Remember playing in the rain as a kid? For my gift this year my husband took me to Fuerza Bruta, a show in NYC that can’t help but connect us to the child in us. Play the video and you’ll see what I mean. Imagine it’s you. Enjoy!

 

Tonight I was watching TV and one of the guests was the author of a book about success. He talked about the idea that it’s not talent that makes you become excellent at something, but having love for something that keeps you doing it to the extent that you become excellent at it. I didn’t understand this years ago. I thought it begins with a talent that you hone. Now after helping so many people in my practice I see that he’s right. it has to start with love. 

Many years ago a client of mine told me her husband could see colors over peoples heads. I was just starting my practice as an energetic healer and I was enthralled by the process of feeling energy and being able to feel the change in my hands when I was doing energy work with my clients. I asked her excitedly about what he was doing with his talent and she said he had no interest in it. He was going into business. I remember being taken aback. If that were me, I thought to myself, I’d have dived in head first into learning all I could about seeing energy. I’d refine my talent by constant study and use. At the time I didn’t understand that what was missing for him was the love of his talent. 

Through the years of my work Iv had clients who come in confused about their path. When I ask them what they love at times the person tells me “ I don’t know”. They have no passion at all. They can feel that there is something missing in them but they don’t’ know how to find out what it is or how to heal that disconnection inside themselves.

 

Recently I was at a New Years Eve party and over heard someone saying that she was “bored out of her mind” in her job. She had reached the level at work that she could and “ the problem is I can’t find any excitement about any other things to do. She wasn’t depressed she was passionless. 

How does this happen? Does it show up one day? Are we born that way? I don’t’  think so. We’re born bundles of curiosity and we have strong feelings about things. We show our passion for having our wants met by having tantrums. That’s how strong our passions are. Our loves show up in our play and we become enthralled with things. 

What kinds of things can shut that light off in us? Lots of things.

We get criticized when we have desires that are not considered acceptable by our parents. We get told that our desires won’t make us money, We get squashed by being in families that give us messages that strong feelings are not ok. The conclusions that we make about ourselves that result in these kinds of beliefs disconnect us from our muse, lock us away from our intuition and deaden the colors of our life’s dreams.

How do we get back to our passions.

One very effective way is to bring back to memory playing as a child. BUt what if you can’t remember what it was like to play as a child? Imagine what you’d play with now if you were a child. Would you make mud packs? Would you play with puzzles or legos. Would  you play video games? Would you sing or dance or write stories. Your child is in side you. If you were to spend time with you child what things would you love to share with that child. Keep in mind that you want to show that child joy so allow yourself to get outlandish and out of the box in your outings. 

Using Imagery: 

1. Sit quietly and make sure you won’t be disturbed. 
2. Center yourself in a way that’s comfortable to you. 
3. Allow yourself to see the child and have fun! Imagine all the details of the scenes that you can. Use all your senses. Feel the movements of your body. Look around and see the sites. What time of day is it? What smells do you notice? Are there foods that you can smell? See if you can smell the air. If your eating notice the taste. Feel it on your tongue. 
4. Go on that way until you’re in the scene and can feel your mood change as you do things that bring you joy. 
5. Do this process repeatedly over days. 

The more you connect with the inner child in you the more you’ll connect with the passions that will lead you to your path

Each day make sure to touch base with your child. Ask him or her what they want to do. Odds are they are not going to say “let’s vaccume or do taxes!

 

When you have past traumas or self limiting beliefs that have lead you to become disconnected from your passions. Emotional Freedom Techniques is a process that will clear these beliefs and neutralize the emotional charge of traumas that keep you disconnected from your inner being.

EFT is one of the energetic psychological techniques that involves tapping on certain acupuncture points while holding an issue in mind. In the process of doing that the issue that has you stuck looses its charge and you become free of it. 

Here is a simple EFT process for you to do that can help you get back to your core passions.

Using EFT:

1. Allow yourself to bring to mind your feeling of disconnection or “not knowing” you passion.
2. Stay tuned into your disconnection or feeling of “not knowing”  and do this simple tapping sequence. 
3. Find the fleshy area on the side of your hand between the bottom of your pinky and the top of your wrist. Take one hand and tap into the karate chop area of the other hand while repeating the sentence below three times.

“Even though I feel disconnected to my passion there is a part of me that remembers and  I deeply and completely accept myself.” 

Then, staying tuned into your feeling tap your fingers tips about 7 times on each acupuncture points below. 

• Top of your head 
• Brow ( where brow meets the bridge of nose)
• Side of eye (in front of temple)
• Under eye (on the cheek bone)
• Under nose
• Between mouth and chin
• Where your collar bone meets your rib near your breast bone
• Under your arm (about 4 inches below your arm pit)

Repeat this tapping cycle 3 times always tuning in and even saying the words “I feel disconnected to my passion.”

Do several rounds of the whole above process until you begin to feel energy loosen inside you. Signs of loosening stuck energy is yawning, sighing or feeling the energy move inside you.

If you find self limiting beliefs come up then replace the words in the statement with your belief. 

For example:

Even though “I was told artists don’t make money” and so on.

The more you do this process the closer you will get to your passions. 

Do this with each self limiting belief you have and you’ll get that much closer to what thrilled you deeply as a child and will bring you closer to the creator in you.

Its essential  for us to be connected to our passions since they unfold our purpose here. From that place our path to our success unfolds. 

I wish you to find joy in every step and if you see a ball and jacks on the way, they are probably mine!
