Personal Practice – hat is The Gift: Everyone has a gift to give.
I believe we are on this life journey to learn and acquire new knowledge and ways to support us and the next phase of our evolution. Barbara De Angelis states, “We’re here to learn. There is a curriculum. We each have certain courses. You can figure out your courses if you look at the experiences in your life.”
“Everything in life is a vehicle for your transformation – use it.” ~Ram Dass

4. Now sit back, take a deep breath, and close your eyes; ASK YOURSELF without judgment: “What Gift inside of me wants to come out?” Allow all thoughts to be valid notice the ideas “downloading” and the feelings you have about those ideas let the most potent visions come to the top. Then open your eyes and write any thoughts, actions, and desires that come to mind.

When you see them write them down and visualize them, focus on what makes you happy, joyous, and inspired about implementing that Gift.
