Is it a Skill, Talent, or Gift?

On By Robin MorlockIn Soul JourneyLeave a comment

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.

What is a SOUL JOURNEY?

On By Robin MorlockIn Soul Journey2 Comments

We often wonder if we are on a ‘Soul’ Journey when we are knee-deep in bills, deadlines, family commitments and cutting our sleep time to keep up with the demands of our daily schedule.

It feels more like a ‘Chore’ Journey.

And when social media posts flood in with smiling faces – “Enjoying my Best Life!” – we might even question if we are doing it wrong.

Breathe – Relax – and know this:

  1. We are not doing it wrong. We are doing what we have been trained to do by the modern world.
  2. We are on a Soul Journey, no matter what – but we may not be getting the answers we seek.

Our day-to-day can keep us spinning with familial and social obligations, continuous job training and work demands, financial stress, and an overabundance of technology and lack of time in nature.

And yet, we know in our hearts that REFLECTION time and dedicated HEALING efforts are a self-nurturing way to grow, transform, and begin to LIVE the Luminous Life we desire – AND – that Source desires for us as well!

But how do I fit in my Introspective & Healing Soul Journey?

As many people in my life circle are aware, my own Soul Journey started in 1997. My healing is thanks to the amazing presence of many Divine-Light Teachers such as Starr Fuentes and Selena Rodriguez.

My path as a Spiritual Teacher and Intuitive Healer took a quantum leap in 2014 because of my deepened dedication to ‘being seen’ (on the web), committing even more to my own LIGHT transformation, and offering classes & sessions more openly. In recognizing that I resonated with being a ‘Spiritual Alchemist,’ this lead me to explore new ways to blend the sacred and science with daily living.

Let me share THREE Spiritual Alchemy secrets…

Spiritual Alchemy Secret #1

You have to do this – this lifetime or another.

We find the time to deepen our walk with Source, our Spirit Guides, and our Inner Self because WE HAVE TO. This is the only way to begin living in balanced grace where we bring out our best talents, gifts, and compassion to the world. We cannot wish for this to magically happen.

YOU are worth your most precious time spent on revealing your Highest Blueprint for this lifetime.

We cannot be MORE for others until we are HEALED and LOVING ourselves.

Spiritual Alchemy Secret #2

It starts with small steps and builds to a natural state of Being.

There is no magic pill that will whisk us away to a life filled with butterflies and stars. (Okay, there might be, but we want an organic and drug-free life on this planet!)

It will require that we put one foot in front of the other (very third dimension/science based) and with the guidance of a trained Spiritual Teacher (the sacred element), we build a new foundation for the intuitive and grace-filled life we want to experience.

What DOES exist for us – in a super powerful and experiential way – is a life lived in miraculous breaths where:

We flow from one synchronicity to the next.

Our Intuitive Guidance is regularly ‘on.’

We see/feel/experience the manifestation of our joyful desires almost instantly.

We feel more grounded and greatly loved & supported on our unique Soul Journey.

Spiritual Alchemy Secret #3

The work pays off because the Universal Laws never fail.

After we dig deep and address issues and life traumas AND clear those out of our energy fields – we can explore our soul contracts and re-activate our Highest Blueprint for this lifetime. We become aware of working with Higher Realm Beings of LIGHT that are assisting us daily, and this co-creating is woven into the fabric of living a Higher Consciousness life.

In the Spiritual Alchemist world, we work from the place of consciousness creating our physical world. This has now been proven by the amazing Amit Goswami, Quantum Physicist!

It is a Top-Down Concept!

We are GREAT BEINGS of energy that have come to enjoy a planetary Earth life. Our physical bodies and the world we have created around us are results of our conscious thoughts and soul choices for evolution.

Universal Law states that what we create/think MUST be brought to us! It never fails.

So if we activate the brain with LIGHT, clear our blockages, and ground our energies, we will radiate Divine Light.

Divine Light emanating outward attracts grace, ease, joy, beauty, balance, abundance, and love.

Our Soul Journey opens us to Love, Joy, and Spiritual Depth.

These THREE Spiritual Alchemy Secrets boost our confidence about getting on path.

  • We will be required to do a conscious reflective & healing Soul Journey – it is in our soul contract – now or later.
  • Taking small steps is FINE – it adds up!
  • The Universe guarantees we will succeed and be successful in our quest.

