Miley Cyrus’s Wild Days… Shadow or Gift Frequency of Her Gene Keys?

Miley Cyrus’s Wild Days… Shadow or Gift Frequency of Her Gene Keys?

I have to say that at the time when Miley Cyrus was dancing around with a foam finger on stage with Robin Thicke, I thought it was strange, but didn’t think much else of it. Another “Disney Star” gone wild, is pretty much the most thought I gave it.

But as she’s matured and has been reflecting back to her younger years, more of the story has unfolded (or maybe it was already out there?). In any case, I thought it would be fun to read up on what actually went down and look at her Gene Keys to see – was she in her shadow when she started shocking the world? Or was she in her Gift or Mastery frequency according to her Gene Keys?

What are the “Gene Keys”?

Before we decide what was happening with Miley, you may be wondering what the heck the Gene Keys even are?

The Gene Keys, conceived by Richard Rudd in 1987, present an innovative approach to personal transformation rooted in a blend of consciousness and ancient wisdom. Inspired by a vision experience Rudd had, the Gene Keys integrate principles from the Chinese I Ching with insights from diverse fields, including biology, theosophy, anthropology, mythology, and indigenous wisdom. These keys are said to offer a unique programming language for self-evolution.

Rudd was a long time student and teacher of Human Design, and the Gene Keys are a dive into the 64 gates that you can find in your body graph.

Each Sphere has 3 Frequencies

We all have a Shadow, Gift, and Siddhi (Mastery) frequency in each sphere. Learning to decipher when you are in your shadow frequency, can be a powerful way to transform your life. Some would call this “shadow work”.

For Miley’s “wild days” it seems most relevant to look at her “Life Purpose” Sphere and see what was happening.

Guess first!

Before you read on, I would love to know what your guess is? Do you think it will be shadow, gift or Siddhi (mastery) frequency when we talk about her wild days when she “used to be young”? Let me know in the comments!

Ok, so here’s my take on it.

If you read about Miley’s departure from Disney, she very much felt like a victim. You can see the shadow of Victimization is right there in her Life Purpose sphere.

Now whether or not you think she was a victim of the conglomerate or not, she felt like she was. Disney was making a ridiculous amount of money off her name – which she didn’t even own rights to at one point – and her family ended up hiring better lawyers to be more protected. But overall she was incredibly underpaid for quite some time for being a star of a show ($15k per episode with 12 hour work days or more). 

But more than that, she felt stifled by how she was meant to act and behave. It’s the whole “good girl” syndrome if you’re familiar with it. In fact, if you look throughout women’s history, any time a woman “goes mad” that is usually code for not conforming to society’s expectations and doing things her way. Imagine that!

Cue to swinging naked from a wrecking ball in a video and the famous foam finger and twerking.

I would argue that when she “went wild” she took back her freedom. Disney had no choice but to cut ties with the no longer squeaky-clean talent.

Miley’s Genius in her Gene Keys:

Her purpose, as you can see in her Gene Keys, is to manifest the Gift of Freedom. Whether or not you like the artist, she took back her freedom when she cut ties with Disney so she could be herself.

And you’ll notice her rebellion quieted down once she had that freedom, which is also interesting.

55 is such a cool Gene Key because it’s the only one where the gift and the Siddhi are the same! So she’s doubly meant to feel free and not under anyone’s control.

gene key sphere 55

I do think she freed herself from a situation where she felt she was taken advantage of and felt too restricted in how she could express herself. I think she embraced her gift of freedom and did what she needed to free herself from Disney’s control which can help her reach a higher expression of freedom, should she continue transforming. 

To be clear, I don’t think being a paid actress on a Disney show is a bad thing in and of itself, but in her case, she didn’t feel paid appropriately or able to evolve as a performer. It led her to feel the desire to break free – with a wrecking ball perhaps – rather than stay as Hannah Montana with the blond wig.

It’s important to note that we don’t necessarily just one-and-done our way out of our shadows. It’s an ongoing process with the goal to spend more time in the higher frequencies than in the shadow as we go.

So? What do you think? In her shadow and it came off as a lower frequency that many found off putting? Or in her gift, taking back her freedom? Maybe it’s a combination of both? Let me know what you think in the comments.

