Five Defining Elements of the Soul Based Business Entrepreneur

Tomorrow, Thursday, April 5th, we begin the Thriving Soul Based Business Program at www.enlightenedbiz.com and I invite you to honestly explore whether you see yourself in what we have identified as Five Defining Elements that typically resonate and potentially hinder (that's where this process will serve you) success and fulfillment.

Five Defining Elements of the Soul Based Business Entrepreneur That Should Resonate (if you are one!)

1. They go beyond a typical business opportunity to look at how to integrate a soul calling into a vocation or viable business model. Our guess is that if you were attracted to this program, odds are you have left behind a traditional career in pursuit of a deeper calling. A deep sense of meaning and legacy building are more important, so living abundantly and expressing your soul calling must become equally important. You have tapped into a higher potential for both living abundantly and contributing to the betterment of others, therefore both money and meaning are priorities, not just one or the other. When we look at motivational structures of Soul Based Entrepreneurs, typically, they want to align how they run and deliver their business services and products with a deep, internal motivation – a calling, a longing, to both serve and be challenged, to be of incredible contribution to their clients, families, and the world…and thrive financially, physically, emotionally, spiritually and socially.

2. Soul Based Entrepreneurs desire to integrate their spiritual practices into both how they market and serve in their businesses. They seek impactful ways to integrate Universal principles and spiritual laws, such as principles of Divine Order and the law of attraction into how they build a thriving business. They see themselves as conscious creators and because they view the world metaphysically, they seek to go beyond a typical three dimensional view of the world. Yet sometimes they are unsure how to fully integrate spirituality and business, soul and strategy, intuition, strategic planning and marketing into a viable business model. They intuitively know that aligning their divine purpose and soul path into their business and marketing models will generate deep fulfillment and abundance. They seek a whole brained approach – left and right, create and innovative yet linear and strategic a nd are seeking to grow and integrate both aspects so they can fully leverage their mind power.

3. Once defined and aligned with the power of their individual way; the coming together of passions, purpose and authentic expressions, become an integral part of what they do, how they do it, and with whom they do it. This is an essential and necessary ingredient in their recipe for success and they want to be energized, not drained in their vocations. They tend to be more willing to push and challenge themselves in the ways entrepreneurs need to push and challenge themselves and are willing to invest the time, energy and resources into their soul based business pursuit.

4. By nature, they have probably, on some level, resisted their true calling and have a lot of unfettering to do as part of their preparation for truly expanding into their greatness. In spite of their calling and talents, they also often are conflicted about earning a great living while sharing their gifts and are fearful that family, friends and colleagues will think they are crazy to pursue less than traditional vocations. On some level, in our experience, they deal with issues related to unworthiness, and may feel challenged to maintain an enduring prosperity consciousness, and the faith, self- trust and confidence to develop and sustain a thriving business. They also often need to heal their relationship with money and clear any unconscious blocks that impact long-term financial success and increasing the marketplace’s exposure to what they have to offer.

5. Many have lots of non-serving beliefs about marketing and sales that prevent them from engaging in the critical success factors for success. They are powerful visionaries and cultural creatives and have incredible untapped talent, but for many, they struggle with traditional business and marketing models – resonance and being genuine are remarkably important.

They can have some trouble fully living and operating in the world of marketing and sales and it blocks them from having sustained success. They are not always as money and bottom-line driven, nor are they as innately competitive as other types of entrepreneurs. They seek a higher road and are often perplexed as to how to function in a competitive marketplace. Most would work for free if they could. They would do what their soul is calling out to do regardless of the money, yet recognize the need for an energy exchange of money.

They don’t respond to fear based and urgency based marketing strategies. Rather, once they are able to - they seek to utilize resonance and intuition to magnetize their ideal clients yet are not always comfortable in defining who their ideal clients are. Balancing bottom line and strategic planning with resonant marketing strategies can sometimes be challenging.

Soul Based Entrepreneurs also tend to be sensitive, have big hearts, a drive to serve, and often carry a lot of non-serving beliefs about marketing and self promotion, many fearing rejection, failure, success, or being interpreted as less than absolutely, 100% genuine. While they have incredible gifts that they want to share, they don’t necessarily have the strategic planning, business development, product and service development and marketing and sales skills and processes to move their dreams from thought to action. They were stuck in the longing of a dream and paralyzed or at best stunted in the accountable follow through or sound business strategy.

Or…they were hiding out and doing things that were sort of related to their purpose, but couldn’t figure out how to get from current reality to the manifestation of their bigger dreams.

You know you have a potential yet to be explored, "owned" and actualized...

To thriving in all areas of your life...including your service to the world, Anita

I'm So Excited! How About You?