My suggestion on getting started:

Find a Spiritual Teacher that you resonate with and commit to healing and discovering what your soul purpose is, how you are to express it best, and the peace that comes from healing your Inner Self.

You can do it alone, and it will take longer, but why do that?

We are here on this planet to be in community with one another! The authentic healers and teachers are out there, ready to assist you over the bridge from where you are now to where you desire to be – LUMINOUSLY expressing your gifts, talents and compassion for a world that needs the TRUE YOU.

Your Soul is greatly loved and supported always, and now is the time to embrace that essence by journeying deep to be grounded, balanced and whole.

Soul Journey: Creating Outside Support for an Inner Dream

On By Robin MorlockIn Soul JourneyLeave a comment

As I write this today, children and adults everywhere are preparing costumes for the Halloween weekend. Donning clothes, props and make-up that would seem ridiculous in the normal routine, most Halloween-goers enjoy the experience of ‘showing’ a bit of themselves…a bit of their fantasy inner life!

I am fairly certain that nobody actually wants to be a flesh-eating zombie…right? Yet, when we put on the costume and run around frightening others with a dazed and heavy-footed walk, we are on display to the world about what subjects we are drawn to – what we find interesting – and what we will talk about at length with anyone in ear shot!

Halloween is a great example of how we can begin to put the outside pieces in place to support the larger life vision we hold in our hearts.

The old saying is: “Dress for the job you want.” I would like to explore this a bit deeper. How about these revised sayings?

“Display the life you are almost ready for,”

Or

“Show off your Inner Dream costume”

Changing your clothes, the car you drive, your style of home, and even your physical location are all outside activities that we tend to see happening after we have changed fully in the way that we vision on the inside.

My experience, however, is that this is backwards. When you have made the full circle change that you envisioned for yourself, it can then feel like fingernails on a chalk board every time you deal with a construction from your old world. And those activities of moving to a new city or letting go of a group activity that you hold onto out of obligation become even more laborious. And take longer to complete, in general.

During our Soul Journey, the idea should not be to ‘fake it’ on the outside until you make it (on the inside) – but rather realize the inner change has already happened and you are simply setting up the container that will best support this new rebirth of YOU.

The New YOU

Just in having the Inner Vision of a different way of Being, you have already changed! Now we want to incubate that beautiful dream with supportive outside measures. This allows the Inner Vision to blossom when the time is right into the safe and Light-filled outer container that is your physical life.

Let’s say your heart has gained immense compassion over the last year through your own self-work, prayer, and outer circumstances. This ‘softening’ may lead you to desire to wear softer clothes, or a softer palette of clothing – something that more truly reflects you in this present moment. Let’s add to this that you are waiting to buy these new clothes until you have dropped 20 pounds – another part of your vision – a healthier You!

Don’t Delay!

My suggestion is do not hold back! Begin integrating these outside changes now, and let those supportive constructs reflect back to you who you already have become. It will hasten your movement toward the full vision that you carry in your heart, and simultaneously send out an alert to your environment of the shift. In return, you magnetize to yourself more people, places and situations that resonate clearly with your newly stated goals.

And yes, you will need to buy some additional clothes or tailor your new clothes when you lose those 20 pounds. This is nothing compared to the very real danger of holding back on living who you already are on the inside by waiting for another change. You might get discouraged and never get to experience what you are longing to display – the ‘Healthier You’ vision.

Get a Working Vehicle in Place

We all need reliable transportation to get us from Point A to Point B. Look in your life at any changes that you have been thinking of making for some time now. By getting all of the physical 3D pieces in place quickly, you allow yourself a good working vehicle for the journey. Remember, you need to get comfy with the new 3D changes as well.

Take small steps that have an accumulation factor in play. With your outer world reflecting more and  more of your healthy, healed, authentic inner world, you will soon have in place a strong working vehicle. You can take it slow or go fast toward your new life.

Your Inner Self will blossom by visually ‘seeing’ this new world all around. The speed of the journey, of course, is up to you.

Enjoy Halloween – and contemplate that outside Lifestyle costume you have on. Does it still fit?

Many Blessings, Robin

Harvest Moon 2016: Preparing the Way

On By Robin MorlockIn Alchemy Tips, Soul JourneyLeave a comment

In North America, Friday, September 16, 2016 is the Harvest Moon. It is the Full Moon of the Autumn season, and is close to the Autumn Equinox on September 22, 2016.

