Metaphysical Secret: Rebuild from the Top

Recently I visited my health physician for a minor body issue. In trying to be scientifically helpful, she was providing a proven path for staving off more decline. This was not a rebuilding-for-better plan – it was a maintenance plan for less deterioration.

My thoughts and manifesting consciousness was housed in plans to rebuild or to reverse the situation. This was not an idea my physician could readily embrace. It was not part of her experience with her patients. So there was no ‘holding the possibility’ in her mind.

In my life experience, however, I have fully reversed many situations in my body and life, and in fact rebuilt from the top down to a much higher and more satisfying place.

As a geeky person with two science degrees (one in healthcare), I pondered this awkward conversation that she and I had in the exam room. After years of manifesting and also living with ‘science facts,’ I could see the bigger revelation around my approach and my doctor’s approach.

As a physician, she sees the body in constant decline with the body leading the conscious experience. Her view is as if a person were starting at the bottom of a hill and pushing the boulder uphill. The effort is intense to keep the body healthy and vibrant, and it is a losing battle.

My view, as a Spiritual Alchemist and Healer, is that everything starts from the top and works its way down into physical manifestation. This means that consciousness leads the body experience. This top-down view is also held by many of my Spiritual Mayan Lineage Healer and Teacher friends, and when the understanding is embraced, it becomes a natural way of bringing into existence what is desired.

Believe me – I get that we have a physical body that breaks down or has traumas in its operation. I also know that the brain sends all the messages to the body for response.

The real question is this: Is consciousness first or is physical first on our planet? The answer would drive how we manifest things into being.

Fortunately for us, Dr. Amit Goswami has answered this question for humanity! This Quantum Physics scientist and researcher was instrumental in several experiments (repeated in exactness through many universities) that demonstrated consciousness comes first.

General Overview of ‘Consciousness first’ Experiment

Here is a summary of the experiment: Two people (strangers to one another) were hooked up with electrodes on their heads and put into a room with each other. They sat across from one another and ‘thought’ about the other person, connecting into their consciousness. Their brain waves were captured on a computer recording. Every person is different, so the brain waves were different from one another as well.

After 5 minutes, they were separated into Faraday chambers where no electro-magnetic fields can penetrate. This should have eliminated any ability for them to have cross communication through their electrodes. In fact, if physical bodies are primary to consciousness, then they would truly not be able to connect at all.

They were asked to spend 20 minutes ‘thinking’ about the other person. Within a very short time period, the most amazing thing happened. The two separate brain wave recordings were moving in synchronistic waves with one another! Dr. Goswami and his team were able to actually lay one brain wave chart over the other one and they lined up almost perfectly.

This was astounding to the team. It was an experiment that was then replicated at other universities with the same results. Dr. Goswami had proved that consciousness exists outside of the body and any physics of our world. He went on to bring about other experiments that show consciousness directing the body and our environment.

Manifest Creative and Innovative Products

Our consciousness attention draws in, for manifestation, ALL experiences, including creative endeavors. As our wisdom teachers show us, all energy and thought already exist in the world (in both visible and invisible realms). It is likely that the painting you are doing or the necklace you are putting together already has a ‘presence’ in higher consciousness planes.

One of my Spiritual sisters is very clear that she channels her books into being. She starts with the knowledge that the book, in its whole and complete form, already exists in the higher planes of consciousness. She is tapping in and allowing that book to filter down and she is the vehicle that types it into form.

What creative projects could you bring to life from the already-completed higher consciousness state?

In circling back to the topic of the physical body and improving a health situation, the manifestation of that starts from the conscious mind. What are you thinking about when experiencing an illness or physical challenge or pain? Where are your thoughts when your doctor lays out the ‘statistics’ of other people’s healing path and applies it to your life?

Miracles are simply advanced physics knowledge not yet revealed to our scientists.

Medical doctor and Metaphysical Healer, Dr. Deepak Chopra, witnessed a body fully controlled by the mind in a demonstration by a yogi when Dr. Chopra was a young medical student. He watched in amazement as the practiced yogi cut his body with a knife, allowed massive blood flow to come out, and then, with his mind, he stopped the blood flow instantly and completely. This higher wisdom changed the course of Dr. Chopra’s life.

Start with a HIGHER VISION – and HOLD yourself there

The ‘secret’ of successful metaphysical healers is that we are holding a higher consciousness PERFECT blueprint of our bodies, our careers, our finances, and our relationships, in our minds.

