From the time we can remember we have lived our lives by rules. Many of us learned our parent’s rules, then our schools, our churches, our friends, the list goes on and on and on.
Over the years these rules have guided or should I say controlled us to behave in certain ways and these ways work their way into our businesses. Then we finally decide to go for having a business and all these old rules in our lives start running the show.
When I first started my business I really had no idea about how to be a business owner and never really thought about it much until I began to realize that there were certain things I just had to learn to get me into a better business mindset.
Now for those of us on the spiritual path in business we are taking on even ancient rules that have been hidden in our subconscious for a long time. I kept bumping up against things that sort of thing when I started my Spiritual business. I had other businesses before and already knew I had issues with regards to pricing and feeling worthy of accepting money for my services but this was different.
This revelation hit me right in my gut when I was sitting listening to speaker at my Spiritual Church and I kept hearing them tell my that healing should be free as it came from God. Now as many of you know this is the Solar Plexus also known as our power center. So many of us know in our heart and soul that we have been healers before in other lives and often persecuted. This can leave us with invisible threads to the past and affects us in our businesses.
The words just kept ringing in my head all the way home. I kept questioning this over and over. Something was coming up for me and then I had to use all my training discover what was holding me back. I went into a guided meditation and asked what was stopping me and got very profound images of myself in other lives. It was like a video playing in my head but it did give me great insights to why this was an issue for me.
I discovered the old rules that were stopping me in my business were actually vows taken in a past life. Now many spiritual teachers have talked of these including Caroline Myss. These are all part of the grand plan of our lives and often part of our soul contract that we came here to fulfill and heal. So our so called rule book has been with us for eons and challenges our own personal power on a very deep level.
We admire those that are already out there and we know that they broke rules to get where they were and dug deep into fear. So we have to be ready willing and able to do the same and leap into our fears and break rules as well.
So I knew I needed to re-write my so called Rule book. My so called rules had often stopped me in the past but with the energies now upon us I knew it was time for them to be re-written. Stepping out once again to be seen and heard with a message that will change lives. Did I dare?
My past life vows came to life and were like a huge barrier that I needed to breakthrough. I thought I had done that in meditation many times but here it was again. Now remember these rules are to keep us safe and by not stepping out I meant I was still safe.
But what about my message that I needed to bring to the world?. It has been in my head for years and I never felt ready until now. It was time to take back my power. It was time to reconnect to my true being that had been patiently waiting in the wings.
I embraced my fear and sat with it, I became friends with it and allowed the energy to flow. Just by being here and writing is huge for me and every day I take steps to be bold, honest and giving.
So the next time you get stuck on something in your business stop yourself. Take a break and begin to look at the rules that you have been living with.
So back to the original question. WHO WROTE YOUR RULE BOOK?
I suggest you sit with this and be quiet for a while. Draw the energy into your head from above and straight down past your feet and feel safe and secure as you ask this question.
Start writing down the rules and see what feeling comes up for you. Sit with them a bit more and see where it hits you I your body when you read them.
Ask questions and see what comes up. Keep at it if you still feel stuck. You will be amazed at what comes up and don’t be surprised if old memories come to mind. These are your clues to your rules.
Our society is governed by rules which we need and yet as Spiritual business owners we have to step out in a different way and this challenges those rules that we have been living by and this can also cause us fear as well.
Bringing our spiritual businesses into the mainstream has already been a big step for us and many of us have had to step off the path and yet we can take comfort that they are many more of us than ever before and we know that the rules we have chosen to live by comes from a deep knowing in our hearts.
You know you are not alone and never have been and it is time to ask for help.
So be brave and break those rules, challenge your rule book and make your own. Look back at your life and observe your life and see what happened when you broke the rules before. There still could be trauma there and this can also be stopping you.
You know you are here for a reason and know it is time to step out of your comfort zone so this is why you need to see just who wrote your rule book.
Here are some new beliefs for you to work with:
- I have no boundaries stopping me. (when you feel like a wall is in front of you)
- I make new rules for my life that empower me. (when you realize that things need to change)
- It is safe to be seen and heard by the masses, I am ready! (when you find yourself back-stepping)
Enjoy and embrace your learning journey with your Spiritual Business.
