One of the greatest philosophical questions we face is whether we are ruled by a pre-determined destiny, or fate, or whether we have some free choice in the unfolding of our lives. While philosophers have spent millennia debating between the two, the truth may be more fluid: perhaps it’s down to us to decide whether our destiny becomes the blueprint for our life.
As an intuitive feminine coach, I have worked with hundreds of clients working at a deep energy level and the great majority of those have wanted to know one thing: what is my destiny? What is my purpose? What am I here to do?
The way I see our destiny or purpose is that it’s a core piece of self-knowledge and guidance that our soul holds within us. It’s a seed, or jewel of clarity and knowing of just who we are and what we have come to do in this lifetime. If we are transparent enough to ourselves, this jewel can shine brightly within us as a beacon. However, if we are covered over with layers of conditioning and fear, it lies hidden out of sight.
The only way that this seed, or jewel, of destiny, can flower into manifestation is when you allow yourself to be guided by its light and when you nourish it with your thoughts, intentions and actions. Then your destiny and your life path can become one.
1) INTUITION
The most effective way to clearly see your personal jewel of destiny is through cultivating your intuition. Your intuition is the inner gaze that allows you to see the glorious seed of your potential and passion in this lifetime. Your intuition is there to guide you step by step and help you remain on the path of being true to your destiny.
You need to be able to distinguish between mind chatter, societal conditioning, and the deep voice of your heart. In my experience, the voice of my intuition has a peaceful, quiet quality to it. When I am still and focused I simply feel it as TRUTH. Truth has nothing to do with facts, external circumstances or what others may say or think. Truth is your personal domain and you are the only person in the world with access to what is true for you. Truth will often take your outside of your comfort zone, challenge what you are “meant to” be or do according to a more logical outlook.
2) ALIGNMENT
The second step, once you have paved the way to seeing your core destiny, is to clear any of the emotional and energetic blocks that make you feel that you and your destiny are somehow separate. This includes deep fears and conditioning that perhaps lead you to feeling unworthy and incapable of carrying out your true and wonderful dream.
Clearing these blocks is essentially the “hard work” when it comes to aligning yourself with your destiny. It requires you to engage honestly and fearlessly with your wounded, unconscious and shadow aspects. As you realize that you are the only person who is really standing in the way of yourself, you empower yourself take small but significant steps towards ALIGING with your destiny.
Full alignment means that every part of you is now available to live your destiny fully with no fear, resistance or self-sabotage. Once you have reached alignment, the unfolding of your destiny can be graceful and effortless.
3) PRESENCE
The third step is to plant a deep foundation into the present moment. You need to learn to walk true on your “straight and narrow path” as Jesus described it, guided by intuition and emotional clarity and freedom so that every step, however small or large, places you firmly on the way to realizing your destiny. As we know, there is actually no future, only the now, and so we build our dreams a step at a time, always in the present moment.
Being in the present allows you free yourself from future projections and needs. You are relaxed and free. Your state of alignment in the present means that everything you need is flowing into your life and you are responding in a deeply relaxed and spontaneous way. This way the most perfect outcome for your can be arrived at in order for you to live out your destiny in beautiful and surprising ways.
Through developing these three vital steps I hope that you can find a powerful alignment with your truth and your reason for being here as a soul. This is truly the path to joy, fulfillment and abundance. It’s also the best way to transform your life into an endless adventure of unfolding. Make the best of each moment and may your destiny be realized!
