Renewing Joy to Uncover our Soul Mission, the blessing of Venus Retrograde

The Soul Mission sessions came in from the Goddess Sheshat as a beacon of light on our soul's journey. Since 2010, I have been working in partnership with her to assist many in walking thier highest purpose. With the shake up of this summer's Venus Retrograde, Sheshat offers renewed guidance and direction which can illuminate our path. 

The Venus retrograde is forcing all of us to stop the forward action of our desires. In our drive to achieve and embrace our dreams, the retrograde delivers not merely a pause in our visions but a backward force. We must re-dream our dreams to see if they still serve our soul's path. This has been a tumultuous time for many, for not only must we re-examine, but in some cases rebuild!, our future completely.

Relationships have been much of the focus, but of even greater import is the relationship with ourselves.

How well are we serving the truth of this heart? 

Are we in honor of the path of this soul?

The Soul Mission sessions with Sheshat are sensitive to this. They not only hold the dream of us in this life but also, in the expanse of the soul's journey though many lifetimes, they give us a broader picture of how to manifest the fullness of our light. More than career and relationship focus, the Soul Mission seeks to help us grasp the enormity of our power and gives us the vision to walk it in this current incarnation.



We have grown up in a society which directs down certain paths. Some have rebelled while many have conformed. Is your life what you want it to be?


When it is against the grain to "do what you want," this Venus retrograde appears as a perfect window to rebel in style. Thwart the system, screw the man, do what the hell you want are some of the rallying cries of this astrological blessing.

In my article the Myth of Normal, I share how we have been raised on a false premise...if we follow a conventional path, contentment and success is the result.  That belief which we have been fed is a myth!  It is in embracing our joy full throttle that we can uncover our purpose. The radiant Danielle LaPorte has been echoing the same though her work with the Desire Map. Find your joy and your path will appear!

The devastation for some may come in not knowing what they are passionate about. Can you in your heart of hearts reclaim your joy? Do you know the secret key to unlock your vital soul?

Passion is our purpose. To be in centered awareness with this throbbing source of truth within is the driving force of this retrograde.

Where many may falter is in having the courage to face and walk the path Venus sets before us. In making the changes she reveals, we are all but guaranteed a life that is on track with our destiny.

Like the green bud of spring, all life is fresh and new around us now. Keep reclaiming the joy, follow the bliss and we are assured an alignment with our soul that will fulfill us emotionally, financially, physically and spiritually. If we ignore the bud, it is sure to wilt, returning us to our mundane and unsatisfied reality. 

If you need a hint, we stand at the ready to 

usher you back to yourself.

Wanting What the Soul Craves

You know those days where you just feel blah?  Not inspired, stump-like and wondering where the heck the magic in your own life went?  I had one of those last week.  

I complained, I stewed and then I pulled out the Desire Map.  Whoooosh... Synchronicities started flying in left and right (8, count em 8 coincidences, that I had experienced and overlooked in that day alone) and I got to the bottom of my shit.  What I really want more than anything...

I want to be Worshipped 

 

As soon as I wrote it, I panicked.  "Oh my god, did you really write this?" shouted my brain.   What a selfish diva-y thing to want. 

I breathed through my heart whilst it seized up and stepped back.  Obviously, yes some part of me really wants to be worshipped.


Ok, just breathe and allow.  If I do as the Goddess that is Danielle LaPorte reminds us: that by following our Desires, we find the way to the fullest expression of our Soul: then I must honor this little truth and see what happens if I embrace it.  

"The fact is, they are your current desires and they're trying to show you something: the way to your Soul."   

Desire Map pg. 60    

So thus embracing, writing, drawing, and journaling the heck out of this truth, I went to bed dreaming upon my being worshiped and letting go of the Guilt, Shame, Ego that tried to come in with it. 

The next day, I went to the office and, lo and behold, the worshipping had begun.

- a bag of chocolate sat upon my desk and  a fresh orchid on my side table -

No note, no card, no "hey thanks for that" message, just the gifts lay waiting.  

And even a week later, it continues... I received not one, but two, amazing gifts of hand made jewelry from clients.  Both so soulful and lovely in their perfection and neither artist knowing the depth of the gift she has shared. 

I feel so very blessed and honor the part of me that really wants to be worshipped.  When we can be in full out honesty with our Soul, the synchronicities can begin to flow and more of Us comes into the world.  

"I am in service to the Universe and by honoring my own truth, I can serve in the full magnitude of the the potential my soul holds for me."  Thus is my prayer and how I temper my ego each time core desires rise up to the surface.

Desire Map your way into Bliss

One of the most frequent requests I hear is that people feel "in a rut" and want to get back to themselves... be it joy, career, relationships.  People are having a hard time feeling good in this crazy ass world.

At least once a day, I suggest to invest in the Desire Map.  So take this as your sign if you've been sittin' on the fence. 

Danielle Laporte is changing the way I see the world and myself in it.  Why do we choose unhappy over those things which serve our soul.  Why do we turn away from joy and toward obligation?

"Because it's selfish" is most often the answer. 

What if being in service to those things that bring us bliss, and give us the most energy, is exactly what God asked us to do down here?


The Desire Map puts you back in touch with the Truth. We have to get out of our own way, break from what we should do and find what we WANT to do in order to be in service to our Soul. I called it the Valiant Pursuit of Joy and suggested ways to be in service to your bliss... Danielle's program helps you unearth it, baby!

Get a life coach, book a session, or do all the gorgeous work your own with the help of the Desire Map. It comes with a PRINTED book (it’s embossed, even!) a downloadable book, audio book, a series of audio contemplations; a private, online Desire Map space; an app, and 12 weeks of weekly inspiration to help people make desire-mapping a true practice. 

Everything you need to get you to the core of your own Soul.  A psychic reading will do the same, but the process of self discovery is really too delicious to resist. 

Here's a video I shared on YouTube last February... before I saw Danielle in SLC or read the book.  Guess we're playing in the same sumptuous, soul serving waters!
