Spiritual Awakening: Roaring Like A Lion!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Roaring Like A Lion!!!!

 As I drove home last night after introducing the movie, Lion Of Judah, presented by www.docmiami.org I kept getting the message that it was time to awaken more spiritually and to roar like a lion. It was time to take the inspiration from The Lion Of Judah, a documentary about Leo Zisman, a Holocaust Survivor, who organized a trip back to Poland to visit and make people aware of what he had encountered. In the film the participants on the trip shared their feelings and their insight. Matt Mindel the director and writer of Lion Of Judah did an excellent job in taking a serious subject and bringing it to life leaving the audience inspired. As I drove home and reflected on the experience I could feel something deep inside awaken. Today that awakening was deepened as I received a message  to continue to raise funds for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of West Boca Raton, FL. As I made plans to put my passion into action and to promote http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg1, my website for Relay For Life I was watching ESPN and there was an interview with Stuart Scott, a cancer survivor done by Robin Roberts, a cancer survivor. I was so inspired by the piece that I went to Twitter and tweeted them an invitation to come to Relay For Life of West Boca Raton, which will be held on June 6-7, 2014 at The St. Jude Catholic Church from 6 PM – 6 AM.

 Leo Zisman roared like a lion until his death in July of 2013 leaving a legacy of hope and healing with The Lion Of Judah. Robin Roberts and Stuart Scott continue to roar like lions as they inspire and empower others as they continue to take action and show people that they can overcome adversity.  In roaring like a lion these 3 individuals show  us that when we are in touch with our divinity we awaken spiritually and are capable of doing whatever we set our mind to do.

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: Dionne Warwick Reminds Us Of What Friends Are For!!!

 This is a wonderful reminder of what our friends are for. Friends are those people who regardles of the situation will come through for you. In today’s social media world we count our facebook friends but how many of them can you call upon in a time of need and have them respond in a positive manner to you. How many twitter followers when hearing of your endeavors with take action to support your causes. How many of those people on linkedin will take the time to call just to say hey I was thinking about you. The idea is that when you have that spiritual awakening you begin to realize that as a friend who recognizes others divinity you stand by them in their times of joy and in their times of sorrow becaue that is what friends are for.

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: Dreaming Of Angels On A Rainy Night

Spiritual Awakening: Dreaming of Angels On A Rainy Night

This blog post was inspired by Abba’s song I Have A Dream. As I sat in Starbucks on a rainy dark Friday Night after what was a challenging day as my car didn’t start and all my pland needed to be adjusted and then spending $246 on repairs which set me back a bit and put me in a finacial perdiciment that I wasn’t planning for I realized that many times when something negative occurs it is our belief in Angels and staying positive that comes through so I took a deep breath and  decided that I would write an entry to empower and inspire the reader.  I sat and began to take moment to look deep inside and to ask my angels to guide me and they all kept saying share your dreams and ask others to share their dreams.

My dream is for the angels to guide me to one day announce large sporting events like a Superbowl and to bring much joy to all those in attendance. This is a big dream and I know with the help of the angels that it can come true. When you seek guidance and support you can turn to your angels and the answers will appear. I think of so many times when I have asked the angels for guidance and they have directed me to the right place showing that everything is in divine order the way it should be.

Spiritual Awakening: How Are Your Vibes?

Spiritual Awakening: How Are Your Vibes?

As I was collecting for The American Cancer Society today(6/17/18)  at The Tamarac Cafe Diner I began to think how are my vibes? What vibrational frequency am I giving off? I felt very positive and let my positive energy radiate through out me and onto others. It was amazing what started to occur people began to give and those that did not give were very polite in saying no. I began to observe the actions of many of the people and began to realize that many of the ailments that they suffer go hand in hand with the vibrational pattern that they are giving off.  The experience led me to write this entry How Are Your Vibes?

Spiritual Awakening: Getting Stoned

Spiritual Awakening: Getting Stoned

Okay where did your mind go with this title? I am not talking about the use of marijuanna or other substances to alter your thinking, I am talking about the use of stones and crystals to further your journey on your spiritual path. I first kearned about stones and crystals from Sonia Alexandra, who you can find more information about at www.stonehealing.com.  By understanding stones ans chrystals you will be able to heal yourself and thus help to heal others.

One way to use the crystals(gemstones) is to carry them with you in a bag and each day cleanse them so as to increase their powers.

I found the following at www.old-earth.com that will help you in cleansing your stones:

Cleanse and Charge Your Gemstones and Crystals

Crystals and Gemstones Need to be Cleansed As we work with our Gemstones; either to extract electro-magnetic energies to cleanse or introduce them to build support structure; some of the residue remains. Even if someone holds the crystal to simply admire it, a trace of their field lingers. These traces are not “bad” or “evil”, just as dirt is not “bad” or “evil”. However, the energetic impulse traces will affect the stones and, therefore, an accumulation needs to be cleansed away.

Spiritual Awakening: Be An Advocate For Positivity

Spiritual Awakening: Be An Advocate For Positivity

What thoughts are you watering to create positivity?  We can wake up every morning and look at the negatives or we can choose to do something and change them to positives. Imagine if today a newscaster said breaking news 90% of  Americans are employed, 88% of property owners are paying their mortgage on time, or 89% of all high school students are graduating,  the change in attitude and the positive shift that would occur. Shifting from a gloom and doom, if it bleads it leads mentatlity to the concept of positivitity is going to take a conscience effort for people to become advocates for positivity.  It was written if you think you can or you think you can’t you are right. It is a lot better when you adopt The I think I can attitude.  You are a special person who can do anything you put your to. As Napolean Hill stated what the mind can conceive, the heart can believe, you can achieve. How many times have you had an idea to become an advocate for positivity and something held you back? It could have been the memory of someone saying you aren’t good enough that you haven’t released and said to yourself I am good enough and I am going to move forward in a positive direction and whatever happens happens.
