 “The important thing is this: to be able, at any moment, to sacrifice what we are for what we could become” – Maharishi Mahesh Yogi I imagine you have big doubts and fears about your life path. These doubts and fears have been a part of my dharmic path too. I am intimately aware of all the pains, disappointments and struggles you've encountered on your life path journey because I know them personally! The challenges I have faced on my own dharmic path have been brutal, discouraging and overwhelming at times. My sensitivity and health challenges effected me emotionally and mentally. The special needs of my physical body and my deep spiritual connection seemed to be big set backs. But now, I have much more clarity about my struggles and pains. In fact, I see them as my biggest gifts, assets and strengths now! The reality is, this the only way I can actually live my dharma. Are you still encountering disappointments, sorrows and discouragement at every turn? Do you feel far away from your dreams, visions and goals? Are you losing hope? Is your desire to align with purpose fading? I know you have big desires, hopes, and visions for your self and your one precious life. But why haven't they arrived yet? Why is it so hard to both live the life you love and do meaningful work in this world? I know it isn't for lack of hope, dreams and desire. You have plenty of these! So why haven't these visions of yours fully materialized? Why aren't you doing work that inspires you and the world? Work that aligns with your passions and purpose- everyday?! The truth is, your challenges, obstacles, setbacks, struggles and most of all, your limiting beliefs, are keeping you in the dark. Your challenges are standing in your way and keeping you from living your dharma, rather than using them to change, transform and heal. Your old stories are keeping you from living your gifts, and sharing them with others. These old beliefs and stories are truly keeping you from living your powerful dharmic purpose! But here's the exciting part: Right now, you are likely letting your struggles and challenges keep you from doing what you love and from sharing your gifts with the world- yet these obstacles can also share vital details about your dharmic path. You need these struggles to show you the way, to help you create a path of meaning and purpose. The hardest parts of your journey are actually the most valuable resources you have for awakening your path, your dharma. This step of the Dharma Awakening process is about identifying and confronting your challenges and obstacles head on, while also courageously looking at parts of your story that are keeping you living small and staying powerless. The story of your life started a long time ago. Your familial vows are holding you subconsciously in loyalty to your lineage and their paradigm. There are many clues wrapped up in your personal mythology and stories, but you must know how to unravel them. In my podcast below, I walk you through some potent steps for awakening and changing your obstacles and challenges. More importantly, I give you creative resources in order to use your obstacles and challenges to make lasting life change. If you're really ready to step forward, to dance into, and to re-create your powerful, abundant and dharmic existence, you have to be fully aware of your stories. Then you can re-write and change it! I'm here to help you write and re-write your life, to get you moving swiftly onto your path of passion, joy and increase your potent creativity. This is the only way to create and sustain a potent and powerful life of meaning. Get out your journal, drawing supplies and dancing feet for this one- and prepare to identify what's holding you back head on! Identifying and Confronting What Is. Listen to the podcast below to help you go a bit deeper with the Dharma Awakening process. You've now identified areas of your life that you are passionate about and also threads from your family that may be gifts for your path. These are seeds that can be awakened, nurtured and nourished into bigger and bolder offerings. I know there are still obstacles and challenges that are holding you back though. Many of your gifts are disguised and perhaps shadowed. There may be resistance and refusal to make life changes. In order to change your life once and for all, you must uncover the obstacles that are holding you back. In the podcast below, you will draw, move, and harvest using your challenges and emotional struggles. This is a powerful resource for transforming and changing resistance, feeling stuck, confused, unclear and more. Don't skip this step! Set aside at least 45 minutes for this vital process and consider this a sacred part of your dharmic transformation and change process. In this podcast, I will address some of the blocks, vows and challenges that are holding you back from courageously moving forward with your wild and passionate life.
