Developing Your Spiritual Gifts
If you’re unaware of your spiritual gifts, it’s likely that those are the areas where you feel stuck or struggle in your life. But here's the truth: once you develop these gifts, you become the leader of your life. No longer are you letting ControlZilla (that part of you that tries to overthink and control everything) steer the ship. You begin to trust your infinite intelligence, your spiritual wisdom, which is always working for your highest good.
The Importance of Developing Spiritual Gifts
Think about the future for a second. We often try to figure it out using the brain, but the truth is, the future has never been lived before. There’s no handbook for it. But what you do have is your inner guidance system—that divine intelligence that knows where you need to go, who you need to meet, and what you’re meant to create. This higher vibration, when tapped into, helps you move through life with less struggle and more peace, satisfaction, and love. That’s the key.
A Personal Experience: Out-of-Body Vision
I’d like to share something personal that I haven’t spoken about much before. A while ago, I had an out-of-body experience. Some might call it a dream, but it wasn’t like any dream I’ve ever had. The details were crystal clear. I stood before an infinite being—no physical form, just a presence. There were no eyes or a mouth, and we didn’t communicate with words. Time didn’t exist in that moment, and communication was instantaneous.
I realized during this experience that higher vibrations are possible for us, but we often struggle to reach them here on Earth. This experience gave me a barometer to measure my energy. When I feel yucky, sad, or angry, I’m not vibrating at my highest level. That’s a signal that I’m not operating according to my spiritual gifts. My true self vibrates much higher, and so do you.
Why Your Spiritual Gifts Matter
Now, I want you to take a look at your life. Where are you struggling? What’s holding you back? Why don’t you feel the love, value, and purpose that you know should be there? If everything in your life is smooth and you're feeling fulfilled, that's wonderful!
However, if you're like me, someone who's been on this rollercoaster of healing, constantly working to transcend past wounds and patterns, then developing your spiritual gifts is your next step.
When you’re trying to transcend these struggles, the goal isn’t just to move from sad to happy. It’s much deeper. It’s about finding your spiritual gifts, using them to transform your life, and elevating your energy to a higher vibration. This is when life truly starts to flow.
Gene Keys: Unlocking Your Potential
One tool I’ve used to help me and my clients is Gene Keys. It’s a system that maps your DNA and provides insights into your unique gifts and life’s purpose. It’s like a spiritual blueprint, showing you how you were designed to live and how you can develop your gifts. I’m going to share a bit from my own Gene Keys profile to give you an example.
My life’s work is about going from unease (the shadow) to intuition. It took me a while to even realize that unease was my shadow. But now that I’m aware, I can shift into intuition much faster. The next step is clarity—the art of softness. This is my path, and with each step I take to transcend unease, I bring myself closer to my highest potential.
The Struggle vs. The Flow
Many of us live with unhealed wounds that keep us stuck. We hold onto old beliefs, and ControlZilla steps in, trying to keep us safe, but also keeping us in a cycle of struggle. The challenge is letting go of that struggle. When you stop fighting the past and start trusting your gifts, you move into flow. Life gets easier. It becomes less about battling and more about creating.
I know it can be difficult. I used to think that life had to be a struggle. I didn’t know how to live without it. However, I now understand that my gifts enable me to transcend struggle. It’s not about being perfect, but it’s about being in flow, letting your spiritual gifts lead you.
Developing Your Spiritual Gifts
So, how do you develop your gifts? The first step is awareness. You must know your life’s work, your purpose, and your gifts. The Gene Keys can help you discover these. Once you know what you’re here to do, you can transcend the shadow (the negative energy) and align with your gifts.
Once I started to understand my Gene Keys profile, I realized that I thrive in expansion. Every time I learn something new or stretch beyond my comfort zone, I expand. It’s like I can feel the flow of life moving through me. When I align with this, my intuition kicks in, and I make better decisions. I feel more connected to my higher self and the world around me.
The Power of Transcendence
The real magic happens when you transcend your wounds and step into your gifts. It’s like waking up to the person you were always meant to be. Confidence starts to flow naturally, and fear starts to dissolve.
As you develop your gifts, you’ll notice that life becomes less about control and more about trust. Trust in yourself and trust in your journey. The more you embody your gifts, the more life opens up to you.
Final Thoughts
I want you to understand that you were born to shine. You have spiritual gifts that are meant to help you thrive, not just survive. It’s not about fixing yourself, it’s about embracing who you are, healing the wounds, and aligning with your higher self.
