Living Your Calling & Clearing Your Challenges.
While they are the 2 adventures we’re here for, and they seem separate. In so many ways they are one adventure - and they have a profound and complimentary relationship to one another.
<aside> 🪐 If you really put time and energy into Living Your Calling, you will probably notice that your blocks come up more readily to be cleared and released.
AND… if you really put time and energy Clearing Your Challenges / Blocks, you will probably notice the Universe supporting you in Living Your Calling in very synchronistic and serendipitous ways.

We dive deeply into receiving and clarifying your calling in Module 1: Receiving & Clarifying Your Calling and then about Showing Up For Your Calling in Module 2.
We are on this Earth to experience, receive, share and give so much. We can relate to the experiences that we are naturally called into: as our callings.
Your calling isn’t just a vocation or a career.
<aside> 🪐 It’s more accurate to say: Living Your Callings (except it’s a bit harder to say that way). But it is much more true to say that we have many experiences we are called into this life.
I’m called into loving relationship and marriage, I’m called to serve as a life coach, I’m called to garden, I’m called to be an incredible friend and family member, I’m called to serve dog rescues, I’m called to learn the violin, I’m called consistently in so many wonderful ways.

There are many various ways you can choose to awaken more consciously to what you are called to do with your days and this life.
While we encourage everyone to experiment with a habit in the morning consistently first, you will have the freedom to see what works for you.
<aside> 🪐 It should also be noted, that when we have a deep and devoted practice of HABIT 1 Time in Love , sometimes Habit 2 is less important. When we are SO aligned with our inner spiritual nature it can become less important to be aware of what our callings are because we are simply living them.
And it’s important to note that throughout life there will be times when this habit is more important than others. For example when I wanted to transition careers this was very important. And when I was clear I wanted a relationship this was also important then.

We can also loosely relate to living our callings, as our dharma.
<aside> 📚 Yogapedia defines dharma as:
Dharma is an important Hindu, Buddhist and yogic concept, referring to a law or principle which governs the universe. For an individual to live out their dharma is for them to act in accordance with this law. Dharma is considered to be one of the three jewels of Buddhism, alongside sangha and buddha, together paving the path to enlightenment. In Hinduism, it is one of the four main philosophical principles along with Artha, Kama and Moksha. It can also be understood as a law of righteousness and satya (truth), giving order to the customs, behaviours and ethics which make life possible.
The implication of dharma is that there is a right or true way for each person to carry out their life in order to serve both themselves and others. Dharma is closely related to the concepts of duty and selfless service, or seva, and is therefore a fundamental principle of yoga.
And a further explanation:
On an individual level, dharma can refer to a personal mission or purpose. Traditionally, an individual’s dharma is thought to be pre-determined. Depending on karma, a soul is born into a particular caste or social group, either as a reward or a punishment for actions in their past lives. Their path in life is set by universal laws, and the only way to progress is to live within this path and work toward their destined purpose. According to the Bhagavad Gita, it is better to do your own dharma poorly than to do another's well.
It is said that all beings must accept their dharma for order and harmony to exist in the world. If an individual is following their dharma, they are pursuing their truest calling and serving all other beings in the universe by playing their true role.
The result of living in this “right way” is believed to be self-realization and enlightenment. Above all, when your life is aligned with your dharma, it brings a sense of joy and fulfilment.
