I’m meant to serve, but how?

Welcome to this week’s edition of Tap Into the Universe.

Today’s submission comes from Jen Amabile.  Here’s what she wrote…

I know I meant to serve in some way in this lifetime. What are the gifts that I need to develop? How am I supposed to serve? What do I need to do to really step into my power? I know that was three questions. Lol

Thank you for submitting your question(s).

I’m so ever delighted to connect with your Spirit Guides and see what guidance they have for you and those who read this blog post.

When I ask your Spirit Guides…

I receive a vision of you as a little girl.

You’re throwing balls against a wall, each one wrapped in wet paper. You’re taking each one from a large basket and you throwing them at the wall hoping that one of them “will” stick. You’ve been at it for ages, but they just aren’t sticking and each one just slides to the ground.

You’ve been at it so long, you’re bored, and you’re confused because you’re doing your part to get the balls to stick, but it’s not working.

You’re starting to hate the balls.

The guides are telling me that it’s not the balls that you don’t like.

Let me translate this into English.

The balls represent all the things you really love to do.

There’s a lot of things that you love.

But getting this out to the world has been a challenge so you’ve started to doubt that the balls are even what you want.

Let’s see about your specific questions …

What are the gifts I am supposed to develop?

According to your guides, you already have all the gifts you need.

What this means is that you have the inner resources to receive what you desire in your life.

You don’t have to do more to get more balls (read marketing tactics) to stick to the wall.

Your guides say, “let go & trust”.

You’re trying to figure it out all and you’re not allowing yourself to receive intuitive guidance. You’re not letting the Universe guide you to what you desire.

The Universe knows the best way for you to receive what you want even if you can’t see how it might happen.

The key is to start raising your vibration.

Start by releasing your obligation to make it all work today as this will help the energy flow again and allow you to come from a place a power, truth, and bliss.

Give yourself permission to walk away from it all and for the next few days, focus on doing the things that make you happy.

This will raise your vibration and allow you tap into your own intuitive guidance. Only then will you start seeing the signs from the Universe so you can take the path of least resistance.

I know, it might seem counterproductive, but trust me, you’ll need to this if you want to receive more in your life & business.

After a few days when you’re feeling mostly good again, start journaling.

  • Who am I?
  • What do I love about coaching?
  • What do I want?
  • What do I want to feel?
  • What do I want to have?
  • What does my heart desire?
  • What excites me?

Do this without expectation and without obligation to do anything about you receive in journalling.

After about a week or so of journalling, start asking your guides for guidance. Ask to be shown what the next step might be. Don’t try to force the answer, just see what comes. Usually your first thought, first feeling is the best one here.

Follow your intuition and take inspired action.

This may not be obvious, but essentially it means that if you feel like painting your bathroom, paint your bathroom.

The path of least resistance isn’t rational, but it always feels good. Trust is allowing so trust that the path will reveal itself as you take action.

How am I supposed to serve?

Your Spirit Guides are showing me you holding a file, like army service papers.

They want you throw them in the waste basket.

“You are not meant to serve. You are meant to be you. The only reason to serve is because you wish to experience that. You get to choose how to serve.”

By asking the Universe to tell you how you’re supposed to serve, you are getting out of the driver seat.

This is you stepping you out of your power.

The only reason to do this is that there is a part of you that believes you can’t have what you desire.

There’s no reason to do this as the Universal truth is that you can have everything you desire.

In fact, it already exists out in the Universe.

The Law of Polarity says that you cannot have a desire without it first existing in the Universe. Your only job now is to get in alignment and take inspired action as the Universe nudges you along.

What do I need to do to really step into my power?

The first words I hear, “Stop trying to please everyone else. Just be here for you. No excuses.”

In fact you do not need to do anything to be in your power.

You simply have to let go of the illusion that you are not in your power.

To release the illusion and claim your power, journal about the following:

  • What do I need to believe that I am in power?
  • Who am I when i am in power?
  • How was I in my power today?
  • If I was in my power, I would …
  • If I could have what my inner being truly desires, I would …

That’s it. That’s what your guides wanted you to know.

Now I’m curious…

You’ve had a chance to read what the guides had to say to Jen’s question, but if you read this post, the information is also for you. So, I’m curious if you can relate to Jen? Did you have a ah-ha as you read?

Can’t wait to hear what you have to say in the comments below.

Much love,

P.S. If you have a question for the Universe, submit it on the form on the right (or below). You can also go here. When you submit your question, you help inspire everyone to manifest more LIFE and for that I’m really grateful.

Making a list and checking it twice…

If you’re feeling frustrated, discouraged and/or hopeless because you’re not manifesting your desires quickly enough, then read every word below.

The other day I was making a list of all the dreams I’d ever manifested, which I created because I wanted to raise my vibe.

I still can’t believe I once got on a plane to Bangkok with $9K in travelers checks with no return ticket. Or that I sat on the ground taking pictures of Mount Everest from the North base camp.

It’s even more amazing to me that a girl with dyslexia could write a book.

If you’ve never done a dream list, create it. It feels good!!!! And it will remind you of the magic of the Universe!