In addition to offering a final reminder that today is the final day to take advantage of the early bird savings at www.enlightenedbiz.com , I am also feeling called to share a powerful reflection that I think you may relate to in an article (below), followed by some great questions that will open you to hidden potentials!

Judgment, Self Worth, Trust and Authentic Expression

For years I have been criticized and judged for giving away too much for free.

I’ve also been judged for not giving everything away for free. I’ve been judged for not doing enough and doing too much. I’ve been judged for being too spiritual, too accessible, too creative and too flexible (especially when it comes to allowing special financial arrangements for those in need).

I’ve had to grow a thick skin and at times, that means exploring and ultimately turning down the volume and intensity of my own self judgments, especially since the very real possibility exists that other people’s judgments are simply mirroring my own fears.

Ultimately, what is most important is that I follow my resonance, and higher guidance, even at times when it has looked absolutely insane. And, from the highest perspective, I don’t think we can do either (interpret resonance and higher guidance) if we do not fully embody the value of our worth, trust our hearts, and be willing to step outside of traditional, cultural thinking.

Think about it for a moment. This is HUGER than HUGE. In the areas of your life where things are bountiful, perfect, flowing, abundant, and strong, odds are you have embodied the value of your worth, as it relates to that area. The areas that don’t flow in the ways you prefer may reflect where there is a lack of self value.

I think that is why my relationships, marriage and family are so incredibly amazing. I must feel worthy of healthy, happy, loving relationships (it wasn’t always like that). I can also see other areas that have not been so easy and effortless and, if honest, can identify that something is off kilter within my own thinking and the beliefs that outpicture in my reality.

Recently, I shared something my younger brother, a highly successful, international business consultant (picture a tall, 6’4”, dark, handsome, charismatic, highly intelligent, strategically brilliant, jet-setting guy in an Armani suit) told me a few years ago.

He said that “If someone does not choose to do business with you, it is because you have failed to express your value.”

To a certain extent, I think this is true. However, over the years I’ve also come to a different understanding in terms of “fit,” timing, and resonance.  And, today, even during a period of time when I’ve been unable to work in some of the ways I used to (being in bed has limited my in-person work), I can honestly say that I love and adore the people I am honored to work with.

I’ve come to trust that the groups that come together are, in fact, coming together for a Divine appointment. I’ve also witnessed many people ignore the calling of their souls and on some level, figuratively canceling the Divine Appointment that would, in fact, be the answer to their prayers and deepest longings.

For soul-based entrepreneurs, each must find a balance between giving and receiving, surrendering and strategizing, planning and allowing, dreaming and implementing, being and doing. And, we must find our own rhythm and balance and ultimately give full permission to be a welcoming and dynamic place through which our gifts can be shared and we can prosper on five distinct levels; physically, mentally, emotionally, energetically and spiritually.

For many, it is the fear of judgment, criticism or failure that prevents them from just being who they are, following their natural inclinations, and expressing what is most authentic, as opposed to trying to impress or win over those who will never be an ally, let alone a fit for the authentic and creative expressions of their souls.

Maybe this is one of the reasons so many amazing, talented, gifted and passionate people are coming together in support of a slightly different way to do business. They can no longer separate who they are from what they do. They realize that chasing a dollar is often getting in the way of them simply being a natural expression in service to others and a Source that is Divine in its origin.

This is the beauty of the Thriving Soul Based Business Program (by the way, early bird registration savings end today!) at www.enlightenedbiz.com

It gives permission for the Soul to express itself in service through a beautiful interplay between intuition and strategy, mindset and marketing, imagination and creativity and development and implementation.

Here are just a few of the questions we begin exploring on the very first day of the program…and I invite you to take some time to listen to at least one of the 6 F*R*E*E audios we’ve given you at http://www.powerofmyway.com/businessexplosion.html and www.powerofmyway.com/criticalsuccessfactors.html  BEFORE answering the following questions!

Important Warning I Must Share (All in Fun)

If you have a sense of humor and have ever seen one of those drug commercials that list a litany of bizarre side effects you'll love this!

Caution! Active participation in the Thriving Soul Based Business Program may lead to extreme clarity of vision and sudden, unexpected bouts of motivation and creativity.

If after taking a sample (link to get your F*R**EE samples are below), completing an exercise or listening to a class audio you experience any of the following symptoms, immediately call or email your coach to celebrate!

Some symptoms of extreme fulfillment and excitement about your business may include:

• Increases in focus and energy
• Out of the box ideas
• Sudden changes in direction due to realignment with higher priorities
• Hearing voices inside your head that say things like “You are worthy of happiness and success,” “It’s your time babe,” and “You are an amazing gift to the world.”
• Increases in prosperity consciousness, self-confidence and worthiness
• Drastic and often unfamiliar changes in your perception of the past
• Foreign feelings of alignment with your soul’s purpose and most authentic expressions

Your coach may recommend a dose of positive expectancy and acceptance of your highest good to ease the potential discomfort often experienced by the positive changes that are occurring in both your subconscious mind and your business.

