Do What Lights You Up
“Do what lights you up.” Please may we instill this frame of mind into our children early on. For far too long we have been conditioned to chase the money, oftentimes at the expense of our own health and wellbeing. Just say no. Do what lights you up and you will be sustained.
If you don’t know what lights you up, then take some time to just listen. Listen to the Divine voice within. It’s a practice. So start practicing. Below are links to get you started.
I had the privilege of speaking with Priya Jain of Seventh Chakra Institute of Spiritual Sciences and getting her to share her experience of listening to her Divine Voice within - how it turned her world upside down but then righted everything to light her up. With practice, the voice is more constant and her actions more swift. Listen here.
We also talk about a Kundalini yoga series she has online called “Practical Spirituality.” It was transformative for me - dropping me into a state of awareness, of shedding away layers that were put on me by others, be it societal expectations, cultural expectations, the expectations of peers and the tribe.
If you have an adolescent, this series might be a good stepping stone to support them as they navigate their future with purpose and a clarity that centers them in a spiritual self worth that is not driven by outside influences. The tools Priya shares will help them to tune into their higher selves - to listen to the divine voice of their soul. If you don’t know what lights you up, this series is for you too.
