Is your soul’s journey one that brings you closer to your emotions? or closer to your resistances- to be more specific?
Is it more fulfilling for you to lean into resistances and learn to harness and use the emotion’s that arise to propel you forward.

Fear is an emotion that can be so overpowering if we let it take control over us, but it can also be the gate-way to everything that you are in this lifetime. In my own experience stepping into the feeling and using its energy force has helped me to acknowledge myself and my capabilities.

People report that they feel alive when they have found something to be passionate about or a purpose to follow but behind that purpose you still need to practice skills, and gain motion and adopt practices of discipline in fulfilling this passion. Here is where I believe that fear is a motivator, a signpost and also motion/momentum to propel you in the direction you desire.

Fear is the thing that people seek out to help make them feel more alive.

All emotions can be used for their energy as they move through us. If only we can acknowledge their presence and use the energy. Sometimes a big dose of self- compassion is also needed here!

In our modern society where we do not have to use our fear impulse in a survival or life and death situation, we are getting further away from our true natures. I believe that is why people sometimes are ardently looking for something to be passionate about. We want to feel alive because we are not using our emotions as sources of energy. I don’t believe we need to find our passion. We all know what we like doing. We just gravitate to it naturally but whether you get money from your passion or fulfill it as a hobby, the key to unlocking more of yourself is to lean into the things within that passion or hobby which scare you or make you learn more about yourself.

I was in a conversation the other day with an executive of a transport company; she was saying that you should not waste your time on the things you are not good at. Only spend time perfecting the things you are good at and don’t give energy to what you find difficult. Doesn’t this mean that you don’t get the opportunity to express those abilities that you simply haven’t explored?

Personally I am drawn to physical health, mental and emotional well being. I love facilitating experiential training using the practices of bodywork and principles from the school of the Kahuna in Hawaii. Applying these principles I learned from ancient teachings has brought me closer to myself. There is a feeling that constantly resides with me that I need to keep speaking more with groups and to audiences of people but at the same time it also scares the heck out of me. (I am not talking about speaking on facts and figures or muscles and bones as I do already) but really speaking and connecting and sharing what moves me and what I have learned about in my extraordinary training. I don’t feel that speaking in public comes naturally to me or that I am exceptionally good at it but because it is something I fear I feel extremely drawn to it.

If you only follow the things you are good at, I wonder, would you be able to even recognise what you were fearful of? Could this mean you inhibit your ability to unlock your amazing potential? Is your true potential and soul’s purpose embedded not in finding something to passionately engage with but in following the things that scare you?
My experience tells me that it is a combination of a few of these things.

I will leave with this awesome quote: “Life is like riding a bicycle –in order to stay in balance keep moving” Keep moving towards your resistances and see the new world open up before you. That world is all of the wonderful aspects of yourself you have not met yet!
