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...
- On
a sheet of paper, list everything you love or even just like about
the work.
- 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...
- 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),
- 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

ran for the Aroma Siez, applied it to the spasmed muscles and within

completely gone.

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.
