I learned that I’m an INTP and here are a few other things I’m appreciating this week.

Activating Entrepreneurial Abundance

What is Entrepreneurial Abundance and how do you activate it?

In the outer world, entrepreneurial abundance is having an abundance of:

1.  Time.
2. Money.
3. Paying clients or customers.
4. Support

Successful entrepreneurs know how to activate entrepreneurial abundance. In your inner world, entrepreneurial abundance is about having an abundance of:

1. Energy to do what you want to do with your time & money, and with your business and your life.
2. Awareness of who you are, and who you are not.  Awareness of where you are, and where you are going.
3. Appreciation for the service you provide, for the people you serve, for yourself, and for your dreams and desires.
4. Acceptance.  This is huge, because without accepting where we are, we can never get where we are going.

The past week I’ve been dancing with the consciousness and ideas of freedom.

I’ve been celebrating my own freedom and being compassionate as others seem to grapple to find financial freedom without risking their creative freedoms.  I’ve been feeling how deeply feminine freedom truly is.

And then yesterday, this beautiful BALD EAGLE came to bathe in the Olentangy River that runs behind the Vedic Temple in Delaware, Ohio. My feeling is that it was a female eagle but I have no way of knowing for sure. It flew away but then it returned and landed in this tree long enough for me to capture it on video.

I want to share this beautiful Eagle with you as a reminder that you can have financial freedom without sacrificing your creative freedom.

You want freedom, but are you ready to experience liberation?

Imagine you are so triggered by someone. You just can’t control how you feel when you are around them. When you think of them, or when someone mentions their name.  Now imagine for a moment that this is all perfectly designed for your highest good.

You want Freedom, but you can’t stand to be around people who challenge your sense of freedom.

I’m sure you know someone in your life who you feel completely triggered by and who other people love being around. Or vice versa.

One of my clients and a friend discovered that she activates “Integrity” and learned that working with people who are not looking for or living at that level of Integrity in partnership, could cause them to feel very judged by her and get triggered and resistant to her requests to ‘do as they say they would do.’  She is designed to activate higher levels of integrity in those around her.  When she owns and appreciates that she activates “Integrity” she attracts clients, relationships, and support that help her do her magic (she is a web designer and an artist).  Her path to sovereignty and liberation in her life is to honor the energy that she activates in the world by living from a space of Integrity.    When she lives from a space of integrity, she is not triggered and she doesn’t judge others, but recognizes where they are on their own personal journey of being in integrity.  When she appreciates her own activation of integrity and has compassion for others who are not there yet, she is a powerful force!

How about Donald Trump?

He is a great example of how one person’s Activation Code can trigger one group of people and activate something completely different in another group.  (I share more about his Activation Code farther down. )

I find it fascinating, but this is a big part of my life right now, reading people’s activation codes and helping them understand and appreciate themselves & their soul’s energetic purpose for this incarnation.

We Are Designed To Activate Each Other

We are perfectly designed to turn on and activate some aspect of Divinity in the people (and places, that’s another lesson entirely) around us just by being alive.   We are coded to activate and turn on more light in everyone we meet.   Yes, even those who trigger us and those who get triggered by us.  

Actually everything around us is coded to activate our own Divine Natural Alignment.

We are created in the likeness of the Creator – God, Infinite Intelligence, Divine Love, Allah, Cosmic Energy, Source, Divine Mother, Father God, what ever you resonate with.  In equal measure.  You were born with a Spiritual DNA (Divine Natural Alignment) as well as physical DNA.   Your Spiritual DNA, similar to your physical DNA, has genetic coding. The Spiritual DNA differs from physical DNA in that it is “meta- physical” – transcending physical body containment. Your Spiritual DNA is encoded with the Divine “I Am” presence.

How Knowing What YOU Activate Can Help

I’ve also come to understand that not everyone is ready for what we each activate.   In which case they either move on without much fanfare, or get extremely triggered by our presence.    When someone reacts to us in ways that feel confrontational, they are most likely resisting the very energy they are asking for and the very thing we are designed to activate and turn on in them.  They are resisting their own divinity coming online.  They are resisting the very activation they are asking for!

