Service School people are so willing to say “yes”. When I do their Hand Analysis readings, their faces light up when I say that is one of their qualities. They are the folks on every committee and often working in jobs you associate with service. They love to give to others and are happiest when they are helping you out.

Their biggest challenge is to remember you can’t pour coffee from an empty pot.

In their love of giving, they forget they need to receive and some of them are loathe to accept anything in return.

If you’re in the Service School remember to think of how good you feel when you give to others and recognize that the rest of us want to feel the same way and enjoy giving to you. If you won’t accept our gifts or help, we lose out and so do you. It’s much more enjoyable to have a give and take than it is to only be on one end of the give and receive continuum.

When they are out of touch with the true essence of service, which is that it empowers both the giver and the receiver, they may give more away than they have and not allow themselves a break from doing until they are exhausted and need a couple of days to recuperate. How much easier it would be if they were to take breaks, look after their needs along the way and receive back from others.

If you are in this school, remember your goal is to serve joyously and not feel like a slave.

Some questions to ponder:
How could you replenish yourself today?
What do you need most right now? Are you willing to give that to yourself?
Have you taken some time for yourself recently? If not, why not?
What is the fear you have about taking some time to relax and enjoy yourself?
How comfortable are you in receiving others?
Do you jump in to offer help before asking to see if it’s wanted?

There’s an Opportunity in Every Challenge

To quote Byron Katie, “Is this true?”

Until today I thought it was and I’ve been using the phrase in speeches, saying it came from the Chinese symbol for crisis. When I began to write this morning, I decided to Google the term and find its origin. Low and behold I found that it’s not even true! I learned that John F. Kennedy originated the phrase and while it was picked up and used by many others since his time, it is not the correct interpretation of the symbol.

So now what do I do? Change the title and alter my thinking or use this as a belief that is very supportive to me?

I’ve decided to go with the latter. Since a belief is made up anyway I may as well adopt this one consciously because when I look for the opportunity in a challenge I find it. When I don’t, I only see the challenge and that can be discouraging.

Here’s how I recommend using this belief to support you in living your life purpose.

When faced with a challenge presented by either your life lesson or by a call to live your life purpose, what if you saw this as an opportunity to step into the highest version of yourself?

My friend Jenn is a great example of this. When she is faced with family members who would rather she acted in a way they approve of, Jenn chooses instead to be her authentic self.

One of Jenn’s life purposes is to be the Master of Family and Relationships. Since she had her hands analyzed she has stopped apologizing for being a “stay at home mom” and works only when it doesn’t interfere with her family’s well-being. She finds true fulfillment in her role, but grew up at a time when staying home was frowned upon for women. Every time she had a full time job she felt that her family suffered and she was stressed out. She sees the opportunity she has to give three boys a wonderful start in their lives and to be a powerful influence on who they become. For Jenn that is enough reward to take on the scorn of others who don’t share her truth.

She described her life purpose inverse as “the Master of Family & Relationships working a 9-5 job with overtime and never spending time with her kids and family?”

For someone like me whose lesson is “Victimization” when I have to assert myself to get someone to fulfill their contract with me, it is an opportunity to step into my power. I used to complain to everyone else but the person I should have been speaking to. That achieved no positive resolution and I always felt like a victim.

Is it scary to assert myself? Yes, I do have some trepidation. However, I have found that every time I was willing to feel the fear and do it anyway I was so grateful to get past another fear.

I invite you take a look for yourself and see if looking for the opportunity in a challenge is a good belief to hold. If it serves you, keep it. If it doesn’t, let it go.

I would love to hear from you. Do you have any other beliefs that may not be valid but give you great support? How about ones you’d like to release that do not help you? How are you doing with finding opportunities in your life lesson and purpose?

I’m going to start sending out some tips to support you on your path to Life Purpose Mastery.

Watch out for your Life Purpose being in its inverse. This can cause the same type of challenge as your lesson does.

I’ll give you some examples of how that looks.

Purpose – The Master of Success
Inverse – You’re stopping just short of completion. You do everything but the last step. You start so many projects none of them get done completely or thoroughly so none succeed.

Purpose – Leader
Inverse – You won’t step up to the leadership plate however you will notice everything that could be done better and criticize those in leadership positions.

Purpose – Artist/Creative
Inverse – You are hiding out. You either refuse to share your creative expressions with anyone or you deny you have any creative ability.

Purpose – Messenger
Inverse – You’re mute. You won’t open your mouth and share anything, never mind that message you feel passionate about but won’t deliver.

As you can see you can take any Life Purpose and turn it around into its opposite or inverse. As you make your way through life you will undoubtedly come up against your inverse. Knowing what it is will help you recognize it more quickly. Take that as a challenge to get back into your connection with your purpose.
Remember fulfillment, passion and feeling like you are really on track in your life come when you are expressing your unique purpose.

I love to receive your comments and questions. If you’ve had your hands analyzed and don’t know what your inverse is, please ask.