If you begin to experience any ego resistance or a re-occurrence of low self-esteem, doubt, worry or fear, your coach may provide you with audio supplements that will delete non-serving beliefs and stories and activate higher productions of self-worthiness and a deeper connection with your Source and Higher-Self.

If you have sudden urges to break out into a happy dance or move into higher expressions of service to humanity, take in a few deep breaths and allow yourself permission to surrender to these types of inspirations and urges. Stuffing, denying, or rejecting these urges may lead to an inadvertent repression of your highest good, lowering of energy, disempowered thinking, and fears of failure and/or success.

If you find yourself experiencing any subtle or profound signs of resistance to allowing the Divine to move through you with ease, it is important to ask for the assistance needed.  In partnership with your coach, you may discover past patterns of self-sabotage, lack of follow-through and temporary spiritual amnesia.

Identifying these patterns is an important aspect of your treatment and strategic planning.  Occurrences of shame, guilt, blame and complaining typically reduce within the first few weeks and some of these symptoms may reappear as a way of revealing additional opportunities to let go and surrender your past for a future that is yet to be revealed.

In certain cases, you may find others taking on the symptoms of your own underlying beliefs as they come back into balance with the Divine Perspective. These are merely reflections and projections of both your deep inner healing and growth, and emerging opportunities for additional healing and transcendence.

If you miss a dose you will be given ample opportunities to get back on track quickly and easily via the audio downloads and the comprehensive, step-by-step Thriving Soul Based Business Guide.

If you have any questions regarding the Thriving Soul Based Business Program please visit www.enlightenedbiz.com and choose the option that is good for you!

You can also visit http://powerofmyway.com/businessexplosion.html and www.powerofmyway.com/criticalsuccessfactors.html for free samples to see whether you resonate and are truly ready for expansion in all areas of your life and business.

I Can't Keep My Mouth Shut Anymore

I have to admit that there are still a few things that can really get my blood boiling.  Being the "take responsibility for your own shift" chick means I immediately begin to dissect my own thoughts and beliefs, ask to heal anything within myself that is contributing to the projection, and do my best to stay aligned with my commitments to be a positive force in the world.

And...this is different, and it needs to be spoken.

Every day I receive emails and promotions regarding Law of Attraction in some form or another. What baffles me is not one of today's self proclaimed LOA experts has ever talked about the principles of tithing (at least none that I've heard).  Rather, it is all about acquiring.

Just last week I was forwarded an audio from two LOA/ manifestation experts and the entire focus was on giving your first "portion" to yourself to use for personal development.

My eyebrows raised, I took in a deep breath, continued listening and once again, I heard nothing about tithing, nothing about giving, and certainly nothing about God.  It's just confusing to me considering most refer to themselves as spiritual teachers, yet don't seem to know about this ancient principle and law of tithing.

Actually the entire call seemed to really have one motive; to use law of attraction and the idea of investing in your own personal development as being the number one priority so that folks would give themselves permission to invest money in this person's program.  It was all about giving to get something.

Several years ago Paula Langguth Ryan and I had a Conscious Dialogue called "The Truth about Tithing." 

It's not a secret, and it is not a get rich quick formula. It is a spiritual practice that goes back  to pre-biblical times, across all ancient cultures and religions. It is a way of being in the world.  And, it is a practice that is purely about being an expression of gratitude and appreciation with your time, talents and treasures - not to get, but to give.

Enjoy listening to the audio from that dialogue (below) by brushing your mouse over the grey box and pushoing the arrow...

Then, if called, please post your questions and comments and let's begin talking about other spiritual laws that aren't necessarily as attractive to our egos, nor inadvertantly playing a part in the perpetuation of more lack and separation, or our culturally influenced desires to find that magic bullet to wealth...

Science Reveals Your Inner Controller

If you are unable to read this e-mail, please click here for the online version.