The Gene Keys to Quantum Leap Your Biz – How to Get Started

The Gene Keys to Quantum Leap Your Biz – How to Get Started

So, maybe you’re hearing some talk about the Gene Keys and how much it can quantum leap your business. Well, everything you’ve heard is true! Depending on whether or not you want to take the time to go down the rabbit hole and if you have the patience to digest what you find.

Exploring your Gene Keys can be an unexpectedly, intuitive journey of self-discovery that’s all about YOU!

It’s an incredible tool that can help you peel back the layers of conditioning that have built up energetically over time to allow you to shine brightly so your soul clients can find you.

Like actually see and hear you through all the social media noise.

But I’m not going to lie, it’s COMPLEX. Breaking down the information into small steps and then applying them little by slow is what allows you to see the results and really feel the impact of this powerful tool.

So where should you even start? Today I’m sharing how you can get started on your contemplation journey without getting stuck in “analysis paralysis” and saying, “Forget it!”

 

The Basics

We all start life with our own set of superpowers, our core abilities. But here’s the catch. As we grow, we experience conditioning. Everyone experiences it because our past experiences shape our future behavior.

Conditioning is a sneaky thing that influences you more than you realize.

conditioning is sneaky

Conditioning is one of those words that gets thrown around a lot, but have you ever stopped to think about how it can affect you and your entrepreneurial journey?

I was thinking about this the other day… about how easily we’re conditioned, and how quickly we change our behavior going forward without giving it another thought.

Most people talk about the conditioning you experienced growing up. The way you perceived the world, or what adults told you that you could and could not do, and it became part of your unconscious programming, aka “conditioning”.

And of course, if you’re not mindful of it, the leading thought leaders will caution you that it becomes a limiting belief you hold in the future. An “upper limit” if you will (see: “The Big Leap”, a Road Trip and the Secret to Happiness?).

But I think it’s more than that. I think it’s our everyday life as we’re plugging along and if we’re not mindful of it, we create these new ways of being without even realizing it!

For example, and this is just a small example, the other day I was taking out the trash and I walked into a spiderweb on the side of our house.

Now I’ve taken out the trash a million times and just this ONE time I walked into a spider web.

So, the next time I went out there, I looked for a spider web. I was extra careful, I paused, and my heart rate went up a little trying to make sure I didn’t walk into anything scary or sticky.

I noticed I did this the next time and the next time too!

All because one time there was a web, even though ALL the other times there wasn’t.

One small, tiny event has caused me to alter my behavior, and say years from now I may not even remember why I pause in that same spot when I take out the trash, it will just be part of how I operate.

Now I know this is a simple and less complex way to look at conditioning, but I wanted you to see how easily we can change our behavior based on something that either happened, or we PERCEIVED to have happened.

 

Conditioning in Business

When you think about this for your business there is so much more pressure on it.

And if what you are creating in your business or career has to do with creating your dream life and or wanting to create an impact in the world? Well, there’s so much more pressure than just a sticky web.

Being an entrepreneur can actually create a certain amount of trauma if you feel deeply connected to your vision.

You put out your best offer and nothing happens. No engagement, no buyers, no interest… it affects the next time you put yourself out into the world.

What happens is that over time we forget that our guard is up, that we’re no longer putting ourselves out there Soul-Aligned, because we start trying to do things someone else’s way because OUR way didn’t work.

But did it truly not work? Are you sure it was the right time for your offer? Did you believe in it 100% and decide you were getting it out there no matter what??? Did you shout it from the rooftops and knock on people’s virtual doors telling them about your amazing thing?

And… when you truly get down to it, is it in your core, your soul being, what you really want to do or did you choose something that you thought would work instead (been there!).

It’s like when you go for a job you don’t want and then you’re bummed you don’t get it, right?

There’s nothing wrong with taking a 9 to 6 office job and building a nest egg, and there’s no shame in pursuing your dreams and experiencing trial and error.

I bring up conditioning because we’ve often strayed from that part of ourselves who wanted more.

The one who wanted our dream life and to schedule our day in a way that honors our energy.

