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.

Spiritual Awakening: Kindness Begets Kindness

Spiritual Awakening: Kindness Begets Kindness!!!

 

 As Tony Kanaan celebrated his Indy 500 Victory yesterday a small medallion was in his pocket. This medallion was given to a young girl in a hospital years ago who was about to undergo major surgery. Tony had visited the young girl and gave her the good luck medallion and this weekend she sent it back with a note of gratitude and encouragement. As I heard this story I though wow a spiritual awakening right before everyone’s eyes teaching the principle of kindness.

 As I was watching the race I was wearing my tee shirt with this saying on it and I began to think how life becomes easier when you come from a position of kindness. www.kindnessinc.com is a website that shares many acts of kindness. www.feelthehugs.com is a great website where you can purchase items and send them to others to show your kindness.  The key is to focus on being kind and realizing that being kind is often rewarded. On Saturday as I was recuperating from having a tooth extracted, there was a knock at the door. It was my neighbor seeking help to set up her new TV. I went to help her and was able to get the TV up and running for her. I went back to my condo. There was a knock on the door and it was my neighbor with a $5 bill for me for helping her.  I have begun to journal about  how these good deeds are being repaid and how they are positively influencing my life in hopes that people will see them and realize that part of a spiritual awakening is the fact that you realize that kindness begets kindness.

Spiritual Awakening: Finding Inspiration

Spiritual Awakening: Finding Inspiration

 T This blog entry was inspired by Antiqua Libbey, who I had the privilege to interview on my radio show, Get Motivated With Jonathan JDOGG Lederman, which airs on Monday from 7-8 PM EST at www.blogtalkradio.com/hrafnstongradio. She shared her story of triumph over many adversities and gave many great tips. The one that resonated withme was that we all have divinity within us and when we connect with it we become inspired and empowered to live our life on purpose.

    

As we discussed the idea of divinity and making the mind, body, soul connection I kept thinking I need to really focus on me and take a day to create harmony on the inside and out thus I took today to do laundry, meditate, and then when I felt a harmonious feeling come over me go to my club house to write. I sat quietly for a few minutes visualizing what I was going to write and visualizing people coming to the blog and leaving comments and then I began to write. As I wrote the pains I was feeling and the negative vibrations quickly went away and the message became clear your purpose is to be a shining light to others and as a result of shining your light you will be rewarded.

Spiritual Awakening: 12/12/12 Another Day Or A Day Of Awakening?

Spiritual Awakening: 12/12/12 Another Day Or A Day Of  Awakening?

 As I awoke today I began to ponder the meaning of 12/12/12 and realized that it is another power energy day where certain portals will be made available to those who are on a spiritual path to become more enlightened and thus to continue their expansion and their quest for transformation so as to positively impact the world. Tapping into the number of positive energy fields today will help you to become an action taker where your anthem will allow you to have an awakening and to follow your calling. Today can be a great day to affect change in your personal and professional life as you begin to come alive and get involved with your community. Those reoccurring dreams and messages can now be acted upon with the confidence that you will be emotionally ballanced and the outcomes will be favorable. You feelings will be powerful and more easily understood today.One way to create more positive energy today is to engage in fellowship by sharing encouraging words with all those you come in contact with. A smile will go along way in tapping into the positive energy of today. The way you react to the flow today will help in answering the question is today just another day or is a day for awakening?

Spiritual Awakening: Healing The World With Love

Spiritual Awakening: Healing The World With Love

This post was inspired by an encounter I had on Friday 10/12/12 as I was collecting donations for The American Cancer Society Relay for Life of West Boca Raton, when I shared the reason why I was doing Relay and was told by the owner of the business I have many extra dollars but not for that. I stated you know it is upsetting that you couldn’t spare a dollar to help me honor my mother’s memory through my participation in Relay for Life. At that point a young man came to the counter very agitated yelling that that man gives more to charity than anyone else and you are offending me. I stated sorry wished him Namaste and left all the while thinking if you have to brag about your giving you are giving for the wrong reason then I remembered Jackie DeShanon’s song What The World Needs Now and started to sing that song and decided my next blog entry would be about healing the world with love.

 So let’s begin and get ourselves in a frame of mind to show love and be an expression of love in all that we do. Finding the place where there is room to grow is a very importantt aspect of our path to heal the world with love.  The growth starts within when your realize that you are a divine creation of GOD and you begin to recognize that and see that in others.  Love is something we are all capable of giving all it takes is a desire to smile and be loving in all situations.  At times this may be challenging as those you interact with may not understand the philosophy of being loving and caring in all you do or they may not be as passionate as you are in your various missions. I have often stated that when we realize the difference as to the way things should be and the way things are we can work toward the ways they should be.

Spiritual Awakening: Slow Down And Enjoy The Moment

Spiritual Awakening: Slow Down And Enjoy The Moment

 Today’s blog entry was inspired by this Simon and Garfunkel song Feeling Groovy as I began to realize how important it is to slow down and enjoy the moment. It is very importnat to be an action taker and to move forward in a positive direction with all that you, however you also must realize that there comes a time to slow down and relish the moment. Imagine finding out that you were selected to be part of a book, you write your chapter and then you wonder what is next instead of taking it in and writing in your gratitude journal that today I am grateful for the opportunity to share with others to help them excel. Many times we get so caught up in the what is next that we forget what we have done.

 It is when we are relaxed and that we take time to reflect the moments that we achieved greatness that we truly can move forward. What moments of greatness have you not had a time to celebrate as you kept wondering what is next.  The idea is take time to celebrate and cherish the moment before you move on the the next thing.

Spiritual Awakening: Dreaming Of Angels On A Rainy Night

Spiritual Awakening: Dreaming of Angels On A Rainy Night

This blog post was inspired by Abba’s song I Have A Dream. As I sat in Starbucks on a rainy dark Friday Night after what was a challenging day as my car didn’t start and all my pland needed to be adjusted and then spending $246 on repairs which set me back a bit and put me in a finacial perdiciment that I wasn’t planning for I realized that many times when something negative occurs it is our belief in Angels and staying positive that comes through so I took a deep breath and  decided that I would write an entry to empower and inspire the reader.  I sat and began to take moment to look deep inside and to ask my angels to guide me and they all kept saying share your dreams and ask others to share their dreams.

My dream is for the angels to guide me to one day announce large sporting events like a Superbowl and to bring much joy to all those in attendance. This is a big dream and I know with the help of the angels that it can come true. When you seek guidance and support you can turn to your angels and the answers will appear. I think of so many times when I have asked the angels for guidance and they have directed me to the right place showing that everything is in divine order the way it should be.

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.

Spritual Awakening: Wake Up and Be Who You Are

Spiritual Awakening: Wake Up and Be Who You Are

I was having a conversation with Debbie Ford on her radio show on Wednesday when she mentioned that there is a time to be phony like when she is at a book signing and feeling tired and has to put on the smile and sign more books and take pictures. She also mentioned about going to someone who may be sick and telling them they look okay. I felt like yelling Debbie Wake Up and Be Who You Are.  Many times as we are on our path we may find ourself being “PHONY” which at times does serve us, however I find it is best when you are authentic and truthful. If you are truly going to be awakened you have to be true to yourself and others. In many cases you see a need to act a certain way to placate the situation.  If you do not derive pleasure from the experience of signing books and can not be enthusastic without having to fake it then you need to change what you are doing. I know that it can be draining to take pictures, sign books, and go to many dinners, however that is what you chose. I ask did you chose this to make money or did you chose this because you truly believe in what you are preaching.