Harvest Moon Importance

The Harvest Moon is a time of the harvesting of the second crop – all of the root plants – and an important time of storing up reserves for the long, cold winter ahead. In many ancient traditions, it was considered a time of casting spells for prosperity and preparing the physical body to endure the hardship of snow over the landscape.

This year’s Harvest Moon is of great importance, as it will also be the last lunar eclipse on a Harvest Moon until 2024, according to National Geographic. Imagine what a change this is for the planet – that a baby born today will not see a lunar eclipse on our special Harvest Moon until the child is eight years old!

In North America, we will not see the lunar eclipse, but we can honor it as a shift that prepares the way for the next 8 years. A new level of higher consciousness living is being anchored now, and most of us have been feeling the shifts this past summer (physical, mental and emotional).

The Miracle 100 years ago

Three shepherd children of Fátima, Portugal were being prepared in the summer of 1916 for a much greater change for themselves, their community, and the world.

Lúcia dos Santos (9 yrs old), and her cousins Francisco Marto (8 yrs old) and Jacinta Marto (6 years old) lived a quiet life in the small town of Aljustrel, a village in the parish of Fátima, about 80 miles north of Lisbon. During the summer of 1916, the children were tending sheep in the hills every day by themselves, and received three visitations from what they perceived to be an Angel.

The Children of Fatima; Lucia dos Santos, Francisco Marto, and Jacinta Marto, 1917

This miracle was so great and touched them so deeply that they did not speak of it to anyone. They prayed the rosary, as instructed, and each one began to change in noticeable ways. Physically, they all felt higher levels of exhaustion after the visitations, and yet, greater peace inside. They each noticed how they were treating their friends and each other, and began to shift to a gentler and more generous nature. According to the book “The Children of Fatima” by author Leo Madigan, after visitations the children found they could not speak or play or follow a normal routine for a couple of days. They felt as though they were in a daze from the beauty of the Angel and the energy they had felt during the visitation.

They were being prepared – the Angel showed up to assist them in raising their vibrations and strengthening their bodies. What were they being prepared for? In the following year, on May 13, 2017, the children received the first of 6 visitations from the Holy Mother, Mother Mary. The Mother prepared them with Light and asked them to tell others there would be a miracle on October 13, 2017.

The children obeyed, and thousands and thousands of people began to come to the small town to see the apparitions. Some 30,000 to 100,000 people gathered on October 13th at the Cova da Iria, where the visitations had been occurring for the children. They were rewarded with what is knows as “the Miracle of the Sun.” The rain disappeared and the sun began to change colors and rotate like a wheel in the sky. Many saw this “miracle” from as far as 40 kilometers away, unaware of the happenings at Cova da Iria. Lucia, Fancisco and Jacinta reported that they witnessed Mother Mary, the Christ Jesus and a host of Angelic Beings from the Heavens reaching down and pouring blessings over the masses.

What changes have you been experiencing?

Over the past summer months, many people have noticed physical changes in their bodies, and a ‘softening’ of their Inner Self. There have been changes in attitude, and ‘sudden’ healings of long-rooted traumas, as though rotted tree trunks and all the root limbs have been yanked out permanently.

What have you noticed for yourself over the past 3 months? Are physical ailments now clearing up? The strange pains in hips or the spine or legs are starting to wane? Notice also if you feel more clear-headed, and have received greater clarity on your path. Write down (to anchor the change) if any long-held patterns have cleared, been removed, or transmuted.

We are being prepared for a new world – for living at a much higher consciousness level and, just as a square peg will not fit into a round hole, we have been in need of adjustments. What will not work in the higher vibrations must go, and so it may have been shed gracefully or with a bit of what felt like blunt force. What we know is that it is in preparation for a substantially more graceful way of living.

Gratitude through our Light-Filled Words & Actions

We have the God-given power to speak anything into manifestation. Know that this is increased when you cross into living at a higher frequency of committed authenticity of the Higher Self. Divine LIGHT will be shining forth from you like a beacon in a Lighthouse, as we manifest with positive intention and attract people and situations that flow easily with our life path.

Harvest Moon over the fields
Harvest Moon over the fields

So for tonight, enjoy the Harvest Moon! Bring out your bowls of fruit, candles and lanterns and speak out the powerful words of prayer and blessings over yourself, your family & friends, and the global community. Thank Mother Earth for her beautiful support, day in, day out, and know that you have been strengthened to thrive in this winter season, and blossom over the next 8 years!

