and I get off work early or have a day off I will find myself walking around the lake and then sitting on a bench and sitting in quiet reflection or talking with GOD. Sometimes I find myself speaking with my mom who was called home to GOD on July 5, 2012. When reflecting or communicating with GOD, my mom, and other angels I find myself getting a new way of looking at things. I have found that when doing this I am able to release the negative feelings that create blockages and hold me back from evolving and creating the life I want.
Sometimes it is a simple as changing where you are sitting in a Starbucks. As you change where you sit you may find a different energy or a different perspective of what you are looking at. In many cases if you are not in a pace that can be of service and value to you all you have to do is pack up and leave and let GOD help you make a change of scenery so as to be in a positive frame of mind that allows you make the mind, body, soul connection.

You don’t have to travel all the way to Disney to gain an excellent change of scenery all you have to do is tap into your imagination and connect with your inner divinity than you can take action to manifest that which you desire.
Taking 15 minutes out of your day to simply let go and let GOD through meditation is an excellent way to gain a new perspective on life and to find ways how you can be a positive influence on others.
A great tool to have is the tool you can control yourself and that is to assume a positive attitude filled with gratitude. It is when we are grateful for what we have that we begin to release positive vibrations and thus begin to attract people and things that will help in our quest to be spiritually enlightened.
Affirmations are an excellent way to change your scenery as you begin to move in a positive direction of your dreams. It is when you utilize affirmations as a tool to change the scenery that you will see that you become clearer in your vision and purpose.
As you use your tools to change the scenery and ease on down the road remember to take a moment to stop and enjoy the magnificence of what you are seeing. Don’t linger to long as you have to keep on moving so that you do not become stagnant or complacent. It is when you change the scenery that you change your life.
