Spiritual Awakening: R-E-L-A-X: Relax!!!

Spiritual Awakening: R-E-L-A-X: Relax

As the day unfolded today this song stuck in my head. As someone who believes in messages as part of the spiritual awakening process I realized it was a message to share the concept of relaxing and letting things flow because in the end the only one who controls things is GOD. Being an action taker I have found myself trying to force things and this was creating some blockages and making accomplishing certain goals seem impossible. I decided to sit in a hot bath and light some candles and relax and meditate. As a result I was told that the theme of my day should be to relax and just let things flow. It was when I started to let things flow that I experienced more peace and joy and things seemed to get accomplished. In looking at the things I can control and accepting the things I can’r and understanding that when it is all said and done it is GOD’S plan after all. The key know is to let GOD direct us on our spiritual path towards growth and enlightenment. In relaxing and worrying less we open up channels that allow us to receive and thus we mover forward in a positive direction towards our goals and dreams.

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is getting ready to kick ... A perfect example of relaxing and letting it flow happened recently as I ran a spirit nigh for Relay For Life with Tijuana Flats and hadn’t received the check yet so I inquired and received an email that stated a check for $142.59 was mailed to the address on the w-9 which was nit the address I had given them. Instead of getting angry and pointing blame as I would have done in the past I took a deep breath and called The American Cancer Society and explained calmly the situation and they are looking into it and will credit me and my Relay For Life with the donation. It may take some time to post to http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2, however I can take solace in knowing that it will post and those touched by cancer will be helped with research, education, advocacy, and services. I have also learned hat sometimes people will not follow directions and not to get made at them but to just let it flow. I have learned that people will also say they are going to donate and not donate so I shouldn’t get mad instead I should relax and know that in the end GOD will sort everything out.

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.
