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!
XoXo,
