Spiritual Awakening: The Joy Is In The Journey!!!!

 Spiritual Awakening: The Joy Is In The Journey!!!

 

When you feel it in your heart and you commit to take action you begin a journey that will lead to a destiny. The joy truly comes when you decide to awaken spiritually and to start your journey  to shine your light and to design the life that you want.  It is said what the mind can conceive, the heart can believe, you can achieve. This is true however one must be willing to make a full commitment to walk in their truth and experience all that comes with the journey. I was asked today what I wanted to accomplish with this blog and my answer was to give people inspiration to continue on there spiritual journey and to help other people along the way. I then added if people visit and make donations to help me in my quest to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays while honoring my mother, Judith Miller’s, memory than that will be a bonus. My journey is not about making money my journey is about empowering and inspiring people understanding that by helping others get what they want I will get what I want.

Along the journey there will be some hurdles and some obstacles so it is important to remember that this is your journey and to relish in the joy along the way. In coming alive through your spiritual awakening you will begin to see changes in your personal and professional life. On my journey there have been many trials and tribulations however each experience contained a lesson or a message and by not quitting I have been able to find much joy along the way.

Spiritual Awakening: Find Your Purpose And Take Action!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Find Your Purpose And Take Action

 

 It is said there are two important days in your life the day you are born and the day you figure out why.  As you search for your purpose be aware of the signs that are being presented to you in The Spiritual Awakening process. In GOD’s Kingdom we all have a purpose and every purpose is important. In answering this calling and living a life of purpose we manifest the life that we desire. If we are to  change and come alive and be of service and value to our community we must begin to find the purpose on our path to spiritual enlightenment. In being passionate and taking action we become successful in our personal and professional life. It is when we are aligned physically, mentally, and spiritually that we are able to act on our purpose and create peace, love, joy, and prosperity in our lives. It is important to be aware of the messages that are being sent to us so that we can act on purpose. In his book The Purpose Driven Life, Rick Warren speaks about doing one lesson a day for 40 days as it took 40 days for things to come to fruition through out The Bible. Starting today begin to take action on embracing your purpose. Each day look for the signs and act upon them accordingly.

 In understanding your purpose and being fully committed to fulfilling that purpose you will begin to find that your life flows freer  and that you will experience more joy. Many times we will find our purpose but for some reason we are held back from taking action. As a result of not flowing with our purpose we are left with the would of, should of, could of discussion and we find our self looking back hoping we could change things. Understanding we can not change the past and we can not control the future will enable us to live a life of purpose and shine in the moment.

Spiritual Awakening: Finding Your Burning Embers!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Finding Your Burning Embers!!!

 

Today’s entry is inspired by Suzanne Kovi, who is teaching people to find their burning embers which is leading to them having a spiritual awakening.  Suzanne always shares great nuggets to help people reach down inside themselves to find their divinity and to explore their passion and thus igniting a fire that allows them to share their message. The key to having your spiritual awakening is to find those burning embers that are inside of you and to fan the flames so they grow into a fire that fuels to follow your passion and take action and thus find success. When you become an action taker ad you find your anthem to assist in you coming alive you begin to find that your greatness comes out and you begin to manifest the life you desire. This awakening occurs and you begin to understand your calling and the importance of embracing your purpose. I remember a time in The Jaycees we were having a camp fire and it was slowly burning down and I stated as long as there is one burning ember we can keep the fire burning. This became a metaphor for life as we extinguish one fire we can ignite another or relight the one that burns deep inside of all of us.  I have seen first hand many people that have ignited their fire as they found their burning embers. When we are aligned with my purpose we make a mind, body, soul connection and create a oneness consciousness that allows us to bring the burning embers together create a large fire that when controlled properly helps us to awaken spiritually and thus assists in the creation of a life we want to create.

 Fire can build and it can destroy it can be a source of joy and a emblem of hardship. It is up to you to decide how you will use the power of fire. Sometimes a fire may consume land and homes and we say how tragic when in reality it is a message to respect the power of the fire.  When channeled and utilized properly fire creates and ignites change that allows us to come alive and to be or service and value to our community. We can ride the fire within and ignite it by deciding to use our talents for good.  The burning embers that reside in us when ignited and nurtured can develop the concepts that we want to share with the world and thus we can develop into the loving and caring people we desire to become.

