Hearing Your Soul's Desire

Grab your journal and join me to explore the life you want to create. To know who you are and what your soul desire's to create in this world is one of the greatest challenges you will face. There is so much noise that distracts us and tries to tell us who we should be never who we are. In this talk/workshop I will guide you through an exploration of what your soul desires to create. In addition to some reflection, I will guide you into the energy of your soul desire so you can give it voice.

Transcript

Desire is the driving force of creation.

It initiates the entire creative process.

And desire,

All desire,

Comes from the soul.

We can get it all wrapped up in wants and needs,

And get confused,

And involve our head in the process,

But desire itself always comes from the soul.

Which makes it incredibly important to know who you are,

And what you desire.

It's also one of the most challenging things that we all face,

Because who are we without the noise of the world?

Who are we without the relationships that we have in our lives?

There are a lot of expectations,

There are a lot of pressures,

And within all of those,

We can lose sight of who we are,

And what we desire.

So this talk meets workshop meets opportunity for reflection is a chance for you to tap into who you are,

And what you desire,

And when you understand what you desire,

You're going to be in a position to begin to create it.

You are capable of creating the life that you desire,

But you have to be deeply connected to that desire.

You also have to believe that you are skilled enough to create it,

And capable of doing so,

And also worth being able to create it.

To value yourself sufficiently,

And wholeheartedly enough to give yourself permission to create what you desire.

These are the sorts of things that we trip over all the time as humans,

And when it comes to creating a life that we really,

Truly desire,

And aspects of that life that we desire,

Then we need to give ourselves full permission to go there,

And to do that.

So that's where we're going to begin with this process.

We're going to begin with whether or not you can truly give yourself permission to turn your desire into reality,

Because if there is anything that is hanging over it,

Subconsciously or consciously,

Your desire is going to get put on hold.

You're going to struggle to create it.

Now it may only be the receiving end of it that is your challenge,

It may not be the creating it.

There are two aspects to this.

So you may find it very easy to do all the work to create it,

But then it never quite materialises,

And that's because you have a challenge of receiving it.

So many of us have done a lot of work on ourselves,

We continue to evolve and to grow,

And yet we struggle to land our desires,

We're to actually make them come to life,

And that's the permission piece.

Where we're going to begin with this is to really explore what that desire is and whether or not you feel that you have anything that is in the way of you creating it and receiving it.

So now is an opportunity for you to grab your journal,

Pen and paper,

Or simply just take an opportunity to reflect for a moment.

If you think about the desires that you hold within you that are always making themselves known,

It may be something that you want to create in your life or it may be a feeling that you want to carry with you.

When you think about that desire and then you think about it coming to be,

Coming into reality in your life,

You may sense somewhere in your body a feeling of tightening perhaps,

Or you may have an emotion that is,

That plays out,

Or a thought that catches you as soon as you step into that emotion of that desire and it pulls you back.

So for you,

What is holding you back from this desire that lives within you?

And if you know what is holding you back,

Can you see where you are holding back?

You see there may be all sorts of reservations,

Fears and doubts that come into play.

The challenge of creating this may seem dauntingly huge.

You don't need to have all of the answers at this point,

Just simply need to know where to look.

So at any time during this talk that you want to spend longer reflecting in the moment on any of the questions that are raised,

Just pause the audio and then come back to it when you're ready to go.

So having looked at what is it,

Or where,

What is holding you back and where are you holding back,

Let's deconstruct the issue a little bit because everyone experiences similar doubts and fears but they kind of manifest uniquely for each of us.

So we need to look at our own patterns and behaviour and get very curious about them and why do they come up in that particular way and what does that mean,

So that it opens the door to being able to change those behaviours and patterns.

So when you tap into that desire a pattern of behaviour will be established in your system and it will have you doing things in a particular way.

So the question is really,

How do we do things,

Why do we do things in a certain way?

Why do certain situations trigger specific feelings and behaviours?

Because this is our fears and doubts playing out and they impact our lives and they impact every aspect of our lives so if you,

Most of my clients have a business so those fears that they're holding,

Those doubts that they're holding about their own desires impact their businesses,

They will also impact your relationships and they will impact how you show up in the world.

So this is what we want to understand so that when we are connecting to that desire we can see the behaviours playing out in front of us and when we see them we have the ability to change them.

It's when they're unseen that it's harder to make progress and you're hitting that glass ceiling or hitting the wall that you can't see and constantly brushing up against your own upper limits.

So sometimes we just need to flush them out and force them out into the light and we need to be willing to observe them as they emerge without judgement,

Without any pressures and expectations.

It is simply a process of observation.