I am sharing a unique opportunity with you today. For the past six months I have been working with Wendy Yellen and Eidetics to increase my success and eliminate the blocks that were getting in my way. I have found this to be the most effective, easiest and fastest way to remove blocks and have more joy and peace in my life. I am one of the people who’ve said to Wendy that her program is “almost like magic”!

Here are just a few of my transformations. I am confident in both my self and my work to a much higher level. I take regular action on things I used to procrastinate. Need to clean a mess of papers in my office? I just get busy and do it.

My creativity has increased substantially and I am developing new programs for my business with ease. I am completely connected to the value in my work. My friends and associates have commented on this too. They can see and hear the change in my confidence and personal power.

No more pre-performance anxiety. When I go to speak publicly, I no longer have butterflies. I have received more requests for my services whenever I speak about them, leading to greater income. I get more referrals from satisfied customers and more people are asking for how they can share my work with their groups.

I could go on and on, but I want you to read Wendy’s letter and go to her site and learn more about her offer.

Wouldn’t you love to have these results too? Now you can access this powerful program yourself.
Please do yourself a big favour and check it out. Contact me if you would like to hear more about all I’ve been able to accomplish working with Wendy’s Re-Wire Yourself for Success Eidetic Breakthroughs Home Study Course.

We all know we learn by example, right?

I learned how to be a parent through my growing up years. I was aware of many of the things my parents did and said. Those things were ones I was either determined to not do or motivated to repeat.

But what about all the subtle looks, gestures and actions that I couldn’t remember but had an equally or more profound impact on me? Those I unconsciously adopted and was completely unaware I had.

Through viewing my parents in my eidetic images, I’ve had the pleasure of having them show me their love and listen to me completely, understand me and get me. They love and appreciate me for who I am; no conditions at all. In my images they play with me, cuddle me, take care of me, encourage me and so much more. I experience having everything I truly wanted from them.

Now that I have had the experiences through my images, I am very aware of how good they make me feel and I find I naturally choose to act in more loving, supportive ways to my adult daughter than I ever could before.

I wish I had discovered Eidetics when she was young, and I am so glad I have the opportunity now to be the kind of parent I would have liked to have been.

The images are giving me what I needed so much that it is as if it happened in reality. I am developing self love and the confidence I expect I would have had if my parents had been the way they are in the images.

Have you ever wondered if it is possible to remove inner blocks to success and fulfillment?

I know I did. I’ve spent many years trying to do just that, in a myriad of ways, and have had great success. But I still felt there was more. I wanted something faster and easier than some of the processes I had been using.

About six month ago I began working with Wendy Yellen who is an Eidetic Life Coach. Eidetics was developed and tested over the past 50 years by a psychologist, Akhter Ahsen PhD.

Eidetics uses images to shift blocks in the subconscious. I think it’s better to experience it to understand it. If you go to http://www.eideticlifecoach.com you can sign up for Wendy’s free mini-course, “Re-wire Yourself for Success” and see for yourself how powerful and transformational Eidetics is.

I love to share what works with people and I find Eidetics deeply touches me and heals some pretty deep wounds in what seems to be an effortless way.

Check it out for yourself. You’ll be glad you did.

Have you spent most of your life looking around at family and friends or co-workers wondering why there’s no one else like you?

This is one of the biggest challenges the Creative faces. Creative is the life purpose of those who are artistic or innovative. Creatives see things in different and new ways and their purpose is to share their unique creations with the world.

However it’s awfully uncomfortable to feel like you don’t belong anywhere so they often squelch down their uniqueness and conform to fit in. That is not the answer for their soul though and it leaves them unsettled and unsatisfied.

Some Creatives choose the opposite path and do their best to stand out, often in objectionable ways, with the intent to be the cause of others’ disapproval rather than at the effect. They are really saying “I will do my best to ensure you reject me and then it won’t hurt as much as it does when I am caught off guard by your rebuff”.

Creatives are meant to be in the spotlight and with their experiences of standing out they can be pretty apprehensive about putting their creative expressions out for the world to see.

One of my clients shared a story of being in a family of seven children and being teased and picked on by her siblings. She was quite young and knew that this was wrong because she was “someone famous” and they shouldn’t be doing mean things to her. Of course that brought on more abuse and ridicule. However, she was connected to her soul purpose from a very early age. Having her hands read was confirmation for her that she had been right at age four that she was meant to be in the spotlight.

A good motto for Creatives is “always be true to yourself”. Find your unique creative expression and put it out there. The chances are good you will find an appreciative audience. If you think about your favourite musician and how much you enjoy her/his music, you know the whole world does not feel the same way about this artist. However, if the artist didn’t perform because the whole world wasn’t a fan you would miss out. The same is true for you.

Remember this wise advice from Dr. Wayne Dyer – “Don’t die with your music still in you!”

You can change your belief when you are aware the belief is the problem and not other people.