You may want financial freedom, or perhaps your root center LOVES a steady paycheck and the ability to leave work at work at the end of the day and not take it home with you.

Maybe you want to travel and work from anywhere or perhaps you just want a beautiful backyard with a hot tub in it (me!).

This is why I love Human Design and the Gene Keys because it’s like a “Lost Dream” detector we all have access to. Free access to, no less.

Human Design and the Gene Keys has brought me back to ME. My soul signature. The person I started out being before I graduated college with big dreams and entered “the real world”.

If you think Corporate America isn’t the best at conditioning, well… I would say we’ll have to agree to disagree because it’s built on people falling in line and as much as people say they don’t want “group think” they LOVE group think.

Understanding who I am at my CORE, even going back to my teenage rebellious self is LITERALLY right there in my Hologenetic Profile.

It’s who I was before I wanted to move up the corporate ladder and then before I got my “six-figure blogger” dreams which led me down the path of copywriting.

Are you ready to remember who you are at your Core?

That’s what allows you to magnetically attract people into your little corner of the world because you vibrate at a higher frequency.

If you’re ready, let’s have a little fun!

 

Ready to Start Your Journey? Here’s how to take that first step.

Let’s start small by looking at ONE thing in your Hologenetic profile. I say one thing because even though looking at just one sphere sounds small, it’s not.

Today I’m going to show you how to look up your “Life’s Work” sphere and what that means.

TO START:

You can watch this video OR follow the steps below:

  1. Go to genekeys.com​ and download your free profile.

gene keys where to begin

Look at the very top sphere “Life’s Work” to see where it is.

gene keys where to begin

Then go to the paragraph provided and read that ONE paragraph. This one sphere is the beginning of how the Gene Keys help you unlock your genius and it’s the very first step.

gene keys where to begin

Don’t get tempted to look at everything on your chart!

 

Notice each has a shadow, gift, siddhi plus line keynote.

gene keys where to begin

These are your energetic frequencies for your Life’s Work.

 

That’s great Nicole but what do I do with this information?

Well, my friend you “contemplate” it.

The Gene Keys are a journey of contemplation.

Richard Rudd, the author of the Gene Keys, wrote this powerful tool in 2002, and it took him seven years to complete. He was a student of Ra Uru Hu, the founder of Human Design, and underwent a mystical experience that led to the emergence of the Gene Keys. These keys are a contemplative tool to unlock your path of transformation and prosperity.

As Richard Rudd puts it, “The Gene Keys are a code that you contemplate. And as you contemplate, they come alive inside you.”

This isn’t just a passive journey; it’s an active exploration of your Soul Signature.

Take your time to let this information sink in. It’s all about rediscovering your true self, peeling away the layers of conditioning, and living a life that’s uniquely you.

It’s how you start to decondition all those rules, habits, beliefs, and places you’ve strayed from your intuition and bring it back to your true soul signature.

It’s fascinating to explore for your life in general but especially helpful for me as a professional copywriter to be able to align someone’s Gift and Siddhi to their copy. It’s what makes you magnetic!

 

Rediscovering Yourself

If you ever felt like you’ve lost touch with who you are, you’re not alone. The hustle of life can take you away from your true self. The Gene Keys can help you reconnect with that inner spark.

Whether you’re an artist, a business owner, or a dreamer, they can guide you back to your authentic self.

When you find your Life’s Work sphere, take time to think about what that means for you. What shadow shows up for you? Do you feel that? Did you used to feel it?

How often are you in your gift vibrational energy?

You can check out this video on how to transmute your shadow for more information if you’d like.

When you’ve had time to explore your life’s work sphere, come back to this post and leave a comment about what you’ve found, or tag me on Insta at @theawakenedprofessional. I’d love to hear it.

How to Use the Power of Pendulums for Pricing Your Business Products

How to Use the Power of Pendulums for Pricing Your Business Products

Pricing your products or services can often feel like a tricky balancing act. You want to set a price that’s fair to your customers while ensuring your business remains profitable.

But what if I told you there’s a unique and intuitive way to approach pricing? In this blog post, I share how to use pendulums to align your energy with your pricing strategy.

