The Internal See-Saw Balance of our GIfts and Challenges

The aim in life is to share our gifts, learn from our challenges and to do this as consciously as possible. Your purpose is unique to you, because it is shaped by:

Your soul's qualities
Your personality characteristics
Your life situation

There are no 'hard and fast' explanations for physical imbalances and certainly no one meaning that applies to all people. It is ultimately up to you as an individual to discover how the mind-body connection applies to your unique experience.
With a desire to heal, everyone will be guided on their own path to healing one way or another.

Gifts and challenges
Your greatest gift is also your greatest challenge, because you have come here to master it.  Every gift has to be mastered, like a wild animal that needs to be tamed.
Your gifts and challenges are like a see-saw that needs to be balanced and find its center. Finding this balance means that you understand your gift, what it feels like to use it well and what it feels like to misuse it. Once you find this balance you allow your gifts to flow freely, and you create a positive impact on the world around you.  (journal on gifts, challenges)

Since we are here to share our gifts and learn from our challenges, becoming closer and more familiar with your soul's gifts and challenges starts to give you a very clear sense of purpose and direction.

Soul...
The soul is ultimately responsible for giving the body its life force. In subtle ways, it guides and directs our behavior and actions in the physical form. When the soul chooses to leave the physical body, the body perishes. The soul is driven by wisdom, love and universal service.

Mind...
The next level is the mind, the interactive mechanism between the body and soul. The mind registers and filters emotion (the language of the soul) and registers nerve impulses generated by the body. The degree of communication between the body and mind, and soul and mind depends on your ability to work with your mind to have her work for you and connect them all. When the mind is functioning as intended, it is self-aware, focused and quiet as required. So the mind has two choices: to block out sensation or to listen to it. If the mind is smart, it listens.

Body...
And finally, the body, our outer shell, is a product of both the mind and soul and how it is cared for on a daily basis. The body's magic formula for survival - sleep, diet, environment and exercise - can be used to prolong life or shorten it. You can learn and apply ways to sustain and energize your body - it's your choice.


Just starting, just choosing you, just choosing creating more for yourself is the first step in anything, and gaining confidence in your body is no different!  Dealing with the mental, emotional and spiritual pieces that invariably come up for all of us is the key and the hard work that EveryBody has to deal with when we make the choice for us.
