How does our ability to manifest money relate to our Soul’s purpose?

The first thing we have to understand is that our Soul purpose is NOT a job description.  It’s not a mission, a task that is assigned to us by Spirit, nor does our Soul have anything to accomplish in this lifetime.

Out Soul’s purpose is to express itself into this physical lifetime, and to experience itself authentically in this incarnation.  By experiencing itself, the Soul gains a greater understanding of its Divine nature.

Note that nothing about our Soul’s purpose is about becoming anything that we are not.

But now we enter into human collective consciousness.  And what are we taught to do?  To strive, to get “better,” to “make something” of ourselves.  In school, we are taught that being “well-rounded” is a good thing and the most attention is paid where we are lacking.  There’s this idea that “self-improvement” is a good thing.  Even “spiritual development” gives us the impression that there is something to be achieved.

We are not taught to value our natural genius.  In fact, most of us don’t even know what our natural genius is … we’re too busy “improving” ourselves in the areas we deem ourselves lacking.  It took me over thirty years to realize, for example, that I’m a natural writer.  Who knew?  I certainly didn’t … I was too busy struggling to “become” an opera singer.

So let’s get down to manifesting money.

Can financial abundance ever spring from something we are lacking in?  Of course not!  We manifest money when we mine the depths of our natural gifts, the energies and attributes that we are already abundantly blessed with.  Financial abundance comes when we embrace our Soul’s purpose – the authentic expression of our Divine nature – and let the rest go.

When I tell my clients about their natural genius, they are often actually quite disappointed.  That’s because we take our most abundant gifts for granted!  After all, we already HAVE them.  It’s like being appreciative of oxygen … air is so abundant and available that we rarely give it a second thought.

Instead, we tend to covet the gifts we don’t have.  Often, we orient the way we try to make a living not towards our natural genius, but towards the gifts we wish we had, or feel we should have.  We struggle.  We work “hard.”  And we completely ignore that there is an easy way to step into the flow of our natural abundance.

For example, I’m horrible at delegating.  But the entire business community keeps telling me about the importance of building your “team.”  You know what?  I may be terrible at delegating … but I am awesome at doing things myself!

Each of us has an abundance of gifts and talents … right now, in this very moment.  When we bring these to our work and business, abundance cannot help but flow.

For the next week, stop doing what you are not good at.  Just drop it.  Focus on what you do well without even thinking about it.  See what happens.

Spiritual traditions tell us that suffering stems from desire.  I puzzled over that for a long time, because the desire to create something new and different is so natural to the human experience. To be completely without desire seemed to me … well, undesirable.

I’ve lately come to understand that suffering stems from the desire to be something other than what we are!  And let’s face it – we spend a lot of time and energy trying to “improve” and change ourselves. If only we could relax into the totality of who we already are – uniquely, Divinely gifted in our own ways – we could also relax into the totality of abundance that is available to us all.

What are your unique, Divine gifts that you perhaps take for granted?
Blessings,
Andrea
