The Soul Coach  

Who am I?  Why am I here?  What is my purpose in life?

These are some of the oldest and most important questions posed by human beings throughout history.  They become the most profound when an individual such as yourself begins to think and reflect on them.  Upon reading this workbook and doing some soul-searching, you will discover your own unique answers to these important questions.

The word purpose means to have intentional results.  When we are on purpose, we are making a conscious effort to be or create something.  Usually what we really want to be or do seems out of reach, impossible.  But we must remember that the word impossible with an apostrophe is actually I’m (I am) possible.  And you are! 

Dudley Lynch and Paul Lord is in their book Strategy of the Dolphin said this:  “We can define purpose  in several ways.  For one, when we know our purpose,we have an anchor--- a device of the mind to provide some stability, to keep the surprises of a creative universe from tossing us to and from, inflicting constant seasickness on us. Or we can think of our purpose as being a master nautical chart marking shoals and rocks.   Perhaps the most profound thing about being on purpose is that when that is our status, our condition, and our comfort, we find our lives have meaning, and when are off purpose we are confused about meanings and motives.  A clearly defined life purpose provides meaning, direction, and significance.

Your life purpose  answers two essential questions:

1.  Who do I want to be? 
   
2.  What do I want to do? 
   

When we are living from our true soul’s purpose, we feel more alive---filled with excitement, joy, and inner peace---in a word contentment. We are more connected to one another as human beings and more content with who we are and what we do. 

When we are on purpose , we tap into a higher power, we have supernatural support!  The best things in life seem to be naturally attracted to us. When we are not on purpose, we try to do it all alone!  We grasp at straws, every thing looks good whether it is a new job, going to school, moving, finding another lover anything to fill the void of the extreme emptiness we feel inside.  Not being on purpose leads to constant seeking--- external things to make you feel more fulfilled.  Being on purpose leads to effortless contentment---an internal peace with what is unfolding in your life.  You have a feeling of all is right with the world and I have an important part to play!

I just launched a new soul coaching program:   check it out  http://www.brightlightcoach.com/life-purpose.

Every human being has the universal purpose of learning how to love more.  Every human being has his or her unique purpose of helping to heal our planet and other people.  Planet Earth is the ultimate university for our souls, where you have the task of learning your lessons, showing love, and sharing gifts.  You can evolve yourself by understanding, accepting, and taking action to live out your universal and unique life purposes.  You were born to do something specific.  A role and opportunity was entrusted to you and you alone. If you don’t know your life purpose, you are still a diamond in the rough.

Discovering one’s life purpose is like cutting a diamond.  Every gem quality diamond has within it a ready-made design, waiting to be discovered.  So do you.  The secret is to discover and actualize your unique pattern.  Like a diamond needs to be excavated to have worth, you have to dig deep within yourself to discover your unique life purpose.  

Imagine a Woman   by Patricia Lynn Reilly

Imagine a woman who believes it is right and good she is a woman.  A woman who honors her experience and tells her stories.  Who refuses to carry the sins of others within her body and life.  Imagine a woman who trusts and respects herself.  A woman who listens to her needs and desires. Who meets them with tenderness and grace.

Imagine a woman who acknowledges the past's influence on the present.   A woman who has walked through her past.  Who has healed into the present. Imagine a woman who authors her own life.  A woman who exerts, initiates, and moves on her own behalf.  Who refuses to surrender except to her truest self and wisest voice.

Imagine a woman who names her own gods.  A woman who imagines the divine in her image and likeness. Who designs a personal spirituality to inform her daily life.

Imagine a woman in love with her own body.  A woman who believes her body is enough, just as it is.  Who celebrates its rhythms and cycles as an exquisite resource.

Imagine a woman who honors the body of the Goddess in her changing body.  A woman who celebrates the accumulation of her years and her wisdom.  Who refuses to use her life-energy disguising the changes in her body and life.

Imagine a woman who values the women in her life.  A woman who sits in circles of women.  Who is reminded of the truth about herself when she forgets.

Imagine yourself as this woman.

Are You on the Right Track to Career Fulfillment?     By Michelle L. Casto   Copyright November 2008


Change Happens

In life, there are two kinds of change:  voluntary and involuntary. 

1. The voluntary changes that we choose, like moving or changing careers we tend to like better because we chose them.
   

     2.  The involuntary, not so much, because it feels like it happens to us.

Career experts say we will change careers 7-10 times in a lifetime, so changing your career in not a failure, however staying in a career with no meaning is denying to your soul and cause for a lifetime of frustration and unfulfillment. 

Making a change means you are graduating with a new set of skills and knowledge and are ready to take on a new challenge.   (This is what the soul lives for!)

