1. Know
What You Are Seeking
The life you know isn't fulfilling you, but you don't even know
what you are yearning for.
As a result, you fall into an endless search for that missing
piece outside of yourself through money, sex, relationships,
substances, the general acquisition of more things you believe
will make you happy, or even spiritual practices that promise
you answers and tranquility.
Whether you believe you desire joy, inner-peace, social
recognition, a cure, or something else; at the core, what you
are seeking is freedom.
Freedom to own your brilliance and magic, and to express all
your gifts and uniqueness. Freedom to do and create whatever
your heart desires.
And freedom to design a life that honors your choices and voice.
2. Own
Your Birthright
Freedom isn't something that can be purchased, bargained for, or
even acquired, that is because freedom is your ultimate
birthright - you are born a sovereign being with intrinsic,
absolute and unconditional freedom.
Nothing and no one
can ever take it away from you, not even at the moment of your
death.
Your essence, or the True You is eternal Source Energy, and the
only thing Source Energy knows is limitless creation, expression
and expansion.
In fact, this aspect of your being is what causes the anger and
frustration whenever you allow external circumstances to make
you feel limited and restrained.
When your True Self
desires to express itself as a jazz musician but you are going
through a soul death at the office slaving eleven hours a day
for an egocentric boss, there is a drastic vibrational gap
between who you believe you are, and Who You Truly Are, and that
vibrational gap gives you a kick in the gut, aka, the
feeling of dissonance to alert you to follow your internal
guidance.
You are the only being in this world who has the power to tap
into your absolute freedom and reclaim your power from life, and
until you can own your birthright 100% without giving into
external circumstances, you will always be bargaining for your
freedom and cheapening your worth.
All transformation
begins with owning your freedom.
3. Release
All Conditions
Living in world where we are programmed to attach a "condition
tag" to everything, it is so easy to get sucked into the mental
trap of,
"I'm in debt, how
can I be free" or "I can only feel the peace and safety once
I ____" (insert whatever conditions you have).
The thing is, if your ultimate freedom depends on that
promotion, the number on your bank account statement, love from
another, or social validation, what happens to you once the
condition is removed?
Worse, once you believe a condition must be met in order for you
to experience any desired state of being, you are actually
jeopardizing your own creative power by closing doors to other
options that can deliver the same desired state of being while
limiting your own freedom.
No freedom can be unconditional if you place terms and
conditions of any kind around it.
The moment you do,
you are unconsciously giving it away, and will always be looking
for it outside of yourself.
4.
Consciously Embody Your Desires
You may be thinking to yourself this article is encouraging the
releasing of all earthly desires. It is not.
On the contrary, I am the last person on earth who believes in
mindless and unconscious self-deprivation in the name of
empowerment or enlightenment, and I coach and teach the
importance of having fun, and boldly embracing your dreams and
desires in life CONSCIOUSLY without giving your power away.
Selling and donating all belongings and retreating from the
world is a beautiful path for some, while creating in, and
enjoying this game of life is a glorious path for others.
Both are empowering
if chosen with complete consciousness and love, and there is no
right or wrong:
there is only the
path that is most aligned with what your True Self has come
to earth to accomplish.
No one can tell you
what that is except you.
To blindly renounce all your desires in life for the sake of
following others' teachings is simply another form of mental
enslavement and low self-worth that often leads to
more resentment, powerlessness and lack.
This is the reason
why many spiritual seekers dwell in lack while equating
conscious desires to unconscious materialism, but secretly
wishing for more abundance with inner conflict.
In order to claim your ultimate freedom, you must only walk the
path that feels most joyous to you and shine your own light
rather than relying on others to tell you how to shine.
After all, you are Divinity having a bit of fun in a
human body, and you did choose to come to the earthly realm
to create, so,
why not treat
yourself like the God or Goddess you are, and surround
yourself with beauty, abundance and joys in a way that feels
right to you, that honors you, others and the planet?
The difference is
once you have owned your unconditional freedom and worth, and
released your terms and conditions on "what should be", your
desires in life are no longer bound by programmed beliefs from
others, or the need for approval and acceptance.
As a result, you may still feel called to create conscious
success, legacy projects, or community, but these desires
vibrate on a very different frequency than the ego
desires you may have once held, and whatever creative juices
that are flowing within you stem from your soul mission,
authenticity and power.
By releasing all desires that were generated by fears of
the ego, you are simply freeing
up inner space to channel whatever Source Energy wants you to
Be, Do, and Create.
Nothing is more
liberating than this!
5. Master
Your Inner World
To stay centered in your freedom, and exercise your power of
choice requires you to master your own thoughts and be able to
choose a different perspective whenever you view yourself to be
the victim of your surroundings.
You may identify yourself with every thought that goes through
your head, but those thoughts are nothing more than learned
ideas and adopted beliefs from others that found their way into
your mind throughout your lifetime.
Your freedom meter in life can be measured by how much energy
you invest into distressing and disempowering thoughts.
The more you repeat
them, act from them and react to them, the more they clutter the
creative space within you and the less freedom you are able to
access in life.
A shift in an emotional state sometimes does not come from a
change of external circumstance, but from how you choose to
perceive what is.
Surrendering to life
is a choice overlooked by many, but in the end, it IS
a conscious choice.
In any experience in life, vibrationally, you can only be an
enslaved victim or a liberated creator; there is no middle
ground.
You can succumb to
life believing things are being done to you, or you can embrace
whatever life is offering you, and know that on some level, your
True Self has willfully chosen this experience for your soul
evolution.
If you choose the latter, you are activating the divine freedom
each of us has inherited from birth, but few have tapped into,
and are at liberty to write whatever stories you wish to write
in your journey of conscious creation.