If you are familiar with the law of attraction, you know there is only attraction.   There is no law of assertion.  People ask and it is given, however people don’t like the way it shows up, or they simply don’t recognize it as an answer to their request.

The same is true for you too.  When you feel triggered by someone, and can’t seem to compose yourself, chances are you are resisting what wants to emerge in you.   You may be resisting their activation code, and not recognizing this as an answer to your request.    If they are triggered by you, they are resisting what you activate and turn on in them.   Everything is about energy and activation and learning to navigate the waves of emotion and feeling that come with being a Spiritual being living in a human body.   And truly this is an attraction based universe, we ask and it is given.

Knowing what you are coded to activate in the world helps you understand why some people are drawn to you and others are seem to be repelled, even if you’ve done all the work on yourself to create a clear energy field.

You May Or May Not Like It, But…

OK, back to ‘The Donald,’  and the polarizing and triggering Activation Code of the President Elect.

Donald Trump activates “Freedom,” as in sovereignty of mind, body, and spirit.

And boy does he piss people off!

I was one of those pissed off people being completely triggered by what came out of his mouth.  judged him as being an arrogant white male with no idea how to lead a nation.  I still judge him as being an arrogant privileged white male who has no business leading this country, or making decisions that affect women!   However the morning I woke up and he was voted President Elect, I felt oddly at peace.  It was weird.  I voted for Hillary.  I was one of those convinced he would never win and didn’t want him to win, and there I was feeling a deep sense of peace… no, what I felt was “FREEDOM.”   In the past I haven’t been that interested in politics to check in to see what he activates before the election, however I woke up feeling a strong sense of sovereignty and freedom.  I checked in, “Am I experiencing Trump’s Activation Code?”

The answer came in a calm and clear knowing,  “Yes, Donald Trump activates Freedom.”

The Student Path Of The Activation Code

When we carry a strong energy and LIGHT that is designed to turn on Divinity in the world, we become conditioned by our parents, society,  and our peers based on how they think we should best use (or hide) our Divine Power.  That is what our Activation Code is.   It is our divine power to change the world in miraculous ways!

I’m sure it is no different for Trump.  His Activation Code of Freedom was conditioned to operate in a conditioned way based on his upbringing.   The ideas and conditions his family had regarding “Freedom” and Sovereignty were how he learned to use the energy of his Activation Code.  He learned to judge what freedom is and what freedom is not and he learned to judge others based on how they experience their own freedom.

When others are on their own conditioned or Student Path of either our Activation Code or of their own they will judge us and feel judged by us.  When we are both on our Conditioned Path, we fight and try to change either other.  This happens a lot in marriages.

I call the Student Path of our Activation Code, the Conditioned Path.   It is all about the conditions, and programming we received about how other people think we should use our personal power  We find our own freedom and liberation by appreciating our own energy and take ownership of how we Activate Divine Natural Alignment in others and how we can be triggered and trigger others just by being ourselves.

The Master Path Of The Activation Code

When we are living from and experiencing the Master Path of our Activation Code we are truly liberated and free to be the full expression of our Activation Code, the aspect of Divinity we are here to activate in others, without judgment, manipulation or control.

When we are on our Master Path we drop judgment and control of others and appreciate the people around us for who they are and what they Activate.  Instead of being triggered by others who don’t agree and don’t resonate with us, we embody an inner spaciousness that allows their transformation to happen without our interference.

My opinion, Trump is totally on the Student Path.

Knowing what triggers you about others can help you understand yourself and can help you bring the energy of the pure DNA “Divine Natural Alignment” Activation online without bringing in any of the person’s personal student path (aka triggering) energy.

Who Benefits From The Activation?

Now, back to me.

When I feel the energy and activation of Freedom, it invites me to look within.  I can explore the full range of emotions and thoughts I have about my own personal freedom.   There are deeper questions like, “What is really holding me back from fully experiencing freedom right now?”

