Developing Your Spiritual Gifts

#traumahealingjourney #hormonebalance #storedtrauma #gutissues #IBS #chronesdisease #jointpain

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.


The journey of developing your gifts is transformative, and you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re ready to explore your spiritual gifts and learn how to use them to create the life you’ve always wanted, reach out to me. Together, we can uncover your potential and help you live a life of abundance, clarity, and flow.


Take action today. Begin by exploring your unique gifts. Start by embracing the process of transcendence. You are an infinite being with endless potential, and your spiritual gifts are waiting for you to claim them.

You are creative at the heart of who you are. You would rather be in charge of creating your life and deciding the who, what, and when of your daily schedule. When you discover your true self, you won’t be able to plow through every day like a drone, exhausting yourself with people pleasing or trying to meet unrealistic expectations in hopes of being valued and appreciated. Your inner genius is your spirit. She is love and light. She has so much to say, share, and experience. It would be a crying shame to keep her stuffed away, never to contribute her gifts and talents to the world, wouldn’t it? Your inner genius is very wise and wholly intelligent. If you take time every day to ask her questions to which you seek answers, she might surprise you with the creative ways she nudges you to be the unrestrained genius you have wanted to give you the answers to the test.

If you listen to your body, which is talking to you all the time, you will have a much better handle on your real needs and what are just coping strategies. You may feel like there is a void you can’t fill. Stop, breathe in three sharp breaths, hold for three seconds, and exhale slowly—repeat three times. When you tune in to your actual needs to get more sleep, start a project you’ve been putting off, or engage in a creative outlet and take action, you will avoid the frustration that comes with the myriad of ways we can find to procrastinate and become out of alignment with our true selves. With practice, it will become clear how to end cycles of procrastination that breed self-doubt and allow yourself to feel fulfilled, attuned, and complete.

A balanced and regulated nervous system supports not only your inner child, who needs you to stay with her when she feels insecure and afraid of the “situation” you might be going through, but it will exponentially change your outer world as you walk with confidence and assurance that who you are, as you are is the only person you can be. The real you is when you are simultaneously connected to your soul, your inner child, your intuitive guidance, and your body. Not a single part of you is being denied, ignored, or abandoned. Your body holds all of the past memories, good or bad, through the conditioning of the nervous system, and it just so happens that your spirit also lives in your body.

Your job has never been to do hard things. Your job is to find the way to doing challenging things more easily. Another way to say that is to let go of the resistance you added to the experience and let yourself find the more simple path. Imagine this: You're on a rowing boat, facing upstream, fighting against the current, thinking, “If I just paddle harder, I’ll get somewhere!” But there’s one caviat; all rivers flow downstream. Upstream padding is not what is needed most. Setting the paddle down and letting the current take you is easier. But, if it was that easy, everyone would be doing it. Haha

We seek Emotional Freedom, but unless we are able/willing to give up emotional chaos, it will illude us, and we may never feel at peace and harmonic with the flow of life. This makes life hard. In this episode, Teresa Ford helps you identify the habits that must be abandoned in place of the thought patterns that can shift you from a state of negative emotion, such as anger, betrayal, disappointment, irritation, sadness, and grief, into a state of peace of ease.

The Power of three is everywhere in our lives. It starts with God, Christ, and the Holy Ghost. Also, Christ rose on the 3rd day. Why 3? The number 3 biblically represents divine wholeness, completeness, and perfection. We spend most of our lives trying to connect the Body, Mind, and Spirit to feel whole. Our personal patterns of becoming the highest versions of ourselves involve Growth, Expansion, and the Journey that eventually becomes the story and legacy we leave behind. It is also the number indicating time – past, present, future, birth, life, and death. If you look at the patterns of 3 in your life, you may discover the lessons you were being called to learn so you could live more fully in Harmony, Wisdom, and Understanding. You might enjoy a little life review session looking for patterns in 3s that either held a disintegrating pattern for you or an enlightened pattern that helped you up out of dark places.