Spiritual Awakening: 2014 The Year Of Transformation!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: 2014 The Year Of Transformation!

 

 Today’s blog entry was inspired by Mercy Me’s new song, Shake. The lyric blame it on the transformation really resonated with me as many people have come up to me and told me you changed and my answer is always yes we all evolve over time and if we are not growing we are dying. As I was thinking of a theme for 2014 I came up with 2014 The Year Of Transformation. I began to think of caterpillars and how they transform into butterflies. The transformation occurs as we have a spiritual awakening and like the caterpillar we form a cocoon and begin to form our figurative wings and when we are ready GOD allows us to fly and soar. It is during the transformation that we create an inner beauty that develops into our divinity and allows us to shine our light bright for others to see.  In transforming and embracing our spiritual awakening we begin to create transformative experiences that serve to enhance our personal and professional lives. We learn how to deal with hardships and find the lessons as a result of this spiritual awakening. Through the transformation we begin to see ourselves differently. In many circumstances it when we transform and look at things differently that our lives begin to change. It is when we declare that we will transform and take action to transform that  we improve our lives and the lives of those around us.

Spiritual Awakening: How To Make 2014 A Year Of Transformation!!!

I remember a lesson that my mom taught me year’s ago  about the butterfly representing completion. It was with this lesson that I created some transformative exercises to improve my personal and professional life. I give you some of these exercises to help you make 2014 A Year Of Transformation For You.

1: Like the butterfly spreads pollen going flower to flower you can spread your message by sharing it and thus resonating with others and while you are transforming they can transform as well.

Spiritual Awakening: Being Forever Young!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Being Forever Young!!!

 Today’s blog post was inspired by the band One Direction and their song Forever Young. The song reminds us of our spirituality and how we all want to be forever young. As we continue on our path of spiritual awakening we can be forever young. The first step is to embrace that inner child that would get excitted when the icecream truck would come through the neighborhood and you had the $.50 to buy a treat. When we allow our inner child to play we set out vibrations  that create a larger spiritual awakening as we begin to attract those that will help us to flourish and thrive. I recently attended The Superstar Sumitt and was involved in a presentation and I did a roundoff.  I took this action not thinking of what others would think. I was in the moment and felt liberated to just be me and not have to put on heirs to impress anyone as I realized I am enough. Through out the day I allowed my inner child to come out and overall it was a productive day. By being authentic and letting people see who you truly are a divine child of GOD with a purpose you will attract the people meant to be in your life.  I have allowed my inner child to come out on many occassions and sometimes it hasn’t gone over to well as some people just don’t get it and probably never will. It is not our job to drag people kicking and screaming into a spiritual awakening it is our duty to shine our light to allow others to see. It is when we shine our light that we give others permission to shine their light.

Spiritual Awakening: Signs, Signs, Everywhere A Sign!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Signs, Signs, Everywhere A Sign!!!!

This post was inspired by a song from Five Man Electrical Band tittled Signs. As I listened to the the lyrics and really focused in I began to ask how many times have we missed signs or have we not acted upon the signs that being put infront of us. Is it no wonder that many struggle as they obliviously go through life not seeing nor understanding the signs? Have you ever received what you thought was a sign and then sat quietly asking the universe what it meant and listened for an answer?  There are signs all around us delivering messages to us and the more intune with the signs that we become the more fruitful our lives become as we begin to take action in an effective and efficient manner.

Spiritual Awakening:People to Help You Understand The Signs

 Satya Kalra, a founder of Path to Anandam is popularly known for her Anandam life style (Blissful Living). Satya’s mission in life is to live in love, peace and Anandam and spread the same to others by leading, practicing and propagating spiritual living and helping others to become more self-dependent and self-reliant, specially destitute women and children.

       I had the privilige of interviewing Satya on 1/14/13 on my radio program at www.blogtalkradio.com/hrafnstongradio, you can hear it in the archives. After the show she called me directly and we had a very nice conversation about how we can be of service and value to one another.  This all came to fruition because of the sign that I received to reach out for guests for my radio show, By becoming an action taker I was able to make a connection and follow the signs to continue my awakening.