If you want to mentally roll a pencil across the table, you don’t push it with your mind. You open the space on the other side of it and allow it to be pulled in that direction, or, more accurately, flow into that newly vacated space.

Allow that information to sink in. STOP pushing and imagine being on top of a mountain and opening the space above where all is created in its beauty, and let if flow DOWN into place.

This is what is meant by focusing on our dreams, our vision boards, and our affirmations. The consciousness will direct everything. Wonderful ideas will flow into place, people will show up to help get the project off the ground, and funding will come through when it is needed and appropriate.

For health – your body is under YOUR control. Rebuilding-for-improvement will include action steps, of course, but most important is that you build and hold that LUMINOUS and radiant body in your Higher Consciousness mind. See it in all its vibrancy and joy. See conditions completely reversed that baffle your doctors. Use your inner mind and watch your blood system and nerves deliver the messages from your radiant and divine blueprint. Listen to your inner heart and allow what you know to be the BEST for YOU to come into fruition.

Relax – BREATHE

You got this!

Whether we realize it or not, we have all manifested this way many, many times in our lives. It might have been done from the more subconscious or even unconscious arena. By being highly conscious, we now have the joy of directing our focus and our choices.

LESS is MORE.

It is best to keep our focus on the completed and wonderful version of what we are bringing into manifestation.

Small steps and details are provided in the process by our Higher Self and Spirit Guides and Guiding Angels. We know that it already exists and so, we can FEEL that vibration. Walk around in that vibration! Like a delicious herbal tea, we may steep ourselves in it.

Be Your Own Wizard!

You are UNIQUE and you came to this planet to fulfill your Highest Blueprint Life.

Combined with the Higher Realms – work your magic Top-down.

Let nothing fence you in.

Ignite, Activate, and Enjoy!

Is it a Skill, Talent, or Gift?

Many times in life we may desire to re-evaluate our path and open to new avenues of Doing and Being in our communities, careers, and relationships. Who we are, how we express and share ideas, and learned knowledge all comes to the forefront.

And it can be confusing!

Is it a skill that we have learned and it turns out that we are talented at it? Or were we ‘gifted’ with this ability, as some friends might say to us?

“Oh, you are so gifted at that!”

These three terms – SKILL – TALENT – GIFT – are used interchangeably in many environments, from the corporate world to a meditation gathering.

When we are changing pathways in life, we must know the difference!

To show up authentically and fully in a new endeavor means that we have spent time in reflection and personal examination of HOW we contribute to the world.

Many of us are looking to ‘follow our Dream,’ and that could indicate a new job, going back to school, starting a different business, publishing books, selling artwork, applying for a leadership position at a nonprofit organization, and so much more.

In order to lean into a new life direction, it is helpful to know the difference between our skills, talents and gifts.

Let’s Start with Definitions

SKILL

This is something that we develop – we learn to perform – whether we wanted to or not. It may be necessary.

A skill can be in the range of learning to do laundry all the way up to training as an architect in school. As a trained architect, a person would learn basics on how to draw, design buildings, and work deeply in mathematics.

Training as a school teacher, a person would learn tried-and-true methods of how to teach to children. This does not automatically translate to the teacher being ‘talented’ at teaching others.

My example is that I worked in corporate jobs for many years and I was trained to be highly organized and efficient. I learned to be detail-oriented based on the work I was required to complete and I was taught ‘systems-thinking.’

This was not my deep love – my heart was not in this type of work – but I developed the skills in order to stay in that line of work and pay my bills every month.

TALENT

A talent is where we have learned a skill, such as how to play the guitar, and then discover that we have an affinity for it. With a learned skill that showcases a talent, a person is naturally better at that thing than most others.

Accordingly, the skill level for that person rises quite quickly. The person has a talent (that is noticeable) for that particular learned skill. Also, it is highly likely that there is enjoyment in performing that skill/talent because the person is attracted to the activity, and thus, practices more often.

You may have read about practicing something for 10,000 hours to have mastery over that skill. This is highlighted in the immensely informative book, “Outliers; The Story of Success,” by Malcolm Gladwell. The research of this author shows that we can achieve expertise in a field by putting in (approximately) 10,000 hours of practice.

We find that most people who choose to put in 10,000 hours into something usually have an attraction or a desire toward that activity. But remember, we can become masterful at something and still not be talented at it. Talent is recognized by others and the talented person stands out in their field.

My example is that when I was younger, I participated in nine years of constant vocal training while in school. I was selected for specialty singing groups, performed in musicals and I participated in State competitions.

