Spiritual Awakening: Finding Your Burning Embers!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Finding Your Burning Embers!!!

 

Today’s entry is inspired by Suzanne Kovi, who is teaching people to find their burning embers which is leading to them having a spiritual awakening.  Suzanne always shares great nuggets to help people reach down inside themselves to find their divinity and to explore their passion and thus igniting a fire that allows them to share their message. The key to having your spiritual awakening is to find those burning embers that are inside of you and to fan the flames so they grow into a fire that fuels to follow your passion and take action and thus find success. When you become an action taker ad you find your anthem to assist in you coming alive you begin to find that your greatness comes out and you begin to manifest the life you desire. This awakening occurs and you begin to understand your calling and the importance of embracing your purpose. I remember a time in The Jaycees we were having a camp fire and it was slowly burning down and I stated as long as there is one burning ember we can keep the fire burning. This became a metaphor for life as we extinguish one fire we can ignite another or relight the one that burns deep inside of all of us.  I have seen first hand many people that have ignited their fire as they found their burning embers. When we are aligned with my purpose we make a mind, body, soul connection and create a oneness consciousness that allows us to bring the burning embers together create a large fire that when controlled properly helps us to awaken spiritually and thus assists in the creation of a life we want to create.

 Fire can build and it can destroy it can be a source of joy and a emblem of hardship. It is up to you to decide how you will use the power of fire. Sometimes a fire may consume land and homes and we say how tragic when in reality it is a message to respect the power of the fire.  When channeled and utilized properly fire creates and ignites change that allows us to come alive and to be or service and value to our community. We can ride the fire within and ignite it by deciding to use our talents for good.  The burning embers that reside in us when ignited and nurtured can develop the concepts that we want to share with the world and thus we can develop into the loving and caring people we desire to become.

Spiritual Awakening: Always Be Available!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Always Be Available!!!

   In my spiritual awakening I have found that it is important to make yourself available for others. It is true you can not be available all the time and sometimes there are scheduling conflicts, however if you can be flexible and make yourself available you will find that positive things begin to happen. I often thought why would businesses be open 24 hours and then I realized that sometimes a person needs something and the only place to get it is from a place that is open 24 hours.  Personally it is hard to be open 24 hours as you do need time to rest, relax, and rejuvenate so you can be of service and value to others. When planning your work and working your plan you should make sure you have a bit of flexibility so that you can be open for others as you never know what can transpire when you are open.

 You can control your time and the better you control the time the more successful you will be. I hear people all the time say this is not a good time or I am too busy or I am in a meeting when I call them. So I begin to ask when is a good time to connect with you. If you tell me 3:00 PM on Friday and I call you at 3:00 PM on Friday and you again tell me it is not a good time then I put the ball in your court and allow you to make the next call  when you are ready. Ask yourself how many opportunities did you miss out on because you made an excuse about time.  It all comes down to being spiritually awake and aware that everyone’s time matters and the better respect we have for time the more successes we will encounter. By making time you will find that positive things happen. Sometimes you will have to adjust accordingly as many things occur to through off the best laid plans of mice and me. The question you should ask is what do you do when the expected occurs?

Spiritual Awakening: 2014 The Year Of Transformation!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: 2014 The Year Of Transformation!

 

 Today’s blog entry was inspired by Mercy Me’s new song, Shake. The lyric blame it on the transformation really resonated with me as many people have come up to me and told me you changed and my answer is always yes we all evolve over time and if we are not growing we are dying. As I was thinking of a theme for 2014 I came up with 2014 The Year Of Transformation. I began to think of caterpillars and how they transform into butterflies. The transformation occurs as we have a spiritual awakening and like the caterpillar we form a cocoon and begin to form our figurative wings and when we are ready GOD allows us to fly and soar. It is during the transformation that we create an inner beauty that develops into our divinity and allows us to shine our light bright for others to see.  In transforming and embracing our spiritual awakening we begin to create transformative experiences that serve to enhance our personal and professional lives. We learn how to deal with hardships and find the lessons as a result of this spiritual awakening. Through the transformation we begin to see ourselves differently. In many circumstances it when we transform and look at things differently that our lives begin to change. It is when we declare that we will transform and take action to transform that  we improve our lives and the lives of those around us.

Spiritual Awakening: How To Make 2014 A Year Of Transformation!!!

I remember a lesson that my mom taught me year’s ago  about the butterfly representing completion. It was with this lesson that I created some transformative exercises to improve my personal and professional life. I give you some of these exercises to help you make 2014 A Year Of Transformation For You.

1: Like the butterfly spreads pollen going flower to flower you can spread your message by sharing it and thus resonating with others and while you are transforming they can transform as well.

Spiritual Awakening: The Spiritual Alphabet!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: The Spiritual Alphabet!!!!