Blessings, Robin

Soul Journey: Higher Consciousness Living Shifts

On By Robin MorlockIn Soul JourneyLeave a comment

Affirmations are offered by Energy & Intuitive Healers as a path to success, deeper love, more joy – essentially a Higher Consciousness Living plane of existence. If this is such a powerful tool, why is it that so many people find it fails them?

From a Spiritual Alchemist perspective, I have experienced what I term “the Higher Consciousness Living” shift by the combination of both Science & the Sacred – a blend that elevates our consciousness, health and peace over a lifetime of our Soul Journey.

Luminous Consciousness Robin MorlockWe live in (basically) 4 planes of energy – Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual. When we feel discomfort in one or more of the planes, we seek to make a change. That is our internal innate GPS – a guidance system that moves us always in a path of growth and expansion.

As many of us have learned, contraction or static living can hurt – literally. You feel like you expanded inside a box and the walls of the box are pressing in – you cannot breathe. When this happens, we are motivated to make a change, but many times we are trapped by the mental sphere. We imagine that we can ‘think’ our way out of the box.

4 Planes come together to effect the desired Quantum Shift

Affirmations are formed by our mental mind and this is a form of a cognitive behavior technique. We are changing our belief system by repetition of something we greatly desire that is different from our current experience.

To truly affect a change, what we are actually asking for (consciously or subconsciously) is an elevation of our conscious living state.

We want a quiet mind, free from worries.

We desire to be in loving relationships where people value one another.

We dream of a body that has energy and less pain or discomfort.

We crave an intimate conversation with Source and our inner Intuitive Self.

We need attention to all 4 planes, as they weave together and produce the noticeable and quantifiable difference that we seek. This is why so many people struggle when working with affirmations. They are pushing the mental plane to accomplish a herculean task; quantum life shift!

4 Ways to weave your Quantum Shift into Place!

Physical – This has to do with habits of living. You may be experiencing difficulty with your diet, your sleep patterns, exercise regime and pain management. Take the baby steps to institute the new habits, and be gentle in this process. Gentle means easing into the new habit with doable steps.

Mental – Here is where the affirmations and intention statements come into play. Write affirmations that are general enough to allow Source to ‘surprise’ you with wondrous new changes! Don’t limit yourself with too much specific language in your Affirmation. “Everyday I am loved by supportive friends.”

Emotional – Heartfelt Prayer and Appreciation thoughts will open and expand this plane. Many of us experience a ‘closed heart’ due to emotional pains taken on in relationships and life situations. Allow more grace to flow in!

Spiritual – Energy healings (like Reiki) will assist the body in pain relief, but are mostly geared to ‘filling up’ your spiritual fuel tank, bringing in peace and inspiration. Spiritual Initiations are necessary and come most powerfully through working with an authentic Healer, although these can also be prayed for in the quiet of your home. Initiations gradually seep into the cellular tissue, and the LIGHT re-patterns our DNA. Initiations also work like a large shiny net that pulls out karmic and emotional stings that you are ready to let go of – that you cannot hold onto in a next level consciousness shift.

Dimensions Robin Morlock

Higher Consciousness Living Shift

These 4 plane changes come about from a natural diamond (4 step) process. In order to move to the next level of Higher Consciousness, we must be willing to put attention in all 4 areas.

The Cycle

As shown in the diamond-process, when we gain this next level quantum shift into a Higher Consciousness Living state, we are blessed with vitality, creativity, inspiration, peace of mind, joy of being in the moment, and fulfillment in our growing closeness with Source.

One day we realize that the shift is REAL. We are no longer triggered by a long-time painful issue, and we find beauty-of-spirit and smiles in those around us. This is not nirvana, but a deepening of our inner Light that desires authentic and fulfilling experiences with others and our planet.

It is so subtle at times that we realize it with a small ‘ahhh…’

Once we recognize that a new layer has been revealed on our path, it is great to note this in a journal. I promise, it can be so subtle that you may not even ‘see’ it at first. Affirm it to yourself when you do have your ‘Ah-ha’ moment. Your appreciation will deepen the experience.

How long will this last? Every one’s Soul Journey is individual, so this magical combination is different for each of us. But as we continue to shine, and share our LIGHT with others, we will naturally reach a point of needing to stretch again. This is when you will feel some discomfort – the pushing at the walls of the box again.

Gift of YOU Robin Morlock

Your Gift to Others

As you reach your next level of Higher Consciousness Living, your aura will announce this to everyone else! You walk into a room and suddenly there are three people around you, wondering what you have been up to. They see/sense your LIGHT has grown.

