The Eagle's Nest: How To Stay Focused On Your Spiritual Path

Staying Focused on your Spiritual Path 11.06.11

By Khadijah Seven

Every single show has it own preparation ritual, meditation, time for reflection and this show was no different. About a month ago I had written on a scrap sheet of paper “Stay focused on your path”. Every day I would see this paper and say “Ok, Ok I am focused” and I would move it to my bed, my office area, the top of my fridge, my multiple piles of paper and everywhere else in between. It seemed like everyday this scrap piece of paper would find it’s way to me. As I was packing my whites for the upcoming Ancestral Connections retreat that MothaEagle Ministries was producing and that I was facilitating at I found the scrap paper again and this time I sat down to reflect for a moment. This little sheet of paper was not going to stop following me until I spent some time focusing on my path.

As I did my self reflection I was so please to review all the ancestral energy that I got to partake in. Last week The Eagle’s Nest had a beautiful and touching show about the beauty and wonder of ancestors in our lives. Nov.1 AstroOrisa of AstroOrisa moon forecaster, Radia Nunez, the founder of The H20 Network and myself got together and did an amazing show on ancestors and the realm of understanding. The Nov 4^th thru 6^th  weekend was spent on Sapelo Island in Georgia facilitating one of the most profound spiritual weekends to date! That is a lot of ancestral energy!!! Yet the request/suggestion to remain focused was ever present in my heart and my mind. All weekend I spent a lot of energy keeping myself grounded and remembering “to keep the main thing, the main thing.” I began to think about life and how many different twists and turns we can make before reaching our true destination. Every twist that we take can take us further from our main goal but DIRECTLY towards an opportunity to learn a lesson. We are always learning lessons and for the lessons that we are can not learn we are forced to repeat them. In remaining focused we have got to learn to quickly learn our lesson and try to stay on the main road of our spiritual path.

Loyal listener, Aishah called in and stated that focus is “Following One Course Until Successful” and that was so on point!! Each of those words has different meaning and each person should be able to see where their challenges are. For some the “following” is the problem. They will know what to do but just not commit to start the task. For others the “successful” part is the problem. The person will quit way too early or will hang on to a painful lesson too long. I know clearly my challenge is in the “one” course or direction. I love to pile my plate sky high. I love to have ten projects going on at once. I find when I slow myself down a minute I am able to concentrate better and actually produce a better product. We all have challenges in our hopes to remain F.O.C.U.S. we must know ourselves in order to begin.

A key point that Radia, my producer, brought up is that it is extremely difficult to F.O.C.U.S on anything if you do not have a healthy emotional state. A lot of the mistakes and detours that we make are due to lessons we have yet to learn. As we spend time working on self reflection and healing issues from the past we have to set defined goals/ paths and we must follow them until successful.

EXERCISE FOR STAYING FOCUSED: I strongly encourage everyone to set three sets of goals; one set of goals you want accomplished in three months, another set of goals for items you want accomplished in the next 12 months; and lastly goals for your life. Try to set goals for every aspect of your life; personal relationships, work life, friendships and your spiritual goals. Once you actually start writing your goals you will be able to see more of where you want to be and where you actually are in your journey. Quarterly you should be able to review your goals and see if you are in F.O.C.U.S or not.

It is a must listen to show full of information, emotions and love. The shows are available through archive by clicking the link below.
