Spiritual Awakening: Finding Recreation!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Finding Recreation!!!

 In the early 90’s I taught Canoe and Kayaking at The Pinecrest Day School Summer Camp in Fort Lauderdale, FL. To be able to be on the water all day and be in touch with nature was the beginning of a spiritual awakening for me. As I was reflecting back on the spiritual growth that I experienced that summer I  began to look at the word recreation and I broke it down to re creation meaning recreating who you truly are and finding ways to get  and stay centered and grounded so that your divinity and shining light is seen by others and just perhaps your new way of looking at things shifts the paradigm of your own spirituality allowing for personal and professional growth.

I have always been drawn to water. Yes that is me 3rd from the left in the front row, when I swam competitively in high school. In my 3 years on the team I had to find ways to recreate myself in order to compete. I wanted to do short course and I had a great quick arm turnover, however GOD wanted me to be a distance swimmer and I changed to do the 500 yard free style and the 1650 yard freestyle. As I change and adapted I got better and better. During training when I was in the water there was a sense of peace that came over me as I started to understand the importance of making the mind, body, soul connection. As a competitive swimmer one had to be disciplined in everything they did from nutrition to practice schedules and of course the academics. On top of it all I had a part time job. I managed as I began to understand that you can do everything you desire if you plan your work and work your plan. I did not know this at the time but this was the start of creating that oneness consciousness with GOD and the beginning of understanding that GOD will provide.  I stopped swimming competitively after my sophomore year of college as I realized that GOD had some other plans for me and thus began another re-creation period.

Spiritual Awakening: Roaring Like A Lion!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Roaring Like A Lion!!!!

 As I drove home last night after introducing the movie, Lion Of Judah, presented by www.docmiami.org I kept getting the message that it was time to awaken more spiritually and to roar like a lion. It was time to take the inspiration from The Lion Of Judah, a documentary about Leo Zisman, a Holocaust Survivor, who organized a trip back to Poland to visit and make people aware of what he had encountered. In the film the participants on the trip shared their feelings and their insight. Matt Mindel the director and writer of Lion Of Judah did an excellent job in taking a serious subject and bringing it to life leaving the audience inspired. As I drove home and reflected on the experience I could feel something deep inside awaken. Today that awakening was deepened as I received a message  to continue to raise funds for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of West Boca Raton, FL. As I made plans to put my passion into action and to promote http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg1, my website for Relay For Life I was watching ESPN and there was an interview with Stuart Scott, a cancer survivor done by Robin Roberts, a cancer survivor. I was so inspired by the piece that I went to Twitter and tweeted them an invitation to come to Relay For Life of West Boca Raton, which will be held on June 6-7, 2014 at The St. Jude Catholic Church from 6 PM – 6 AM.

 Leo Zisman roared like a lion until his death in July of 2013 leaving a legacy of hope and healing with The Lion Of Judah. Robin Roberts and Stuart Scott continue to roar like lions as they inspire and empower others as they continue to take action and show people that they can overcome adversity.  In roaring like a lion these 3 individuals show  us that when we are in touch with our divinity we awaken spiritually and are capable of doing whatever we set our mind to do.

Spiritual Awakening: Be Bold And Take Off!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Be Bold And Take Off!!!

 Today’s entry is inspired by Steve Miller’s Song Jet Airliner as he describes moving on to pursue his dream. In the spiritual awakening process it is important to be bold and fully committed so that you can take off. Many times we find ourselves pulled back into the situations that we were seeking to leave behind. Sometimes it is the fear of the unknown that holds us back. Then one day we decide we are going to face everything and rise and we propel ourselves forward and we begin to truly soar.  It is understanding our spiritual calling and becoming aware and awake that we are able to become an action taker and create the life we seek for ourselves.  One thing that has helped me to be bold and takeoff  has been to adopt anthems that keep me on my spiritual path and help me to embrace my own divinity. In moving forward and being bold we become more awake and thus we are able to answer our calling. In answering our calling we are able to move forward in the direction of our dreams and make changes in our personal and professional lives. In coming alive and awakening we begin to further understand that the level we vibrate on and the resonance and energy that we give off begins to be seen by others and thus the world becomes a better place. When we are bold we begin to take off and our community is better served because we take action to improve our life and the lives of those around us. I have often stated it is when we think globally and act locally that we truly take off.

