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. To catch the show live please tune into The Eagle’s Nest on The H20 Network on Blog Talk radio every Sunday from 7pm (EST) to 9pm or listen over the phone 917-889-7207.

The Eagle's Nest: Follow-up On What Happened On Sunday's Show: My Sister's Keeper

My Sister’s Keeper

When beginning the creative process for the show “My Sister’s Keeper” I started as I usually do in meditation, studying what it takes to be someone’s keeper. I have sisters. I have all kinds of sisters, blood sisters, sorority sisters, spiritual sisters and then my aunties who are sisters that are older than I, but I got sisters. As with every show there is always a surprise lesson in the message for me so when I saw this topic I began to think “wait a minute!! I am there for my sisters!!” I tried to pull on my mental roll-a-dex of positive things I have said and done for my many types of sisters throughout the years.

I sat there with my arms folded (which is not proper meditation form) and said

“See!!! I have been there for my sisters”

My spirit guide that is so loving and patient with me responded “and”.

And???

And??

That is lot, right??

Isn’t that enough?

 I thought I was really doing something. But as I unfolded my arms and began to reflect I started to think about how much more was needed. It was not that I was not doing “enough” it was that so much MORE is needed. My sisters need my support, and I need theirs, period. But I am not special, at least not this day. I am not special in the idea that I need love and support from my peers. I am not special in the idea that I need a place where I can let my hair down and laugh and giggle with the best of them. I am not special in the idea that I need a shoulder to cry on when life beats me up and has me on the ropes. But then again I am special. We are all special. We all have emotional needs and that sister love it too important.

Some of the feedback I have received about this show is that is was the best show to date on The Eagle’s Nest!! I think everyone could relate with the need for sisterhood. The stories of being there for your friend, for your sisters were powerful and over flowing. My pillar Katrina who I have known and loved since 1992 called in and shared some of our crazy adventures together. I remembered all the situates she has helped me through from children to husbands and ex-husbands, through degrees and a thousand and one moves in between. My sister Aishah happened to be in the kitchen steps away from me “amen-ing” to all the comments. Momma Khadijah called in and educated us about the “womb” and how it connects all women to each other. AstroOrisa called in and shared the elevation of sisterhood which is womanhood and shared information about Egbe Moremi the women’s society of the Oyotunji Village. Momma Sauda called in with her “Sisterville Quilt”. This quilt is an expression of women and their interaction together.

Momma Sauda shared a touching story of the interaction of a woman and her daughter and their reaction to the beauty of the quilt. This is a must listen to show for every type of woman, to experience the love that is there within them.

Greetings Family!


Sunday night's Eagle's Nest was absolutely wonderful, and progressive building. As some of you have noticed since the Eagle's Nest's inception the mission has been to build upon the elements of creating community. When I talk about "community" I am referencing it's foundation from a deeper perspective, thus under the surface,community creation is built upon support, and the support of others. We all get some where in life due to the support of others, hence someone recognized our gifts, and or weaknesses and came to our aid, or helped open a door towards our destiny! The essence of community is not just built with individuals, it's build with the essence of "doing"/ "helping"..

The affirmation for this coming week is: "Be totality honest with myself" getting to the truth of matters. Praying for the ABILITY to be honest with oneself. What will be revealed for you??


Happy Pondering Family!

The Eagle's Nest With Khadijah Abdullah

Greetings Family,

 Sunday evenings broadcast of "The Eagle's Nest" was wonderful ! The topic that was discussed was the element of the law of Attraction! Now I know what your thinking, "The Law of Attraction is so over rated!" But...I think that one might get a different view point when you listen to last Sunday's show. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/theh2onetwork/2011/02/14/the-eagles-nest-with-khadijah-abdullah

After you listen to this week's past show, really think about how you have attracted what is taking place in your life,and how you attracted what you are experiencing now. Really pay attention to what "tools" you used to manifest particular people, and situations in your life. What I mean by tools are; how you used your language to ritualized certain energies, hence allowing them the manifest. Secondly, observe what actions you ritualized in your life as well. an example of this would be repeating the same bad habits that produce the same results. We all do this including myself, but we expect different outcomes to the equation, which as we all know never works. Khadijah would love for you to share these insights next week. You might be quite surprised as to what the findings are! More importantly, what you discover about yourself!

Homework For Khadijah Abdullah's, The Eagle's Nest

Greetings Eagle's Nest Family!

Sunday's show was very profound, and if you missed it here's the link so you can catch up before you continue to read on.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/theh2onetwork/2011/01/31/the-eagles-nest-with-khadijah-abdullah

Khadijah, and all of the caller's brought up very important points about destiny, and how to find one's destiny. Some of the points brought to our attention were: How to find one's destiny, are you fighting your destiny, and are you walking the wrong path due to fear?  These are very deep things to ponder, and really need to be pondered more before you do the exercises presented here.

In conclusion, we ALL have a role to play in the fabric of this reality whether we think so or not; we all play a role to the larger picture of the world. As individuals we all need to start walking in our truth, and the only way to do so is to investigate our purpose in this life; thus our passion. Good luck with this week's exercise from Khadijah. As always, I send you all tons of love and peace. May spirit help you find what you are really here for. For you are important, and have meaning not only to self  but to everyone else around you!

Much Love,

Destiny Exercises

“Knowing and understanding your destiny can help to create peace within yourself and will give you added drive and purpose”

In discovering or re-affirming your destiny there are a couple of things you have to think about (a) what is your destiny and (b) how will you service your destiny?

Our destiny, whether it is obvious or hidden, is an important aspect of who we are. The faster we obtain this information and beginning the steps to achieving it the better and easier the process is. When our ultimate goal, our destiny, is in sight we can manage towards that and live our life in a more fulfilling manner. As each of us have important individual goals in life. Collectively there are big goals that we have together that must be achieved. The more of us that are walking in our destiny’s path the more elevated our ancestors become, our families, our communities and the world.

(a) what is your destiny

Our destiny, even though we may not been aware of it, our destiny has been with us from the beginning. It is everywhere and everything we are and will always find a way to be present in our lives. We must reflect in our lives the underline traits that have always been there. For me it has also been service. All throughout my life I have been involved with community service on some level. I consider myself a servant of the people and thrive from assisting others with their work. Review your life. What have you always done? Have you counseled? Have you always been an organizer? Have you always stood bravely against all odds and for the benefits of other? These are the questions to ask yourself, this is where your destiny lives.


(b) how will you serve your destiny

Once you have an understanding of what your destiny is then you must discover how to apply it. Often time, once you have discovered your destiny and you have accepted it the how will become evident. You will see tons of opportunities that will create deeper understanding as to who you are and the beauty of yourself.

We all play a major role in the universe, don’t delay in moving forward. Reflect into yourself the beauty of your destiny. Each week at the beginning of the show we will look at these exercises and hopefully you will feel inspired to share your experience in researching your destiny. There is someone that can benefit from your story.

Peace and Love Family
