One of my favorite passages in the Bible states that “I have the strength from
Him who imparts power to me.” Many times in the past month I have thought of that scripture as life has got incredibly busy. I’m sure you know the feeling that the entire Universe is speeding up. There is work to be done and we are being called to larger assignments.

It is at times like this that I remember that I do nothing on my own strength. I don’t mean that I feel physically weak. I mean that when we are called to larger tasks, greater purposes in our life and a fuller use of our Sacred Gifts placed in us by God, we also require more energy or life force to accomplish this work.

What I have learned through my study of Sacred Gifts over the past 4 years, is that when we use our Gifts, (not our skills or even our talents), but those Gifts that are divinely given, those Gifts that put us “in the zone”, those Gifts that produce supernatural results, then we are energized.

For example, ask me to do up an excel spreadsheet and that is not energizing. Ask me to help plan a business, do some healing work with a client or write a newsletter and I am energized. I am writing this at 10:00 at night at the end of a very long day. I was going to bed and then I started writing and the energy came back like a battery that had just been recharged.

One of the things that I have been teaching on teleseminars and also at live
workshops over the past several months is how to operate your business using your Sacred Gifts. However, apart from my business, I live my life doing only what I love. Why do I suggest that you do that also?

It’s really very simple. When you do what you love, what energizes you and what produces supernatural results, you are truly operating from a divine place. You feel valuable and valued. You get great feedback and feel loved. You accomplish more because you truly want to do something rather than feeling obligated.

We have all been given Sacred Gifts, probably four or five of them. These are
placed in you at birth and can either remain dormant or they can be brought to life. It is a very spiritual experience to operate from a place of always benefiting others by what you do, feeling a beautiful flow of energy as you go through your day and producing extraordinary results. It’s a place of connection that most people aspire to but rarely attain. Many people know that feeling going into meditation for example, but once out of their meditative state, that relaxed state can feel lost or weakened. Yet you can attain that place of peace and bliss in your everyda y life quite easily. How?

Feeling connected to your Gifts brings you closer to God who gave them to you. Just as when you wear a beautiful sweater from someone you love, you are reminded of the person and feel special and loved. So too when we call forth those Gifts that make you glow, others benefit from and you find effortless, you move into the arms of God.

As your life energy flows through you, it is empowered and strengthened by joy, peace, love and enthusiasm. Consequently, your predominant energy is more positive and less stressful. Sounds pretty idyllic, doesn’t it? You may even be thinking: “My life doesn’t feel very flowing, peaceful or enthusiastic Jan!”

If that’s the case, in really practical terms, how can you move from a place of stress and anxiety to a place that is peaceful and energizing?

1. Strengthen your relationship daily with the Universe/Higher Power/God. Do this through prayer, meditation, conversation, silence or positive reading.
2. Identify Your Sacred Gifts. If you cannot attend a workshop to do this, start right now by identifying things you do that bring benefit to others, energize you, produce extraordinary results and get great feedback from others.
3. Do more of what you love to do and use those Gifts. Let go of the belief  that “you need to do everything”.
4. When you feel any stress, ask yourself: Who or what is causing the stress? Remember the first person to check out is you!
5. Appreciate that the power available to you is unlimited so ask for more
strength, power and energy daily. You can plug in a 20 watt bulb or a 100
watt bulb – it’s your choice. Go for the 100 – its way more fun!

As I operate in this world more and more connected to Source, I am absolutely convinced that the energy available to us is truly unlimited. Yes, I need to rest and rejuvenate but that sleep and rest is sweet and peaceful. It’s calm and relaxing and is done without any guilt, worry or fear. I come back to work energized, excited and enthusiastic. Consequently, I get more done and feel an ease and grace despite the amount of work on my plate.

Apply these five principles in your life and I promise that you will be amazed at how much strength you feel. Strength from above, strength from within and support that is truly remarkable.

The world needs you to be operating at full power. As the Universe speeds things up to bring about much needed changes on this planet, we will all need to tap into that unlimited power source. Today is a great time to start. Go spend some time with God. It will do you good.

Blessings,