As crazy as most of those dreams were, they all had one thing in common.

They were easy – this despite the fact that I once thought that they were impossible.

Why?

As I reviewed the list, it hit me.

Each dream on that list was a true heart’s desire (aka something I really wanted) and I’d made a clear decision to make them a reality.

Know Your Heart’s Desire + Decision + Inspired Action ⇒ Speeds UP Receiving

By the way, that’s the secret formula to manifesting.

Are you clear on your heart’s desire? Have you made a decision to manifest it?

Clarity of desire means having freedom from ambiguity, which clears your vibration to receiving inspired action from the Universe, which leads to taking the path of least resistance.

Unfortunately, clarity isn’t always so easy.

Fears, doubts, limiting beliefs, conflicting desires all get in the way of you having the clarity you need to manifest with ease.

If you want to speed up your manifesting, get clear.

Here’s what you do now…

#1 Make a list and check it twice (okay, that’s cheesy but I can’t help myself).

Make a list of everything you want to be, have, do in each of the following categories: health, work, business, money, love, relationships, travel, home, stuff, etc.Get as detailed as you can. Feel free to add categories.

#2 Make sure that everything on that list is a heart’s desire.

If something on your list doesn’t feel good to you, change it to something that does feel good or remove it.

#3 Decide when you’ll review & update the list.

Reviewing your list periodically keeps it fresh and front-of mind. I like to do mine once a month.

Decide when you’ll do it and put it in your calendar.

Once you’re complete, jump over to Nathalie’s Masters of Manifesting and let us know what’s on your list so we can cheer you on!

If you need a bit more help getting clear on what you want, you’ll be able to get it in The Manifesting Miracle Society. It’s my new membership site where you’ll have access to countless resources, a soul tribe, and me. Doors open December 1st .

If you have a question about the exercise, let me know in the comments.

Why is growing my business taking so long?

Welcome to the first installment of Tap Into The Universe!

This week I picked a question that was asked several times in a Facebook thread I posted earlier this week.

Why is growing my business taking so long?

I really like this question because it’s on the mind of so many coaches, healers, entrepreneurs, and business owners.

When I asked your guides for guidance, they showed me …

A vision of you being five-years old skipping on rocks over water. The stones magically appear as you reach the end of your stones.

You’re having the time of your life and then, all of a sudden, you come to a sudden halt because new stones stop appearing.

Now you’re only option  is to go back & forth over the stones that you’ve already skipped on or jump into the water and get WET.

Along with the fear of getting wet and never being dry again, there’s a feeling of betrayal because the stones should have taken you to the other side.

After all, you were promised!

This vision is telling me that you’re business was once really fun, but that it’s stop being fun and that it’s been that way for a while.

And now you’re stuck because there’s resentment that you’re not there yet and because you’ve stopped receiving intuitive nudges (aka stones) from the Universe..

Is getting wet even the right next step?

Here’s what you do now:

1) Make peace with where you are.

Right now you’re in the wrong vibration because you’re frustrated and you’re stuck in the bitterness of the fact that things haven’t worked yet.

The good news is that the Law of Polarity says that you cannot have a desire unless it already exists out in the Universe.

The bad news is that you can’t see the way there because you’re stuck in the wrong vibration. That’s why you’ve stopped receiving intuitive nudges and why the path ahead is so unclear.

It doesn’t mean that the path isn’t there, it simply means that you can’t see them because your vibration keeps the blinders on.

So your first is to make peace where you are.

There are a number of ways to do this, but my personal favorite is to practice forgiveness by doing the ho’oponopono prayer.

Just everything you’re frustrated about it in your business and repeat, “I love you. I forgive you. I’m sorry. Thank you.”

2) Make room for opportunities

This step is really simple.

It’s simply releasing an obligation of making what you’ve already tried work for you and making room for new opportunities.

The truth is that what was right & fun for you in the past may be out of alignment with you today. That’s true even If it got you results.

Ask yourself…

  • What am I holding on to that’s no longer feeling good?
  • What would I like to change, but I don’t because I think it’s supposed to work?
  • If I could do anything, what might I do? Don’t stick with your business, go beyond that.

The best way to do this is journal for a few days and see what comes up.

Do not try to act on everything you get as it comes up.

Let it go for a few days. Often the act of acting on everything we get stops us from moving forward.

At the end of a few days, decide what you’re ready to release from your business because it feels right to do so – it doesn’t mean it won’t be scary.

Do it. Don’t even think about it.

Then take the list of things that you might like to do, and do the #1 thing that would be the most fun for you.

If you feel like taking a few days off, taking a trip, creating an offer that’s “different,” then do that.

It might not be rational, but the Universe is laying out the best stones for you to skip on. The sooner you skip on the next one, the sooner you get the next one.

Trust the Universe!

Finally your guides say this to you, “If you can’t see the opportunity, ask us for help and we’ll make sure you see them clearly.”

Now go jump into the water – you might just discover that getting wet is the most fun thing you’ve done in years!

Much love,

Nathalie
