What is Your Art, Your Passion or Your Calling?

“Your art…is any way your unique true nature expresses itself in the world of Form. You track it by looking for moments in your life when you felt fascinated, lost in the act of creation.” ~ Martha Beck

The crisp air settles on my skin. I sit on the moist grass for my morning meditation. There’s something so etheric the early morning with its pale blue sky and birdsong. Mother Earth sings cool whispers of love. I sit, firmly rooted on the ground and I feel the peaceful Earth energy rising into my body, connecting to my heart centre and expanding my awareness.

Come rain or sunshine, this is how I begin each day. Being present in Nature is food for my soul. From as young as I can remember, I was a flower charmed nature soul. I would spend hours lost in play in gardens, parks, long rivers and in wild open velds. It’s little wonder that connecting with the Earth and harnessing inspiration, wisdom and healing energy from this Great Mother has become my ART. When I first began walking this path as a healer 2 years ago, I wasn’t sure how eco-spirituality would fit into my spiritual services, but I knew that it would happen at some stage. Now things seem to be falling into place and I am find ways to incorporate this with my other passions – spirituality and writing. I am excited about the changes that are in the works. I am excited about where this process is taking me. The BLOSSOM LIKE A FLOWER GODDESS ebook with be available for download next week. Also, In upcoming months I hope to have a few exciting new offerings to share.

In the meantime, I have a question for you dear souls.

WHAT IS YOUR ART?

What are the things that you were born to do? What are the things that you can do without even thinking about it because they resonate so closely with who you are? In her book, Finding Your Way in a Wild New World, Martha Beck describes your art as the thing that gives your soul a means to express your unique and true nature in the world. Your art is the thing that you can do with your eyes closed, because they have been such a natural part of your life.

Throughout my life, Natures has been my healing balm, writing my truest means of expression and finding my way to a spiritual path saved my life. These are things that I’ve spend more than ten thousand hours doing, things that I have deep practised. These were my clues.

What are your clues to finding who you are? Get lost in them. Be captivated by them. Continue to deep practise them. Give them space in your life. Allow your art to being you home to your Spirit. Transform you art into your life’s MASTERPIECE.

Remember to Dream

Image

Clouds float lazily across the sky, and I am entranced by they fluffy beauty. My day is never complete without a quiet moment to meditate dreamy skyscapes. I could never fully explain what it is about skyscapes that stir something in me. Perhaps it is connected to what Loa Tzu meanr in the Toa Te Ching, when wrote: “The name that can be named is not the enduring and unchanging name”.

Either way, I’ve come to view the sky as a point of beauty crafted by the hands of God that seems to open a doorway to my soul when I look up at them. They reminded me to dream and seem to whisper – “Be free. Fly. Soar…and reach for the stars with your dreams.”

  “The dreams that are breathing through your heart are dreams delivered by God.” ~ Laurel Bleadon-Maffei

There is a dreamer in each us. Your dreams are food for your soul. Remember to visit them from time to time. Give them space in your life and make them come true.

Inner Power Activation with Oprah

 

 OYOU2

I found hope, inspiration and comfort…

The first time I saw the Oprah Show on South African TV – I must have been 12 or 13 years old. I’d just gotten home from school after a tough day. As a junior in high school, I was a skinny shy girl who seemed to attract the attention of bullies and often got singled out and harassed. I recall the feeling that seeing the show it filled me with – a sense that I was not alone, that I could find strength to be more and the courage to overcome challenges. Soon watching the show in the afternoons when taking a break from my studies became a soothing balm and source of inspiration right up until the show came to the end.

I was overwhelmed with excitement and emotion…

When I sat in an audience of 5000 women at the O YOU South Africa Conference, seeing Oprah live and listening to the wisdom she imparted. It truly was a dream come true. The energy was electric, and the resonance of positivity vibrated so profoundly. If anyone has told the young me that she would be some day be one of the women in crowd in the same room as Oprah, she probably would have laughed it off. Back then life felt hard, the world seemed big and distant, and such opportunities seemed out of reach. I am grateful that life has changed so much over the years and that so many magical possibilities now exist in my reality.

OYOU

 

Something happens when you are in the presence of Greatness…

It rubs off on you. Sharing a space with incredible women who have lived fully and defied all obstacles has a way of drawing your own inner warrior to the fore. And when these very women – your role models, favoured authors, Oprah and women like the speakers at O YOU SA – stand before you saying that within you lies a beautiful and unique spirit with significant gifts to offer the world, then your inner power is activated. When that happens, excuses, doubts and fears dissolved and you remember the possibilities that are open to you. I came face to face with the beliefs I’ve allowed to hold myself back and suddenly they seemed so small. I saw the dreams in my heart more clear, heard my soul’s whispers shouting out in joy and in that moment I committed to pursuing them with greater passion. It hit home that I hold the very things that I revere in this women inside of me too, we all do. The more you remind yourself that the same power and beauty of spirit that see in your heros is in you as well, the more you activate your inner power, release limiting beliefs and put yourself in the world to dream, inspire, heal and share your gifts in whichever way you feel guided to. As you do, you manifest your own version of greatness by living your life purpose.