Dear Friend, You're going to love this one. I just learned of an amazing new book that fully reveals the extent to which our inner controller dictates success or failure in every aspect of our lives. This discovery is so powerful that not to know it is almost a certain path to failure. The strength of this solution is literally coded in your mind. We are all familiar with the mind/body connection and the power of positive thinking, but there is breaking news that this power of belief goes much further. I'm not talking about one belief or a few beliefs, but every single tiny little belief—the ramification are simply immense! I'm delighted to announce that my friend and colleague, New York Times best selling author Eldon Taylor takes the power of belief to a whole new level in his newest Hay House release, I Believe: When What You Believe Matters! "I Believe is one of those special books to be experienced and contemplated not just read and the information recorded. Enjoy the journey... I did." ~ Lindsay Wagner, Emmy Award winning actress, author and advocate of human potential Eldon's fascinating new book reveals the importance of choosing your beliefs and the effects these choices have on the quality of your life—impacting areas that may surprise you in ways you have not thought of. From influencing how long you will live and how your DNA expresses itself to what you will allow yourself to see and hear, I promise that you will be astounded at the many consequences for every single belief. It's like a spider web that continually builds upon itself often trapping us where we don't want to be. Go here for more information. "The ancient Greek philosopher Epictetus taught his students that what happens to them is not as important as what they believe happens to them. In this engaging and provocative book, Eldon Taylor provides his readers with specific ways in which their beliefs can lead to success or failure in their life undertakings. Each chapter provides nuggets of wisdom as well as road maps for guiding them toward greater self-understanding, balance, responsibility, and compassion." ~ Dr. Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., author and Professor of Psychology and Humanistic Studies at Saybrook University I highly recommend you read this book and that is why I am giving away my Embracing the Whole of You and The Dance of Transcendence Meditations as a special bonus gift to all who order their copy today! In fact, numerous leading luminaries in the self-improvement field feel the same and are giving away tons of gifts and prizes valued at approximately $10,000 as part of this exceptional book launch party. Don't miss the opportunity to win incredible prizes from Hay House, InnerTalk, Lindsay Wagner, James Van Praagh, Dr. Norman Shealy, Bob Doyle, Dr. Alex Loyd and Caroline Sutherland. Go here for gift and prize details. "I Believe is an inspiring book that shows you all the benefits of choosing your beliefs carefully." ~ John Gray, Ph.D., New York Times best-selling author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus Let me remind you: To do the impossible – you must first believe it IS possible! As Eldon states in I Believe, "The courage to change your life is a process, one step at a time. The wisdom required to take that action rests within all of us. With every step we take, our confidence increases and we realize the true power of the gift of life. In this process, we find that believing in ourselves unlocks so much magic that life takes on an entirely new glorious nature." This is a limited time event—don't wait! Click on the link below to take the first step in discovering your true potential and create a positive change in your life today. Not only will you be making one of the best investments of your life, but you'll also get access to approximately $10,000 in amazing gifts and prizes! Join the party! Sincerely, Anita Pathik Law P.S. I can't emphasize enough just how much enlightening information Eldon's material will provide you - not only from the words on the page but also from the F R E E CD (a $27.95 value) that ships with the book, and you can get all of this and my Embracing the Whole of You and The Dance of Transcendence Meditations for under $20.

Beyond the Walls Your Treasures Await

Before watching the video (of one of the greatest songs ever), and the accompanying lyrics at the end of this article, I ask you…

“Have you ever had a moment when you felt as if a great, big, huge wall was standing between you and a more desired reality or goal and then you suddenly realized you had built the wall with your own two hands (proverbially speaking, of course)?”

Last week we began a teleclass called Aligning with Your Divine Design. As with most offerings these days, it began as more of an “instruction,” as opposed to an inspiration.

I had all sorts of reasons why it was a bad idea. My personality argued primarily about the timing, concerned that the start date (which was part of the specific instruction) was neither practical, nor convenient.

Now, imagine getting into an argument with God. It shouldn’t be hard to do, especially since I’m fairly certain you, as do I, do it all the time, whether or not we acknowledge it as such, or recognize it for what it is.

So often Divine Instruction comes as a fleeting thought or nudge, one that if we are not fully present to will literally go into one ear and out the other. Other times, it comes as a deep longing that requires willingness, commitment, and action that gets thwarted by fear or patterns of self sabotage.

Other times it hits up against a wall we’ve built around the highest aspects of ourselves, our innate wisdom, and the parts of us that we’ve tucked underneath some of the most elaborate illusions and identities adopted or imagined.

What I have come to understand over the years is that when I say yes to the instruction, the inspiration follows, bursting into my mind and heart as if it was merely awaiting my invitation – or an allowing of the mystical to overcome the practical.

Well, you can imagine who won the fight this time, and finally, I gave in and began the process of letting folks such as yourself know that it was happening. I surrendered my expectations (or so I thought) and the day of the orientation I was flooded with so much information that I was vibrating with excitement and curiosity.

Before we were even halfway through the orientation call, something happened that took my breath away. If I hadn’t already been lying down, my guess is I would have fallen to the ground. Those of us on the call took in a few deep breaths and just sat in silent reverie of a shared moment of knowing that a Divine Hand had been at work all along.

The “why” had so clearly revealed itself that all I could do was cry, look up to the ceiling and whisper, “Thank you God, thank you God. I am so sorry for doubting you. I promise to remember this moment and the perfection you have shown me.”

In that moment, there was confirmation; a sacred validation of a faith I choose to follow, honor, show up for and extend, regardless of outcomes and absent of the conditions my personality so often wants to demand, often for very good reasons.

