Spiritual Awakening: The Spiritual Party!!!

Spiritual Awakening: The Spiritual Party!!!

Imagine for a minute that life is made up of one big spiritual party consisting of GOD’S Great Dance Floor. The truth is that you can turn your life into one big spiritual party by becoming more aware and awake as you live your life on purpose. As you commit to become an action taker you will find that you are tapping into your inner divinity more and more and using your divine guidance system which will allow you to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. You will find yourself breaking free from the shackles that are imprisoning you and creating blockages when you begin to dance on GOD’S great dance floor. When you begin to treat life as a spiritual party you will find that bliss and abundance come into your life.
During your spiritual party you will want to praise GOD as he has allowed you to remove the chains of bondage and thus now you can dance like no one is looking and give GOD the glory for the life that GOD has helped you to manifest. If we truly praise and thank GOD and do everything to glorify GOD we can host the best spiritual party ever. The people who attend our spiritual party will be so filled with the power of spirit that they will step into their power and achieve greatness by spreading positivism and kindness to all that come in contact with them. As you host your spiritual party remember that it is is important to spread your wings and follow your heart.
There will be people like Sammy’s Boss who try to stop your spiritual party. It is important to not listen to them and to spread your wings and fly to heights that you never imagined. It is when you begin to spread your wings and step out of your comfort zone that life becomes a spiritual party. When you create your own spiritual party and understand that you are free to create the life you desire while being guided by GOD you will grow personally, professionally, and spiritually.

Spiritual Awakening: Live Like A Warrior!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Live Like A Warrior!!!

As you awaken spiritually you begin to see that living life as a spiritual warrior is what your were meant to do so as to shine a light that will illuminate the world.  In becoming a peaceful warrior whose actions are filled with love and compassion you grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. In understanding the idea that you must stand for something or you will fall for anything you begin to strengthen your ability to make a mind, body, soul connection. In taking action to be a spiritual warrior you set things in motion that will attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. In becoming a spiritual warrior and living like a warrior you start to see that the outcomes you are getting in life are related to the energy you are bringing to the tasks you are performing.

Mother Teresa once said if you can not do great things do small things with great love. Mother Teresa was a spiritual warrior who impacted many lives and taught us many lessons of love and compassion. Mother Teresa taught us that each day we can start over and light a fire that will burn bright to light a path for others to walk so that peace, love, and understanding become the way of the day. It is important that we light the flames of hope of healing and keep them burning by becoming peaceful spiritual warriors who share peace, love, joy, and prosperity with others.

Spiritual Awakening: Grooving On A Sunday Afternoon!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Grooving On A Sunday Afternoon!!!

A

As I sat down at Starbucks to write this entry I took a quick look around and it was amazing to see all the people simply grooving on a Sunday Afternoon. There was a group playing Rummy O, a guy working on editing his photography, people reading, and others simply enjoying life.  As I absorbed all this great positive energy I began to think how important it is to be spiritually awake and in tube with your inner divinity so as to attract much peace, joy, love, and prosperity into your life. I began to realize that if you want to manifest happiness and abundance into your life you must exude happiness and come from a place of abundance. So many times we get caught up in the things we can not control that we forget to take charge of what we can control and thus we create blockages that get in the way of grooving not only on a Sunday afternoon but everyday. Now the question is how are we going to awaken spiritually and take control of our lives and let GOD be our guide. The answer is to first embrace the fact that you are a divine child of GOD destined for greatness. After that it is important to make a commitment to yourself to take care of yourself so that you can be of service and value to others. Then after you begin to be of service and value start to release that which no longer serves you. As you continue to follow your path guided by GOD  you will see that when you are connected to GOD you will see great things unfold so make it a priority to praise and honor GOD daily so that you can grove everyday and reach your higher calling.

Spiritual Awakening: Tools To Help You Groove Everyday!!!

I have found that The Serenity Prayer, Positive Affirmations, and The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz  to be excellent tools in assuming an attitude that will allow me to be open to grooving daily.

I have learned that music can be a great way to get into the groove and to vibrate on a higher level that attracts people  to you so that you can manifest the life that you desire.

 

Over the years I have discovered that books such as these and others available by following the Hay House Link on this page are excellent tools to help you get into the groove.

Kindness is a trait that when put into action serves as great tool to groove daily.

 Giving praise and glory to GOD is a fantastic tool to help keep you centered, focused, and grounded so that you can groove everyday and live life to the fullest.

 

 Essential oils and incense are excellent tools to use while clearing your mind so as to groove daily.

