Are you feeling stuck or lacking clarity in moving forward with your life purpose?

Two years ago the Universe prompted me to create flower essences, using the plants that grow on our property. I thought it sounded like fun, so I did it. But I had no idea how it related to my bigger mission of supporting women who are helping create a world that works better for everyone.

Recently I got a big "Aha!" that helped me understand why I had been given that task.

I was giving oracle readings at a holistic fair and the readings included a sample of one of my flower essences. A woman who had experienced a lot of trauma in the workplace sat down at my table. Her posture was guarded and her expression was serious. I got the sense that she felt resigned.

As the cards began to reveal her story, I asked if she had ideas about how to change the things that were causing problems for her. She said that she did, but that there were "these voices of doubt" in her head.

We continued the reading, which was twenty minutes long. After about 15 minutes she suddenly sat up straighter and leaned forward.. Her face brightened and she said , "It just came to me!" She talked about an idea that had popped into her head. She said it has the potential to change what had caused so many problems for her, and for many others in the work place.

She seemed excited and inspired, like she was ready to "get back into the ring" and try again. She seemed to have tapped into the energy to move forward again, after a long period of feeling depressed and resigned to the fact that nothing would change.

Here is what I think happened for her:

When we bump into continued dead ends or when we experience trauma, a Protector Part inside of us gets into the driver's seat. Its’ job is to keep us from experiencing more trauma or "failure. " The Protector Part tells us things like, “Just play It safe,” or, “Things will never change. It’s not worth the effort to try.”

And while that is good on one level, because it does prevent us from experiencing more trauma, it often leaves us feeling depressed and hopeless. I think that’s what had happened for the woman who sat across from me during the reading.

When we are mired in feelings of depression and hopelessness, our energy is vibrating at a very low level. And that makes it really hard for our divine guidance to come through. Our low vibration energy is like a sky full of thick, dark clouds. The light of our True Self, which vibrates at a very high frequency, and can easily connect with our divine guidance, is blocked by the clouds.

But when we are able to raise our vibration, by taking a flower essence, by working with a coach, or by using Oracle cards, the frequency of our vibration increases and pushes the clouds aside. And then the light of our True Self can shine through.

And when we are connected to our True Self, we can hear the wisdom that our guides are ready to share with us. And then we can move forward in creating the differences we need in our own life and in the world.

To witness the transformation that occurred was so inspiring! The dramatic shift in the woman's outlook and appearance was a clear illustration of how important it is to raise our vibration, and what can happen when we do!

Because of her lived experience and passion for justice, she already had many of the pieces she needed to live her life purpose. But breaking through the clouds of hopelessness and doubt, and hearing her divine guidance at that moment, provided a missing piece that empowered and inspired her.

Never underestimate the power of raising your vibration. And if you need support around that, reach out to me. I can help you.
