Questions to Connect with Your Essence

Today, I want to share the phrase I heard bellowing from my parents as I drove away to Prom ...

"Reeeeeeeemember Whoooooooo Youuuuuuuuuuu Aaaaaaaaaare!"

Although they meant it more as a 'Be a Good Girl' and I felt it more as embarrassment in my teenage years, I now LOVE this phrase. I have finally grown into its true meaning. And I am now a messenger of this phrase myself, guiding others to "Remember who you TRULY are."

TodQuestions To Connect With Your Essenceay in The SHINE Expansive, I am leading our wonderful group back into connection with their 'Essence'--their core, their Spark, their heart, their deepest purpose, their highest self. This is the key to remembering who you truly are. (It's also the key to offering your gifts fully and making your unique contribution in the world.)

I am inspired to share 5 of the questions with you that I am using as I guide our SHINE group back into connection with their truest self.

If you dare, carve out the 25 minutes to begin Remembering Who You Are.

Take a breath, connect with your center, and let these questions open you to clues about your Essence. Invite stream-of-conscious writing and sketching to quickly and ease-fully flow through you. 

Follow each intuitive impulse in responding to these 5 questions: 
 
1. Travel back to one of your early happy moments in childhood. What did you love doing? How did you play? What was fun for you? How did you naturally engage with Life? Sketch or write it. 

2. Notice one SHINING moment pop into mind from your life so far-- a moment when you felt most liberated, most radiant, most You. Sketch or write about it. 

3.  If you were to create the ideal conditions today for you to feel Fully Alive, what would you do, how would you be, who would be with you, where would you be? 

4. How are you being and what are you doing when you feel the most Ease? Sketch or write it. 

5. What is the most natural fluent 1st language of your Essence? Does your Essence speak in pictures, poetry, song, symbols, music, questions, puns, metaphors, stories, body language, abstract sounds, dance, or? Give yourself permission to speak in this 1st language now.... 

May the answers that flow in response to these questions, become your clues to Remembering Who You Truly Are.
