Hi everyone! September is here! For me, as a one-time teacher in the education system and long time student, it feels like this will always be the ‘real’ beginning of a new year rather than January 1st. My invitation to you is that you make this year one that is filled to the brim with opportunities to bring what you were born to bring to this feast called Life, claiming your own life at another level. Please join me in exploring this further...
Share the Gifts YOU were Born to Express Your work is to discover your life and with all your heart to give yourself to it.” -- Buddha When you claim your life, a life grounded in your own body which lives in the present moment, you discover your deepest self beyond the conditioned mind. As you integrate Presence into your life, you naturally share with the world your unique gifts that emerge from this rich foundation. You can express these natural gifts in a myriad of ways that bring you pleasure - and not just through a chosen career path. The challenge can be to fully express these gifts with your life partner, your family members, and your friends because it is particularly in these close relationships where we might be emotionally triggered. Expressing the gifts that are uniquely flowing through you wherever you are as you move through your day is your spiritual practice that takes time and energy to integrate. This is a path of the heart because it isn’t about skills that you’ve learned; it’s about qualities that you live. And it feels wonderfully satisfying, a win/win experience, to express what we're naturally good at to benefit others. It is the way that we express Love. I have spent years in personal development, claiming the field as a passion that has propelled careers in education, counselling, and now coaching. I get both personally and professionally that simply focusing on self - one's own happiness, well-being, success, and spiritual serenity - does not satisfy our deepest longing. In that paradigm, the focus is about ‘getting’ and that essentially does not work. It can lead us down a path of self-indulgence, resistance to 'what is', frustration, resentment, and emptiness. The real shift happens when we focus on giving. Not so we forget ourselves and give out of a 'should' or a 'have to'. Not that we give what we really don't want to give. We give because we are connected to Love/Presence and are sharing what comes naturally to us. The giving comes from an inner confidence - that natural expression of who we truly are that flows through us to others. It happens when we get out of the way of our own personal identity that we call 'me'. It happens when, as Byron Katie would say who developed The Work, we stay in our own business, taking back our projections and expectations. It happens when we stand in our own power, feeling the energy that is there to be felt, without the story so the flow of Life moves through us into our world - effortlessly. Simply being us, simply giving, simply living. Today, I invite you to notice the feedback that you receive from others. Discover the clues that point you toward identifying the gifts within you that are meant to be expressed. Because they come so naturally to us, we often don’t see them except as they are mirrored to us by others. How can you expand the sharing of these gifts, the true meaning of wealth?