Here is an example of a subtle way someone gives away her power:
I recently had a conversation with a client I will call Jane whose life purpose is The Artist with Heart. People with this life purpose frequently have experiences where they feel like they do not fit in. They are meant to stand out from the crowd and see things differently and creatively, but that can leave them feeling like a misfit at times.

Jane’s life lesson is Powerlessness. That means she believes she doesn’t have power, even when she does, and thus feels like a victim rather than speaking up and taking responsibility for what is going on.

Jane works on a team of three early childhood educators and they have an agreement that when it’s large group time one will lead the large group activity and the other two will participate to support her. Last week when the time came for the activity to begin, the two others left the group to Jane and went off do paperwork instead of helping.

Instead of speaking up and reminding the two of their commitment, she did the activity alone and seethed about their lack of support. Later recounting the incident, Jane complained about how much she hated going to work. She was silent when I asked her why she didn’t remind them. Partly this comes from her belief that people are difficult, don’t support her, she doesn’t fit in etc. There’s a whole list of these types of limiting beliefs underpinning the action.

She stated that she would do the same to them the next day when it was another’s turn to lead the group.

With the negative energy charge that she has for this belief, she also frequently draws experiences where people are not there for her. Thus her belief continues to be confirmed.

The other challenge is her life lesson coming up. She is giving away her power regularly to her limiting beliefs and by not speaking up she has given her power away to these two people.

The question I asked Jane was, “Do you want a solution that will remedy the situation or do you want to be right about how people are never there for you?”

Have you had an experience or two like Jane’s? What limiting belief would you have to examine and let go of to change your experience of powerlessness? Knowing your life lesson and purpose can speed the process by identifying the typical challenges you’ll have. When you’re aware of them it is so much easier to make a plan to handle them so you feel more powerful in your life.

With warmest regards,

Rosemary

Many people who have their hands analyzed are delighted to find that they have heard their souls calling them to their life purpose through the yearnings in their hearts. However, others upon learning what their prints reveal are shocked and state they have an aversion to this purpose.

What we inevitably discover through our conversation about their purpose is they had a traumatic experience and/or several less challenging episodes when they were young resulting in them denying this aspect of themselves or deciding to never being like the person involved.

Clients whose hands reveal them to be a powerful leader often had experiences with parents, teachers or coaches who abused their power and acted as tyrants, thus frightening them into thinking power is always wielded with force. In coaching, I help them create a vision of a leader who considers the good of all concerned and who creates positive results by leading powerfully.

My clients who have the Creative or Innovative life purpose are often people who have felt different throughout their lives and wanted more than anything to fit in and be one of the crowd. Imagine their amazement when they learn their job is to be unique and to express their creative thoughts, images or music. In coaching ‘Creatives’, I help them value their uniqueness and recognize if they don’t share their distinctive work, the world misses the rich variety of possibilities and gets only more of the same.

Those whose purpose is to be a Healer often experienced challenges growing up that left them feeling wounded, even damaged. As they work to heal themselves they gain a wealth of information they could share with others. Their pain often makes them a compassionate person, one who others feel safe to be with. Coaching ‘Healers’ involves enabling them to see they deserve to be a helping person and their troubles didn’t leave them damaged, rather gave them gifts they now can share.

As the Heart Activist, I’m celebrating the month of love – February – with a very special offer. You can have a mini Life Purpose reading for only $39.00 until March 14 2010. If you don’t live nearby, I can send you the information to make your prints and then we will have a recorded phone conversation you can download and save.

In March I am launching an in-person, small group coaching program. If you are local and would like support with moving forward on your life purpose after your reading, the Lighten Up Your Life Program is for you. I plan to start a telephone version in the near future. Read about it here http://www.rosemaryheenan.coachgenie.com/events.html.

I can’t think of a more challenging dilemma for most humans than loving ourselves unconditionally. I am making a stand for that for myself and for anyone who wants my support in that. I’ve never seen anyone who loves themselves fully want anything less for other people. They are so filled with joy they have no time for hurting anyone else. They want the best for everyone. This is my way of helping to create peace on the world and making the world a better place.

I believe the Lighten Up Your Life small group coaching program is an ideal way for me to move forward on this vision. One key way of living life on purpose is to believe we deserve to have what we desire.

With warmest wishes for you during the month of the heart.

I created a new program for supporting clients in taking the information in their hand analysis and using it to create their inspired, on-purpose life.

Lighten Up Your Life is a fun, inspiring, creative and transforming program that will give you support as you embody your life purpose. The program consists of weekly classes of two hours in a small group of five – six people where you will define, explore and create your life on purpose. We will place special attention on the subtle ways your specific lessons or challenges block you and use tools to eliminate the sabotage.

Read more about it on the events page.

I will be doing a telephone version in the future. Get your hands analyzed and enjoy creating life from what your soul would find fulfilling like clients Maggie McLeod, Intuitive Energy Artist http://maggiemcleodintuitiveenergyart.com and Jenn Merritt, Reiki Master at http://www.stateofbeing.com
