Spiritual Awakening: Making Magic Moments!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Making Magic  Moments!!!

 

As I sat down to write today’s entry I thought about how magical life becomes after you have experienced a spiritual awakening. You begin to look as everything as opportunity to grow personally and professionally. You begin to stop making excuses and making magic. Things begin to align themselves as part of GOD’S great big plan for you and you begin to see the magic that surrounds you and the magic that is possible when you awaken and walk with faith daily. In the spiritual awakening process one learns that their is magic in taking action. In taking action one creates magic moments that you may not have thought possible before. Previously you may have allowed the negative self talk and the negative input of others to hold you back, however as soon as you awaken to the fact that you are a divine child of GOD and you have greatness inside of you that the world is ready to embrace you will see how you can create magic.

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: 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: Time For Gratitude And Gifts!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Time For Gratitude And Gifts!!!

This year Thanksgiving Day and Hanukah happen together which had me thinking about gratitude and gifts. I was thinking how can I be a proactive action taker and make this a time for gratitude and gifts.  I came up with the idea to wrap the gifts and insert thank you cards listing the reasons I am thankful for the people receiving the gifts. As that Thursday will be marked by moments dedicated to gratitude and the importance or recognizing and sharing the gifts we have been given.  Think about starting the day with a note of gratitude  and exchanging the notes as you watch The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, then at half-time of the football game exchange another gratitude note, then after dinner you light The Hanukah Candles and exchange the gifts. As I look back over the last year I realize that I have much to be grateful for like 2 brothers, 1 sister, and a sister in-law who really like me and lift me friends who continue to support me and encourage me, and a dad who has been there to help me work through some issues.

 Since awakening  to and embracing my spirituality I have learned that gratitude opens up many possibilities and when you express gratitude great things begin to happen. I have begun to thank everyone and wish them GOD Bless You and the results have been amazing. By expressing gratitude and giving gifts you open up a realm of possibilities to be able to receive.  Thank you to Coach Shantel Smith who taught me the value of being grateful and encouraged me to keep a gratitude journal. Since keeping the journal I have found that the day I write what I am grateful for are some of the most productive days that I have.

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: 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: 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: 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: 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.