And it depends of course on your current on your personality but also on your current mood and your situation as to how easy that is.

So don't feel that you have to have this completely damp hat and perfect it from the outset.

It's a skill that you learn to be that observant and be that objective.

So as you immerse yourself in your desire it's going to raise the issues that are affecting you and it always does.

You're going to be and it always does.

You get more out of the process if you're primed to be expecting those issues to come up.

So let's get clear now on how you are being held back by yourself,

By others,

By beliefs,

Trauma,

Patterns and all sorts of things.

So some questions for you to reflect on.

And there's quite a few here so perhaps you want to write those down or pause and consider each as I go through them.

Whatever works for you.

So the first question is what fears or doubts play up and play out for you most commonly when you lean into doing things differently?

So when you lean into changing your patterns of behaviour,

Changing your habits,

Changing your routines and changing your rhythms.

What doubts or fears play up and play out for you most commonly?

How do those doubts and fears manifest for you?

What behaviours are they triggering?

When you get into that pattern,

How does it suppress your energy and the energy of whatever you choose to be expressing?

So if you have a business,

How is that suppressing the energy of your business as well?

In order to change any of this you need to feel supported to tackle it.

Now that support can come from yourself or it can come from others.

It does not have to always come from others.

It can be something that you change your way of approaching something or you change a habit.

It could be changing the way you think about how you approach something.

So it might be giving yourself more space and time.

There's a lot that you can do to support yourself but you may also need support from others.

So do you feel supported enough to change your behaviours?

And if not what sort of support do you need from both yourself and from others?

How can you get started in giving yourself permission to remove the barriers to you actually creating and receiving what you desire?

So when you've explored those questions we can move on to the next aspect of this which is stepping into the desire that you hold within.

What the mind wants and the soul desires are not necessarily the same thing.

In fact they can be quite radically different.

Often our minds bring nuances and distortions that alter our path or shift our perspective of what we want to be or to create.

But the mind is where our articulation of what's going on in our inner world happens.

So let's start here and we can step back through the layers.

When I ask the question what do you desire to create then there will be something that comes to you straight away.

And what that is may well be rooted deeply in what other people think you need to be creating.

Or who other people think you are.

So if you're really honest that first thing that came to you how much of that is rooted in what you need what you want and what others need or want of you.

So desires can be dressed up as a need.

For example you may be need to,

Need to,

Need to need to,

Need to generate a certain amount of income.

Or you may want to do it in a very particular way so it's nice and easy and it's not complex.

But that's a need and that's a want.

It's not a desire.

So they can often come through dressed up as desires but they are actually the expectations of society and family and friends.

For example your level of success in life is deemed to be benchmarked by your career path.

And yet that may be a million miles away from what is really going on in your,

Inside you.

So what's really coming from you and why is it coming from you?

And you can start to get into this by thinking about what are the values that underpin that desire that you hold in your head.

The values are our North Star of anything when we're working with desire because every desire is rooted in a particular set of values.

So you can ask yourself what are the values that underpin this and that will help to unravel how much of that is a want or a need and how much of it is coming from someone else or somewhere else.

You can go a little bit further then and ask what is the creative expression that fuels that desire?

If you can't articulate the creative expression that fuels it then it is not coming from you.

So if it's not coming from you and if you're now sort of grappling a little bit with something that you're going well I thought this is what I wanted but actually I can't put words to it,

I can't connect it to myself as deeply as I need to.

So if it's not coming from you,

Can you release it?

How can you let go of its hold and its influence?

Now if you're not ready to do that,

That's fine but at least you know.

But if you are ready you think yeah,

I want to move on with my life without this then the question becomes how can you release it?

How can you release its influence over you?

Because it will be interwoven with many of the ways that you perceive and act.

So at a mental level you have this understanding of desire.

But what is really happening energetically?

So I work at a frequency level because I find that it just bypasses all of this mental interference and it allows us to tap directly into what it is that we're here to create.

So frequency level work is entirely different to a logical or mental approach.

Rationale is incredibly valuable to us especially when we use it as a response to our intuitive drivers.

But we do tend to allow that rationale and logic to dominate and old patterns and thoughts tend to be our default response.

So we tend to slide into always having done something that way so it makes it very difficult to change.

If we're in that it's always been done this way space then it becomes very difficult to engage the what if response.

So frequency work is a way of engaging us without that dominating pattern.

So you can just drop into an energy and feel it and it can communicate with you when there are no other avenues of dialogue available to you.

So you can feel it and understand it even though you might not be able to articulate it.

So in order to work at a frequency level you are having to receive with your intuition and allowing your mental interpretation to emerge from the intuitive understanding.

