Let me ask you a few questions today. Are you being Real with yourself, and with the people around you? Do you feel you are living the fullest life you are here to live? Do you feel a sense that something is missing in your life? Are you in this world and "giving in" to this world? (In other words are you giving in to the worldly influences put out by the slick marketers?) Do you feel separate from something deep inside of yourself?
Good afternoon my friends, ahh… the life journey isn't it awesome? I have been doing a lot of work lately with people around this topic of "Essence" and "Connecting to your Essence".
Let's start with what Essence is. I am discovering that essence is the truth within, essence is what we are born with and the footprint we are given at birth. Essence is the power, whether it be God, a higher power, or any source you believe to be your power. The power that lives within and becomes buried behind fear, doubt, lack, and many other influences.
Why have we become so disconnected to our essence and why is it so important to connect to this? I have concluded that because essence is your truth, your soul, your birthright that it is not only important but necessary to re connect. We have become disconnected due to the world's view of reality, success, right and wrong and marketer's influences on us via the media. We look at and read about and see what appears to be the key to happiness, and success, peace and all we get is this feeling of disappointment, fear, doubts and lack, like we are behind in comparison to what is being said. We measure ourselves against what we see in the media.
The truth is the world has no idea what essence is all about for you. The other truth is the world has no idea how to access this so it is portrayed that to get this you must be wealthy, successful according to high standards, have all the best, cars, homes, boats, toys and money.
I know I have bought into this view many, many times and for many years. Believe me when I say "it doesn't work and it causes a lot of pain, pain that can paralyze and leave you in a state of deep depression. Therefore the reason it is so important to re connect with our essence is so that we can start living life. Living a joy filled and peaceful life free of outside influences that affect us negatively. Living life as our Power source meant for us to live.
The world is slowly moving in this new direction and we have a fantastic opportunity to be the leading catalysts in this movement towards truth and soul connection.
In my work with my clients we invest a lot of time in self re-discovery, digging deeper to mine the buried truths and treasures that yearn to be actualized. I guide people to discover the evolution of their essence. Once you know it is ok to dream, to be different, to honor your truest self no matter who or what then is when we can begin anew to re- discover how you may live the life you always felt and knew possible .
Please take today to ask these questions of yourself and then ask this.
If someone came up to me and asked me to (fill in whatever ideas come to mind here)__________. I would feel so awesome, so grateful, so excited, so powerful and so connected to my soul. I would respond with all my energy and efforts with no hesitation. There is no limit on this exercise; some people have 20 answers and some 1. Open your heart and dream if only for a few moments today. This one question could move you in a new direction today and who knows maybe for a lifetime.