 In many cases you need to board a plane and take off to pursue your dreams. I interviewed Jake Ducey, Author of Into The Wind, recently and he spoke of his bold step to travel 1/2 way around the world and go with the flow. He states as a result he found himself and his calling. I personally served as a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer in The Philippines from July 2002 until February 2003. It was in making this bold move and boarding the plane that I was able to experience personal and professional  growth. In the six months that I served I learned a lot about myself. On my 16 hour trip back to The United States I was able to do much introspection and was able to understand that my calling was to help other people excel.  It was in making a bold move that I was able to takeoff.

Spiritual Awakening: Finding Peace In All Situations!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Finding Peace In All Situations!!!

 Today’s post is inspired by the happenings at my local Dunkin Donuts. I was there with my DAD as he hangs out with a group of people that he has known for years. This group could really use a spiritual awakening as they create a lot of drama. As the drama escalated I took a deep breathe and thought  it is times like this that we must find peace in all situations.  I was able to create peace by putting on my spiritual advisor hat and breaking out The Sonia Choquette Soul Lessons and Soul Purpose Oracle Cards and The Doreen Virtue Archangel Michael Oracle Cards and The Doreen Virtue Mary Queen Of Angels Cards. By taking action I was able to create some peace and bring peace in to the situation. It was by being compassionate and loving and becoming detached from the situation that peace became the feeling in the space. As I wrote a few days ago in a previous blog entry it is important to create sacred space everywhere you go. The sacred space is inside of you and when you are connected to source you create the oneness with GOD that allows you to find peace in all situations. As part of the spiritual awakening process it is important to realize that peace comes from inside and when you embrace your inner peace you can find peace in all situations. If you realize that you did not create the issue, that you can not control the issue, and you aren’t going to cure the issue you will begin to find peace in all you do. Like a flowing river you will ebb and flow as it is determined by GOD. When you let go and let GOD you find peace in all situations.

Spiritual Awakening: Ways To Find Peace In All Situations!!!!

 

 John Lennon gives a message that can help you find peace in all situations. By being peaceful and loving in all you do you attract love and peace into your personal and professional life.

Spiritual Awakening: Creating Sacred Space!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Creating Sacred Space!!!

sacred space | Sacred Spaces & Places Sacred Space - Spiritual

Kandee G- 2010 DecemberToday’s blog entry was is inspired by Coach Shantel Smith as she  was the first to teach me about Sacred Space as I attended one of her gratitude workshops. Before we began the session Coach Shantel laid out some basic ground rules that the room we were in was sacred space and we were able to express our feelings with out fear of being judged.  Coach Shantel had us all go to The Labyrinth and she explained the way to walk The Labryinth and how important it was to do it silently and allow our thoughts to just flow. The Labyrinth became a sacred space and the little sitting area became a place to gather thoughts and then journal allowing for major breakthroughs to occur. I learned that day that you can make any space a sacred space as long as you bring  the proper energy with you.

Everywhere you are is a sacred space. Creating a sacred space assists ...In experiencing a spiritual awakening I have realized the importance of creating a sacred space everywhere you go. In your home it can be a small area inside or outside where you go to get reenergized be it through meditation or just sitting & enjoying some peaceful music or just writing in your journal. In your office it can be a quiet area that you dedicate to use for 15 minutes a day  to gather yourself and re-center and ground yourself. On trips it can be  place that you felt a good resonation and vibration from and decided to make this a place to practice your spirituality while enhancing your spiritual awakening. The key is to remember that your divinity lies within yourself and you yourself are a sacred being.  I have often found going outside to my pool area and just quietly sitting and breathing creates a sense of tranquility that allows me to create sacred space & thus make the mind body soul connection.

Spiritual Awakening: Busting Out OF Black Friday!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Busting Out OF Black Friday!!!

 Did you fall for the hype of Black Friday or were you like the many that have had a spiritual awakening and busted out of Black Friday? I chose to bust out on Black Friday and take massive action and invest in myself by becoming a Rejuvenetics Distributor, my page is at www.rejuvenetics.net/jdogg1 where people can purchase products that will help them to look good, feel good, so they can do good. I decided that being healthy was more important than the 32″ Plasma TV that was on sale. I decided to bust out and learn about the products and spend my money on me as I know an investment in myself is more important than investments in materialistic things. After all the happiness we seek is found inside ourselves. In committing to being healthy and becoming an action taker we begin to get ourselves balanced, centered, and grounded thus allowing us to summon our inner divinity and creating our own happiness.  In awakening and busting out on Black Friday I have been able to further my calling and create a positive change in my life and in the lives of others. In making a decision to take massive action I have continued to come alive and serve others while enhancing my community. Imagine being able to show people that service to humanity is the best work of life and showing them how to live a healthy life  by educating them with information that traditional doctors don’t tell them.

