Right Livelihood

What is "right livelihood"?

Right livelihood is your life purpose put into action. For example, if your life purpose is to teach, you may become a seminar leader, school teacher, or work in developing nations to help the people improve their living conditions.

Although your life purpose is unchangeable, your right livelihood is always subject to change. In the previous example, one person could easily have experienced all three aspects of their life purpose of teaching.

Very few people have one job for 40 or 50 years any more. Even professionals such as doctors and lawyers who have huge investments of time and money in their professions are changing their right livelihood. For example, I know several lawyers who have shifted their right livelihood from practicing law to becoming life coaches. One is a dear friend of mine who was a divorce lawyer, then became a mediator, and now is a relationship coach. Several years ago my doctor decided to shift the implementation of his life purpose of healing from being a doctor to helping to heal people and the environment by creating a company that manufactured and sold environmentally benign soap products and organic foods.

Over the years, the actualization of my life purpose of teaching has shifted numerous times. At one time, I had my own roofing company and taught many women to become roofers. At a deeper level, I was teaching them self-empowerment and how they could break through self-imposed boundaries of belief about what they were capable of doing. As a Realtor, I taught innumerable buyers and sellers about staying centered and balanced with the use of personal boundaries throughout the often fear-filled process of selling and buying property.

Now I'm a life purpose coach and spiritual teacher, guiding my clients and students toward self-awareness and self-empowerment as they move toward the embodiment of their life purpose as it suits them now.

My right livelihood has changed several times during my life so far, and it will no doubt change in the future as well. As will yours.

So the question then becomes, how will you know when you're in the sweet spot of right livelihood?

It's very simple. You love what you do. In fact, you love it so much you don't want to stop doing it. You lose all track of time when you're doing it. You're not doing it because of the money - in many cases the money you receive from doing what you love is minimal or may even be nonexistent. It doesn't matter. You keep doing it anyway, because you can't help yourself. Doing anything else feels empty and forced.

Because my life purpose is to teach, I'm going to teach you a little technique to help you identify the aspects of your right livelihood. For a moment, think about the work you're doing now. Then...

  1. On a sheet of paper, list everything you love or even just like about the work.
  2. On another sheet of paper, list all the things you don't like or hate about the work. Knowing a bit about human nature, I'll share with you that the hate list will be hugely easier for you and it will probably be much longer. That's good, because...
  3. When you're done with the list of negatives, transform everything into its opposite. Those things you hate so much will then become things you'll love. As an example, my job from hell would include working in an office with no windows and no one to talk to. The opposite for me would be working in an office with views of the forest (which I actually do have and am enjoying as I write this),
  4. Add the transformed negatives to your love list.

This will get you started on your way to your right livelihood by helping you to clearly identify the things you love about your life purpose work.

Love,
Kathy

Essential Oil of the Month

Aroma Siez

Summertime fun and games often mean sore muscles afterward.

Aroma Siez™ is a relaxing blend that is excellent for massaging away life's little discomforts. Well suited for use after exercise or at the end of a trying day, it also provides soothing comfort for the head, neck, and tired feet.

It's an advanced complex of anti-inflammatory, muscle-relaxing essential oils that promote circulation and treat spasmed, tight, inflamed, aching muscles resulting from injury, fatigue, or stress. It also relieves headaches.

I've used it often for sore muscles, both for myself and my husband. Relief is almost instant and a big plus is that is smells wonderful.

One evening, the muscles in my mid-back began spasming. The pain was excruciating and I fell to the floor, writhing in agony. My husband ran for the Aroma Siez, applied it to the spasmed muscles and within a minute the pain was much relieved. Within five minutes, it was completely gone.

Suggestions of how to use it:

  • Apply on location full strength.
  • Put 2-3 drops to your bath water.
  • Add to massage oil
  • Apply a drop to your temples and neck muscles to relieve a headache.

Oils included in this blend are:

  • Basil - combats muscle spasms and inflammation. It's relaxing to both striated and smooth muscles.
  • Marjoram - helps regenerate smooth muscle tissue and assists in relieving spasms, sprains, and migraine headaches.
  • Lavender - relieves muscle spasms, sprains, and pains.
  • Peppermint - powerful pain-blocking, anti-inflammatory, and antispasmodic properties.
  • Cypress - improves circulation and lymphatic drainage. Reduces edema and strengthens the vascular system.

The Power of Coaching with Tarot

Unlock your inner knowledge using the Tarot, an ancient and time honored tool of Higher Wisdom.

The Tarot has been used for centuries by people who desired to gain deeper knowledge about the issues and challenges that were facing them so that they could improve their lives.

Benefits:

  • get faster results
  • discern your best choices more easily
  • acquire more complete knowledge about your challenges
  • open to a wider range of opportunities available to you
  • have more fun in coaching and in life
  • extend your array of choices

How the Tarot works
The scenes on the cards are symbolic representations of the life challenges that you, and all of humankind, face in your journey of experiencing, learning, and evolving ever higher each lifetime. These images bypass the conscious mind where the "Inner Critic" lives, which allows direct access to the subconscious mind, where creativity and choice are available.

How the coaching sessions work
At the beginning of each session we'll discuss the issue on which you'd like coaching with Tarot. Together we'll craft the question - an important part of the process. The better the question, the better the answer.

As the reading progresses, at each card you'll have the opportunity to explore different aspects of the issue - the underlying cause, what your thoughts about it may create, your hopes and fears, the specific challenge, and more.

With the Higher Wisdom obtained from the cards, you'll discover choices that are available to you... choices you may have not recognized previously. With this knowledge, you can more easily discern the most beneficial and appropriate steps of action for you. Your coaching and your life will evolve more rapidly and will have deeper meaning for you. You'll achieve greater results.

The sessions are conducted by phone and are confidential. At your request, the session is recorded on CD and mailed to you.

I currently have an opening for 2 clients who want to experience the power of coaching with Tarot. If that's you, email me or call me at 253.853.4033 and let's talk.


AstroArchetypes is a new coaching tool which makes it easy and fun to get the information you need to make better choices. It combines three powerful components:

  • the coaching wheel - a tool for identifying your levels of satisfaction in different areas of your life the houses of
  • astrology - an ancient "map" of the twelve most important parts of your life
  • archetypes - the different roles or personas you adopt according to differing situations and the people involved

These components by themselves are extremely effective. Combined, they're amazingly powerful in getting the information needed about any issue, situation, or relationship so you can move through fear and begin making forward progress.
