What has your life trained you to be?
One of my teachers, author and priestess, Elaine Kalia Doughty, posed this question on her private Facebook page last week. I was stunned by it. You see, I’d never quite asked myself this question before. I’d reflected on my Soul’s medicine, my life purpose, my initiations, but I never quite asked myself, What has my life trained me to be?
As I’ve pondered this question I saw that I could answer it by saying that my life has trained me,
to be vigilant
to keep my heart closed
to not reveal too much about
myself
to not make people angry
to stay small
and
to play it safe.
In many ways, my life experiences passed on these burdens to me. Or said another way, my life could easily have trained me to be cautious, closed off, protective, and vigilant. But, even though I had those burdens and still feel them, now, at times. I also throughout my life heard the loving voice of my Soul, even if at the time I didn’t recognize, that it was my Soul’s voice I was hearing. Read more.