Meditation has served as an exceptional tool in releasing that which may be stopping you from grooving daily.

Take a moment to walk in nature and create a sacred space where you can go to communicate with GOD, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels so as to receive the guidance that will allow you to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually as you continue to make the mind, body, and soul connection.

Find spiritual places like The Rice Terraces in the Philippines and take a trip without all the accouterments that we have grown accustom to and simply take in the messages as you get connected to source. Sometimes the greatest tool we have is our ability to detach and disconnect from the human life that we have come to know and get in touch with our divinity.

 

When I find it difficult to get into a groove or I find myself stuck I use the tool of reflection to remind me just how good my life has been and I remember times that brought great joy and a sense of accomplishment into my life like the 6 months from July 2002 – February 2003 when I was a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer in Buang La Union, Philippines. I look at the photo of the church and the arch and I realize how many lives I touched and how the people in this community changed my life and it gets me into a positive frame of mind knowing that I am capable of great things and if I can not do great things to do small things with great love. It is said that photographs and memories are great tools to help you get into the groove.

Spiritual Awakening: JDOGG’S Gift For You To Groove Everyday!!!

Namaste!!!

Spiritual Awakening: You’re Full Of Spirit!!!

Spiritual Awakening: You’re Full Of Spirit!!!

Have you ever woken up with a sense of renewal and feeling full of spirit? Everyday we have the opportunity to tap into our inner divinity and to be guided by GOD. It is what we do with this connection and how we follow the messages from GOD that will determine how high we may soar. In taking action and allowing GOD to direct us we open up many channels that contain opportunities for us to create peace, love, joy, and prosperity in our lives. In adopting the anthem and belief that we can do anything we set our minds to it because we are divine children of GOD we become co-creators with GOD, The Angels, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and all those who are vibrating on the same level as ourselves. It is when you are full of spirit that you can move positively in the direction of your dreams and create an amazing flow of positivism that it changes your personal, professional, and spiritual life and the lives of those around you. Through the spiritual awakening process you will find many things changes and you will find yourself breaking though blockages that transform you from being an excuse maker to an action taker. In finding your calling and purpose you will create changes that will allow you to come alive and to be full of spirit. In coming alive you will create a community of people who share the same philosophies and beliefs and thus will move many of your projects forward so that you will have a feeling of accomplishment. This feeling of accomplishment will lead to great results as you detach from that which no longer serves you.

When you begin to eliminate that which no longer serves and you make a commitment to be full of spirit you will see your entire perspective change. You will find yourself looking at and reacting to situations differently. In committing to eliminate the negative emotions and replacing them with the fruits of spirit you will see many of your dreams manifested. When you walk in spirit and become full of spirit you will see amazing things unfold before you. The key to making things happen is to become an action and realize at the end of the day all that matters is if you lived your life with joy and did your life bring joy to others.

Spiritual Awakening: A Peaceful Easy Feeling!!!

Spiritual Awakening: A Peaceful Easy Feeling!!!

As you continue on your spiritual journey and awaken more and more you will find that when you are centered and grounded that you will have a peaceful easy feeling come over you. I have found that to achieve that peaceful easy feeling you must be willing to take action and do some work on yourself. I have earned that you must spend time with those who lift you and encourage you and to go places where you are celebrated not tolerated.  It is when you take action that you can awaken spiritually and better understand the concept of creating a oneness consciousness by making a mind, body, soul connection. As you go where you are celebrated it is important to celebrate others.  When you are being celebrated make it a point to celebrate others. I have always taught to remember to be kind to the people you meet on the way up as they are the same people you will meet on the way down. It is important to act out of peace, love, and kindness.

It is when we come together for the common good that we create magic and this magi shows up in the form of peace. If we are truly to accomplish Peace on Earth we must first become peaceful. In detaching from outcomes and expectations and doing all things with great love we create a peaceful easy feeling and the world around us is improved. When I was a child there was a song Peace, Love, and Happiness which I first heard while watching The Skipper Chuck Show and it has become a part of my life. each day when I awake I ask GOD to help me in my endeavors to help empower and inspire others and to allow me to be peaceful and loving in all I do. Through out the day there are challenges as some people who you meet for the first time are quick to judge and sometimes say things that are hurtful. Such was the case today when a so called professional told me my work was meaningless. I took a deep breath told him I was sorry that he felt that way. I realized that by leaving and taking and taking the high road I could maintain my peace and go about my mission of creating a world with less cancer and more birthdays. I took a deep breath when I left and paused to recapture a peaceful easy feeling. As I moved forward with my task I encountered more friendly people who were happy to help. In focusing on the positive encounters and slowly letting go of the one bad encounter I was able to find more peaceful easy feelings.