By tapping into your sacral and gut feelings, you can set prices that not only make sense for your business but also resonate with your potential clients.

energy of pricing

The Energy of Pricing

When it comes to pricing, your energy and intuition play a crucial role. Your pricing decisions are not just numbers on a page; they carry a vibe that can be sensed by potential customers. If you doubt your price, your clients will pick up on that doubt. If you undervalue your product or service, it will reflect in your pricing strategy. To create a successful pricing structure, you must align your energy with it.

Here are some tips to use a pendulum when deciding how to price your product or services.

Step 1: Ignore the Competition:

Instead of looking at what others in your industry are charging, turn inward. Trust your inner guidance system, which is often more in tune with your business than external benchmarks. This is where the pendulum comes into play.

Step 2: The Pendulum Technique:

**Choose Three Price Points:**

Start by selecting three different price points: a low, middle, and high number. These should be based on what you believe your product or service is worth at its best!

**Program Your Pendulum:**

If you’re new to using a pendulum, it’s essential to program it so you know what is a “yes” and what is a “no”.

Hold it in your dominant hand and, ask it to “show you yes” and then “show you no”. It should swing up and down for one, side to side for the other, or in a circle.

WATCH: HOW TO PROGRAM YOUR PENDULUM TO GET ANSWERS AND CLEAR ENERGY

Next, while focusing on your intent, say something like, “This pendulum will help me make pricing decisions that are aligned with my business and my clients’ needs.”

**Ask Your Pendulum:**

With your pendulum in hand, ask it to choose between the three price points. You can frame your question like this: “Is [say one of your numbers] the ideal price for my product X?”

Step 3: Trust Your Feelings:

Regardless of what your pendulum indicates, pay close attention to how you feel about the answer. Your emotions are a valuable compass in this process.

**Disappointment:**

If your pendulum suggests the lower price, but it leaves you feeling disappointed, then that’s a clear sign that it’s not the right price for you or your clients.

**Excitement:**

On the other hand, if the pendulum points to a price that excites you, it’s a positive indication that this price resonates with your energy and could be the right choice.

In the world of business pricing, it’s essential to balance market realities with your inner intuition and energy. By incorporating the use of a pendulum into your pricing strategy, you can find a harmonious price point that not only reflects the value of your products or services but also aligns with your feelings and your clients’ perceptions.

Remember, the pendulum should guide you, but your intuition, business sense and emotions should have the final say. Trust in the power of your intuition, and you’ll find pricing success that benefits both you and your customers.

Is Human Design a Good Tool for Hiring? One Former HR Pro Shares the Risks

Is Human Design a Good Tool for Hiring? One Former HR Pro Shares the Risks

When it comes to self-discovery and scaling your business, I felt like stumbling upon Human Design was like discovering a hidden treasure chest. It was as if my intuition found its validation and I was immediately hooked.

This concept not only breathed clarity into my business, but also ignited a journey of personal growth. It allowed me to narrow my focus and follow through on my creative ideas in a way that had felt so illusive before.

Finally, a world where introspection meets entrepreneurship, where something as accessible as a free Human Design chart can serve as a blueprint to navigate the complexity of wanting to achieve your goals, but with purpose, and impact (yes, please!).

Not only did this work for me, but I shared my insights with my clients and they started finding the same clarity and magnetic energy I was experiencing too.

BUT… as I scoured the internet watching every video and researching everything about Human Design I could get my hands on, I started to hear people talk about hiring by design.

It made sense. Entrepreneurs were finding their own success by understanding their soul’s signature energy, so naturally, they wanted to match their Human Design chart with that of their job candidate’s chart to make their hiring decisions.

As a former Human Resources professional, even though I love Human Design, immediately alarm bells went off for me!

 

What is Human Design?

Human Design is a relatively modern system of self-discovery that combines astrology, the I Ching, the Kabbalah, and the Chakra system, among other ancient wisdom traditions, with modern science and technology.

Ra Uru Hu is said to have channeled Human Design in 1987 on the island of Ibiza and it has been growing in popularity significantly over the past several years. More and more entrepreneurs and small business owners are using the information in their Human Design Body Graphs to catapult the results in their businesses.