Just BEING allows others who are in discomfort to gain assistance – their aura will pick up from your aura necessary ‘information.’ Energetically, we can assist others in igniting what they intuitively know to seek – and it is the first REAL step.

I look forward to hearing about your shifts and changes!

Many blessings, Robin

Soul Journey: Find Your Own Intuitive Path

On By Robin MorlockIn Soul JourneyLeave a comment

One of my favorite activities is to look up ancient Alchemist recipes! I read the half-scientific and half-convoluted directions that were put down in earnest scientific and mystical exploration, and I wonder…how could they be so inexact in measurements? Cryptic symbols slipped in with notations giving exact measurements, and then the vague instructions of ‘heat between 250ºC and 350ºC’ for the completion of the formula.

What? How many times must I experiment with the heat element in order to find the right complement of elements? Is this any better than a witch’s brew of ‘a pinch of this’ and ‘a dash of that,’ but ‘only when the moon is three days into waning, and three dogs barked at midnight…’?

Of course, this is funny to us now, but to an ancient Alchemist there was an exact method that had to be followed and that would end in proper results. Half a dash the wrong way and you have ruined your formula magic.

But the ancient Alchemists had another secret – the subjective measurements were on purpose! This protected their special elixir because it required their own intuitive understanding of the recipe and elements in order to help it blossom in the bottle.

Exact Instructions in Spiritual Practices

How many of us have tried to apply this follow-the-instructions road with our Spiritual Journey? And sadder yet, how many of us have given up or have felt continually disconnected from Source because the ‘recipe’ did not seem to work for us?

It Happened to Me, too

When I began a serious study of spiritual topics, alternative healing modalities and deep inner core Soul work, I read at a voracious pace every book I could find on certain subjects in the spiritual and metaphysical field.

Meditation, for example, was an area that I really wanted to excel in – because I was impatient and terrible at quieting my mind. Like many others before me, I listened to recordings or followed exact instructions on how to get down to this inner, calm state of ‘no mind.’

The result? I fidgeted. I sat so long my bones ached. And, sometimes, I achieved a state of true peace for a few minutes. I felt like a failure and I stopped trying for quite some time.

Meanwhile, I was training in Reiki (hands-on healing) alternative healing method. This was a modality that I loved because of the grace and ease of it, and my dedication lead to Mastery training. Eventually I decided to move forward with teaching and initiations for others in order to spread this amazing healing method.

Discovering My Own Secret Recipe!

What I discovered while practicing Reiki healing: My mind got super quiet while facilitating a Reiki healing session for a client. So quiet, in fact, that my intuitive mind was able to connect more freely with Spirit Guides and Angels, and I was ‘moved’ all around the client’s body into healing positions that were slightly out of the norm for a traditional Reiki session. All of this co-creative union with Source worked for the client, bringing in deep shifts and pain relief. It worked for me because I got myself ‘out of the way’ of the healing process and achieved a deep inner peace that grew and grew over the years.

Your Own Intuitive Path

As you persevere forward on your own mystical inner path to reveal your true LIGHT and learn more about your soul purpose and life path choices, notice if you are trying to follow someone else’s exact instructions!

Gaining ‘guidelines’ from amazing teachers, instructors and gurus is necessary – each of us needs to look for guidance from the one ahead of us on the road, but our uniqueness prevents us from following instructions to the letter.

We simply must find our insights and co-creative union with Source with our own recipes!

Add in your ‘pinch of this’ and ‘dash of that’ in a creative and flexible manner that truly resonates for you. On my website and in my teachings, I provide instructions here and there on ways to ground, to do energy cord cutting, and more – but I fully expect my students and clients to find their own intuitive path within these guidelines.

“I accept within myself that my path, my progress, and my timing are my own, and it is perfect.”

Stop trying to follow exact recipes for your life that belong to someone else. Let your creative intuition take over!

Here are steps that might help when you are frustrated with a process and trying to find your own intuitive path:

  • STOP – relax and take some deep breaths
  • Open to your creative side – “I am an amazing, creative, and generous being, and I am greatly loved.”
  • Ask yourself, “In looking at this process that I am trying to follow, what works for me? What does not?”
  • Ask yourself, “How can I deepen and expand into what works for me?”
  • Review: “What new insights have I discovered about myself and MY LIGHT?”
  • Check in: “Is there a way being revealed (yet) on how I can share this with others?”

