It does not matter if your spiritual path is curved or if it is straight what matters is that you allow for the spiritual awakening process to take place and embrace the changes that will make you a better person as you make a mind, body, soul connection. As you become am action taker and put the excuse maker aside you will walk a path that at times will be straight and connect you from point a to point b and at times there will be a curve that may detour you. It is at times when you hit that detour that you stop and breathe and ask what direction will best serve me. Many times we walk our curved path and we come to a choice to take the path everyone else is on or to forge our own path. It is when we come to this crossroad that we must have faith in ourselves that we will make the correct choice and follow the path as GOD has intended. Through our awakening we learn that we can walk the path but the creator of our path is a higher source who will give us direction to follow through on his master plan for us. When we stop attaching outcomes to things and realize that everything on our path is in divine order just the way it is meant to be at this moment we begin to grow personally and professionally. As a result of this personal and professional growth we begin to be comfortable in shining our life and we stop worrying about what people say or think about us.
Many times our path will lead us to a labyrinth, which is a place for use to walk quietly and think about the path we are on as we seek enlightenment. In walking the labyrinth you have an opportunity to release blockages by totally surrendering to GOD and letting go. By walking the labyrinth you can create the oneness consciousness with GOD that will lead you in the direction that GOD intended for you. The labyrinth walk is a great way to reflect and release while receiving messages that will allow you to further your personal and spiritual development. In the labyrinth you will experience a spiritual awakening that will open up your mind to receive and thus open the channels of creativity.
Spiritual Awakening: Removing The Shackles and Finding Your Freedom
As I sat in the audience at The Women of Faith Conference in Sunrise, FL listening to Mandisa sing her version of this song that was originally done by Mary Mary I kept thinking how many people are being shackled by their choices and haven’t found their freedom. Then I thought how can I help you break the shackles and find your freedom and the answer was to share this blog entry with you. Mandisa gave a very moving testimony that showed those in attendance that regardless of the current circumstances you can break free and remove the shackles that may be holding you back. As she shared her story about bing eating I thought wow I have been there. When she shared that once she began loving herself and realized she was loved her life began to shift and her path became clearer and today her message is being shared with people worldwide. I encourage you to begin each morning with some type of ritual that will help you to remove any shackles that are holding you back.
Mandisa and Toby Mac deliver a message taht will help you to have a good morning and a good day as you continue to break the shackles and find your freedom.
It is when we truly break out of the shackles and realize we have a power inside of us that is given to us by the divine taht we truly find freedom. Think about those who are telling you it can be done, or that will never work, or you are not good enough and begin to edge them out of your life and move forward because happiness and prosperity is your birth right.

Spiritual Awakening: Tools to Break The Shackles And Find Your Freedom
For those that read this blog on a regular basis you know I am a big proponet of books and implementing what you have learned from the books. At Women of Faith I had the opportunity to hear Sandi Patty perform her music and give her testimonial. Her books and music will help you break the shackles and to discover your freedom. Brenda Warner was also there, though I didn’t hear her speak her story is motivational and inspiring. Brenda is married to Kurt Warner, whose story of going from a stock boy to a Superbowl MVP is amazing.
I have often mentioned that the use of humor or comedy is a great tool to help break free. I had the opportunity to hear Mark Lowry at Women of Faith and you have to see him to fully understand his message.
Mark Lowry also has a serious side as evidenced by his son Mary Did You Know. When I saw him sing this on Friday 10/26/12 at Women of Faith I teared up.
As you continue to remove the shackles and find your freedom you will discover quotes and affirmations that will help you on your path.
Meditation is a great tool to use to break the shackles and to find your freedom. The following video will help you.
I leave you today with this song from Mandisa to encourage to start now and break those shackles that may be holding you back.