It is based on the idea that each person is born with a unique energetic blueprint that determines their personality, their strengths and weaknesses, and their life path. It is meant to help you rely on your inner authority instead of information from others. It is your inner compass when it comes to decision making, giving you the information you can trust the most.

 

Why it’s tempting to hire by matching your Human Design chart to that of your candidate’s chart.

The reason so many people are drawn to using Human Design in their hiring processes is because there’s the theory that certain people complete your open channels.

We all have parts of our charts (body graphs) that are considered “open” or “undefined”. These open energy centers, often benefit from being around someone who has a closed center.

(That doesn’t mean it has to be a co-worker or employee, though. You can be in public spaces and find this energy satisfied.)

But the premise that’s gaining popularity is if someone completes the places in your chart that are not colored in, you will have the ability to get results and be in your genius more easily. More specifically, if they complete your open channels (energy centers), together you will be unstoppable!

So why would I say not to use such a powerful tool? I’ll explain it.

 

The risk of using human design in your hiring practices (and it’s a big one).

First of all, though it’s been a decade since I’ve been professionally staffing in a corporate office, I am sure that “Adverse Impact” is of no less importance than it used to be.

If you are so focused on someone’s Human Design chart, you risk overlooking a diverse selection of people for your business needs and might not consider a wide enough talent pool when selecting candidates.

Hiring bias is a real thing. You already need to keep in mind that not everyone interviews well, has the fanciest resume, or that sometimes one gender over the other is better at negotiating salary and subsequently often gets paid higher (see: The Glass Ceiling, Is it a Myth?). To also look at someone’s Human Design chart and make decisions based on that for your hiring has the potential to create quite a bit of group think and hiring bias, potentially adversely impacting specific cultures and races.

To put it bluntly, what if all the “generators” that apply are white? And you weed out all the “projectors” who apply who are not white?

Do you see the problem?

Back when I was working in HR, we used a personality test in reviewing our candidates. But we were trained on how to recognize that people aren’t their test. It was meant to be a tool to help a manager be able to manage their employee’s strengths and weaknesses and we were cautioned against using it as the basis for the hiring decision. (see: Beware The Legal Risks Of Personality Tests In Hiring

Human Design is even more risky because a personality test can change depending on your mood and growth over time, but Human Design is based on the time, date, and location of your birth – meaning you can’t change it!

So, if people start deciding that “generators” get more work done, or manifesting generators make the best strategic managers – that can create all kinds of problems down the road.

But it’s about more than just being inclusive in your hiring practices and WANTING different perspectives and points of view for your business so you can connect to the widest variety of people possible.

Your chart doesn’t mean that is how you operate. Most people are blissfully unaware of their human design and subsequent shadows and conditioning at play.

This is about ASSUMING that what you see on paper for someone’s Human Design body graph is who they are.

It’s not predetermined that they’re somehow STUCK with their chart qualities!

 

Your chart isn’t an accurate representation of how you work.

This is a HUGE factor that people are forgetting when it comes to using Human Design in your hiring practices.

Someone who has been evolving in their career has learned to overcome – or “decondition” – their open centers – even if they’ve never heard of Human Design.

human design in hiring

 

For example, I have an open root center in my Human Design chart. For me, this has presented in life as feelings of “not enough money” or feeling unstable (see: How to say Goodbye to Waiting-for-the-Other-Shoe-to-Drop Syndrome). I feel best with a healthy savings account and plenty of money to pay the rent. (I also have the Accumulator Archetype in Denise Duffield-Thomas’s quiz.)

I don’t like to take huge financial risks because I like to have those safety and security feelings so that I can take big risks elsewhere – like in my business or travel adventures.

Because I’ve been career-driven and awakening for many years, I’ve learned how to decondition and support this open root center.

I know how to create feelings of safety and security, like cuddling with a cozy blanket or gratitude practices, so that it doesn’t interfere with my ability to be an entrepreneur.

In fact, this is what I often help clients with so they can pursue their life’s work without getting derailed by an open root center.

Human Design is to help you thrive, not put you in a box!

 

Risky Messages Are Being Shared

I’ve heard one of the louder voices out there who is using Human Design in her business saying her Human Design type is a Projector and when she fired all the Projectors on her team, her business thrived.