 Remember in our youth when we first learned the alphabet and we were so excited to sing the alphabet song? Well the same excitement comes over me as part of my spiritual awakening as I learn the spiritual alphabet. Each time I learn a new term or a new modality my inner child awakens and I become like a sponge ready to soak it all in and then apply what I have learnt. In being awakened spiritually one finds themselves taking action and adopting many practices that dig deep into their own divinity and thus unleashes a power that enables them to move forward in the positive direction of their dreams.

My Spiritual Alphabet Book Inspired by Holly Bea’s book I decided to make my own spiritual alphabet.

Authenticity, atonement, attitude, abundance

Spiritual Awakening: Wide Awake!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Wide Awake!!!

 Today as I was driving  this song by Katy Perry, Wide Awake, came on the radio and I immediately thought another message from the universe. Since I have had my spiritual awakening I have become more aware of the messages being delivered to me through the universe. It is when we are awake and aware that we begin to find our purpose and answer our calling. I have learned that when you become an action taker and follow the messages that you begin to manifest the life that you want to create for yourself. When one is wide awake they begin to find more success as they understand that the vibration they give off comes back to them. I have so  many examples of following messages and awakening to the messages and taking action that have led to success that I am often intrigued by the amount of people who just do not get it and never answer their calling and go through the majority of their life unhappy.  When one is wide awake they tend to find happiness and have good things happen to them.  In becoming wide awake we must be willing to go deep inside and make the changes necessary to create the life we desire.  In becoming wide awake we begin t look for ways to be of service and value to our community and as a result of this we attract good things into our lives and have good things happen for us. It is in the emotions that we bring to the task that determines the result.

Spiritual Awakening: Being Rewarded For Being Wide Awake!!!

For those who frequent this blog you know my penchant for hanging out at my local Starbucks. Today as I was writing this blog entry a women at the counter was given the wrong drink so I spoke up and said “I get all the mistakes,” the barista handed me a Black Tea Lemonade, which was going to be my next order. By being wide awake and aware I received a FREE Drink. In becoming wide awake and aware you begin to reap rewards. In some cases it is just allowing your positive energy to flow to you and from you.  Today I have my Relay for Life sign and a collection canister set up where I am seated at Starbucks and people are stopping by to ask questions. It is amazing what can transpire when you are wide awake and willing to put yourself out there with good energy.   The key is to awaken to who you are and what your purpose is and then to embrace it and thus enhance your personal and professional life while helping others.  The fact of the matter is that when you are awakened to your calling and you embrace it instead of fighting it you begin to reap rewards.

Spiritual Awakening: Speak Life

Spiritual Awakening: Speak Life!!!!

 As we close out 2013 today I thought what could be a good message to give to the readers of this blog and it hit me, Speak Life. The song Speak Life by Toby Mac has become one of my anthems. It has helped me to understand my spiritual awakening and get in touch with the fact that what we say has immense power. As you sit down to make your declarations for 2014 remember the words we use have an incredible power as we filter them through our sub conscious mind. I recommend avoiding using words like try and instead use words like I Will. Instead of using words like I have to change to I get to or I am able to. As you begin to become conscious of the words that you are using you and the affect they are having on your life you will begin to shift your speech and thus by speaking life you will start to manifest the live you want creating the prosperity that is your birth right.

Spiritual Awakening: Words That Speak Life!!!

In the spiritual awakening realm of language we can speak life by using words like peace, love, joy, and prosperity however we must be willing to internalize these words and visualize what they are and thus take action to bring them from our inner space into our outer space. It is when we recognize our divinity and begin to come from a place of gratitude and exude the traits of peace, love, joy, and prosperity that we experience the spiritual growth that will enhance our personal and professional lives.

Spiritual Awakening: I Do Declare!!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: I Do Declare!!!!!

 Today’s as I listened to Reach FM, a local Christian Music Station in my community, I heard one of the songs that has played a major role in my spiritual awakening, Britt Nicole’s Ready Of Not. I began to think ready or not 2014 is going to happen. It was at that moment that I declared 2014 as The Year Of Transformation and made the commitment to become more of an action taker and to move forward in the positive direction of my goals and dreams.  I said the words I declare I found an amazing power as I was now speaking something into existence.  It is when we speak the words I declare and then we write the words that we begin to put in motion the flow necessary to manifest our declarations. Once you declare then it is up to you to take action to bring the declaration to fruition.

 By making a declaration and setting our intention with specific time tables to accomplish the goals we show the universe that we are serious about our desire to transform our lives and thus the universe will deliver all that is necessary to make these declarations a reality.  I often tell people when it is insight it is in flight so write down your intentions and the action steps you will take to make them become a reality. When you let your intentions be known and you see them each day you begin to act upon them and as a result you begin to experience success and a feeling of accomplishment that will help you to make the mind, body, soul connection and create the life that you desire.

