One of the most powerful clues on how you are meant to help the world, is to ask yourself the following question,
What has my life trained me to be?
I first heard this question from my priestess teacher and mentor, Elayne Kalia Sophia. She reminded me that the most important training is not the training that you go to school for, but rather the training that your life has provided for you.
The truth is that you teach what you came here to learn. For instance, my life’s work is about helping others connect with their Soul, and my life has trained me, through various challenging times, to listen to my Soul above everyone else’s (including my ego’s) voice.
The biggest struggles I faced in life where those instances when the outside world told me to go in one direction, but my Soul insisted that I take the “road less traveled”. Getting a divorce, leaving an established career, following alternative healing routes to my daughter’s unexpected illness–those have all been incredibly difficult journeys of saying yes to my Soul’s guidance above the voice of my ego.
Going through these initiations, and seeing the beautiful results that arose out of my decision to say yes to my Soul, awoke a wisdom and compassion within me that no formal training could have accomplished.
And now, I can see that those life experiences are the training that serve me the most when I am helping my clients heed the voice of their Soul above all the voices that try to convince them to ignore that inner wisdom. And, of course, as I teach them to do this, I learn this as well.
So, my dear, right now, reflect on the following questions:
- When you look back on your life’s biggest challenges what has been a common theme?
- What struggles have you faced that make you better able to show compassion and care for others?
- What is the one emotion that you most commonly struggle with? Anger? Worry? Fear? Guilt? Can you begin to see that this is training you to help others who are struggling with this emotion as well.
- What has your life trained you to be?
If you have the courage to hear the answers, the guidance will come.
Your Soul’s medicine is needed now. Say yes to your Soul’s guidance, commit to do what you came here to do. Remember no one else can do this, and it will bring you great joy and fulfillment as well as bless the world.
Blessings,
Lisa
