Personal Phone Consultations. The Mountroses have developed a unique and comprehensive approach to individual sessions. From years of experience and research, they have put together a series of checklists, called the SK (Spiritual Kinesiology) Matrix. It helps to pinpoint interferences, perform special balancing, and use the most appropriate interventions for each individual session. This powerful SK Matrix also includes holistic lifestyle support, which can further the session's healing and provide invaluable follow-up suggestions. Phone sessions can help eliminate years of stress and suffering and accelerate spiritual growth.

2. HOW MUCH ARE YOU LIVING YOUR PURPOSE?

Your deeper purpose in life springs from an underlying desire to connect with a greater wholeness. To connect with that Greater You entails exploring your full potential. By learning how to practically live your dreams, you not only help yourself, but beneficially affect many people, life forms, and the earth itself.  

Usually somewhere between ages 35 to 50, the desire to go deeper into ourselves emerges. This is sometimes called the fourth transit, and it may be accompanied by a mid-life crisis. Stepping back and viewing the bigger picture, there is a particular need for many of us to go through this transit successfully and come more into our fuller selves at this time in history.  

Our greater wholeness is where the answers lie; it generates our creativity and zest for life. It creates self-fulfillment, which in turn addresses the larger world, a world of contrast where there can be so much wealth and so much poverty, so much technology and so much ignorance, so much love and so much cruelty.  

To tap into the Greater You, listen to your inner excitement, your soulful inclinations and longings. Then follow up with action. Clear blockages that stand in your way with EFT, Spiritual Kinesiology, or other methods that work for you.  

Doing so creates self confidence and propels you forward on your spiritual path. It helps you know where to direct your energies, when to offer compassion, and when to accept things beyond your control.  

TO DESIRE OR NOT TO DESIRE  

Sometimes we get confused about our deeper purpose when we try to deal with our desires. There is the Eastern idea of desirelessness, becoming an ethereal being who has transcended all earthly desires. Yet while living on earth we are a part of this material world. To become without desires, then, seems to be at odds with why we incarnated on this plane. So how can we understand our desires, both earthly and spiritual?  

Most desires are neutral in themselves if we do not become attached or addicted to them. Pleasure is part of the earthly experience. By being present to our desires, we enlist our soul, at once our eternal witness and divine guide.

There are higher desires, too, deeper gratifications that connect with our true purpose. Such desires are ever present, and can be as seemingly mundane as looking at a tree or taking a walk, or something bigger, like going on a spiritual quest or starting a big project. Such activities can put us in a timeless flow.  

Being aware of our desires can lead to our genuine passion. As Deepak Chopra says,

“Passion is crucial for existence. It is the source of our creativity. And passion is the next stage beyond detachment and surrender. In the Hindu world view … passion is the dynamic dance of the male and feminine energies of the universe, often symbolized as Shiva and Shakti.”

As we progress on our spiritual path, we attune more to spirit, the universe’s creative impulses that stir our soul to action and guide our way. When we pay attention to our guidance, we are inspired and led to fulfill our deeper purpose and greater potential. In effect, our soul’s urges merge with our true personality, our adult self. As a result, we thrive in a world that is filled with fun and success.

LEARNING MORE ABOUT LIVING YOUR TRUE PURPOSE

To help discover and deepen your true purpose, we have a helpful exercise for you. Click here to learn more.

Your purpose will be unique to you and fit your interests, strengths, and gifts. As we become more guided by our soul, our purpose becomes clearer, and can be translated from moment to moment. Following your soul’s guidance brings genuine excitement.

How will you know that you are making progress? Your thoughts, feelings, intuitions, and actions will define and advance your purpose. You will build your own niche, filled with your uniqueness, strengths, and skills.

As we follow our soul’s inspiration and bliss, we lead a life filled with more joy, service, and creativity. That seems about the best thing we can do for ourselves and the planet.