 In making your declarations and setting your intention ask yourself what is it that is holding you back and how you overcome this challenge or blockage.  I have found that when I declare that I am eating healthier and then set my intention to eat healthier and take action to eat healthier I eat healthier and as a result I feel better and thus accomplish more.

Spiritual Awakening: Giving Brings Joy And Positive Energy!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Giving Brings Joy And Positive Energy!

 As I purchased a gift for my Dad today I began to realize that it is through the giving that you truly receive. I walked into the cigar store and told the clerk what I was looking for and who I was buying the gifts for and he immediately  showed great customer service picking out cigars for my dad and giving me an excellent price. His partner then came in and I was introduced to him and he went into the back and gifted me a small humidor. To thank them I did a shout out to Blitzer Cigars and Lounge on my Facebook page. You can call it a spiritual awakening another step to spiritual enlightenment or karma I call it The Joy in Giving!!!! The Positive Energy that this encounter created really had me thinking as to others ways to create joy. As a result I stopped by my local Starbucks and hung my FREE HUGS sign. It has been interesting as a few have looked at the sign and one person asked me about it.  Part of being awake spiritually is to be in tune with your vibration and how your actions are affecting others.  I set an intention today to spread a message of kindness by doing kind things and as a result I have found that giving creates joy and positive energy!!!!

 A friend of mine, Jason Gilliam-Alexander, of Mentoring Valuable Protégés has banners that say live to give and each time he runs an event he presents the concept of being a lifter and helping others.  In having a spiritual awakening and being on a path to enlightenment you begin to find your purpose and calling thus creating joy and positive energy as you give of yourself and utilize your talents for good. Think about the times you gave willingly and the feeling you had. I know when I come from a point of abundance and gratitude and give freely that I have a sense of joy and create positive energy.  I used to say I have to buy a gift and now I say I get to buy a gift or I say Thank You GOD for putting me in a position to buy a gift. I have adopted an anthem of service to humanity is the best work of life. As a result of shifting my philosophy of giving I have won numerous awards including the Governor’s Point of Light Award and The American Cancer Society Hope Award.  I have come to understand that we do not do the deeds for recognition but instead because of the great feeling of joy and the positive energy they provide. In changing the way you look at things when it comes to giving you come alive and the world shines a little brighter because of your actions.

Spiritual Awakening: Karma Cleanse, Jumpstarting 2014!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Karma Cleanse, Jumpstarting 2014!!!

 As the New Year Approaches and we move forward into 2014 remember that what you give you get back. This time of the year is a great time to become an action taker and design an anthem for you to follow so as to continue to expand your spiritual awakening and continue on your path to awakening. In many cases your Karma Cleanse will mean making amends with those you have wronged and those that have wronged you. You may desire to severe ties with those who no longer serve you, eliminate the things that no longer serve you, and commit to being a positive light for others to see. When you begin to take care of you and get in balance you will find you are more centered and grounded and thus  more good things happen for you.

Karma is the energy that surrounds us and, depending on your actions, attitudes and outlook on life. It can be generally negative or positive. Those with negative karma will feel the consequences with agonizing situations, negativity, resentments and a feeling of bad luck or that the world is against you. You can cleanse your karma and attract positive energy instead with several different karma cleansing techniques. As you begin your cleanse you are going to want to purchase a journal and a pen to write your thoughts daily on gratitude, love, forgiveness. I recommend these 4 questions:

Spiritual Awakening: Joy To The World!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Joy To The World!!!!

 When I awakened spiritually I knew that there would be certain anthems that would propel me to take action to move in the positive direction of my dreams. This song has always been one of my favorites for Christmas. As I discovered my calling I realized that if I wanted things to change around me that I had to change the ways I did things and how I reacted to things. As I began to come alive due to this spiritual awakening I began to understand why GOD had directed to do all the community service that I did and continue to do. Through my spiritual awakening I made a commitment to spread joy to others. In order to spread joy to others I had to find the joy in me. Even through the loss of my mother on July 5, 2012 I was able to find joy and comfort knowing that she may be gone from the physical realm but I can communicate with her in the spiritual realm and that she will always be with me. My mom loved Christmas and went out of her way to make sure that our family was always together and that we always did something to spread joy to the world.  When my Mom was alive she would always attend The Jaycees Christmas Shopping Spree for Needy Children and I would always make sure she had a young girl to shop with as she really wanted a daughter. One year I mentioned to my mom that I was going over to pick up a food donation and she handed me $ 50 and said buy extra with this and I did. Those memories of that time together and other time spent  during the holidays motivate me today to carry on by being of service and value to others so as to bring joy to the world.

 When we spread joy to the world and give the glory to GOD great things begin to happen for us. I often quote ” All Things Are Possible Through Christ Who Strengthens Me,” and have found that by following a spiritual path I have more joy in my life. In the past I would focus on those things that were negative and ask why now I focus on the positive and the joy and give praise and thanks.  It is when you make a conscious decision to be joyful that you begin to understand and fulfill your purpose.
