I had an interesting conversation recently with one of my clients who told me that she realised that she had been following what she termed as her ‘shadow purpose’. She told me how she realised that she had been doing things all her life that she was good at and that she enjoyed to a point but that actually when she went inward she realised that it wasn’t what truly made her heart and Soul sing.
She told me that because she was good at the things she did, she pursued them but only ever got so far, never fully realising her full potential, never fully allowing her Soul to guide her and never actually being the limitless creative being that she knows deep within she really is.
This client has been having regular healing sessions with me for some time and this for her was a big realisation. Her insight got me thinking and wondering too, had I spent a lot of my life following my ‘shadow purpose’ ? I can see that I probably wouldn’t be able to work at the level I work with healing if I hadn’t walked the path I have walked. I needed insight into medicine as a nurse and then in different areas of medical sales to give me greater insight into medicine and the pharmaceutical and medical device industries in order for me to understand healing on a much deeper level. When I looked at this with an open heart I realised that for me it wasn’t a shadow purpose, it was part of my purpose, preparing me for my true purpose which is where I am now.
However, when I look around at the world so many people are doing things because they have to, or because they need the money, or because thats all they can get. They get up in the morning, go to work, come home , have something to eat, watch the television, go to bed and start the cycle all over again. Are these people happy? Not from what I have seen but they believe that life is hard and that this is all there is, because they are in a place of lack.
In fact people have become so programmed to believe in lack that this what they see all the time. So that means that because they believe in a lack of jobs, a lack of money, a lack of food, a lack of housing thats exactly what they see all around them. Sadly what they have failed to realise is that by believing in all of these things you help to create them!
At the moment as a collective consciousness we are still in a very big place of lack because people have been programmed to believe that, and yet we live in an abundant universe where we, as limitless beings of love, have the potential to manifest absolutely anything and everything that we want and need, providing that it is for our highest good.
So why are we in such a place of lack? The reason is because people have lost their connection with their heart centre and focused too much on their ‘ego self’ instead of looking at the bigger picture. People look outside of themselves instead of going within. They get the latest gadgets and gismos or they move to a bigger house or get a newer car and they still don’t find the peace and happiness that they are looking for. Why? Because we need to find it within ourselves before we can create it around us.
Everywhere you go and look there are advertisements encouraging you to buy bigger and better cars, houses, gismos, gadgets and then you are encouraged to borrow money to be able to do that. All of this is continuing to feed into the sense of lack and yet when you open your heart and start to look at what you have and whom you have around you, you realise that abundance was already right on your doorstep!
Indeed when I was chatting to a friend the other day he said to me that everything we need is right here with us, right under our noses and yet most people go beyond themselves to look for happiness. Happiness is a state of being that comes with an open heart and a willingness to connect with yourself and your Soul on a deep level. The only person that can make you happy is you! No one else can do this for you! No amount of money, or a big house or posh car can do this for you either. The only way to find true happiness is to open your heart and connect with the energies of pure love, unconditional love, the love that knows no bounds and when you do this then you can create the world you want to live in.
The most important thing for all of us to be willing to do at this time is to go inward and open our hearts and connect with the energies of unconditional love and compassion. When we show unconditional love and compassion to ourselves, we are then able to show unconditional love and compassion to others. When we connect with the energies of unconditional love we are able to move further ‘on purpose because we are connected with our Soul which knows exactly what our true purpose is. So many people are following their shadow calling because they are disconnected from their Soul and the energies of unconditional love.
When we do what makes our heart sing we are doing what makes our Soul sing and so we are moving ‘on purpose’ . ( https://peaceful-living.co.uk/being-on-purpose/) When we do what we are good at but it doesn’t make our heart and Soul sing then we are following our shadow purpose. When we are stuck in the grind of doing something in order to make ends meet then we are totally disconnected with ourselves.
Lack originates from a lack of love for ourselves and a lack of connection with our Soul and Prime Creator ( Source) and then manifests as lack of what we need in the physical world.
When we open our hearts (https://peaceful-living.co.uk/removing-the-soul-blockage-to-move-you-onto-your-soul-purpose/ ) and reconnect with our Soul we can follow our true purpose and when we are on purpose everything flows and abundance effortlessly comes to us in all areas of our lives.
This time on Earth is very important and if you want to be able to truly move forward then you need to be willing to go inward, reconnect with your Soul and Prime Creator and the energies of unconditional love and then you will find that you will be moved into a place of abundance where your heart sings and everything that you could possibly need flows to you.
It takes courage to be willing to go within but the rewards are far greater than you could possibly find in the material world. We as a collective consciousness could change the Earth overnight if everyone was willing to take responsibility for themselves, their thoughts and actions and go inward to open their heart centre to reconnect with the energies of love.
When you reconnect with love you realise that there is a lot to be thankful for. When’s the last time you noticed a bird singing, or a flower coming into bud or the beauty of snow, or the delight on a child’s face as he/she swings on a swing. When did you last thank the universe for your family or the house that you live in, or the clothes that you wear or the food that you have to eat?
When we start to be grateful for what we already have the universe brings us more of what we want and need in our lives.
Love, compassion and gratitude are the three most important energies that we have to assist us on our paths and when we truly open our hearts and learn to be heart led, compassionate and grateful for everything that we already have we find ourselves moving more and more ‘on purpose’ with a continual flow of abundance.
There is no need for lack. There is no need for anyone to be ‘off purpose’. The answer is simple. Go inward and open your heart to the energies of divine love and there you will find the joy, peace and abundance that you have been seeking all this time by looking beyond yourself.
There is no greater energy than the energy of divine love for when we reconnect with it we reconnect with our greater self, the true self which is a limitless, creative being of divine love!
