Spiritual Awakening: Let’s Get Juicy And Scrub Our Souls!!!!

Thank you to Lisa McCourt for this guest blog. I hope that it helps you on your continued path to a spiritual awakening. Remember it is when you cleanse and stay centered and grounded that you find the most success.
SPRING. IT’S TIME FOR A SOUL-SCRUB.
     I’m needing a soul-scrub.  Maybe it’s spring in the air; maybe it’s just that I’ve let too much psychic debris accumulate in 2013; maybe it’s emotional triggers stirred up by media coverage of tragic events.  But I’m definitely wanting to release some of the build-up in my life right now.  I’ve started pulling clothes out of my closet to give away . . . I’ve started unsubscribing to email lists . . . I’m purging my kitchen of foods that don’t nourish.
It feels good, but it’s not enough.  I need a top-to-bottom, emotional rub-down.  In case you’re resonating with any of this, I invite you to join me in a 21-day spring-cleaning event on all levels.  I’m asking my wisest guru friends for advice.  I’m culling from my own workshop practices.  And I’m spending time in meditation every day, inviting Universe to guide me in a grand scale Let-Go.
Here’s how it will work:  For three weeks, starting today with this newsletter, I’ll give you the best practices I can dig up for releasing all that doesn’t serve — physically, psychically, emotionally.  I’ll send you two more installments over the next two weeks.
Let’s start by deciding to do it.  Set the intention with me right now that you’ll be lighter, freer, far more clear and vibrant — just 21 days from now.  Know that it’s entirely possible, with just a bit of effort and commitment.  You with me?  Let’s go.

Spiritual Awakening: More Than A Feeling!!!

Spiritual Awakening: More Than A Feeling!!!

 Today’s blog entry was inspired by a song that I hold as one of my anthems Boston’s More Than Feeling reminds us to rise above all expectations and to take action on our feelings. Through our spiritual awakening we are able to move forward in a positive direction of our goals and exceed them.  What feelings are you having and taking a positive action on?

 The Black Eyed Peas paid tribute to Oprah with their song I’ve Got A Feeling. As I listen to this song it reminds me that we have a power to make everything good simple by getting centered and grounded and bringing the right energy and vibration to the situation.  It is when we bring the proper energy to our calling that we have a great day or night. By allowing our feelings to come alive we can help our community realize dreams by keeping our emotions positive and thus creating fellowship and thus becoming of service and value.

Spiritual Awakening: Rising Up To Spread The Message!!!

    

Spiritual Awakening: Rising Up To Spread The Message!!!

   Today marks Good Friday for those who believe in Christ and have taken him into their hearts and chosen to live a life that is Christ Centered.  Today also coincides with the 5th day of Passover for those of The Jewish Faith. Both these days give us a chance for reflection and redemption to rise up to spread a message of hope and healing to the world. As we continue to create a oneness consciousness we have the opportunity to grow personally and professionally as we strive to stay on a path to spiritual awakening. The idea is to really look at what we have been given and to embrace the idea of using the fruits of spirit for the goodness of others.

The idea is to allow these fruits to ripen inside of us so that we can be of service and value to others. It is by polishing and sharing our fruits that we truly show the essence of The Easter and Passover Holidays. I encourage everyone to find ways to express these fruits so that they will continue to multiply in others and thus show the world that service to humanity is the best work of life.

Spiritual Awakening: Sunrise Sunset and Other Musical Lessons!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Sunrise Sunset and Other Musical Lessons!

In Fidler on The Roof the song Sunrise Sunset teaches us about the circle of life and allows us to dig deep inside our self to discover our own personal and spiritual growth as we continue to explore our spiritual awakening. There are many songs that are helpful in allowing us to change our vibrational frequencies. It only takes 45 seconds to change your vibrational frequencies. I encourage you to find music that can help you become centered and grounded. Music is a great way to get intouch with your feelings and to express yourself so that you can be an action taker and move in the positive direction of your dreams. In this blog I have included some of the songs that I have found to be helpful in furthering my spiritual awakening. At times I will play them before leaving the house so as to get me in a good frame of mind and ready to achieve the goals I set for the day. When we are in alignment with who we are and with our mission we tend to feel better and thus find success. Music often helps in the spiritual discovery process to help you awaken to your spiritual calling. I have adopted many anthems over the years and when I am seeking some extra inspiration I will play these anthems so as to continue to shine a light of positivity on others. I do have some challenging times like everyone else, however I find turning to music many times helps to overcome those challenges.

 The song Memory from The Musical Cats teaches us to look back and find the memories that make us happy and allows us to rekindle the sparks that we have inside of us as we move forward and celebrate the new days and the new beginnings and the new adventures that we will experience along our spiritual journey to discover who we are are and what our purpose is.

Spiritual Awakening: Robert Frost Delivers Positive Message!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Robert Frost Delivers Postive Message!

 Have you ever found yourself at a crossroads and you had a choice I could follow everyone elses footsteps or I could make my own path and leave my own foot prints for others to follow? Many people find themselves following what others are doing and in many cases regret not stepping up and stepping out. It is when we decide to take the path less traveled by that we often discover our authentic self and create things that we only thought imaginable. How many times have you been told you can’t do that or you are not good enough, how many times have you listened to these statements and not gotten on you path? How many times have you bought into trying to be the next someone instead of being the first you. I was told the other day you can be the next Brent Mussburger as much as I admire him and his work as a n announcer I said thanks but I am going to be the first Jonathan JDOGG Lederman. I have come to realize taht inorder to expand spiritualy and to continue on the path of spiritual awakening that I must take the path less traveled by.