She felt they didn’t get anything done because they didn’t have a Generator (the Human Design type who is said to naturally have the energy and stamina to finish projects) on the team.

Again, alarm bells went off for me because if you simplify your business in this way and start firing, or hiring, people based on their Human Design body graph, I’m sure you are a lawsuit waiting to happen.

It also clues me in that you don’t know how to manage a team!

And more importantly, you are missing the point!

Projectors are designed to work in spurts. That doesn’t mean they won’t get things done. They may come up with a genius idea that your business needs but the whole team may benefit from a Virtual Assistant to outsource some of the detailed, implementation work too.

That person who fired her “projector” team may have done so after they helped her build the entire business model and she captured all their great ideas! They may have helped with the creativity and the vision of her business, but she just didn’t know how to balance the energies to get the work done.

Just saying.

 

In any case, I’ve heard people say they won’t hire a “Manifesting Generator” or a “Projector”, or they spend time looking for the Holy Grail of people who complete the exact channel they need to complete their open channels and I say “Good luck with that!”

I think the universe puts your team together if you are in tune with your intuition, anyway.

It’s YOUR responsibility to get good at hiring and learn how to ask questions that allow you to understand how your prospective employee operates.

And you’re better off with small assignments in the beginning in a freelance capacity (if you’re an entrepreneur) rather than hiring “By Design”.

Because even if someone has the body graph you love, it doesn’t mean they are living in line with their human design. That’s like saying every Astrology sign lives completely in line with their birth sign.

It’s so much more complex than that!

 

Human Design is complex

One of the other things that really concerns me about hiring by design is that Human Design, and its counterpart, The Gene Keys, is very complex!

Having people who deeply understand how to apply this to the workforce without bias is going to be a challenge at this stage of its evolution.

If you simply look at a chart, but you are not sharing that information with your candidates or employees, it’s not the experiment it’s designed to be.

As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, I began using Human Design and information from the Gene Keys with my Copywriting clients and as a digital product to help people DIY their magnetic copy. The reason this worked is because they received the information, but were free to use it as a tool in their own lives.

I did not tell them how to use it, I simply shared what I saw in their chart and how they may consider their energy to be the most empowering.

Off they went to experiment with it and see if they felt more aligned and had more clarity when they applied their chart.

But I ALWAYS caution that if your intuition says something else – always follow your intuition first.

We’re here to grow and evolve and you will find the resources and tools as you need them.

It’s also closed-minded of a business owner to presume they know what each Human Design type brings to the table – and assume it’s only that.

Human Design is a much better idea to use post-hiring, like how the personality tests I mentioned were applied, as a way to help your employees thrive.

 

Post-Hiring Human Design

Once you’ve found your employee, or freelancer, if you have a good understanding of Human Design, that is where I recommend using his or her chart to help the two of you thrive on your team.

Back in my HR days, we used to say “Get the right person on the bus and in the right seat” (yes, it’s a Good to Great reference).

We focused on hiring “A” Players (high achievers), and then figuring out his/her strengths, so we could create the most dynamic and high-performing teams.

And it worked! The end result was less turnover, fewer employee relations problems, a better work environment, and more job satisfaction.

Human Design would be a great tool to help your workers thrive once hired instead of weed them out because of preconceived notions. Unless you are so skilled you can develop questions to determine if they have deconditioned areas in their chart – it just has too much risk at the moment.

 

Bottom line.

At this time hiring by Human Design creates more potential for harm than it does for good.

You just can’t assume everyone is living in line with their Human Design body graph and it would take such an immense understanding of a very complex system to create that kind of matchmaking.

You just don’t know which shadows and areas someone has already deconditioned! You also can’t assume a chart accurately depicts their work ethic and skills. Maybe they’re a Generator but they hate their career choice and rarely show up, for example.

And you also don’t want to hire only a specific race unintentionally because you weren’t mindful in your hiring practices to be inclusive of ALL candidates and cast a wide net.

So, while I love Human Design and The Gene Keys, and can talk about it all day every day, I don’t recommend using it in your hiring practices because there are too many assumptions involved if you have not been fully trained and living in your experiment for a long time.