After wrapping up the session that night, I leaned into the humble knowing that I had witnessed, and fortunately participated in, such a Divinely orchestrated answer to many prayers spoken and unspoken.

Yet, as is still true today, 4 days later, I also felt a deep sadness. I knew there were many people who had ignored the nudge to join us, or never opened the email or read the articles that contained an answer to their prayers.

Timing, cynicism, lack, unworthiness, fear and all sorts of reasons had built a wall between the present and the future, conflict and peace, longing and fulfillment, misalignment and harmony, pain and comfort.

I get it. And, more than ever, I know that life is unpredictable and time can feel short. I could feel remnants of my own co-dependence getting tantalized by the idea of shouting out to who I could feel were thousands of people (not just dozens) whose prayers were answered but ignored or dismissed in ways that have become habitual; a byproduct of conditioning and the ego’s greatest victory when it wins over an opponent to its own transcendence.

Life has an interesting way of revealing what has always been known, yet often denied. Beyond the walls built by fear and the denial or resistance of who we have always been there awaits the treasures you have been seeking.

Listen to this song, The Wall, by the band Kansas, and follow along with the lyrics that follow. It totally aligns with essence of this ongoing exploration into aligning with our Divine design.

The Wall

performed by KANSAS, (Kerry Livgren / Steve Walsh)

I'm woven in a fantasy, I can't believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall
And with each passing day I feel a little
more like something dear was lost

It rises now before on me, a dark and silent barrier between,
All I am, and all that I would ever want be
It's just a travesty, towering, marking
off the boundaries my spirit would erase

To pass beyond what I seek, I fear that I may be too weak
And those are few who've seen it through to glimpse the other side,
The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride

The moment is a masterpiece, the weight of indecision's in the air
It's standing there, the symbol and the sum of all that's me
It's just a travesty, towering, blocking out the light and blinding me
I want to see

Gold and diamonds cast a spell, it's not for me I know it well
The riches that I seek are waiting on the other side
There's more that I can measure in the treasures of the love that I can find

And though it's always been with me, I must tear down the Wall and let it be
All I am, and all that I would ever want to be, in harmony
Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross
THERE IS NO LOSS

Ready to tear down your walls and Align with Your Divine Design? It's not too late to join us... visit www.powerofmyway.com/soulsjourney.html

You will immediately receive the orientation audio and get started before our next gathering!

Love and Blessings, Ani

 

From My Who-ness to Yours

Last spring I had the honor of facilitating a retreat in Boulder, Colorado at the home of one of my best friends and colleagues, Paula Langguth Ryan. It was extraordinary and at the end of each day, Paula and I would hang out and inevitably get into some deep and often hilarious conversations. In spite of knowing each other for about 15 years, I think we were both astonished to learn so much more about each other, and often one of us would say, “Oh my gosh, I never knew that about you!”

One evening, as she was reading a short story she had published many years prior, I sat there looking at her, enthralled not only by her story and her amazing skill as a writer and storyteller, but by her entire essence of being and the energy transmitted through that essence. I must have had a funny grin on my face, because suddenly, she stopped her story and said, “What? What is that look about?”  I said, “I just love your who-ness.” “My whoness? What does that mean?” she asked.

I had never used the word before, probably because it isn’t one (a word), but I knew exactly what it meant.  I explained that I just loved “who” she was and how she had changed and evolved over the 15 years I had known her. I loved her mind, her humor, her heart, and everything that was unique about her. Most importantly, I loved that she was freely being her “whoness,” not just with me in that moment, but during the retreat she wasn’t trying to be anything than who she was.

I reflected on the people and clients who I have come to adore and love the most over the years and what I consistently saw as a common theme was the depth of love and appreciation for their “who-nesses.”

On some level, without planning it, the retreat really began to center around everyone seeing and appreciating each other’s “whonesses” You can imagine the hilarity when, the next day we all explored the idea of being comfortable and accepting of our whoness (within self and with others) as a support of our “royal we-ness (I could go on but it all starts sounding a little inappropriate and hugely hilarious).

Do you love your whoness?

Do you? Do you even really know what that means for you? In all seriousness, on some level I think one of the greatest tragedies is when a person never really gets to know and fully express the uniqueness of their being – the who-ness that gets buried under years of conditioning, fear and self-judgment.

We’ve all been in relationships where it didn’t feel safe to be our true selves, or maybe we had a hard time accepting the “whoness” of another.  Resonance and connection, two of the most transformational and influential elements to fulfillment, and two of the most profound ways our souls communicate, cannot fully exist in a dynamic of denial and rejection.

Yet, isn’t it interesting how often we deny and reject the very parts of ourselves (and others) that will, in fact, create the most opportunities to experience both resonance and connection? In the meantime, we feel as if something is “off” or missing “out there,” but, if really explored, so much of what seems to be “missing” is actually rooted in not knowing, loving, or respecting ourselves (and all of our oddities) in connection to our sacred whoness.

