Learn to tune into your soul and find your way to your life purpose. In this episode, Kim Star and Geneva Robins chat about the steps you can take to find your purpose.

Using your gifts, skills, and talents to help others can bring a deep sense of fulfillment. Maybe your purpose is something you don’t get paid for but is still incredibly valuable. It’s not a job description; it’s an energy.

Feel your way there through the deep calling in your heart. It might change throughout life. It is a fluid energy in your soul. It’s not “out there” in the future; it is an energy that is present within you all along.

When you’re aligned with yourself, you can see a pattern by looking at themes of service that you get pulled into by seeking and following your interests and following the call of the heart.

Energy work can help you Connect to Your Purpose

Reiki can help you connect to the wisdom of your soul where your purpose lives. Receiving an energy healing session like Reiki can help you get energetically clear so you can clearly hear the calling of your spirit.

Reiki opens the doorways of light that lead you in the direction that is meant for you. A magical light turns on to lead you on your way. When you let go of layers in Reiki sessions to create an opening and flow for you to find your way.

Be willing to follow the wisdom in your heart and stop holding yourself back from the brave thing you are meant to create. Following the energy can lead you to an array of wonderful experiences and lead you to your purpose in the most wonderful way.

As soon as you are willing to live a life of greater fulfillment and service, the Universe opens up to show you the way. You may not always know how it is going to play out, but if you are willing to follow the lead of the energy, it will take you to great places and adventures.

Helpers and Healers, Start with Yourself

Be your first and best client for your own products and services. All healing is self-healing. When you are doing your own self-care, you become a better healer and helper for others. The Energetic Eight Business School and Energetic Eight Coaching can help you to activate your authentic dreams and goals in a way that is supported by the energy of your purpose.

It is vulnerable to do what you really want to do. As soon as you have found your purpose, the little ego can kick up a fuss to stop or block your forward progress. Keep following the light, even if it feels scary to the ego. Vulnerability is very normal when you are doing something important. But if you can move past that momentary discomfort and distraction, you actually feel best when you are following the path rather than avoiding it.

The feeling of fulfillment and deep inner peace and grounded openness only happens when you take those tiny brave steps forward. Support and cheer yourself as you take those steady steps forward, even if it is only five minutes a day – forward is forward. When you are moving forward on your soul purpose, even in a small way, the Universe opens up and brings you more opportunities, energy and ideas than you can even believe would have been possible.

When you are in a small way, just letting yourself go with it, it opens up more light for everyone. We are all connected, so if you bring your ideas and creations to the world, it creates more light and inspiration for others.

If in Doubt, Follow the Flow of Joy

Your heart lights up when you are on your best path and that brings more light for everyone. And it could be so simple and joyful. Your purpose flows from that centre of joy. It’s often what comes naturally to you and something that brings you energy. It’s not all hard work, but often is the thing that makes your heart sparkle.

That joyfulness is the self-sustaining energy in your purpose that keeps bringing you back again and again. When we stop resisting the pull of the soul, a huge amount of energy gets released that brings balance and peace. The energy of your purpose is inside of you; you can never get away from it.

What if you don’t have any idea what your purpose is?
Make a list of everything that interests you, even in a tiny way. Follow up on all bits of curiosity. Try teeny, tiny samples of experiences you are interested in, small in time and small in dollar investment. Approach this search as a giant game of warmer-colder. Try a tiny experience and then see how you feel.

You have to play with the universe. The Universe will send you an energy that is expansive, fresh, forward, light, and steady. As you explore the world and what sparks curiosity within you, you start to move around and gain new insights and information.

Pay particular attention to how you feel. As you sample life, your inner being will open up and resonate when you are engaged in actions that are on the path. It might not always be linear or logical, but if you continue to make small steps forward you end up being lead on an incredible journey of inner discovery. If nothing else, you’ll lead a life full of joyful moments and playful curiosity. Your bucket list will empty and refill many times over!

Moving forward can scare the pants off you!

Vulnerability happens when you are doing something new and important. But leaning away from that vulnerability is way worse, that feels like stagnation and getting stuck. But when you tune into the wisest part within you, it is never afraid of your purpose. It just feels like freedom when you move toward it. the more you anchor yourself in that internal wisdom, the less and less scary it all gets. Following  your path releases energy and feels nourishing and encouraging.

If it’s joyful, then it’s the work. It doesn’t always have to make sense.

What have you healed from?

Sometimes your purpose can be found in what you have worked through. It might not always be the peak experiences, but helping others with something that you yourself have also known. You have hard-won compassion for anyone else in that spot. Things you have experienced, your struggles, and things you have overcome can be transformational moments that lead you on the path of purpose. You can use that energy and all those lessons in a way that can help others.

Making money or not – your soul’s purpose is eternal and valuable all on its own.
