I want to Share my "Gift"

I want to Share my “Gift”

Everyone has a “gift,” and sadly when I hear that statement I can usually count on the person also having a wounded ego.  I have yet to have someone come to me for a session saying something like “I am really good at cleaning houses and want to know if that is my Gift and if so, how to best use it and share with others to help them.” Normally people are sure that their “gift” is as an artist, healer, leader, animal communicator and numerous other new-age type “amazing” talents that might help bolster the low self-esteem of people looking for an external definition of who they are.   Just like past life readings, why it is everyone was a Priestess or Shaman in Atlantis. Who cleaned the toilets? Sigh.

The truth is everyone has gifts, more than one in fact. The first gift everyone has is your body. Care for it. So many self-proclaimed new-age healers/writers/channelers/artists etc. are grossly overweight (a horrible stressor for the body, and a terrible way to treat or honor one of your “gifts”). Others eat horribly, smoke (various substances), are sugar addicts, and drink to self-medicate and many have immune issues as a result such as diabetes, lupus, Epstein-Barr and fibromyalgia.  This brings us to a second gift that everyone has, a brain, with left and right hemispheres.  In addition to bonding and merging with Spirit, your Guides etc., Creator did not make a mistake by giving you a left brain. Use it! Educate yourself on how to care for your body, your addictions, your weight, your illness. Not everything can be, or is meant to be, “solved” by Spirit otherwise we would not have incarnated into a physical mass.  My Teacher has laughingly said, when asked about headaches, “Take an aspirin.”  No wonder new-age and spiritual type folks are sometimes seen as spaced out or “woo-woo.”  While I prefer complementary and alternative medicines, Western medicine was created for a reason as well (or do you think you know better than the Creator what should or should not be here on the planet.). When you cannot find someone to do psychic surgery, Western surgery can indeed save lives. Honor your body and your brain. Learn, get educated, and then develop Good Practice on taking care of the Self and the body that houses the Soul for this life. Start there. Be humble and do what is given to you by Spirit rather than going off on some grandiose notion of who you are or your mission.  Scrub toilets. Make your bed. Eat and rest well. Then when Spirit needs to use your energy, you will be functional (instead of battling illness, weight etc), and up and running in good shape to respond and Serve, balanced between Earth and Spirit, Body and Mind, Left Brain/Right Brain.  (Here is a GREAT 18 minute video https://www.ted.com/talks/jill_bolte_taylor_s_powerful_stroke_of_insight)

Your childhood is another Gift that everyone has been given. Do you think your childhood was a mistake, or something to be ignored or buried? You chose your childhood, while in Spirit form, with your Guides, for a Reason which is to evolve as a Soul. Ignoring your childhood issues is disrespecting your Guides, and your gift of incarnation. You are literally spitting on your Guides who worked with you to set up this entire lifetime of learning, starting with Childhood Experiences. Many spiritual types avoid the work of their personal path by making their “guides” more important than humans.  Why?  If you have not done work on your childhood you  have unresolved issues that typically involve fear of getting “hurt”, avoidance and boundary issues, grandiosity, the ability and the tendency to dissociate (leave your body, learned in childhood as a way to survive, rape, neglect, emotional abuse, abandonment).  This makes you vulnerable instead of balanced as you seek to avoid original work by making your invisible friends your primary relationships, comfort zone etc. This unbalanced relationship with Spirit Guides typically turns into emotional and ego based projections by you as you seek to avoid pain (unconsciously) and hide from vulnerability rather than being centered and balanced enough to receive Guidance (instead of receiving constant emotional comfort and ego gratification that needy wounded people are addicted to).

Another Gift everyone has is Spirit Guides.  You all have more than one and whether or not you “feel” them or “hear” them, they are there just like gravity is influencing you every day whether or not you are aware of it or not.  Not all Guides are incredible sacred beings that know more than you and none are here to do your work for you or to relieve you of the burden of talking to or being in relationships with humans. Some Guides are young Souls and are not that developed. Some are working off Karma via their relationship with you. If you are off center, unbalanced, you might unwittingly be working with some juvenile delinquent types or even darker energies/entities that were able to enter your energy field because you are not taking good practical care of your body and your energy field. (For example, getting high for recreation without setting up protections creates “cracks” in your field that allow others to get in, like ants, or mice will enter a house with holes.)  There are human sociopaths who convince others they are your soul mate/twin flame etc., well there are energy beings that can do the same.   Guides are just that, Guides.  They are not here to relieve you of the burden of using your left brain (when appropriate), to shield you from pain (which is a natural part of life and learning), or to be used to impress others by proving you can “channel.”  And Guides are not the Creator. There is a difference.

If you want to receive Guidance on how to use your “Gifts”, start looking right in front of your face rather than seeking out grandiosity so you can get endorsed to do what your ego desires.  If your family members are running over you and you are not setting boundaries, that is your “next class.” If you are not making a good living, job hunting could be the Guidance you are ignoring. If weight and health are in front of your face, deal with that. Do you think you are so powerful that if you start to take good care of your body/mind/energy field that you will “miss” your mission? That too is ego. If Spirit needs you for something, trust me, you WILL get the message (even sometimes in spite of being drunk or high).  If you are not getting a clear message, look again especially if you are attached to some outcome or goal regarding your “gift”, “mission,” “purpose” or any other concept that lends itself to grandiosity or new-age nonsense. If your residence or body is a mess, that is the message (you just don’t want to see it because it is not glamorous), clean it up. If you are an “artist” and living off of your grandmother’s social security check, maybe you need to get a job and help HER instead of sucking her dry so you can “live your dream”  (notice that is YOUR dream, not Spirit’s). Chop wood, carry water.  Do your life and do it excellently, mindfully, in all aspects. Leave your “mission” and “gifts” to Spirit. What is “meant to be” will drop in your lap, doors will open like a hot knife going through butter. In the meantime, look at your life, your body, your job skills, your knowledge about child rearing, boundaries, your depression or wounded childhood and take care of those. Why? Because they are already in your lap.  They are your Gifts or they would not be there.  

Journey On.