In a world where fitting in, hiding our true natures, or sacrificing who we are for whom we think others want or need us to be, the place of our deepest connection, truth, belonging, expression and purpose can get quite muddled. It is no wonder the numbers of people in the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s who come to me for coaching and healing work that often don’t even know who they are or why they exist, let alone devalue themselves because they can’t see themselves as unique and special beings born to a potential not yet realized.

Just like everything that exists in creation, we all have a design that is unique and supportive of the purpose we came here to fulfill and the sense of meaning that will bring us the greatest fulfillment. I’ve come to call this your “Divine Design.”  Your Divine design is your core essence, sourced in your unique encoding; the aspects of your personality, talents, interests and abilities that are inherent to you.

Your life experiences are intended to reveal more of that encoding, sometimes in ways that are challenging.  When taken advantage of, they can be revealing in terms of identifying many conditioned patterns of thoughts or behaviors that have hindered you from both understanding and expressing yourself in a way that supports your encoded potential, or Divine Design.

When out of alignment, we can feel as if something is missing; possibly a key awareness that would significantly alter both your sense of self and the potential that exists when you honor, acknowledge and cultivate what is inherent in your design. Aspects of your unique design have been evident since you were a young child, while other aspects may be hidden from you until the timing that is most Divine and perfect, often for reasons initially unknown.

 Aligning with your Divine Design is a process of unfettering from illusionary identities and beliefs and then undergoing an exploration of what exists at your essence.  Until we can truly come to appreciate and align with our Divine Design how can we even know what resonates and what doesn’t? How can we choose anything with confidence and clarity? And, how can we truly tap into the foundational worth of our existence?

To learn more about the potential that exists when we Align with Our Divine Design I encourage you to join us tomorrow, Tuesday at www.powerofmyway.com/soulsjourney.html

Each week we will engage in dynamic teachings, discussions and a healing activation or clearing. The groups that come together are so clearly orchestrated and organized by the Divine, it is humbling.

If you would love a “taste” of what we experience you can listen to two healing activations today. Due to confidentiality, I can’t share an audio of the dynamic discussions and exercises we do each week, but I can share these with you today!

You Are a Breath of Heaven

I don't think one could spend so much time in solitude as I have over the last few months and not receive powerful insights for one's self and others.

Some of these insights are so important to share that I will do my best to do so as clearly and concisely as possible AS INSPIRED TO DO SO, beginning below in both words and a song...

First, because I dropped off the grid this week, I wasn’t around to respond to some time-sensitive questions about the next Soul’s Journey Into Expression Teleseries beginning on February 21 at www.powerofmyway.com/soulsjourney.html

Why Align with Your Divine Design?

Years ago when I first heard a song entitled “Breath of Heaven” (video posted below) by Amy Grant, also known as “Mary’s Song,” I knew it was not just about Mary and the miracle that Christians commonly refer to as the Immaculate Conception.

From a metaphysical perspective it is a song about me and you. It is a prayer that reminds each of us about the power and gift of surrendering to the Divine Plan for each of our uniquely designed lives.

And, it is a reminder that each of us, you included, has been seeded with a potential that is Divine in its origin; chosen because God had faith in us to carry the dream to “term.”

In other words until the point in time when your greater “why” and all of your preparation (mostly through your life’s greatest challenges) intersected with Divine timing, you have been entrusted to be a womb of sorts for new creation.

It is a song that speaks to one of the toughest truths each of us must reconcile with at some point in our lives; a truth that regardless of religion or faith, every human being was born and created for a purpose and that no matter the resistance, whether internal or external, we at times don’t feel worthy, prepared, or ready to “give birth” to a dream and destiny that is greater than most can even begin to imagine.

And, most important, we are reminded (by Mary) that if we ask for the strength to know, to grow, to accept and surrender to a destiny unfolding, often in the most mysterious of ways, that we will contribute something quite significant to the whole of humanity.

Herein lies the greatest opportunity ever given to every man, woman and child…the opportunity to allow life and all of its crazy and unexpected happenings to be acknowledged as something that is happening FOR you, not to you.

I say this as I celebrate, in victory, a feat I never would have chosen (consciously at least); the feat of being flat on my back, undergoing treatment for 4+ months, confined to my bed, often in total darkness and quiet and not lose either my mind or my sense of purpose and worth.  Although much of the time I am in pain, unable to sit long enough to eat a simple meal, I know I have been given an incredible gift.

I know this is part of my destiny’s path unfolding. I also know that it is not, nor has it ever been totally about me and my own growth in service as a human being, wife, mother, spiritual teacher, or healing facilitator.

