Service On the Spiritual Path
Blessed Monday beautiful tribe! I am so incredibly grateful to be here with you and am sending you tremendous waves of energetic Love and hopeful that you take this Light in and let the vibration uplift you. We are in a time of needing more personal connection than less, so let’s energetically link arms and stand with and for each other.
I want to share with you my feelings on service and how I orient myself to being for and with others. In our society where it is prevalent that particularly women overgive and overserve, there can be a tendency to want to serve others at the expense of our own well-being. With so many demands on all our time, we can tend to swing in two directions – do too much, or for the sake of not wanting to get involved and get too overwhelmed, we do nothing. If we are not able to do our absolute best and give our all, then let’s not even start.
And yet service is such a key component on the spiritual path. As I shared with you last week around the Lord’s Prayer, service is one of the 6 key components on the path to actualization and awakening. When we are in service to others, not only do we amplify the other person, we move so much more quickly along our own path. Blessings and miracles abound, and grace shows up in unexpected ways. Yet again, we do not provide an act of service in order to receive something in return. Our intention to be of service in the most open-hearted, loving way that is highest and best for all is the path we must walk. We don’t have an agenda, we are authentic, we are curious and in wonder on how we can be of highest and best, and in this alignment is where our truest next step can emerge.
My spiritual coach Heide is a teacher in the Insight Trainings which was founded by John-Roger. I do not know much about him personally, but while I was at one seminar a couple of years’ back, one quote of his stood out for me above all others – “Service is the Highest form of Loving.” I have used this saying
many times in my life and even have it as a signature line on one of my emails. There is no greater act for me that aligns more with my soul. When I go to any sort of event, I say a prayer before I enter the room to let me be of service in whatever capacity I can to those whom I can serve. I set my intention to Thy will, not my own. I fully allow my Light to expand out to the edges of the room in order to clear what emotional density I can for others. It is in this space and orientation where I know I can be of highest and best. I hold a deep and wide space for those with whom I speak, and then I let it all go. It is not my job to try and fix anything, figure out what to say to make another soul shift, or have an agenda on what any sort of outcome will be. The picture is bigger than any of us can imagine, and Spirit has the guiding hand. My responsibility is to my soul growth first and foremost and then to be of service to others. It is from here that we can see the creation of Heaven in this time and space, right here, right now.
I invite you into a new orientation to service and know that you must first honor you in all that you are becoming. Many people use the analogy of the cups needing to be full in order to fully be able to give to others. I use the four pillars – your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual growth all need to be tended to, and it is from here and from the overflow that we can give. Yet I find the more I give without overgiving is where my Light shines the brightest, miracles show up unexpectedly, and Love enters in all ways. Everything in balance, in truest alignment for you, and in harmony.
Today, honor you, your Light, and then shine it to someone in need. Let’s continue to link arms and keep growing this Love Revolution tribe. The World now more than ever needs our Love, and we are here and ready to serve. We are Love. xo
