True Balance
We often see balance in our lives through the ways we handle the scheduling of our time: work vs. time with family, exercise, or chilling out. Too often we search for space in our schedule to do something we’ve always wanted to do and then just wait for room to appear in our busy lives.
This balancing act with time and juggling ongoing to-do lists, however, leaves us even more exhausted. One remedy I’ve discovered is looking at my life through the balance of giving and receiving. It’s allowed me to see different possibilities and experience greater flow in my life.
The balance of receiving and giving is not a perfectly measured art form. It can take a while to understand it and to cultivate it. What anyone can see quite easily, however, is that when you’re willing to receive energy, feelings, thought, and form which inspire you, you’re much more likely to be filled with energy, feelings, thoughts, and forms to give. I recently took a two-week vacation that made it easy for me to remember this true sense of balance and yet it takes awareness to implement this awareness at home.
In my work with the Mandala and guiding people to experience their Soul’s Dream, I’ve seen many great givers and not-so-stellar receivers. I’ve seen how often people collapse under the weight of giving, whether it’s providing, completing a duty, or performing some role to be liked. True balance and honoring the flow of receiving and giving is a step toward greater authenticity because it requires us to become present to what is true for us and to determine boundaries that are not about time or scheduling, but rather about the exchange of the energy, feelings, thoughts, and forms in our lives.
When we’re in the “zone,” receiving and giving can feel indistinguishable, and when we’re not, we’re gasping for that deep, fulfilling breath that comes with connection to ourselves, others, and the world.
Take a moment to reflect on the balance of receiving and giving in your own life. What are the energy, feelings, thoughts, and forms that you need to receive and how would receiving them shape the ways in which you give?
Evelation
One of the outcomes of the Soul’s Dream journey is an energy upgrade that I refer to as evelation. Evelation happens when the revelations of our awareness quicken and synthesize together for the purpose evolving our consciousness and in doing so elevates the consciousness on the planet. It’s akin to an athlete being in the “zone.” There’s a flow and an elation that occurs when we feel in this kind of sync. Just as an athlete in the zone can lift their team to new heights of skill and excellence, we can impact our world with evelation. Yesterday I wasn’t feeling as “evelationary” as I did the day before and I wondered what had happened. When I thought about it, I realized that my Con Artist had made a rule that a state of evelation can only happen when I’m “up” and giving.
In embracing the energy of “low simmer” yesterday, and having the courage to stay there, I opened my curiosity to the passion of others and was inspired by so many magical moments. I was reminded that being in a state of evelation can simply be about being and receiving. Much to the Con Artist’s chagrin, it’s not a heightened or egoic state of high performance. It’s more about understanding how the ebb and flow of our energy nourishes a greater constellation of energy. I had forgotten that balance is all about nourishing the continuum of receiving and giving. Take a moment to ask yourself how you might you nourish the continuum of receiving and giving within yourself and the greater Universe. How might you lift your world to experience the magic of evelation?
Gratitude
We are all aware of the power of expressing gratitude and recognizing the abundance we receive and have on a daily basis. As the messenger of Heart intelligence and the second color of Faith in the Life Artist color palette, gratitude is about the wonder and joy we feel when our highest potential aligns with the highest good in the world.
Through the Soul’s Dream journey I guide, I have witnessed many people on the path of Intentional Transformation get out of their own way by healing and inspiring themselves first (by attending to their “personal cause”), and then moving on to their “world cause” of healing and inspiring others. People are filled with a deep sense of gratitude when they suddenly realize that their highest potential had been blocked by a belief, pattern, or role in their lives that was holding them back from living their lives in the unique meaning and passion of their Soul’s gifts.
The shift that can happen is living into the gratitude of having a purpose and relationships that are sustained from deeper truths rather than being grateful for all we have. When our Heart intelligence knows this capacity for gratitude, we foster faith that our consciousness is in continual evolution and that outcomes are not destinations that determine our worth, but rather pulse points for remembering who we truly are.
