Discover Your True Calling through Internal Alignment
Releasing the blocks to living in alignment with my soul has been an intense and transformative journey over many years.
In the early days there were moments of bliss when everything clicked into place but they would rise and fall with unnerving frequency!
However, the more I’ve worked consciously with the alchemy of life, the more I’ve experienced a seamless alignment with my authentic self as the individual space through which my true calling pours.
Unexpected Challenges
There have been plenty of unexpected challenges along the way; some of these were major and dramatic, others more mundane and every day.
Yet, the inner impulse towards truth and freedom has been so strong that nothing has deterred me from this path of creative self-realization for long.
Aligning All Aspects
The most powerful breakthroughs on my journey have come from the profound impact of aligning all aspects of myself – body, emotions, mind and soul.
This internal alignment has led me to become increasingly intuitive and creative, and to develop my aptitude for insight and clarity.
The process continues to unfold and is revealing ever deeper levels of my life’s work as a mentor, teacher and author.
Mentoring seems to be in my DNA as looking back I realize it’s a role I’ve naturally played (and loved) both personally and professionally all my adult life.
The more aligned I become, the more positive and powerful the impact of my work seems to be.
A Foundation for Everything
In fact, internal alignment has opened up so much for me and the wonderful creative souls I work with that it’s become a foundation for everything I teach.
This is so that everyone has the opportunity to learn how to express themselves creatively and authentically, realize their full potential and tap into their true calling in life.
Alignment 101
Like so many things, the principles of internal alignment are simple; yet living the truth of them consciously and creatively on a daily basis can be the immensely rewarding journey of a lifetime.
Aligning all aspects of yourself incorporates more than simply bringing your head and heart onto the same page although that’s certainly an extremely high priority.
The way I teach internal alignment includes adding your body and soul into the mix.
Research Confirms
Research confirms that moving your body and opening up positive emotions like joy and gratitude directly boost your creativity amongst many other benefits.
When you also interrupt the regular chatter of your everyday thought stream and connect with “greater awareness” in whatever way makes sense for you, a deep space of truth opens up within you.
This is the source of the unlimited potential that is the “Holy Grail” if you’re drawn to a conscious approach to creativity as a way of being as well as something you do.
Try this:
- Body – make it a priority to relax and energize your physical body by going for a short walk, doing some yoga or simply doing a few stretches to prepare yourself before tackling any creative projects.
- Emotions – trigger positive feelings like joy, gratitude, confdence and compassion by remembering a time when you felt those emotions and re-creating the feelings as part of your creative groundwork.
- Mind – clear space in your mind for deep insight to rise to the surface using any type of simple meditation practice such as focusing on your breath to settle the self-talk your everyday mind adores.
- Soul – open yourself to divine inspiration by closing your eyes and turning your palms upwards to invite the creative impulse of life itself to flow through your thoughts, words and actions.
Making time for some degree of inner preparation before you take outer action with your personal and professional creative projects means that your insights and ideas arise from the free space beyond your conditioned mind.
This is the way to create and write what you’re here to create and write, and ultimately to discover your true calling and live in alignment with your soul.