And even then, to tell a highly qualified candidate “Shoot. You’re totally qualified and have the experience but you’re not a Manifesting Generator and I really want only that because they’re better at strategy,” seems wrong. You’re not giving them a chance because of the day they were born? That just doesn’t make sense.

You also can’t be sure they’ve learned how to embrace their design, even if they are the specific gem you think you’ve found.

The good news is that as more and more people learn to embrace their design, they will be applying to jobs where they can thrive. As individuals, the more we understand ourselves, the more we know what we’re great at and the less the employer has to try to figure it out.

In the meantime, that’s where you’re mindful interviewing questions come in, right?

I’d love to hear from you! Let me know how you are using Human Design in your business and if you’ve been thinking about applying it to your hiring processes. How are you making sure to be inclusive if that’s the case?

How to See the Best Life Your Higher Self Can Show You

How to See the Best Life Your Higher Self Can Show You

A few years ago, I took an Intuitive Clairvoyant Certification Program that really should’ve been called “shadow work on steroids so you can REALLY access your higher guidance”.

It was basically how to give psychic readings without your B.S. getting in the way and as you probably know, shadow work can be unsettling but is also super upleveling!

The climax of this class was a meditation where you visit with 4 possible future lives for yourself:

A crappy life, an okay life, a pretty good life, and a great one.

Then your higher self chooses which one you merge with to create for yourself.

The beauty of it is that you can ask each life “What did I do to get here?”

The crappy life was pretty obvious for everyone in the class and no one merged with it.

(In those crappy lives, we’d all turned our back on our spiritual gifts and passion and it didn’t turn out well.)

The great life is one that surprised me. I asked what I did to get there and they showed me that I get these flashes of insight for my client’s (for their books, sales copy, email funnels, business strategy, and even before an intuitive reading, etc.). But I wasn’t paying enough attention to it. I share it with the clients but I wasn’t specifying that I’ve had this great intuitive insight that came to me in the morning as a result of connecting to them and that I was shown how to put it all together and market it.

At that time, I often downplayed my gifts or didn’t even acknowledge them. I wasn’t even acknowledging to the universe that I was thankful I received it!

Can you relate to that? Do you too have some natural abilities that you overlook as special or unique to you?

In the “pretty good life” (just short of being like the great one), I saw that I had downplayed my gifts and the life was just that, pretty good. I couldn’t complain. Nothing was bad but nothing really stood out either.

But in the great future life, I was in a saltwater pool, by the beach, floating and looking up at the palm trees. I felt so serene and free. I loved floating in that water and savoring every moment of it.

In that great life, I didn’t downplay my gifts. In fact, people paid me well for the ideas and it felt rewarding to have created a life I loved, based on allowing this information to come through and actually acknowledging my role in it – instead of being my biggest critic and actually giving myself some props (we all need this!).

If you downplay your gifts, others won’t value them much either – that was my takeaway.

We should all value our gifts, shouldn’t we?

It’s really our connection to our higher self, our spiritual support team and it’s how we take the time to be a clear channel – which is something that takes dedication and self-love to do.

I invite you to try a similar meditation. Here’s what you can do:

1. Clear your energy.

Set a nice energetic container around you and connect to your Higher Self. (see my Energy Clearing Tips I use for intuitive writing if you’d like more help)

 

2. Take time to breathe and enter a meditative state. You can use music if you’d like.

 

3. Ask your Higher Sefl to show you a not so great life, a mediocre life, a pretty good life and a great one.

 

4. In each one ask, “What did I do to get here?”

 

5. Choose the one that makes you the most excited and write down the steps you took.

 

Because I would love for you to create a great future life for yourself and skip the crappy one!

I’m telling you, seeing it in meditation is enough to keep me motivated and I think you’ll feel that too.

Let me know if you try it!

How Much Do You Trust Your Intuition in Your Business? (Like Really Trust It)

How Much Do You Trust Your Intuition in Your Business? (Like Really Trust It)

I want to share something about what I’ve found to be very difficult when it comes to being a Spiritual Entrepreneur.

I had a calling over a decade ago that felt like I was meant to channel messages in the form of blog posts.

