Spiritual Awakening: Fine Tuning Your Authentic Self!!!

This is a tuning fork used to help musicians find the perfect pitch. As I was updating my YouTube Channel, www.youtube.com/jdogglederman, I thought how we all could use a tuning fork to fine tune our authentic self. I began to ask and explore the question at how many times are we attempting to be something we are not because we are worried about what others might think? I began to reflect and realized that when I was fearful of what others might think I held myself back and didn’t move forward. As a result I may have stymied my personal and professional growth. Then one day I realized that I had to be true to myself and GOD and along my path and throughout the spiritual awakening process I would have to become an action taker and use that tuning fork to find my perfect pitch.

As we use the tuning fork to find that perfect pitch and to become more in tune with our divinity we must clean out the baggage that we are now tuned into so to make room for the better things GOD has planned for us. It is imperative to de-clutter ourselves and remover that which no longer serves us. Wouldn’t it be great if we a check soul light that would mimic the check engine light in our car and thus we would be able to take action and do a spiritual tune up so as to fine tune our authentic self. What would our spiritual tuning fork and spiritual check soul light tell us? Maybe it would say:

Book Reiki Healing Session or attend a Reiki Circle.

Schedule a Stone Massage

Get your Chakras checked and balanced.

Spiritual Awakening: Being Independent!!!

A Tribute To The Philippines!!!

As today marks Philippines Independence Day I thought I would write about the importance of finding your independence while experiencing a spiritual awakening. If you have been a long time reader of this blog you know that I served as a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer in The Philippines from July 2002 until February 2003. In the six months that I worked with at-risk youth teaching Math, English, and Livelihood Skills some of my best learning came on days when I was alone and able to really go deep inside myself and find the answers to the questions that I was asking. There was one day I decided to be totally independent and detached from everything. I decided to walk from San Fernando in La Union to The La Union Botanical Gardens. It was about a 10 KM walk with the final 5 KN u a mountain as The Botanical Gardens were at the top. During this walk I came across many people who asked me why I was walking my answer was simply to appreciate the beauty of your country. In The Philippines most people didn’t walk unless they had to they would jump on a jeepney and ride wherever they needed to go. I on the other hand preferred to walk when I could as each time I walked I observed more and more amazing architecture, gardens, and I met some incredible people. Such was the case on my walk to The La Union Botanical Gardens. I met a man who was walking his Caribou to market and asked if I could pet in he said yes and even let me ride the caribou. Being offered to ride the caribou is a high honor in The Philippines. When I finally arrived at The Botanical Gardens I was thirsty and was able to ask the shop keeper for water as I stated Gusto Ko Nang Tubig. As I sat enjoying the water I realized that we create our own freedom. I took many photos, however unfortunately I left my camera at The ATM and when I went back it was gone so all I have are memories of the time spent at The Botanical Gardens in San Fernando. I was upset at first but then realized that I had my health, a family I was staying with that was treating me very nicely, and some great memories of a day that gave me insight into being independent.