“In what areas of my life do I not feel free?”  

“How can I choose more freedom for myself in my life right now?”

Not everyone will agree with me that Trump activates Freedom.

Here is what someone posted on a Facebook comment about the topic:   “That’s a very white-privileged point of view. He doesn’t activate freedom for the people who are being racially, religiously, and sexually targeted.” 

I disagree.  I believe Freedom is Activated. The people who felt ‘oppressed’ or ‘targeted’ before are now feeling free to speak up. They are feeling free to be seen, and free to have their own voices be heard.

We can walk through portals of possibility for anything in our life.   In this post I want to share how my youngest daughter overcame some beliefs she had about what it means to be a friend, using a portal of possibility for True & Honest Friendship.   I learned a lot about the rules we make that prevent us from having deep and meaningful relationships with others.  

The other day my my 11 year old daughter came home from school and asked me for advice on how to deal with a friendship issue that was really bugging her.  She often does this, so I’m aware of the energy that keeps her feeling left out, feeling separate, and not belonging in friendship groups.

I gave her some soft advice, “Oh, it will be okay, you’ll get over it and so will they.”  But she wouldn’t have any of that.

She looked me in the eye and she said, “Mom, I don’t want you to talk to me like I’m a kid.  I want you to tell me what you’d tell your clients.  What advice would you give an adult client of yours?” 

Well, OK then!   I love that the tools I use with my clients are just as easy to use with my kids.   I used my “Portals of Possibility” worksheet with her.

I asked her to list all of the rules she had about ‘Friendship.’  Her list included things like, friends are nice to each other, friends always care for each other, friends wait for each other, friends save each other seats, friends keep secrets, and they tell each other everything.  (hm… Interesting!)

Then I asked her to list all of the beliefs she had about herself that might prevent her from making friends, keeping friends, being a good friend.  On her list was, “I’m TOO different.”   In her eyes, I could see tears.  I knew we were getting somewhere.   She wanted to hold the tears back a bit, but I reminded her that tears are really good in my line of work because it means we are touching the truth.   I let her know that my clients cry too, so it is normal to cry when you touch your own truth.

We enjoyed about 40 minutes of just getting into it, and visioning what she really wants in her friendships.  She just wants to play, spend time with her friends, laugh, have fun!  She is 11, these things are very important to her.   We did a guided visualization exercise where she met the imaginary gatekeeper that guards the Portal of True Friendship.   She learned how to ask the Gatekeeper to help her walk through the portal even though she is “Too different.”

A surprising side effect of using the Portal of Possibilities tool is that both my clients and my daughter naturally experienced a sort of shamanic Soul Retrieval in the process.

It is a wonderful tool to use when want to walk through a Portal of Possibility in your life.

There is more to it than simply making lists, but you can do this on your own and it will give you more clarity about what it stopping you from walking through portals of possibility to get what you want in your life.

The Lists:

1.  Write down the rules that you imagine are preventing you from stepping into the portal of possibility so you can have what you want.
2. Write down what you know about what you really want once you step through the portal of possibility and can have whatever you desire.
3. Write down the beliefs you have about yourself that prevent you from moving forward and stepping over the threshold.   These are the beliefs that sound like, “When I’m skinny.  When I have a degree.  When I know what I really want… THEN I’ll step through the portal.  Until then, I’m just getting ready.
4. Name the Portal of Possibility you want to walk through.  Is it the Portal of the Possibility for Sustainable Abundance?  Is it the Portal of Possibility for Sharing Your Deepest Wisdom (This is the portal I help people walk through with my work.) Is it the Portal of Possibility for Lasting Love?  Vibrant health?  Leadership?  A job you want?

What is the Portal of Possibility you want to enter?   There is an entirely new and magical world on the other side!

Yesterday, I had an intense day working with clients helping them walk through portals of possibility to help them get what they want.  This is a part of the abundance work I do, and it is so soul satisfying to me.  

