Fighting Against Our Gifts | by Madisyn Taylor As human beings we often have a tendency to fight against using our natural gifts. Many stories of success start with an individual who is ignoring the call of his or her inborn abilities. There are many possible reasons for this resistance, from fear that the calling will be too difficult to a disbelief in the very work one is being asked to do. We may feel too small, too distracted by other people's ideas about what we should do, or too uninformed. Whatever the case, the resistance to actualizing ourselves has very concrete consequences, and many of us have been called out of hiding by an illness or a twist of fate that unequivocally dismantled our resistance. In other the words, the universe knocks, and if we don't answer it knocks louder. For example, if you are meant to be a psychic or a medium, and you aren't using that gift, you may get headaches. If you are meant to be a healer and are trying to be a lawyer, you may have trouble getting or keeping a job. This doesn't mean that you can't still be a lawyer, but perhaps integrating your gifts into your work is what is calling you. On the other hand, you may simply feel an underlying anxiety that you are not on the right path, doing the right thing. Pay attention to this feeling, and ask for guidance from the universe, being open to all its communications, from subtle internal yearnings to powerful dreams. As you begin to risk opening the door to your natural gifts, your life situation may shift in a powerful way. However, you may find that small steps in the right direction, such as taking a class or setting aside one night a week to paint or write, is enough for now. The first step on the journey to our calling in life is to listen to our internal voices and respond to the knocking universe at the door. As we do, the symptoms and anxieties that have haunted us will fade into the background, replaced by opportunities, both big and small, to open the door to what we are truly here to do. | DailyOM Course Spotlight by Mary Lane Many of us know the importance of taking care of our bodies. We also know it is important to care for our Earth. In a complicated world that has not supported the health of either the task may seem rather daunting. We can live and nourish ourselves in a way that supports not only the health of our bodies, and the Earth, but our human journey of evolution. This course is designed to acquaint you with the rhythm and flow of the Earth's wisdom through our relationship with nourishment. I use the ancient Taoist 5 Element System of Nutrition to articulate the language of nature. The Taoists are one of many ancient cultures who embodied their oneness with nature and created a way of life to support it. Grounding our spiritual journey, bringing it down to Earth and into our daily lives, strengthening our self love and care is much needed at this time. Take this healing and empowering journey with me; grounded in the Earth's wisdom with seasonal foods, herbs, cooking methods, and practical daily tips that sustains life and balance.