 In busting out on Black Friday and deciding not to focus on the lack mentality that it promotes I have been able to accomplish many of my daily goals. I was able to get centered and grounded, start my new business venture, write my blog entries, send out media releases and further my journey of spiritual awakening. In being spiritually awake and aware we are able to choose to bust out of Black Friday and appreciate the abundance that we all have. In becoming spiritually awake and a ware we begin to understand that we do not have to do what the masses do we can be our own person and follow the messages from GOD. IN busting out of Black Friday we are able to do more to glorify GOD and thus be rewarded. A new car, or anew TV, or material things will not honor or glorify GOD, however being of service to others will. So in busting out of Black Friday we can all become more in tune with our own divinity while recognizing the divinity in others.

Spiritual Awakening: Savoring A Moment In Time!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Savoring A Moment In Time!!!!

 Every moment where we take action is a magic moment. It is in the savoring of the moment  that we are able to continue on the path of spiritual enlightenment.  It is when we awaken spirituality and embrace our divinity and realize that things are happening for us and it is our vibrational attitude that creates these things.  It is in awakening that we become more aware of our purpose and calling and take the steps necessary to succeed in all of our endeavors.

Every year one NCAA Basketball Team is crowned Champion. The anthem for the tournament is One Shining Moment. In 2013 there were many moments that stood out. This brought up the thoughts that win or lose if you give it your all you can create a moment to savor and draw strength from that will propel you forward along your spiritual path. In savoring all the moments good and bad we learn lessons that will strengthen our spirituality as we learn who we are and what we are here for.  As a public address announcer I have had the opportunity to call many moments and I often reflect on those moments as they brought joy to victors. There is something very magical and spiritual when you can be part of moments that will be savored by many for years to come.  Even in defeats there were moments that brought happiness to the game. The idea is to savor and cherish the moments and use them as fuel to bring joy to your life and to the lives of others.

Spiritual Awakening: Doing It Your Way!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Doing It Your Way!!!

 

 Today’s entry was inspired by Frank Sinatra’s song I Did It My Way. As I listened to the lyrics I began to think of spiritual awakening and how each person comes to their own awakening in their own way. I have become an action taker as that is my way and I find that when I take action I feel better and enhance the mind, body, soul connection. We are all unique individuals with our own way of doing something. I believe that you can do what works for you as long as it doesn’t harm anyone.  In finding our way we may turn to resources such as movies and books like The Peaceful Warrior that teaches that we can
win our internal battle by embracing our divinity:

 By internalizing these quotes and taking action we can answer our calling and affect change in our lives and thus enhance the lives of others. It is when you come alive on the inside and embrace your divinity that you become your authentic self and find your purpose. In finding your purpose you can step into your power and being more comfortable in doing it your way.

Spiritual Awakening: Finding Your Spiritual Hideaway!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Finding Your Spiritual Hide Away!!!!

Thank you to Dorit G. Pappelbaum- The Connector for inspiring me to write this blog as she posed a question of what is you favorite place to get spiritually connected.

 These are the Banawe Rice Terraces in The Philippines which have become a spiritual destination for many seeking to get away and find their authentic self. While in The U.S. Peace Corps I wanted to venture to them, however I never made it them. I can imagine myself feeling the energy of this magnificent  natural wonder and being totally centered and grounded and using the experience as fuel to propel me further in my spiritual awakening.

 This is the Botanical Garden in La Union, Philippines which I did get to visit. It was a great hideaway day as I journeyed from the town square to the Botanical Gardens walking about 18 KM to the top of the mountain where the botanical gardens were located. Along the way I stopped to speak with people along the route. There was a farmer walking his Caribou and I asked if I could help and he said okay and as a result I overcame a fear of getting near this big animal. In an effort to hideaway I had a breakthrough and realized that by getting centered and grounded and finding a spiritual hideaway that you can connect with your inner being and overcome obstacles that may be holding you back. In stretching myself I enhanced the mind, body, soul connection.  It was in taking action on a decision to go to the botanical garden that I enhanced my spiritual awakening.