Take note for yourself and deepen into what is actually working for you so new discoveries will come your way – and REPEAT.

That would be my recipe, if you want to try it!

Blessings, Robin

Shaman or Professor – What type of Teacher are You?

On By Robin MorlockIn Soul JourneyLeave a comment

As holistic healers and teachers, we have all spent time learning at the feet of our gurus – those Master Teachers who have walked the life path and generously provided their wisdom words for our betterment.

Like me, you may have had some teachers that you resonated with immensely, and then others where it seemed to fall flat. But once we discover our passion – the subject we love, learn and desire to teach – we might think back on past teachers and wonder, “How can I truly reach my students with LIGHT and insights for quantum change?”

Teaching from your Soul Center

An amazing life-path astrologer, Brook Jasmyn, explained the transforming time for Planet Earth that we are all experiencing now. In great service, as Healers & Teachers, we chose THIS TIME to reincarnate and assist humanity in higher consciousness growth.

In light of that, we would be ushering in a different type of teaching than what has been anchored here for the last 2,000 years; bringing the Shaman to take the place of the Professor.

Piscean Age transits to Aquarian Age

Humanity is leaving the Piscean Age and transitioning into the Aquarian Age. This brings in a different type of teacher. Let’s explore what the ‘Ages’ mean:

According to astrology wisdom dating back to Hipparchus in 127 BC, the planet transitions backwards through the astrological signs (based on the vernal equinox transits) every 2,160 years. This means that the planet and humanity experience the qualities of that astrological sign for that period. If each sign is experienced, we have a full transition on the planet of about 25,920 years.

NOTE: this corresponds to the Mayan long count calendar transition where they calculated the end of a cycle of the Earth’s precession (wobble on its axis) – at 26,000 years. This was confirmed through the Milankovitch Theory in the 1920’s.

Many astrologers shorten this period to a straight 2,000 years, for ease in counting, and explain that we are in ‘cross-over’ of both signs at the front and back of each transition. So, for ease in counting, it is said that from approximately 1 AD to the year 2000, we were in the PISCEAN Age. Now, from the year 2,000 to the year 4,000, we will be in the AQUARIAN Age. Each age carries a ‘thought consciousness’ related to that astrological sign that pervades humanity’s growth and actions.

Becoming an Aquarian Teacher

Let’s review a chart that shows us the differences between a Piscean Teacher (our rigid Professor) and an Aquarian Teacher (our soul-centered Shaman):

 How the Teacher relates to the Student

PISCEAN TEACHER                                                AQUARIAN TEACHER                         

Maintain the Status Quo Change the Status Quo
Ultimate Authority in the Universe  Does not want to be Authority Figure
Teacher believes once they have done it one time, they have mastered it, and then they know it all  Teacher believes that the more they learn, the less they know, and the more they want to learn from the subject
Establishes Dominant/Subservient relationship with Student Establishes an equal relationship with Student
One-way street of Dialogue that says, “Learn from me” Two-way street of Dialogue that says, “I might learn from the Student today”
Learn the Hard Way Let’s have Fun!
“Do what I say, not what I do” “I must walk my talk”
Sets Impossible standards for the Student In touch with Reality and sets Realistic Goals with baby steps for the Student
Teacher must convince the Student that as a Teacher, he/she has arrived at perfectionism Teacher stays open and vulnerable to show their imperfections
“Perfectionism Destination” – emulate me “Processing never ends” – continue to grow
Not natural and easy in delivery of message Natural and easy in delivery of message

Many of us have grown up under PISCEAN Age teachers. So while our hearts are moved to teach like an AQUARIAN teacher, we may find our habits influenced by the former.

Open Your Heart and Your Mind

Brook was clear that as an AQUARIAN teacher, you are holding the student’s hand for a temporary time – the Shaman walking beside the student – while you are modeling a new way of Being for the student. As the teacher, you are constantly learning as well. By being honest and authentic about your own journey, you transmit more honor and respect to the student about their own path choices.

I sincerely hope the chart assists you in reviewing where you excel and where you can open and deepen your teaching work. And I thank you, each of you who are choosing to be grounded, strong, and work in the Divine Light – thank you for choosing THIS TIME to teach and bring about compassion, understanding, and healing.

Many blessings to Brook Jasmyn, who has transitioned from this planet, for passing on this important message to Light Healers and Teachers.

Blessings, Robin
