Unfold Your Wings and Watch Life Take Off

Part 1 - Your Calling

Your Calling Will Direct, Heal And Transform Your Life

Opening up to our calling is like the awakening of spring, it happens so gradually we are barely aware of it. All that is needed is for us to gently turn inward to hear our direction and guidance. People ask me "How can I hear my calling?"

Our guidance comes from our heart and can be sensed when we are quiet and still. As we learn to tune in to our heart we become more aware of messages we receive from our whole being. Instead of striving to meet fixed deadlines, we learn just to be - and to trust. Guidance is formed from feelings, images and thoughts that arise within while in this state of being. Working together these feelings, images and thoughts guide our actions and decisions. Giving rise to a range of inner faculties they direct, heal and transform our lives. These inner faculties include:

Intuition : An inner knowing and thought arises from this, sometimes expressed as "a gut feeling", "a feeling in my bones", "following my nose" or "a feeling in my waters".

Insight : A breakthrough in understanding, received from perception of the wholeness of life.

Dream : An aspiration we hold for our lives.

Creativity : A breakthrough in expression achieved by leaps of the imagination.

Conscience : A discomfort caused by misguided action.

Night-time Dream : A symbolic image or story, received while sleeping, which can support, or warn against a course of action.

Supernatural Guidance : A direct communication received from beings in the spiritual realm.

Taken together these faculties represent the Spirit within Man and lead us to discover our true selves - the Christ Within. These inner faculties have both masculine and feminine characteristics. For example, we may feel guidance towards being determined and single minded - a masculine characteristic, while at the same time displaying flexibility and sensitivity - a feminine characteristic. These inner faculties are illustrated in this book, through my own life story.