 As poignant today as when it was first released this is a song I turn to so as to remind me that it is important to create a positive loving world for all. It is through our peaceful actions guide by our inner divinity that we are able to create peaceful easy feelings.  One fact of life remains and that is that we were not just put here to amass material things we were put here to be of service and value to each other. Take a look deep inside to connect with you inner divine guidance system and then follow your heart and you will create more peaceful easy feelings.

Spiritual Awakening: Listen Up!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Listen Up!!!

As I sat and actively listened to The Imagine Dragons Song, Radioactive, I began to think how many messages are we missing as we travel along our spiritual path because we are not really actively listening. Through out the spiritual awakening process it is important to remember that GOD gave us 2 ears and one mouth so we should listen twice as much as we speak.  As I am out and about in the community working on writing blog entries and places like Starbucks, Panera Bread, and Dunkin Donuts I make it a point to tune in to people around me so that I can be of service and value to others. As I begin to overhear people speaking about different topics I find a way to simply go over and introduce myself as you never know where that may lead. In becoming an active listener you will find opportunities to interact with others and thus move further along your spiritual path as you never know where that interaction will go. On many occasion I have been very successful be it obtaining donations for Relay For Life, by the way my donation page is http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg4, or securing guests for my TV Show, The Anything Bucket, which airs on www.wrpbitv.com on Tuesday at 6:30 PM EDT, or simply looking for gigs to emcee. The key is to check the ego at the door and not to be afraid of what the person or people you approach will say. In detaching from outcomes and simply implementing a philosophy of some will, some won’t, some waiting, so what, next you will find yourself moving forward in a positive direction  of your goals and your dreams.

In following your dreams and becoming an active listener you will find yourself belonging to your city. As a result you will begin to attract the people who will become lifters and supporters who will move you forward in your quest to become spiritually enlightened.  This song by Glenn Frey remind us not to forget about our roots and to listen to our heart and follow our heart as we continue to search for our personal, professional, and spiritual identity. In listening to the messages that are coming to us we can began to conceive things in our mind, believe them in our heart, and as a result achieve them.  When you sit down and listen to the messages you find that you belong and that you have the power to answer your calling and make positive changes in your life.

Spiritual Awakening: I Like It On Top!!!

Spiritual Awakening: I Like It On Top!!!

As I awaken more and more through the spiritual awakening process I realize that it is not about rankings but the feeling you have when you see yourself as being on top of the world. A few years ago I was asked JDOGG how is it that year in and year out you are a top ranked fundraiser with Relay For Life? My answer was that because I don’t put being #1 as a goal and I just take action and allow things to flow as they are intended to flow according to GOD’S plan. I stated once that I wanted to be #100 in fundraising because if I raise $2,500 and 99 people are ahead of me that means we impacted more lives and raised more funds for research, education, advocacy, that will save loves. This philosophy has helped me to become more successful in my fundraising activities as I feel on top of the world because I am inspiring and empowering people through my activities and showing them that what the mind can conceive, the heart can believe, you can achieve. I have shifted my thoughts about fundraising from I have to raise money to I get to raise money. As a result I have found more success as I now detach from the outcome and am grateful for any donations I receive. I used to get upset when results weren’t what I expected today I just let things flow and happen and do not put expectations on things and as I let go and let GOD I find myself on top of the world.

It is when you know that GOD is for you and no one can be against you that you can be on top of the world. I was sitting in reflection and meditation on Sunday (11/8/2015) and I realized that since I was 11 years old and hosted my first fundraiser that I possess the ability to be on top of the world. As I came out of the meditation I took a walk around my condo and I saw all the different awards I have amassed as I walk in my truth and show people that service to humanity is the best work of life. I saw my National Armbruster Award from The U.S. Jaycees when I was named one of the top 5 Jaycees in America in 1995 and I realized all the action that was taken and how many lives were impacted. The journey to getting this recognition was very challenging but well worth it. I believe this is where I had my first spiritual awakening as I detached from the overall outcome and realized that if GOD wanted me to gain this recognition GOD would make it so and if not GOD had a better plan for me. I then saw my HOPE Award from The American Cancer Society that I earned in 2008 and realized that I made a difference in the lives of those touched by cancer. In 2014 I was awarded The Community Service Award from S.A.K.E. from The City of Lauderhill. All these awards remind me of the importance of being of service and value while walking my spiritual path thus allowing me to feel as though I am on the top of the world.

