Express Your Soul Gifts

We all have at least a soul gift, a natural ability, a talent. It is something that we do better than most others. It is possible that it lays hidden or gets buried for a variety of reasons. What we need to remember is that our souls have intended for us to express it in our lifetimes. If you have been having the sneaky feeling that you are in the “wrong” job or finding your life a drag everyday, you may well be out of alignment in how you are expressing yourself.
Music, Art and Poetry Of Your Soul
“A musician must make music,
an artist must paint,
a poet must write,
if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself.”
— Abraham Maslow
Ludwig von Beethoven could not have been known for his social grace. He turned deaf due to an illness. As a result, he found it hard to keep a conversation going. Verbal communication was not easy and often embarrassing for Beethoven.
One day, his friend’s son died, leaving his friend in grief. Beethoven went over to his friend’s house. Stuck for words, he did not know what to say to comfort his friend.
Then, he noticed a piano at a corner of the room. He sat down to play. He played beautifully from his heart. He tuned into the love and compassion that he felt for his friend.
When he finished playing the piano, he left.
Later, his friend told others that no one else’s visit meant more.
Our gifts allow us to bring love to the people around us. It is through feelings that we connect best. Through expressing them, we add richness to the world.
How Are We Gifted?
Now how did our soul gifts originate or where did they come from? For some answers, we can look at our soul journey since physical incarnation.
Our natural talents have a lot to do with the stars that we have incarnated on or our in-between lives. For instance, the location of our first physical incarnation assists us in the forming of our soul blueprint and explains much of our personality attributes and inclinations. What “job training” we had while in spirit form also bequeaths us skills that we can express in our lifetime.
We may also be gifted by Spirit with additional skills and abilities for our current lifetime. They are granted in recognition of our past spiritual work. This also explains why some of us have naturally heightened intuitive abilities.
We cannot not vibrate. In the same manner, we cannot not express this gift. It flows from us naturally. It may be that we do not even recognize this gift ourselves but need someone else to point it to us. We express it when we are in our state of Being. We experience aliveness in the space of physical expression of our soul gifts.
“What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do, money comes to us, doors open for us, we feel useful, and the work we do feels like play to us.”
— Julia Cameron

A Bigger Picture To Our Life’s Obstacles
Before our current life incarnation, we are also likely to have chosen to work with certain handicaps or attributes, or be born into certain circumstances; so that we can express our gift even more beautifully. Much of our handicaps or accidents allow us to enhance the use of our remaining physical faculties.
If we do not have a bigger perspective of our situation, we may want find ourselves whining instead. Just like the story of the Cracked Pot. We see only our flaws.
Beethoven did not allow his loss of hearing to stop him from composing music. In fact, his best music pieces were written after he became impaired. He wrote from memory of how the notes sounded. Through his work, he inspired others to know that we should never let a disability interfere with what we love to do.
Expression of our soul gifts helps us in living our highest purpose. We bring ourselves into greater alignment to our divinity. Divinity rests in 5 components; Love, Light, Truth, Abundance, and Power. We will find life less of a struggle and more of a joy, when we embrace our divine self. We radiate brilliance!
“I discovered that people are not really afraid of dying; they’re afraid of not ever having lived, not ever having deeply considered their life’s higher purpose, and not ever having stepped into that purpose and at least try to make a difference to the world.”
—- Joseph Jawarski