Spiritual Awakening: Are You Using Your Time Outs Effectively?

Spiritual Awakening: Are You Using Your Time Outs Effectively?

    Most of the people that watch sports will recognize the time out signal. After reading about George Carl and his battle with cancer  I began to contemplate the way we use our time outs in life and are we using them effectively. A coach is often criticized for not taking a time out at a crucial part of the game. In this game of life that we are actively participating how many time outs are we missing out on.

A few years ago I wrote the following poem, which explains these photos.

Take Time Out

By Jonathan Steven Lederman

Take time out to see a sunrise

a new day

Take time out to hear a baby’s cry

a new life

Take time out to feel a brick wall

a hardship

Take time out to taste an icecream cone

a happy moment

Take time out to smell a red rose

an emblem of love

Take time out to experience the good things life

Spiritual Awakening: Can Oreos Bring Happiness?

Spiritual Awakening: Can Oreos Bring Happiness?

I was feeling a bit down today as certain aspects of my life seemed out of balance and then my mom called and we had a difficult conversation and then I began to make phone calls to set appointments for one of my clients as ran into a whole lot of rejection. It was at that moment that I took a deep breath and started to think put a smile on my face and make plans after it is all done for the day to go to my clubhouse and grab some oreos and an iced tea. As I started to eat the first Oreo a sense of joy came over me, which got me to thinkig can Oreos bring happiness? The answer is not that the Oreos were bringing happiness it was what they represented that brought happiness as they represented a joyful time when I would open up the Oreos take them appart and lick out the filling and this memory helped me to make a shift and realize that as challanging as things are at times you can find happiness in something as easy as an Oreo.

 I know for many of my readers who are into health and wellness the choice of oreos to bring happiness is not the best so I am seeking alternatives and have  found a few:

Spiritual Awakening: What is Your Power?

Spiritual Awakening: What is Your Power?

When I was a kid I remember watching Superfriends on Saturday Morning and thinking how powerful these characters are. As I got older I began to ask the question, what is your power?  Over the years of exploring I found my power to be the ability to bring people together for the benefit of others. In high school I was the one who captained our March of Dimes Walk Team, in college I was the one who organized the special events like The Homecoming Bon Fire, where we collected donations for a local children’s hospital. After college I joined The Jaycees and quickly  began chairing special events. Today I do volunteer work with The American Cancer Society through Relay for Life and have found my power in fundraising. For the last 9 years I have been a STAR Supporter of The Relays that i participated in, raising a minimum of $1500 each year. Finding your power can be done by:

1: Meditation

2: Doing a Personal Skill Set Inventory

3: Finding What Makes You Come Alive

4: Looking at What Brings You Joy

5: Studying and Reading

Spiritual Awakening: What is Your Vision?

  What do you see?

Spiritual Awakening: What is Your Vision

One of the first things we must answer in becoming self aware is what is my vision? On 3/30/12 I was fortunate enough to attend The Vision Quest 2012 Conference hosted by Allow Your Vision To Soar.  As I listened to Kimberly West speak and tell her story and share this wonderful insight ” Every dark experience you have encountered in your life only means one thing! There is something so much brighter  just waiting for you to see,”I began to realize all the pent up supressed activities of the past were not serving me and through out the day I began to release them and let go. I steeped out of my comfort zone a bit and participate did a breakthrough facilitated by Dr. Melissa Anderson, The Quantum Catalyst, who placed a arrow to my neck and had me walk forward through my fear and I shattered the arrow. I kept the  arrow and have plans to make an art piece out of it with a message about overcoming fears. I began to write down notes and defined one of my visions and that is to positively touch and impact  lives of those affected by cancer. As I delved into this vision I realized that I am doing this daily through my work with Relay for Life and sharing 1-800=acs-2345 with people. As the day unfolded I realized that we all have a vsion and sometimes it takes some work to realize that vision. There were many highlights that helped me to set my vision in motion.On of which was watching and hearing Amy Barbera Sing.


Allow Your Vision to Create Beauty.