While I have a ‘nice’ voice, and I certainly have an affinity for singing, my years of developing and practicing a skill did not reveal a great talent! Nowadays, my husband is the lucky audience member for my joyous vocals.

GIFT

This is innate – we have always had this ability. In fact, it may come so easily to us that we think it is part of our personality. We may take this for granted and not give it much credit.

We have no obligation to use our gifts. It is always there, so it is an OPTION to look for OPPORTUNITIES to exude, share, develop and enhance our gifts.

When we are in full bloom of our gift(s), we can mentor others who carry this gift.

Examples of Innate Gifts

  • Stabilizing Calm
  • Emotional Strength
  • Conceptual Visionary
  • Artistic Eye
  • Healing Presence
  • Compassion
  • Writing
  • Hope/Inspiration
  • Light-Heartedness
  • Idea Architect
  • Oral Communicator
  • Teaching
  • Solution Finder

Gifts are recognized as an over-arching quality or essence. It is not usually a laser-focused skill because a gift may be expressed in many ways.

Our Higher Self, along with Source and our Spirit Guides, will set up a multitude of opportunities for us to express and share our gift(s) during our time on this planet. A gift of compassion, for example, might be expressed in a career as a nurse. But also, it could be expressed in a career as a teacher of disabled students, or as a veterinarian. It would also naturally be noticed by the person’s friends and family and be greatly appreciated.

In other words:

Our gift does not necessarily lead us into one pathway of living.

Rather, it opens many pathways of contributing.

One of my deepest gifts is to be a ‘helper’ and to bring ‘encouragement’ for others. I embrace these gifts by being of service (when it is appropriate) for my family, friends, and spiritual community. This might take the path of sending a heart-felt card to a friend, or writing a thoughtful email, or sending an unexpected gift. I choose to express encouragement in my blogs, my novels, and in my class teaching, as well. I have ‘encouraged others’ since I was a young child.

Make Your List

If you would like to delve deeper into the examination of these three areas for yourself, my suggestion would be:

  • Open your journal or computer tablet and create TWO columns across the page. Title the one on the left ‘Skill’ and the one on the right ‘Talent.’
  • Take your time and write a list down the ‘Skill’ column of skills you have developed over the years. Think of your communications, your thought processes, your physical abilities, etc.
  • In the ‘Talent’ column, right across from each skill, put a yes or no if this turned into a talent, or you feel you are recognized by others for this highly developed skill.
  • Notice if any of the yes areas on your ‘Talent’ list came about from an affinity for the activity, and from many hours of practice.
  • Finally, at the bottom of your page, separate from the two columns, write the word GIFT and list qualities that you feel you have exhibited most of your life. Be honest and be specific. You might have always brought HOPE to others, but not necessarily BALANCE or GROUNDEDNESS.
  • You will likely find that you have no less than 3 gifts and probably no more than 7. Once you have these identified, look back through your two columns above and put a star next to anything on the lists where you now recognize that your gift shines through that skill/talent as well.
  • Write an extra paragraph below your Gifts List on all the ways that your gift is expressed from you in other areas of your life (personal relationships, spirituality, finances, business acumen, home design, nature activities, and more).

You may be discovering now how many wonderful innate gifts you truly give to the world – DAILY!

Another way to discern if it is a gift:

It will feel natural and it will bring you energy to do it.

Through many years of personal healing sessions and classes, I learned the difference between being a ‘helper – an encourager’ and being a ‘people-pleaser.’ The difference is obvious for me energetically. As an encourager or when I am naturally helping someone, I feel LIFTED. It is easy to do. When I am stuck in the icky energy of trying to people-please, I feel drained and it becomes an effort.

How to Grow Your Gift

By recognizing and appreciating your gift(s), it is easier to see when you are LIFTED by it, and perhaps how to bring more of those experiences into your day. Your awareness helps the gift to GROW.

If you are looking to change your career, focus on what is joyful for you, and HOW that lifestyle will be more fulfilling than where you are now. You may still need to develop some new skills for the transition, but the beauty of knowing your gift areas means that you are able to apply these amazing, innate qualities to your new path in ways that are ALREADY fulfilling for you.

Stay in the heart.

Pay attention.

Don’t rush.

Be focused and selective.

Your energy is finite and precious.

Treat it like GOLD. And spend it where you will find the most personal satisfaction.

Your Higher Self chose these specific Gifts for this lifetime. Build skills, allow Talent to exude, and appreciate your GIFTS as the way that your Soul will grow the fastest.
