Spiritual Awakening: Shine It Up!!!
How many times do we shine something up and it looks great for a few days and then the shine begins to fade so we shine it up again. Each time we put the shine to something we give it a renewed life in hopes that it will shine brighter than before and help us to feel better. In my journey of spiritual awakening I have found that there is a need to polish up ourselves so that we can look good, feel good, and do good. In polishing ourselves we are able to become action takers and enhance our personal, professional, and spiritual lives. One of the many tools to use to bring peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives is the incorporation of crystals into our spiritual practice. The first thing to do is to cleanse the crystals and remove impurities and to shine them up so that we can use them properly to bring bliss and abundance into our lives. After we polish the crystals we must create a sacred place to keep them so that we can infuse them with positive energy. As you incorporate the use of crystals into your daily rituals remember that is important to shine up your mind, body, and soul.
As I started to look at this color chart I began to understand why I use certain colors for sponges and wipes and why I am drawn to certain things and the role these color choices have played in my life. I drive a yellow car and it does bring me joy and has created many positive feelings. I have designed purple and black sneakers to wear to promote The American Cancer Society Relay For Life and now I understand the importance of keeping all the colors bright and shiny so as to embrace the spiritual awakening process so that I can be of service and value to others.
As you awaken and answer your calling making a commitment to create positive change in your community you will find yourself allowing the sun to shine in and create rays of hope and healing as you walk in your truth. It is time to shine it up and tap into your inner divinity knowing that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. Now is your time to shine your light and illuminate the world. It is your season to shine bright as you make sense of the crazy mixed up world that we are living in today. It is time to turn on your heart light.
Once you turn on your heart light and you tap into your inner divinity you will discover new ways to shine so that you become a lifter and positively impact the lives of those you come in contact with. It is your time to decide where your path will lead as you stay connected to GOD and shine bright for the whole world to see.
It is your time to become the light of your world by thinking globally and acting locally. As your day unfolds write down three ways you will shine it up and light up the world and then at the end of your day write down the results and see how you feel. I also suggest that you write down the answer to theses two questions Did I live my life in joy today, Did I bring joy to others today? If you can answer yes to those two questions you will have had a good day. Every day gives us a chance to make a positive impact in our life and in the lives of others. It is when we reach out and shine things up that we make a positive change.
As you shine it up and stay connected to GOD take a moment to walk in nature so as to stay focused, grounded, and centered so that you can shine a bright light of hope and healing for others to see. Remember that you are a divine child of GOD and that GOD wants you to prosper so that you can prosper others. It is when you give and use your talents for good that you open up the channels to receive. It is when you detach from the outcomes and follow the messages of GOD that you shine the brightest. The time is yours to step into your power and to achieve the greatness that is your birthright. Now is your opportunity to bask in the light so as to inspire and empower other to shine their light bright to illuminate the world. Namaste!!!
As I continue along my spiritual journey and become more and more aware and awake I realize how important it is to flush the system so that I progress toward making a mind body and soul connection that will allow me to be of service and value to others. I have found that when I take my body and am conscience of what I am eating I am able to gain clarity in the rest of my life. Just as our body needs flushing from time to time our mind also needs to be cleansed of negativity that causes blockages that keep us from reaching our full potential. When we find ourselves distracted by events that we can not control we must reach deep inside ourselves and tap into the inner divinity we possess so as to get get focused, centered, and grounded. Over the las few months I have come to acknowledge that it is when we take action that we can flush our system while setting in motion the process to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our personal, professional, and spiritual lives. It is when we remind ourselves that we are divine children of GOD that we prosper and thus we are able to prosper others. The key is to flush your system and then to overcome and adapt to all obstacles that may be standing in the way to your spiritual ascension.
As many of you who read this blog regularly know I am very involved with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. 2021 marks my 24th year as a participant in this event. Over the years I have had to cleanse my system and make changes so as to help raise funds for research, education, advocacy, and services. I have a web page http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2021 where people can make donations. People can also send checks and I process them through the fundraising application on my phone. The application when it works is great unfortunately some time it doesn’t work so I have to use an old system of sending the check to the American Cancer Society Office. Recently I received a check and try as I may my phone application just wouldn’t read it so I had to send it to the American Cancer Society in Tampa as they closed The American Cancer Society Office in Fort Lauderdale due to Covid-19. I was upset and frustrated that something so easy could be made so difficult however I knew I had to flush those thoughts out of my mind and move forward in a positive direction of my goal to raise $2500. As I sat in meditation I received a message that GOD will not give you more than you can handle and that GOD will put you through some challenges to remind you just how strong you are. As I flushed my system of the negatives and focused on the positive and the fact that there is always a solution I found a new energy and was able to press on and continue on the endeavor to make a positive impact on the lives of those touched by cancer. I realized that I have a strength to carry on and give people a spiritual lift simply by cleansing the system and gaining clarity of purpose.
Another number that has been one of my favorites is the #18 which is Chai in Hebrew meaning life.
A few years ago I was given a bracelet like the one pictured here. I was asked about many times and I would tell people it is about helping other people to excel. I gave the bracelet away about a year ago to someone who is a cancer survivor and she inspired me with her story and asked if she could could have my bracelet. It was my way of passing hope along. Through out the COVID-19 Crisis I have continued to hope for the best outcomes knowing that we will all come out of this stronger spiritually for we will all have learned that despite hardships we grow personally, professionally, and spiritually with a little bit of hope.
As we allow GOD to carry us we begin to find our purpose and understand that it is our time to face everything and rise as GOD is with us every step of the way and thus we never walk alone. Though we may find ourselves apart because of COVID-19 we are all united in our quest to make the world a better place. When you walk your spiritual path and you walk with GOD you will find more peace, love, joy, and abundance entering your life. Though things may seem challenging at this time you can take solace in knowing that you are not walking alone as there are many people who will walk with you though they are not walking beside you at this time due to social distancing. It is now time to take a walk with GOD and share the message from GOD with others.
