Spiritual Awakening: Taking Out The Trash!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Taking Out The Trash!!!

 

 As a child I watched Sesame Street and was very intrigued by Oscar The Grouch. Oscar was happy to live in his garbage can and accumulate stuff. There was one episode in which Bob and Maria help Oscar get rid of some of his stuff. At first he didn’t want to but then when we realized he didn’t need some of what he had accumulated he began to throw it out. At the end of the episode he appeared to be happier.  Oscar reminds me of many people who have had a spiritual awakening and continue to grow spiritually and personally because they have accepted the fact they have trash and are removing it. The trash we have  can be emotional baggage from past occurrences or  actual physical possessions that for some reason we continue to hold onto.

Spiritual Awakening: Strategies For Taking Out The Trash!!!

 When it comes to your physical trash make some piles keep, throw away. The keep pile should be the things that serve you. The throw away is for those things that no longer serve you. As you go through your stuff make your decisions and stick to it. When you take action you begin to move forward in your journey as you will feel better and less cluttered.

Spiritual Awakening: How to Quiet The Mind and Be Productive

As I sat by my pool today reading Rev. Dr. Dee Adio-Moses’ book You’re enough I was visited by an iguana who needed to take a break from his scampering. At first I was startled as I was thinking about a passge from the book about GOD being in us and how you can listen to the small voice whispering to you and guiding you. As I began to quiet my mind the messages aboiut being productive started to flow and I thus my inspiration for today’s entry.

Spiritual Awakening: How to Quiet The Mind and Be Productive

I have often stated that when the mind is quiet you can receive the messages that can lead you to be productive. A few ways to quiet the mind are:

1: Find a quiet place and lay on your back close your eyes and just breathe- This is difficult at first as we are so programmed to rush from one task to the next. We all tend to have what we perceive to be busy lives, however we are a priority and by finding a quiet place to lay down and breathe will help us to improve our health and well being. I usually lay back say GOD is good God is great Ave Marie a few times as I breathe and then I stop and just breathe ignoring any thoughts that come into my head. I do this for about 15 minutes and then I pick up with the task I was working on and move forward in a positive direction.

2: Lay down on your couch after putting on some soothing music or a deep meditation CD and just breathe while listening to the sounds and blocking everything else out.

3: Sit in a  with your barefeet(or with socks) touching the ground and your palms open to the sky and just allow everything to flow.

Spiritual Awakening: Overcoming Fear: What is Your Deepest Fear?

Spiritual Awakening: Overcoming  Fear

As I watched the movie Coach Carter and heard him ask what is your deepest fear I began to think, what is it that is holding you back from maximizing your mission? I then thought of the following Marianne Williamson “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

 

 

I have had the opportunity to meet many people who have put the fear they had aside annd decided to go for it. One individual that I met recently and applaud and celebrate is Anissa Pfannenstiel who is doing amazing work in the community.
