Spiritual Awakening: Stay In The Slow Lane!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Stay In The Slow Lane!!!

So many times in the hustle and bustle that we live in known as The United States Of America we get caught up in all the materialistic trappings of life that we forget what truly matters in our lives. We have a tendency to want things to happen so fast that we get angry and frustrated when what we want to happen takes time thus it affects our personal, professional, and spiritual lives in a negative way. When this occurs and interferes with our personal development and spiritual development we must remember to stay in the slow lane and allow things to unfold as GOD has planned for us.  It is when we stay in the slow lane and remember that it is not about the materialistic things that we acquire in our life but it is about the lives we touch along the way. So many times we get so caught up in living life in the fast lane that we miss out on many important aspects of our lives.  IN the last few weeks I have come to understand that it is important to slow down and embrace the time you have to interact with people who mean the most to you.  I have come to understand that staying in the slow lane will still get you to your destination. It may take a bit longer but along the way you will find that you bringing more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. In being an action taker and doing things in a slow and steady way you will find that you slowly eliminate the negative forces that my be stopping you from reaching your full potential. In creating  a mantra or an anthem for yourself that reminds you to stay in the slow lane you will find that you are enhancing your personal, professional, and spiritual life. As you take a moment to slow down and console your ascended masters, GOD, Jesus, and your Angles you will find that all the answers you seek will come to you. Through the awakening process you will find it necessary to stay in the slow lane so that you move forward in a positive direction toward spiritual enlightenment.

Spiritual Awakening: Slow Your Roll!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Slow Your Roll!!!

As we awakening spiritually and become more and more aware and awake it is important to understand that there comes a time to slow your roll. Sometimes we have to simply look back and eliminate those things that no longer serve us. On of the greatest things we can do to take action is to remove those things that no longer bring peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our life. Sometimes it is as simple as making better lifestyle choices like what we put into our bodies, who we surround ourselves with, or what we consume as content. It is believed that what you focus on expands so if you are focusing on the negative and playing the role of poor me you will attract the same things that put you in this mindset whereas if you focus on the positive and come from a position of gratitude you will improve your personal, professional, and spiritual life. I have  come to understand that sometimes it is just a matter of slowing your roll and taking a few days to yourself to reflect, relax, and rejuvenate. It is when we become more in tune with the fact that we are divine children of GOD and GOD’S plans are far greater than our own plans that we are able to slow our roll and create the life that we desire.

Spiritual Awakening: The Good Times and The Bad Times!!!

Spiritual Awakening: The Good Times And The Bad Times!!!

Along our spiritual path as we journey toward enlightenment we will have our share of good times and bad times. The good times give us the strength we need to face the challenges of the bad times. When we face what seems like bad times we must remember for every hardship we face and conquer there is a joyous moment for us to experience. Sometimes the challenges that are put in our way seem bad when they are actually good as they save us from further trials and tribulations. In taking action and understanding that we have experienced a spiritual awakening we can better answer our calling by living a life of purpose becoming the change we ant to see in the world. In working through the bad times and serving our community we come alive and create good times. It is when we detach from the outcomes and stop projecting what could be or what might have been that we grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. It is when we begin to take action to moving in a positive direction of our dreams that we create more good times than bad times. It is when we stop using the lack words and negative emotional trigger words that we go from bad times to good times.
When we take on the attitude to let the good times roll we create an environment filled with much peace, love, joy, and prosperity. When we step back and reflect on the the challenges that we refer to as bad times we see that the darkness that was happening in our life was there to propel us toward the light so that our life would be enhanced while we made a mind, body, soul connection. In many of our situations when we face what we perceive to be bad times we must sit in reflection and meditation to see that there is a bright light that we were meant to shine and illuminate the world. Sometimes it is necessary to sit in silence and simply wait for the answers to be revealed to us when we are ready to see the light and let the good times roll.

Spiritual Awakening: Leave Expectations At The Door!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Leave Expectations At The Door!!!

Open-door-question.jpgThrough the spiritual awakening process an important aspect to learn and apply is that of detaching from expectations.  This lesson was very evident as I decided to put my passion into action and run POINTS FOR THE CURE FOOTBALL EDITION for The NCAA and NFL Games played from 10/22-10/28. I thought with all the chatter on Facebook and Twitter about football that this fundraiser for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of West Boca Raton would be well received and the donations would start to pour in. I thought how easy, people agree to donate $.25 (25 cents) per point their team scored and then after the game visit http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2 and make their donation. I asked if their team was not playing that they donate $5 or if their team didn’t score at least 20 points that they would donate $5. I thought in taking action and promoting this concept that people would jump on board and the donations would simply flow in.  Boy was I mistaken I found out that many who profess to be doing well on social media are sometimes the excuse makers who are putting on a facade. After I got over my initial disappointment I began to meditate and I realized tat those who are going to participate and donate will do so and those meant to be involved will be. As soon as I turned back to my spirituality I realized that whatever money comes in at http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2 is a blessing. When I stopped focusing on all those who did not participate and started to show gratitude to those who did participate I felt better and realized that one must check the expectations at the door.

open doorAs you check  the expectations at the door  you begin to experience more joy as you allow things to flow and accept that not everyone will resonate with your message but the ones who do will support you. In checking our expectations at the door we allow ourselves to be open to receiving the messages that GOD wants us to hear and then we are able to take action and see what comes about.  In all we do we must change our perspective and be grateful for the chances we had to be of service and value and the lessons that we learned by taking action. I learned that perhaps Facebook and Twitter are not the best places to promote a project like POINTS FOR THE CURE or Fundraisers maybe it is better to go out into the community and share the message directly with the people.  I often say we never know who we will meet when out in the community and what doors may open. In the spiritual awakening process it is important to get out and share our journey as it might positively impact someone’s life.

Spiritual Awakening: Miami Dolphins Need Dose Of Spirituality!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Miami Dolphins Need A Dose Of Spirituality!!!

 

 Since moving to South Florida in 1972 and having Earl Moral as my youth optimist football coach I have been a fan of The Miami Dolphins. In a brutal sport like football it is very difficult to carry your spirituality onto the field of play. The events of the recent week between Jonathan Martin and Richie Incognito has brought to light for all players to awaken spiritually. When a player has a spiritual awakening they begin to realize that they are connected to the team and thus they have a responsibility to recognize the divine in each other despite the fact that they play a violent game where the objective is to knock your opponent off the ball and score or to stop your opponent from scoring.  Today a dose of spirituality is needed for the Miami Dolphins so they can regroup and come together as a cohesive unit and put a winning effort forward.

 Right now The Dolphins are far away from the glory days that had them winning Super Bowls and consistently in the playoffs. The teams of the 70’s and early 80’s had what is called chemistry. I like to call it a spiritual connection where they understand that everyone was divinely connected and when they worked in unison and came together as one they won. There was something special about the teams of Griese, Czonka, Warfield, Morris, Kick, Scott, Anderson, and Bonocotti.  Those teams seemed to respect each other and knew that they were all part of something bigger than football. Today’s players seem to care only about themselves as illustrated by the recent incident between Incognito and Martin. Many have said but that is the culture of The NFL. I say it is time to change this culture as it is leading to many issues and make players understand that their actions are now magnified in the press and that it is time to make a mind, body, soul connection and start to lift each other up to excel as a team. An awakening is definitely in order as these players have been given a calling that is much larger than football.

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: 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.