This experience has been filled with prayers answered – big, huge prayers (to fully embody faith and compassion) that at times I wished I could take back (ha, ha), or add an addendum that requested my prayers be answered in easier more graceful ways (she says laughing her proverbial a** off!).

You are a Unique and Vital Creation, Created for Reasons Yet to be Known or Fully Understood

You have been chosen to do remarkable things and be a catalyst for great change in a world whose consciousness is forever evolving.  Aligning with your Divine Design is much more than say, healing non-serving beliefs or enhancing your sense of self worth and confidence.

Aligning with your Divine Design is probably one of the most profound opportunities to truly embody faith and trust and cultivate an intimate, ongoing, communicative relationship with a God of a much higher understanding than most of us can presently fathom.

BUT…this level of alignment does not guarantee a life of ease and perpetual clarity, happiness and complete bliss.  Rather, it requires a personal cultivation of faith, willingness and holy communication that will ultimately guide you towards a deeper honoring of who you are in terms of a sacred design that was encoded into you, not necessarily created by you.

Listen to this inspiring song with a metaphysically minded approach and let yourself go beyond the literal, ok?  Imagine you as the vessel through which the Divine wishes to manifest greatness dedicated to the whole of humanity. The more you resist, the more God will persist. The less you interfere, the more grace will be revealed.

For Healing to be Made Manifest...

This morning I received this message and initially thought it was to be shared with the folks going thru the Initiating the Shift Program.

Then, I realized it is for everyone...so here it is!

"For healing to be made fully manifest, what has previously been unconscious must become conscious, in both the human perspective and from what has always been within the Divine's Perspectives. When able to see through Divine eyes we receive an understanding beyond the conditioning and consciousness that is human in perspective. As you allow yourself to rise up into the expansiveness of this knowing, all will be forgiven and reinterpreted as the gifts of their Original Intention. You hold the key to freedom. In the letting go of past perspectives held in any form of resentment, guilt, shame, blame or victimization, you allow for the expansion of your God self to be made more aware within you, in others, and in all situations and events of the past. It is not just you that benefits...the entire world benefits.

For this, God gives thanks. Allow yourself to fully receive the blessings that are imminent when you clear space for the good that is wishing to be made manifest within all layers of your being and in every detail of your life. Forgiveness opens you to be infused with the consciousness of love that precedes all healing. Prepare yourself now by saying yes to love inhabiting you in ways that may feel foreign to you at first. Your woundedness may fight to survive. Old stories may try hard to revive themselves. Embracing your shadows in love and acceptance for what they have taught you is a gift you can now give to yourself and others. Celebrate how they revealed that which was in need of the Compassion that opens you to Truth, the Divine Empathy that opened you to Forgiveness and the Love that will be the bridge to healing beyond anything that you can possibly imagine.”

Also, a reminder...Everyone who registers before midnight on Saturday, Feb. 18 at http://powerofmyway.com/soulsjourney.html will receive a free private healing session that we'll record and put to music....

From My Heart to Yours

Yesterday, after another fabulous Sunday Soul gathering, I received the nudge to capture some of the main points in writing.  From my heart to yours, it is my prayer that you come away with a greater understanding of how important your life, and why aligning with the Divine Design that is unique to you, is so vitally important to the rest of us.

This message came two days after I heard myself respond to some Divine Guidance to make a new movie and extend an extraordinary opportunity for those of you who are committed to aligning with your soul’s path and honoring your “Divine Design,” but still find yourself asking, “Why bother? What’s the Point?”

Every day I witness one of the most intriguing dynamics between humans and the Divine. It is akin to playing tug-o-war with one’s lower self and higher self and quite honestly, it can feel as if we are being split in two.

When played out in our relationships and work, or even in how we relate to money, or our deepest, most Divinely inspired dreams, it can be quite destructive to a greater intention that wishes to be fulfilled...

 Simply put, this intriguing dynamic reveals the ongoing ways we war against our innate and intended potential as human beings, in relationships with others, and certainly in relationship with our Higher Power and what we’ve come to call our “Divine Design.”

In fact, many of today’s greatest minds would agree that much of what we are facing—as individuals and as a human race—is a powerful urging and urgency to align with our Divine Design and move beyond lower levels of consciousness and behavior that foster more separation and less unification, within ourselves, and in relationship with others.

They would also agree that this level of alignment begins with you – the individual—to come into greater alignment with your Divine Design.

And, you might be asking (thru layers of past disappointments, or ego interference), “Why Bother?”

Here is why you should bother, ok?

Aligning with Your Divine Design will clear blocks to receiving a good unimagined, and more importantly, it aligns the energy and courage it takes to act on the wisdom, guidance and inspiration that are aligned with your very reasons for existence. 

This level of alignment will also bring clarity to why you have lived the life you have lived thus far and what you have been prepared for, in ways previously unimagined, or unaware of.  Imagine the potential freedom in that one statement!

