Reclaim Your Spark and Let it Light Your Way

(If you prefer listening you'll find this topic on my podcast too!)

The things that light you up and spark a fire within you—your personal passions—are vitally important because they are the keys to claiming your spiritual gifts and fulfilling your soul purpose.

So what sparks you?

Check in now: Are your personal passions an important part of your life?

Or do you think of them as luxuries—something you don’t have the time or money to pursue?

Passion is an interesting word and it has different meanings, but my definition is “a compelling love.”

And the word compelling is key here, because our passions move us to do or express something that will connect us with whatever it is that we love.

So let’s talk about discovering and liberating your passions.

Each one is a personal map that will guide you on your life’s journey and show you how to share the countless gifts you have brought with you into the world.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO RECLAIM YOUR SPARK?

A moment ago I asked you to think of what sparks you, and now I’m going to ask again.

What wakes you up? What excites you? What stimulates you?

Your passions are the maps to your soul purpose and the engine that moves you down the path of that purpose.

The spark we’re reclaiming is energy, in a raw, potent form.

Along with feeling unfulfilled, when we’re not living according to our own soul purpose, we also can have a nameless sense of dread. This can show up as anxiety or the “just not right” feeling that comes whenever we’re not living according to our own unique divine blueprint.

So once again, ask yourself the question, “What sparks me?”

BRIGID’S FIRE

The perfect Guardian to call on for support with this is the Goddess Brigid. Brigid is a Celtic Goddess of healing, poetry, inspiration, and the transforming fire of the forge and Earth.

The fire within her brings the spark of life to everything she touches, and she can help you reclaim and tend the fire within your own heart.

Close your eyes, ground yourself into the love of the Earth, and go within yourself to the sacred place that connects you to the Great Mother.

Within this sacred place, Brigid appears before you, radiant in her green cloak.

In her presence you feel a powerful sense of peace and safety, and within this energy of safety, you feel the spark of your own inner fire.

Brigid reaches out and places her hand on your heart, and you feel her love feeding the flames of your inner fire.

All the events and experiences that have served to dampen your inner fire are burned away now in the light of her sacred flame.

Allow yourself to feel all your cells awakening now, nourished by the sparks of your own passions.

As you open your eyes and return to your normal waking state, feel the new life in every part of your body.

Thank Brigid and continue to feel her steady hand on your heart as you go through your day. Everything that has been blocking you is now falling away, and the path before you is opening up, lit by the fire within your own heart.

CONNECT TO YOUR PASSIONS EVERY DAY

As we move through this topic together, you’re accessing the living energy field of passion and reclaiming your spark—connecting more and more to the things that make you feel fired up and fully alive.

You don’t have to wait for something outside you to bring you this feeling. Creating consistent daily time to connect with your passions is a powerful thing you can begin to do for yourself.

As I’ve said, your passions connect you to your life force in a way nothing else can, so when you’re connected to your passions, you’ll feel a flow of energy coming into you.

But passions are also something that you feed—it’s a reciprocal system.

One of the ways you can begin to feed your passions is by changing the way you look at them, putting them in a place of importance, and thinking of them in a sacred way.

Knowing that your passions are sacred and creating a daily ritual of connecting with the things you love will help keep each one from becoming just another thing on your to-do list.

Take a nice deep breath, and as you exhale, allow yourself to relax.

Feel the warm energy of the Goddess Brigid all around you.

Feel her hand on your heart, and allow yourself to relax into a wonderful feeling of safety and love.

Now bring to mind three things that spark you. Allow yourself a few moments of daydreaming about the first one. Keep it lighthearted and playful, and make sure it feels good.

Now let yourself daydream about the second one. Remember to keep it lighthearted and playful.

And now let yourself daydream about your third passion.

From now on, make this a fun daily ritual. Recognize your passions as a powerful part of who you are.

Feel the love and support in the space we share, and own the power of your own inner fire today!