Our normal approach is to think and then feel.

We're going to go the other way around.

We're going to feel and then respond mentally.

So we're going into the frequency of your soul's desire and if you wish to do so you can focus it specifically on an aspect of your life so that you understand that more deeply.

So this is an approach that I've used with my clients and within my community to consider the soul's desire in relation to their businesses.

But you can give it any angle that you choose to use and will be valuable to you at this moment.

So when you go into this you're going to sense it.

Your body is going to be the receiver and when your body has received it then you can allow yourself to come into understanding.

To allow your intuitive wisdom to inform the thoughts that emerge from you.

So your understanding of what's going on.

So the power of your thought is your bridge between your energy,

The energy that you work with and the expression that you give it.

So allow yourself to just get comfortable and settle into your breathing.

Just taking a deep breath initially just to let go of any thoughts or tension that you don't need at this time.

And then take two or three deep breaths with long slow exhales to settle yourself.

And to focus on your breathing at its natural pace just for a minute.

And now place one hand upon your heart and the other on your belly.

Begin to see yourself drawing energy in through your hands into your heart and into your belly.

And as the energy flows into you allow it to build up in intensity.

And as it builds in intensity allow it to move through your body and into the space around you creating your own energetic space that is powerful and peaceful.

And as you settle into this space you can invite in any guides or energies that you feel called to to support you.

Invite your soul to express itself through your body and find its voice through you.

And ask the question what do I desire to create?

And if you are focusing on a specific aspect of your life then give it that emphasis as you frame the question what do I desire to create?

Allow the answer to come in the form that it needs to and be open and receptive to it.

Focus on the physical sensations within your body as the energy moves through you.

Where are you feeling it?

How deep are you feeling it?

Is it an embrace or can you feel your cells responding from within?

There is so much insight to be had from how our bodies respond,

How this energy feels within your body.

What does your soul want you to know about your role with this energy?

As the channel for it and the one moving it.

Allow your body to recalibrate to this energy of your soul to hold this soul energy within your form.

And in this space ask yourself what is my understanding of my soul's desire?

When you have received this acknowledge all the energies that are present including yourself and close the space in a way that makes sense to you and trust yourself in doing so.

Taking a few deep breaths before opening your eyes.

Now take a moment or two and have a drink have a stretch and acknowledge the energetic work that you've just done.

Dropping into this energy is powerful and it's always available to you.

But it still feels intense within your body so acknowledge that and allow yourself that moment to stretch and just come back into your body.

So the question becomes now what is your understanding of your experience?

How does it challenge you to shift your perspective,

Your way of being,

Your understanding of your soul purpose?

Integrating this is the key.

Integrating is finding a place for this.

It's not an over-writing,

It is an integration.

It's taking who you already are and bringing this understanding into play within the context of all that you are.

So we're finding a place for this that's in harmony with all that you have been and all that you are becoming.

So your exploration now is around how what you have felt and sensed builds upon your journey of becoming.

This desire is a string to your bow.

It's an aspect of your expression in this life.

But it will be asking you to up the ante and expand into another version of you.

One that believes in yourself and knows your direction.

And it's asking you to be there for yourself and back yourself up.

So how can you do this?

What steps can you take to support yourself?

Where will you start?

That may seem hugely overwhelming.

You can make it much less so by identifying one single step you can take to begin to put things in motion.

This step does not need to be big.

This step can be in the grand scheme of things.

Really small.

The significance of it is not related to the size of the step.

And it may not feel like a small step.

In your head you may be telling yourself that it's really a minor thing,

But actually in practice it may feel much bigger than that.

So when you have that one step that you can take to begin to put things into motion,

How significant does it feel to take that step?

What reservations do you have?

What excitement do you have about where this is going to take you?

So these are the questions that you can reflect on.

You don't have to do it all in one sitting.

You can take one question at a time and work through it.

But in order to understand your soul's desire and how that then shapes your actions and how it allows you and empowers you to create what you desire to create in the world,

You just need to be clear on a few things.

Be clear on what you're creating.

Be clear on what support you need.

Be clear on how you can give it to yourself.

And be clear on how you will sustain your movement towards your desire.

If you have your focus and your awareness on those key things,

Then you will be able to continue to move towards creating the life and the aspects of your life that your soul truly desires.

You will feel deeply connected to who you are and you will feel empowered to hold on to that sense of identity no matter where life takes you.

Reviews

I found this talk and guided exploration very useful to become clear on my desire and also notice what is on the way. I could feel the core activation of the essence of my desire which is a need but an intrinsic need of the soul to express. Thanks