Spiritual Awakening: Chicago Inspires A New Beginning

Spiritual Awakening: Chicago Inspires A New Beginning!!!

As I sat and thought about what to write about today all the messages pointed to the idea of beginnings. As I listened to the song by Chicago, Beginnings I began to realize that each day gives us a new beginning and that each day we have 24 hours to make a positive impact on our life and on the lives of others. I then began to ask the question what is it that you have been meaning to begin but haven’t due to excuses or the fear of what others may say or think about it?  I then began to ask what is it that is holding you back? Then I found this quote by Lao Tzu,

 and immediately thought it is time to take that first step and watch things unfold. What might be holding you back from taking that first step is it fear? I found this video and I hope it inspires you to put your fear aside and to step into your greatness and to shine your light as it is only the beginning:

Is your new beginning being stymied by the idea that you lack funds to put it into action. I found the following affirmation video about money and I hope it assists you in creating your new beginning.

Spiritual Awakening: Beatles Deliver Message Of Hope!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Beatles Deliver Message of Hope!!!

 As I watched the gloom and doom of the news this past weekend I turned  inward and began to think that as bad as the media is portraying certain events things are actually getting better. I visited www.happyherald.com to find positive upbeat news and excellent advice columns. As I read the positive stories it reaffirmed my idea that things are getting better. I then began to watch Minute With Maxwell videos done by John Maxwell and as I watched these videos I realized that it is up to ne as an individual to enhance my personal and professional life to make things better.  I then began to read about action takers like Leslie Bruce and Karen Binnette Goldberg Raport of Feel The Hugs and their mission through www.feelthehugs.com. Then the phone rang and it was Shanta Tanksley from www.labonitakidz.com sharing good news about the magazine. Then I went back into Starbucks and I witnessed a random act of senseless kindness when a gentleman in line bought the women in front of him a coffee. The ideea is that things are getting better.

Spiritual Awakening: Ways To Use The Beatles Message To Sow Your Good!!!

 Across ouir universe we are all divinely connected and when we recognize each others divineness we being to sow our good and make things better. There are many ways to make things better:

1:     Rick Figley and Stacy Sossner taught me this amazing pricincipal and I thought using it to greet people or say goodbye to people would be a great thing as it resets many situations and allows for people to move forward in a positive direction. I recommend that as you go through the day to share this greeting or salutations and then recognize how the environment around you changes.

Spiritual Awakening:New Beginnings Inspired By President Obama

Spiritual Awakening: New Beginnings Inspired By President Obama

As I watched President Obama’s reaction to the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut  on Friday and then again on Sunday one thought continued to come to me a time for new beginnings.  I then turned to Ecclesiastes 3:1 and began to contemplate the reason for what seems another senseless act of violence and as I closed my eyes a thought occured to me that the 26 lives lost in this tragedy and the families affected give us reason to come together and begin to rebuild our country by turning to love and foregiveness and seeking ways to connect with others. We all now have a purpose and that is to get to know our neighbors and if they or their children are strugling to help them in any way we can. We now have a purpose to improve our mental health system, share the idea of spirituality with others, make others feel important. It is sad that it takes events such as The Sandy Hook Elementary Shooting to wake us up to our spirituality.

Spiritual Awakening: 12/12/12 Another Day Or A Day Of Awakening?

Spiritual Awakening: 12/12/12 Another Day Or A Day Of  Awakening?

 As I awoke today I began to ponder the meaning of 12/12/12 and realized that it is another power energy day where certain portals will be made available to those who are on a spiritual path to become more enlightened and thus to continue their expansion and their quest for transformation so as to positively impact the world. Tapping into the number of positive energy fields today will help you to become an action taker where your anthem will allow you to have an awakening and to follow your calling. Today can be a great day to affect change in your personal and professional life as you begin to come alive and get involved with your community. Those reoccurring dreams and messages can now be acted upon with the confidence that you will be emotionally ballanced and the outcomes will be favorable. You feelings will be powerful and more easily understood today.One way to create more positive energy today is to engage in fellowship by sharing encouraging words with all those you come in contact with. A smile will go along way in tapping into the positive energy of today. The way you react to the flow today will help in answering the question is today just another day or is a day for awakening?

Spiritual Awakening: Rocky, The Karate Kid, Mandisa & CNN HEROES Inspire Greatness!!!

Spiritual Awakening:Rocky, The Karate Kid, Mandisa, & CNN Heroes Inspire Greatness!!!

I am asked on many occassions JDOGG what do you use to stay focused, motivated, and grounded?  I ususally answer I use songs that have a message or a calming effect like the ones above. I sit quietly just listening to the music and bock everything else out. When the song ends I will remain quiet and began to visulaize desired outcomes that I seek and that helps to motivate me. Many time what I visualized comes to fruition as I recall the feelings and begin to take action. I have a few songs that I listen to that have become anthems for me like the folowing:



By using rituals like listening to Janet Lee Kraft, Reading Rev. Dr. Dee Adio-Moses, and reading Mary Morrissey I have found on the days that I do this I am super motivated and don’t allow negative energy to affect me.  I have found that by being motivated and going with the flow and increasing the positive vibrations and being a shining light that good things happen. I walked into a small paint store in West Boca on 441 south of Palmetto Park and the women and man there were very open and receptive and they each gave a dollar and took brocures for The American Cancer Society Relay for Life of West Boca Raton. We spoke about helping the small business owners. This motivated me to continue.