During the day I remembered a conversation I had with a potential client a few years ago.  He had deep wisdom to share about overcoming debilitating anxiety and panic attacks and he had walked his own deeply spiritual journey of overcoming anxiety for himself, but when it came time to do the work of sharing his work with more people, he insisted on playing the game like an athlete.  He had natural talent and skill for speaking, and he insisted, “Just tell me the rules of the game, Coach!  Tell, me what to do and I’ll do it!”

At the time, I wan’t able to articulate why I couldn’t help him.   I just knew I couldn’t.   I suggested he join NSA (The Natural Speakers Association) or get professional speaker training where the rules of the game would be spelled out for him.  He wanted to learn the rules of the game of speaking & coaching so he could have certainty that he would succeed.  I suggested another coach who I felt would be a great match for him.     This was one of those conversations that didn’t end well.   He got angry and I wasn’t able to articulate why I couldn’t help him.   I just knew I was not the Coach he needed.

In my mind, I could hear myself saying, “You couldn’t pay me enough to help you achieve success, fortune, and fame the way you are asking me to do it.  I just can’t do that.”  Though I knew I couldn’t work with him I wasn’t 100% clear as to why.   He wanted more rules, more certainty, and he wanted to plow through it all so he could achieve success, fortune, and fame as fast as he could.

I was used to working with clients who are athletes, who push themselves beyond their limits in order to achieve pole position in their field of expertise, whether it was professional sports, real estate, sales, and even professional speaking.    I was used to helping clients get what they wanted.  It is very easy for me to help people achieve the success they are asking for, especially these athlete types who value the push and drive more than anything.    But the bottom line was, I’m not the right person to help him.

I believed he had deep wisdom to share, that his message really did matter, and that he could activate alignment and abundance for more and more people, but it took me a few more weeks to understand that the way he wanted to get there (know the rules, follow the rules, create certainty of success)  didn’t work for me any more so I couldn’t possibly help him.

He had been referred to me by people he respected.  They told him I was someone who could help him get results and while that part was still true, the way I helped my clients get results had shifted by they time he and I talked.    Where I used to work with known outcomes and measurable goals, that left me feeling dissatisfied, disappointed, and really down on myself.  I just could not work that way any more.   I was now happily helping people embrace uncertainty, deep wisdom, and true abundance that goes beyond fortune, fame and material goals.

I opened my email this morning and saw a message I sent to myself at 6:31 am.  The same time my alarm went off this morning.

It read:

When I saw the email at first I forgot I sent it, then I remembered that this was my first thought of the day.    It was my Soul’s morning reminder that my deepest calling is to play in the Unconditional Field of Infinite Possibilities and to bring others along with me.

This is why I couldn’t work with the client i mentioned above.  He was still searching for another box (Matrix) with rules and conditions that he could fit into.  He wanted me to create a box for him full of If…then statements.  If you set up an event… then people will come.  If you work hard… then you’ll be successful.  If you have a website… then you’ll be real.  (NOT!) If you do this… then you’ll achieve that.  He wanted certainty and massive action, It was just not possible for us to work together.  We didn’t want to play the same game.  I was helping people get out of the matrix and he desperately wanted to stay in.

This was a wonderful lesson for me to learn about leading with my own wisdom, and valuing my deepest wisdom.

If I had been able to articulate that we are playing a different game, he might have understood where I was coming from.  If I had know that’s what was going on at the time, I may have been able to help him see the Portal of Possibility I help my clients walk through is the Portal from the Conditional Matrix of Rules and Conditions to the Liberated Space of Infinite Possibilities where there are no rules imposed by outside forces only spiritual principles that you explore and discover once you cross the threshold.

The clients I work with now have achieved success with the just-do-it, check-it-off-the-list, follow-the-proven-system, my-way-or-the-highway, and they are looking for a different way of doing things.  They realize at some deeper level that when they push, the world pushes back and they are looking for more than money, fame, and success.  They want meaning and purpose.  They want to be the type of coaches, leaders, mentors, and guides that lead with their heart.

In my next post I’ll share an example of a portal of possibility I shared with my 12 year old daughter about friendship.