The #1 cause of stress is work-related.  A recent study showed that at least 75% of the working population is “actively disengaged” meaning that they show up in body, but definitely not in spirit.  I have coined a new term for the unique stress that this is-- “job dread.”  Job dread is that awful feeling inside where you detest the thought of being in that “cubicle” one more day.

Fear of anything = a lack of understanding.

Most people fear changing careers or starting a business because they don’t understand it. Once they learn the process, they feel brave and can move forward.   What I have seen as a life coach, is when you reach understanding, fear naturally fades away and a deep sense of “knowing” finds its rightful place inside your heart.

The other thing I know is that in order to experience more happiness in life requires one thing:

Change.  

Because if you were already happy, you would have everything you really wanted already. 

To be more happy, you can choose to make more positive life changes.  

I have been where you maybe, stuck in a job that was sucking the soul right out of me.  Fortunately for me, I decided to make some lasting changes and go for it by becoming self-employed many years ago.  It has not always been an easy road to hoe, however,  I would choose this over a “job” just over broke, any day of the week!

If you are reading this far,there is something within you that is emerging, will you call it forth and grow with it? 

The ultimate accomplishment is to discover yourself—your strengths, dreams, desires, and skills. And then to learn to put them to good use for the healing of yourself and others.

Doing what you don’t want to do in any area of your life, and especially your career is a drain to your life energy. 

Learn to unleash your passion, purpose, and power with Soul Coaching.

If you don’t feel like you are in the right place in the world, doing the work that is yours to do, fulfilling the role you were created to fill, then I can help you get back on the right track.

The master teacher, Jesus, said, “I am the light of the world” and that “You are the Light.”

Light is attractive. You too have a light that attracts….an inner light. Some people shine with joy. Others emit a ray of hope. Some glow with love. Still others shine with positive energy and enthusiasm. Be an inviting light and turn your light on. Be someone else’s ray of sunshine. Share a smile. Use words of encouragement. Write a sweet note. Practice random acts of kindness. Give a hug. When you allow people to see tour bright light and bask in your warm radiance, you reflect more of your divinity.

 

The 16th century Sufi poet Rumi wrote,

“For ages you have come and gone, courting delusion.
For ages you have run from the pain and forfeited the ecstacy.
So come, return to the root of root of your own soul.
Although you appear in earthly form
Your essence is pure Consciousness.
You are the fearless guardian of Divine Light.
So come, return to the root of the root of your own soul.”

 

So you have some big problems, right? You may have tried to fix them before with little result. I have good news. No matter how big or daunting a situation you find yourself in, you can transform it.

 

You come from Source, a loving, creative force. If you think like God and be like God, you realize the incredible power you have to create. Author of many amazing books, Dr. Wayne Dyer says, “Keep your thoughts centered on light and what you want, rather than on dark and what you don’t want. Practice seeing the light within you. Bring light thoughts to every circumstance of darkness. It is so common to do precisely the opposite when you do, you attract more illusions of the dark.”

 

Remember that you are part of Source, which is Light and Love.

Yurimen said, “Everything has a bright and dark side to it. Those who see only the dark side of things bring sorrow and pain upon themselves. To those who are able to see at the same time the bright side of it, everyday is a good day.”

 

Wake Up!

It’s time to become conscious about who you are and what you want out of life. A key activity in adulthood is looking at the basic beliefs that are running your life. And ask: Do these beliefs work? Do they bring me happiness?

 

Often, the answer is no, you adopted the belief under duress and it is no longer appropriate. If your life is not working, it is time to identify limiting beliefs and replace them with life affirming ones. So begins your education in spiritual wisdom.

 

Right now, a shift in consciousness is happening. We are graduating from the “old school” of living that was about education for personal gain, and money as the motivator, to the “new school” of enlightenment for humanity’s evolution, and Truth as the inspiration.

 

We are moving out of the darkness of unconsciousness, which is fear-based, closed, and mired in negative emotions to the light of consciousness, which is love -based, courageous, open, and overflowing with positive emotions.

Light and dark cannot cohabitate, so when you turn the light on, it dissipates the darkness. You can activate your own soul’s code that contains your manifest destiny by simply choosing to stop looking outside of yourself for salvation and start looking within.

 

The source within you manages energy to draw to you what you want.
Who you are is light. You are one with the source of creation. Therefore you are a creator. Source is unlimited. Therefore you are unlimited. Awaken from the things that scare you by shining a light on them. Scary ideas keep you stuck and living a mediocre, small, limited life. Inspirational ideas free you to live a great, big, unlimited life.

 

You can have more of what you want.
You only have to believe it and ask for it. There is an important reminder that God wants you to hear: anything you can imagine is yours to be, do, and have. It’s all there for the creating. What’s inside you is what creates what’s out there. You are in control. You create experiences, be they good or bad. You do it all. You are it all. You may as well get used to using divine powers to manifest what you want instead of what you don’t want.

