“The Magic of Discovering Your Soul’s Purpose”
Welcome back to the January 2016 Edition of Spiritual Growth Monthly. I’m Kevin Schoeninger. It’s great to have you with us here at SGM! In this week’s message, I’ll guide you to discover and align with your Soul’s Purpose as the truest and most effective way to activate your highest genetic potential.
So far this month, we’ve learned how the DNA in your cells responds to the environment around them—including your thoughts, feelings, and actions, as well as toxins and nutrients in your physical surroundings. You have a huge library of genetic potentials which are activated and de-activated according to your lifestyle choices and ways of being in the world.
The secret to activating and supporting your highest genetic potential is to align your life with who you are and what you are here to do—to live your soul’s purpose!
Now, that may feel exciting or it may feel like a daunting task—or some of both. Life presents us with so much to focus on and so much to do. Trying to live your soul’s purpose may feel like a tall order in the midst of all that!
Yet, what if living in alignment with your soul’s purpose is the way to filter the complexities of life down to the essentials? What if that is how you know what to focus on, what to choose, and what to do? What if that is the key to lowering your stress and manifesting what you’ve always wanted?
What if Aligning With Your Soul Purpose is the most important thing you can do to be healthy, live with energy and joy, and activate your highest genetic potential?
In today’s meditation, I’ll guide you on a meditative journey to connect with what your soul truly desires and specific ways to manifest that in the world. We’ll begin by tapping into your Core Values. Then, we’ll observe these at work, in relationships, and self-care. And we’ll finish by discovering actions, habits, and daily rituals that align you with your Core Values and support you to fully live your Soul’s Purpose!
Life is about the choices we make with the time and resources we’re given. What amazing things could happen if you lived your life focused on your Core Values and daily rituals that supported them?
You can follow along with the guided audio in Part B of the recording above.
Enjoy!
Guided Meditation Script:
“Aligning with Your Soul Purpose”
In this meditation, I’ll guide you to align your life with who you are and what you are here to do—to live your soul’s purpose!
If you will, please join me in sitting comfortably upright with the soles of your feet flat on the floor and parallel with each other. Rest your hands, palms down, on your legs. Lightly close your eyes. Imagine a string attached to the top of your head drawing your spine gently upright.
Notice how you feel with your feet on the ground, your hands relaxed, and your spine upright and aligned. Notice how it feels to be grounded, relaxed, and sitting tall. This posture prepares you to envision and realize your highest potential.
Now, in this grounded, relaxed, and empowered posture, call to mind someone or something you deeply admire and value. It could be a person, a thing, an activity, or an event. Choose just one for now. . .
As you hold that person or thing in mind, notice what it is that you admire or value most. What qualities or attributes? What is it that attracts you? What is most essential and valuable?
Name one to four most important qualities or attributes that you admire and value. These are your Core Values. . .
Now, call to mind moments in your life in which you have exemplified these Core Values.
First, recall a time when you exemplified them in your work or service outside the home. . .
Next, recall a time when you exemplified these qualities in your family or relationships. . .
Finally, recall a time when you exemplified these qualities in your personal practices and self-care. . .
Now, imagine yourself at the end of your life looking back, taking stock of your legacy in relation to your Core Values:
How would you like to be remembered for your work or service outside the home?. . .
How would you like to be remembered in your family and close relationships? . . .
How would you like to be remembered for your personal practices and self-care?. . .
Now, bring your mind to the present and, to the best of your ability, be objective and non-judgmental as you evaluate your present alignment with your Core Values:
How would you evaluate your life at work or service outside the home in terms of your Core Values?
How would you evaluate your family life and close relationships in terms of your Core Values?
How would you evaluate your personal practices and self-care in terms of your Core Values?
Living your Core Values aligns you with your Soul’s Purpose. How would you like to better live your Core Values at work or in service outside the home? What would you enjoy doing?
What is one positive action step you are ready to take right now in this area? How could you make this a daily habit or ritual that you enjoy?
How would you like to better live those qualities you admire and value in your family and close relationships? What would you enjoy doing?
What is one positive action step you are ready to take right now in this area? How could you make this a daily habit or ritual that you enjoy?
How would you like to better live those qualities you admire and value in your personal practices and self-care? What would you enjoy doing?
What is one positive action step you are ready to take right now in this area? How could you make this a daily habit or ritual that you enjoy?
Now, project yourself out in your imagination, five, ten, twenty years.
What might happen in your work, your relationships, and your personal health and well-being if you do not take these action steps?
What amazing things could happen in your work, your relationships, and your personal health and well-being if you do take these action steps? How would that feel?
Imagine yourself taking this action at work and how it will feel to arrive at the result you desire.
Imagine yourself taking this action in your close relationships and how it will feel to arrive at the result you desire.
Imagine yourself taking this action of personal practice and self-care and how it will feel to arrive at the result you desire.
Record these positive feelings in every cell of your body so you can remember them and return to them whenever you need.
Slowly, open your eyes and take in the space around you.
Life is about the choices we make with the time and resources we’re given. What amazing things could happen if you made your Core Values and the actions that express them the focus of your life?
Take a moment to write down your positive action steps and schedule them in your planner. Design daily rituals around them to make them a sacred part of your life that you enjoy.
Well done!
