How to Find Your Authentic Purpose
Plus: One-Time Only Bargain Intuitive Reading!
www.ingridbacci.com
How
can you know you are going in the direction of your authentic purpose?
This is a question that seriously concerns every one of us. Being able
to answer it, and to move in the direction of your purpose, is the key
to your happiness and sense of fulfillment. Fortunately, your life
actually gives you specific signals to guide you toward your purpose,
and to tell you whether you are on or off track. Allow me to explain.
At any given
point in your life, you are in transition, seeking to move from what you
have already become to a deeper or higher level of being. The external
and internal achievements of yesterday do not satisfy you today,
although they are important because they form the foundation for your
next steps. You are always on the road.
You may
have an idea of what road is the road for you, and you may be right. But
you may also be wrong. Why? Because where you need to go is still an
unknown to you. As the great American psychologist/philosopher
William James pointed out, it is your unconscious higher self
that knows where you need to go. Your conscious mind, being based in the
past, tends to get in the way. It projects the future on the basis of
the past, and the past is exactly what you have to release in order to
grow!
How many
times have you thought you were going after what you wanted, and when
you got it, found out it was all wrong? How many times have crises
befallen you that you later look back on and see as blessings in
disguise? These types of experience tell us that a higher wisdom, and
not our conscious minds, is directing our purpose. We need to learn to
listen to our higher wisdom in order to follow our life purpose.
How do
you learn to listen to your higher wisdom? Among other things, by
learning to recognize the signals that something needs to change.
Generally, these signals involve discomfort because a part of us
resists change. The discomfort can be emotional or physical.
Emotional
discomfort takes the form of negative emotions: fear, anger,
envy, resentment, jealousy, etc. When you feel such feelings frequently,
they signal that you need to let go of something in order to take the
next step in your growth. We move forward by letting go of what doesn’t
work, so as to open the space for new types of experience that are as
yet unformed. Our path into the future proceeds by an undoing of the
past, it involves indirect rather than direct learning, opening up by
letting go.
When you
habitually experience negative emotions, what you need to let go of may
be internal or external. Internal things that keep us from our
purpose include such psychological habits as blaming, resenting others,
criticizing or complaining. External things involve our environment. For
example, if you feel angry or resentful in a work situation, you may
need to let go of that job, even though it might terrify you to do so.
Alternatively, you may need to speak up for yourself. The point is, you
need to change the structures in which you participate because they are
keeping you stuck in negative emotions.
When we
chronically suffer from negative emotions, we are failing to listen to
the message. We are afraid to let go and move on, whether that involves
letting go of our own limiting mental and emotional patterns, or letting
go of limiting structures in our environment. When we are afraid to let
go, we suffer.
Just as
our negative emotions signal the need for change, the body also gives us
signals, in the form of illness or pain. These are not there to punish
you, but to guide you toward a higher purpose, to teach you something
that you might not learn otherwise, something that is frequently
involved with learning to care for yourself (and therefore ultimately
for the world) more deeply. Learning to genuinely care for yourself, for
the divinity that you are within and the gifts that divinity brings to
the world, is a hard lesson for all of us to learn.
Negative
emotions and physical distress are nothing to be ashamed of. They are a
part of all of our lives, they express our growing pains. The challenge
is, to know what the problem is that you are being asked to address, and
how to address it. Alas, what we think is the problem (our conscious
mind at work!) rarely is the real problem! That is where I hope to be
able to help you.
Some of
you know that many years ago I became ‘medically intuitive.’ Medical
intuition is a form of psychic ability, an ability to read, at a
distance, currently core issues underlying a person’s physical,
emotional or spiritual health. In my own case, this skill developed as a
result of serious work healing from chronic illness, years of meditative
practice, a commitment I made to trust information that came to
me intuitively even if it defied common sense, and a commitment to
helping others help themselves. Medical intuition is not woo-woo
(though some disreputable people may stain its reputation by claiming to
practice it). In fact, it is a natural skill we all have. However, since
most people don’t understand the nature of the mind, and we live in a
mentally repressive culture, most of us don’t know how easily we can use
our minds like radio transmitters, to project and receive information.
Be that as it may, I am here to offer you help in taking the next step
of your journey. My job is to help you help yourself, by helping you to
see your own core issues more clearly. Once you do see them, you will be
wondering how you failed to see them earlier!
For the
month of May only, I am offering medical intuitive readings at a reduced
price, to help you identify the next step in your self-healing journey.
My readings last fifty-five minutes, and are usually done over the
phone. My standard price is $175. For the month of May only I am
offering these readings to you for $125. Why? To remove as much as
possible any financial obstacle that you may have, and to encourage you
on what may be a new adventure for you. You will find it worth it.
If you
want to take advantage of my offer, you must call or email me to set up
a consultation time during the month of May. My email address is
ingrid@ingridbacci.com. My phone number is 914-293-0898. In the
meantime, blessings to you on your journey!