“You have to tell them this, Nicole”, I would hear (I’m clairaudient).

And so I would.

I learned WordPress. Set up a blog and started to write.

About 20 or so of my family and friends read and commented about it.

But… that didn’t feel like fulfilling a calling. It didn’t satisfy the longing I had that I had come to the planet at this time to do SOMETHING.

So I worked harder. I took blogging courses and was in blog groups where we shared each other’s posts. I learned how to make Pinterest graphics and write better content.

And still… very few people would comment on my blog posts and I didn’t know if it was reaching anyone. No matter how much effort I put in!

I did my “inner work” too! I worked with mentors and coaches, both business and spiritual. Nothing seemed to change the outcome; I put out more energy and effort than was returned in terms of traffic, followers, or subscribers.

When you have a calling…

You see, my calling wasn’t to write (though I LOVE writing). My calling was to help people.

My calling is to make awakening easier, especially as it relates to your life’s work. I felt an all-consuming pull to deliver the messages coming through me, and it didn’t feel like they were being delivered.

I did “all the things” the experts say to do. I wrote to an avatar (THIS post explains why I no longer believe in Avatars ), focused on reaching just one person, and learned SEO so people can find me in a google search. You name it. I tried it.

After a while, I made an unpopular decision. I decided to write when I felt like it. I would publish posts when I felt moved to. I would let clients find me and balance my Intuitive Writing with my family life.

It’s been a VERY HARD thing to do. It meant I had to stop worrying. Stop watching the numbers. No longer care about traffic or subscriber counts.

I WANTED TO LET MY WORK SHOW ME WHAT IT WANTED ME TO DO.

Because when I was writing to those 20 family and friends in my first blog, I loved it. I wasn’t questioning anything; I would just go for my morning walk, give the kids some toys to play with, and write away.

That’s what I think is so hard about being a Spiritual Entrepreneur.

Where are your people?

how much do you trust your intuition

You want to help people but don’t know how to reach them!

You want to fulfill your purpose, but you may not know how to support it financially.

And if you have an open root chakra and have grown up with the other shoe dropping and scarcity – it’s a challenging leap of faith, to say the least.

My advice (if you want to hear it because what works for me may not work for you) is to decide how you feel about your intuitive downloads.

Do you trust them? How much do you trust them?

When I decided I either trusted my intuition or I didn’t, that’s what finally made me stop being concerned about my numbers and TRUST that everything is unfolding as it should.

It allowed me to stand in my power.

I’ve also learned my audience can be quiet. My audience prefers to email or DM me rather than comment on a post.

I’ve met people years later who will tell me one of my posts helped them and I had no idea!

I just put it out there. And I get unsubscribes and new subscribers just like everyone else.

Some of my launches are successful, and some were met with crickets.

The only difference is that now I trust my intuitive guidance, and I’m seeing where it leads me.

And I keep getting the most amazing clients, who have found me in a google search when I went against what the SEO says to do…

I’ve learned the universe will just handle things if we can get out of our own way, get better at accessing our intuition, and then TRUST it! Which isn’t easy… believe me, I know.

Whatever you are doing in the world, I think you’re making more of a difference than you think. You may just have a quiet audience or be part of a bigger plan.

Just know that it’s not always easy to trust your intuition when it comes to your livelihood and your financial security, but if you get really clear on how to access it then it’s time to stop second guessing it!

You can always work your side hustle or plan for the day when you’re all in on your business or career growth. My advice would be to carry out your intuition AS YOU RECEIVED IT instead of taking a baby step, not seeing the results you expected and starting over.

It can take time for the universe to line up your dreams and for you to have the vibration to allow it. Learning to stay the course because you KNOW your intuition wasn’t wrong is a power move when it comes to getting what you want and fulfilling your soul’s desires.

Do you trust your intuition when it comes to your business or career? And if so, how much do you trust it?

Even if you write and it seems like no one is listening?

Even if you share on social media and it looks like no one is viewing it?

Even if you feel 100% driven to create a digital product and no one buys it the first time?

You may be one small tweak away from something great.

Second guessing may be just the energy to derail you.

Learn to trust your intuition and go for it!