Spiritual Awakening: Laying The Smack Down!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Laying The Smack Down!!!

  As I continue to speak my truth and lay the smack down it is my intention to empower and inspire people to take action and find ways to be of service and value to one another. It today’s world where sometimes things seem to be spinning out of control it is important to stop take a deep breathe and commit to not only speak your truth but to walk in your truth and shine your light bright for others to see. It is important to remember that you are a divine child of GOD and GOD doesn’t make any junk. Make it a point to be a lifter and to encourage people  each day. Be the person who shines a bright light on each person that you interact with and share your truth.

 When you begin to speak your truth you will begin to see that GOD will put you in his favor and the message that GOD sends along with The Angel Messages that you receive will be easier to act upon and thus you will be more able to speak your truth and lay the smack down as you move forward the positive direction of your dreams.

When we stay in spirit and walk in our truth and lay the smack down we experience a freedom to co-create with GOD the life we desire as we continue to create a oneness consciousness that allows us to make a mind, body, and soul connection that will expand our ability to be of service and value to others. I have often stated how important it is to remain in spirit and to be loving and caring in all you do as you will be rewarded. In my life I have garnered many awards for being of service and value. In 2015 I was Awarded The Monford Johnson Community Service Award by The City of Lauderhill S,A,K,E. Awards.

Spiritual Awakening: Don’t Wait Another Minute!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Don’t Wait Another Minute!!!

 

How many times have we said along our spiritual path oh I will do that tomorrow and then realizing that there is no time like the present and that time is ticking away. Many times we wish we could turn back time, however it is when we come to understand that we can not go backwards we can only move forward that we awaken more and more to our spirituality. In becoming awake we can take the measures necessary to take action and not wait another minute.
 As I stated we may wish to turn back time but what is done is done so me must move forward by seeking forgiveness and forgiving ourselves. It is in the process of reflection that we can move along our spiritual path and leave our past behind us while living in the present and making a bright future. As we gleam from the past we will find shining moments taht we can draw from that will energize us and propel us to find peace, love, joy, and prosperity.

Each year I watch March Madness and on the final night when they play One Shining Moment I am reminded that all the credit goes to the person who is in the arena. It is when we take action and step into the arena detaching from the outcome that we grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. Through this growth we become better and thus we make the world around us better. There will be bumps and bruises along the way but it is how we face these obstacles that determine how high we will soar when we allow GOD to place us in the arena.

Spiritual Awakening: A Dose Of Happiness!!!

Spiritual Awakening: A Dose Of Happiness!!!

 Today I wish to give everyone a prescription for a dose of happiness. In the spiritual awakening process it is imperative to find your inner joy and to tap into that joy so that it will continue to lead to happiness. Many times I am asked, JDOGG what makes you happy? My answer is easy losing myself in service to others and watching how people come together for a common cause that resonates with them. I have experienced this over the last 15 years as I have been an active participant with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. This year I decided to become The Fund The Mission Lead for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of West Boca and to encourage people to get involved. I have derived a great amount of happiness by visiting www.relayforlife.org/westbocaratonfl and http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2 and seeing the progress being made in the fundraising efforts. I find happiness each morning knowing that I am working for a cause and not the applause. I have learned that in order to achieve happiness I must detach from the outcome and just let things flow. I have also learned that not everyone is going to understand your motivation and not everyone is going to be as committed as I may be. I have  also learned not to compare myself to others and to just stay authentic and celebrate the fact that I have the ability to be part of something special. I have learned that I am more happy when I celebrate others instead of being jealous of them. I have  found that my happiness must come from with in and if I am truly to spread happiness I must first achieve happiness within myself. I have learned that when I am centered, grounded, and coming from a place of happiness and joy that I accomplish more.

 I have come to the realization that I can not look at the outcome I must look at the journey and find happiness in the process. I have also experienced the fact that it is not my job to bring people kicking and screaming into the world of being of service and value and that some will, some won’t, so what, some waiting, next. Many times happiness occurs when you remove the people and things that no longer serve you. I find myself most happy when I am in tune with Don Miguel Ruiz’s Four Agreements:

 When I am in alignment with these teachings I tend to be a bit happier than when I forget to practice these teachings. I have learned over time through the spiritual awakening process that there will be people who say they are going to do something and do not so you accept that fact and love them anyway. As long as you do what you believe is right in your heart and divinely directed you can achieve your inner happiness that will allow you to share outer happiness.
