What does
it mean to open to sacred purpose? This is a question often asked
when individuals register for one of Venus Rising's Sacred Purpose
Workshops. I usually tell them that somewhere deep inside they already
know what it means or most likely they would not be attracted to
the subject matter. In fact, they are probably right on the verge
of discovering that they are much more than who they think they
are and are getting ready to step into a "bigger picture."
Many people
have settled for the so-called status quo and some are still trying
to get there. However, there is a whole new breed of souls who are
divinely discontented with what they have or who they have been
thus far in this incarnation. They are truly ready to remember their
original intent for coming to planet earth in the first place.
At first
this may feel like a gentle nudge or feelings of restlessness around
the daily routine. Some people say they feel "called"
by an inner voice or some outer circumstance and synchronicity to
wake up. This awakening feels like coming out of a dreamlike or
fog state and suddenly becoming more aware and alert in your being.
Opening
to Sacred Purpose is something that everyone has access to, but
it takes a lot of courage to choose to explore this opening. The
ego's agenda and the soul's purpose may actually be at cross-purposes
with each other which can be quite disruptive to one's life. It
is only those who are already committed to a spiritual path, or
those who are experiencing deep discomfort with their present way
of being, that are willing to open up more fully.
In a nutshell,
being open to your Soul Purpose means listening to and stepping
into who it is you truly are in your heart at any given moment.
Sometimes a person suddenly realizes that a theme has run through
their entire life leading up to a cataclysmic moment where they
now know "this is what I am here to do." Sometimes we
realize that yesterday's soul purpose is today's ego agenda. In
other words, we keep growing, and as we spiral around the great
wheel of change our soul's purpose will also keep evolving.
More and
more people are not willing to settle for an ego bound life. We
see hundreds of individuals each year who are consciously beginning
to co-create their lives with a higher power, what we refer to as
their Inner Shaman. Many are awakened to this greater reality through
the powerful healing journey of the Shamanic Breathwork Process,
offered at most of our workshops. As one person put it, "Once
you do Shamanic Breathwork you cannot go back to sleep and
if you try to you will be miserable." That is why we often
say to individuals
"do not breathe with us if you want
things to stay the same in your life!" This is a highly transformational
process; the Soul will emerge and your ego will have to deal with
it.
The good
news is that once you surrender your ego and begin to learn how
to trust the process things get easier and life gets a lot more
interesting. The truth is that "what you bring forth will save
you, and what you do not bring forth will destroy you" (attributed
to Jesus Christ teachings).
So, what
are you waiting for? Are you ready to know more about why you are
here? Are you ready to let go of that which stands in your way of
truly being in right relationship to your higher self and higher
power? Are you ready to know with your whole being that you are
here for a reason and that your life has meaning? If the answer
to these questions is "yes", then congratulations - you
are already on the path of the heart and on your way to true self-discovery.
We too are
on that very same path of direct inner experience and look forward
to seeing many of you along the way as we all journey together.