 

The author of Power vs. Force, Dr. Hawkins says that, “what is meant by the term ‘soul’ is the capacity to experience life.” Are you experiencing life to the fullest extent possible and expressing your greatest potential? If not, working with a professional coach can assist you to sift through the dark silt of life and forge a bright, soul-fulfilled life.

 

You are a powerful soul with divine powers, such as the ability to give and receive love, manifest your desires, think analytically, experience feelings, and understand and learn your unique lessons. You are completely unique unto yourself---on the entire planet, there is only one light like yours.

You are the greatest miracle in the world. Activate. Be divine and shine your unique bright light to the world Now.

Spanish Poet, Antonio Machado once posed a poignant question, What have you done with the garden that was entrusted to you? This is a question that every aware and awakened human being on the planet must ask and answer for him or herself.

As we enter into the last few years leading to 2012, there is important work to be done by us all. University professor Dr. Michael Sharp has termed 2012, the Great Awakening, and many other experts have predicted the fall of dualistic and hierarchical paradigms, giving rise to a new way of living and being in the world. Some even claim we are undergoing a planetary ascension process. Jean Houston has called this a unique time in history and acknowledges that “we are life of God, individuated.” Astrologer, Allison Rae, claims that “2012 is code for a quantum shift point, the transition between the old and the new and that it’s personal, planetary and cosmic meaning is stored in the cellular memory of every living begin on the planet, as well as the Earth herself.” Self ascension teachers Sri Ram and Kira Kaa, in their book 2012: You Have a Choice, “We are at the time of culmination and in that time is the opportunity for renewal and reunion. Now more than ever, we are called to trust our divine nature and experience true clarity.”

Science and religion have long debated each other. All that is now changing because Quantum Physics is proving much of what the ancient masters have been teaching since the beginning of recorded time—that everything is energy and that we have the power to co-create our reality. Everything that we thought we knew about this life, humanity, and the afterlife has been turned upside down to cause us to look again. So what does that mean to you, dear one? Where do you look?

Jesus has already told us….seek ye first the kingdom of heaven and then everything will be given unto you. Begin by looking within and seeing the bright light that you are! Realize the incredible unlimited power and presence that you were been born to be and start being that light.

Traditional religions have taught that God is separate from us and that we have to act a certain way to gain his favor. The Truth as it is taught in Unity is that God created you in his/her image and you are one with all of creation. And that there is only presence in the world--- God who is good, and one power, which is Love. What Goddess wants for you is to reclaim your I am presence and co-create heaven on earth

Becoming a Divine Human is an idea whose time has truly come. Joseph Campbell has said, Eden was not, Eden Is. Or put another way, Paradise is not near, it is Here. Modern human beings can choose to have our lives reflect the Garden of Eden, but we must create it out of our own consciousness and tend to it with our intentions.

When you accept this call, you also accept the fact that you are now held responsible for your creations. Know that whatever you think, you attract. Whatever you believe, you create. Whatever you know, you become. You and your thoughts affect everyone else on the planet. So allow your thoughts, words, and actions to be DIVINE.

When becoming a divine human, you will notice how much easier you shift from fear, anxiety, and lack to love, peace and an abundance consciousness. You also begin to live on God’s side of the page, living out your divine destiny. You gracefully let go of aspects of life that no longer work, and view death and dissolution of old identities and ideas as natural occurrences that prepare you for a transformational rebirth. In essence, you turn away from the ways of the world and look towards the light that is radiating from your very soul.

You finally ‘get smart,’ and recognize that the curriculum for your enlightenment is your life. You no longer mistakenly look outside of yourself for answers, and instead find everything you are seeking within. You certainly do a lot less, and just “be” present in each moment to share more love. Your mind becomes relaxed, your heart opens, your senses become acute, your intuition activated, and you are truly turned on, tapped in, and tuned in to Infinite Intelligence.

When you are still in a trance, you have lost yourself and paradise. Paradise has always existed, however you have failed to see it. At this stage in your spiritual development, the ascension process can feel like a bad dream that you keep having over and over where you crash your car. Since you insist on being in the driver’s seat, your ego thinks it is still in charge and goes into full resistance to seeing the light of the Truth.

When you awaken, you have found yourself and paradise once again. The veil has now been lifted and you see with new eyes the beauty all around. At this stage in your spiritual development, the ascension process is like a dance, because it is a way you can be in the world where everything is communication from the divine. You learn to respond in a graceful way, allowing yourself to be led and guided. In other words, you surrender your control over your own life’s direction. This is a day to celebrate!

You did not come here to be asleep at the wheel. You came here to experience the magical dance between your human self and your divine self, to be used by a power greater than yourself, in order to spread more love and light. It is always your choice to say Yes.

And right now, the divine is asking You, Shall we dance?
