In part one of this series, I shared with you some of my favourite tips and suggestions that can help you to connect with your purpose. I’ve found that the key to unlocking your intuitive gifts and coming into alignment with your Soul’s purpose is connecting with your OWN higher guidance.
So in part 1 we looked at some key ideas and clues for contemplation to help guide you in making that connection. As well as looking at how the relationships in your life contribute to your higher purpose. Read part 1 here.
In this second part, I want to share another important way that you can empower yourself to come into greater alignment with your higher purpose.
Comparing signs that you have connected with and are embodying your higher purpose, to indicators that you haven’t quite yet, can be an insightful exercise. It can help you to understand and get really clear on where you are already in alignment, and which areas to focus on to help you clearly connect with your higher guidance.
You will know which indicators apply to you and what passions or activities make you feel this way (or don’t!) - these would be good areas to journal or meditate on, so that you can feel into what your intuition and Soul is communicating to you.
How your Higher Purpose FEELS when it comes online
It doesn’t feel like work – it feels like passion, bliss and creativity. You could do it all day every day and never feel bored.
It’s all consuming and nourishing – it has it’s own mini eco system! You feel fulfilled when you’re living your purpose.
Connecting with your purpose helps you to transmute your challenges into your greatest gifts of gold.
It normally comes with a beautiful healing and heart opening of some kind i.e. putting down addictions, breaking through depression. A deeper sense of purpose & belonging.
It’s actually a channeling state. It comes from your SOUL. You lose track of time completely.
You look back on your life and everything starts to make a lot more sense….
“When you connect with your Higher Purpose, it doesn’t feel like work – it feels like passion, bliss and creativity. You could do it all day every day and never feel bored.”
Indicators that you haven’t yet connected with your purpose
You dread going to work – or are ‘putting up’ with your work situation because it pays the bills.
You are in your comfort zone, not your zone of mastery/genius.
You’re living your life consciously or unconsciously trying to fulfil someone else’s dreams for you OR get acceptance from them – for example, your parents, partner etc.
You are clinging onto status, job titles or other titles, ego identities, social conditioning, status related material possessions, rigid belief systems or are too much in separation consciousness.
You are piggy backing on someone else’s dreams, drive & ambition, you need to go into ‘the dark woods’ alone and spend time really getting in touch with what YOUR guidance and inner self is telling you. Only you can connect with the right path for you and your Soul.
You are not pushing out enough or are avoiding taking risks due to fears i.e. financial insecurity, fear of what other people will think of you, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of being able to cope emotionally, fear of being too busy.
You are wearing masks still, trying to be who you think others want you to be, or to fulfil a fantasy of how you want to come across instead of simply being your true authentic self (This may especially be a challenge for you if you have lots of 7’s in your Soul Purpose profile!)
You are stuck in victim consciousness – either blaming others for how your life has been or self pity. Also low self worth: “WHO ME? I couldn’t possibly do that…”
By comparing the clues that will help you to figure out when you are on the correct path, on your way to coming into greater alignment with your purpose, and the indicators that you haven’t yet fully connected with your purpose, you can be empowered to hear and follow the direction that your own Soul and higher guidance is calling you to take.
I hope you find these suggestions for contemplation useful.
