CLASS NOTES AND RECORDING
Business/Soul Partnership Indicator - tells you exactly what you need to be focusing on. You can do it at the start of each month, or even each week. Then review Part II and act on the answers.
See Handbook (Actions section) for a copy of the Indicator.
Today is about welcoming a partner into your business, your soul. When you feel you are co-creating with your soul, then the soul of your business itself gets activated in line with yours and there is a whole two– way flow going on. What is the soul? It’s life-force, essence, energy. We cover this more in another class, but everything has essence, everything has a soul, and so does your business.
So how do you have this partnership? Well, it’s like any other partnership really. Firstly it is based on communication. And that involves both listening and sharing. So when you use the Business/Soul Partnership Indicator, whether you realised it or not, that was your soul speaking to you. (So long as you weren’t censoring!). Whenever you are quiet and still and hear or sense words, images, or sensations, that is your soul speaking. When you have an inspired idea, it’s coming from your soul. When you ask for help, or pray, when you receive answers, they are coming from your soul. So this is a really important relationship, and if you are not already beginning and preferably ending your business day in some quiet time with your soul partner, then I strongly encourage you to do so.
Since I have been doing this consistently over the last year or two, as opposed to sporadically, it has provided a sacred holding space out of which all my actions are taken. You may be doing all this already with meditation or your own inner practice of some kind. What I’m suggesting is that you do this within the business context as well. If you don’t want to include it in your existing practice, then start your day with 5 minutes at least in your office, or just before you go there. Bring yourself into a place of stillness and invite your soul to be present during your business day. Actually the soul is always present, it’s more a matter of putting your ego to one side and remembering to continue to do that, so that you can benefit from your soul’s input!
What does ‘joined up’ or ‘connected’ look like in the human world?
It looks like feeling peaceful no matter what goes on around you; it looks like having an inspired idea in the moment, as mentioned in Peter Caddy’s book ‘In Perfect Timing’ about his experiences at Findhorn; it looks like silently sitting and hearing the small voice within; it looks like feeling centred. It’s about trusting that all will work out in the end.
Your challenge in your business (and in life actually) is to have the intention to be in that light filled, soul-filled place of quiet joy before you take action on your business. Now it’s not going to happen all the time, especially to start with. But when you take the time to be in that place, and if you’ve been practicing this you’ll realise it, your experience of your work is different. It’s almost as if it comes from a different place – and of course it does, because you are not alone. Your soul, your business partner, is there with you, guiding your hand, illuminating your voice, flowing through your body. And you can tell this because you feel good. You just feel good. Joy doesn’t have to be this incredibly exuberant feeling, it can be a quiet joy too.
Future Business Self visualisation
Getting in touch with your Future Business Self (see Handbook, Actions section for full version), ask these questions (and any others that come to mind):
What limiting beliefs have been getting in your way?
What are the fears that have been running you?
What behaviour patterns have not been serving you? What have you been doing repetitively that has not been working, what is it time to give up now?
What is it I am doing right, or have been doing right?
Listen to your answers. Your future self knows the questions to ask, and wants to support you now in co-creating your business from a higher place, along with her and your soul.
I have used the principles I write about here in RichThinkers to bring about all kinds of things in my life, including running a successful counselling practice and health clinic business. Coming from a place of inspiration has enabled me to bring meaning and magic into all that I do, and my background in psychotherapy and counselling, combined with practical business skills, means I am uniquely positioned to help you in both the inner and the outer levels of success.