Our next Soul’s Journey Into Expression Series, will be focused on Aligning with Your Divine Design; opening you to receive your Creator's vision and understanding of what is most aligned with your soul path and the contributions you have been uniquely created to make in the lives of others…beginning with yourself.

In tandem to the clearing of unconscious and conscious blocks and beliefs that hinder you from surrendering to a higher and greater will for your life, relationships and your unique business expressions, you will then be infused with the energy, perspectives and the willingness to fully surrender to your Divine Design, and what is being called forth right now in one or more areas of your life.

Think about this next statement and the amazing implications…

The more aligned you are with God’s will for your life – the very reasons for your existence and the life experiences you have had thus far –the more likely it will be that your desires will be a pre-cognitive, pre-sensory awareness of what is already in the process of coming into your life.

In other words, you will no longer desire something because you think it is lacking or absent from your life. Instead, desire will be an indication of something you are being prepared for, in alignment with your greater “why…,” and in service to a destiny that is in the process of unfolding…

My questions for you are…

Are you prepared? Are you willing? Are you open to a actively engaging in an expedition; not into the vast “unknown,” but rather into the vast expanse of the “inknown” wisdom that has always been?

Are you a welcoming place for receiving energy, inspiration, guidance and clarity that comes from your inherent divinity, as opposed to taking actions (or inactions) from fear, lack, or some other humanly conditioned form of fear and lack?

Or, over time, is it possible that the environment of your mind (and what you have come to believe and disbelieve) has become an unwelcoming place for much of what will bring you the greatest joy and fulfillment?

I know this is a tough question to ask and honestly answer. I also know it is both important and urgent. It is worthy of your time, energy and contemplation.

After all, until you truly know yourself as God knows you, you can never really claim authenticity or fully “own your power”…can you?

Until you trust yourself as God has entrusted you from the beginning – at the genesis of your creation —how can you really place trust in the very foundations of your faith and ever fully understand what it means to surrender to a vision and will that is simply Divine in its intelligence, creativity and reasoning?

Take a moment and consider the potential that is activated when we come into alignment with a higher will.

• Imagine how the things you desire might change, what will suddenly make sense to you, and the distractions and diversions that will no longer be an issue.
• Imagine embodying the value of your worth and how that will completely alter the trajectory of your life, let alone your day-to-day decisions!
• Imagine trusting your inner (Divine) guidance, and the peace that will follow.

And…

Imagine the power and potential of partnering, on all levels, with God’s will and wishes for you to know yourself as God knows you, and be the expression that is most aligned with your Divine Design, in forms unique to you!

What would you be thinking, feeling and doing that you are not currently (or consistently) thinking feeling and doing?

And…

What would you no longer be thinking, feeling and doing that may, in fact, be excuses, diversions and distractions that are diminishing the very “stuff” you are made of and blinding you to your own pre-destined potential?

Here are just some of the words you might begin using to describe your life…

• Extraordinary
• Magical
• Synchronistic
• Amazing
• Beautiful
• Soulful
• Aligned
• Supremely guided
• Fulfilling
• Abundant
• Prosperous
• Miraculous

Here is something you may not have thought of before…

God trusted you with the gifts, talents and passions you have been given.  God has placed faith in you with every glorious opportunity and every challenge or burden you have ever faced, even those you didn’t think you could handle.

This is not something I say casually, nor is it something you should “skate by” without really exploring the profound nature of a co-creative relationship that began long before most of us can or will ever remember.

If you have really given yourself permission to take this all in, you will be feeling humbled right about now.  Honored.  Excited.  Maybe you are even a little nervous (which is soul-level excitement interpreted by the ego as fear).

Although you have been conditioned to question your faith, deny your intuition and ignore many forms of inspiration, you possess the power to go deeper within (to your core essence, intelligence and Divine Design) and higher above, in both perspective and perception of identity.

Are you experiencing a sense of frustration and stuckness and wish to take steps forward?

What would it feel like if your EGO was fully in service to your SOUL...instead of FIGHTING AGAINST IT?

Are you unsure of whether fear is motivating you (or demotivating you) and yet know that you authentically wish to be grounded in faith, aligned with God's WILL, rather than your humanly conditioned will?

Imagine Your Will Aligned with the Divine's...

Imagine being able to get the inspiration from your Soul and your right, creative brain to INITIATE strategy and actions in your left brain...with your body, mind and spirit truly working together to help you show up brilliantly in your life...

This is the focus of our next five-week Soul’s Journey Into Expression Series, centered on Aligning with Your Divine Design;  a transformational and expansive journey that will open you to receiving Creator's vision of the service most aligned with your soul path and the contributions you have been uniquely created to make in the lives of others…beginning with yourself.
