11 Ways to Discover Your Life Purpose Through Your Intuition, by Kris Franken

(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)

Your purpose is so much more than your career or job; it's the way you are in the world, your natural state of being. The way you feel called to do certain types of work, collaborate with particular individuals, serve humanity, and inspire those around you is all an intuitive part of who you that you can access anytime.

Here are 11 ways to intuitively discover the purpose written in the light of your Soul.

1. Follow Your Joy
   Your Soul has come into your body in this life with a natural inclination for joy. Bliss is your natural state; when you follow what lifts your vibration into the realms of bliss and joy, you can be sure that you are listening to the pull of your purpose.Your purpose and career aren't meant to be draining or demanding; they're intended to be uplifting and fulfilling. And although there will be periods that challenge you along the way, when you're feeling satisfyingly deep joy from service and sharing your gifts, you know that you've been trusting the divine process and following your heart.
2. Listen to Love
   If you're not sure of your talents and gifts, listen to love. Love is the voice of your intuition that is aligned with the highest expression of your Soul. Love will show you how you best serve, help, create, transform, collaborate, and inspire.How do you love others? Perhaps it's through a long hug, kind words, compassionate energy, a watercolour painting, cooking a scrumptious meal, writing a poem, or practical, everyday ways. The way you love others is a reflection of how you serve the world and it matters. The world needs you to make mindful waves with an open and generous heart.
3. Sit in Stillness
   The blueprint that's etched into the fabric of your Soul cannot be felt or heard if you're rushing, hustling, or busy all the time. Make time for stillness. Create space for the wise whispers of your heart to guide you each day.This purposeful blueprint is a continuation of all your incarnations; you have been building on your talents for lifetimes! Your intuition has so much to share with you, but it doesn't use words, so it can't compete with the chaos of a cluttered mind. In stillness, you'll feel the knowing that's always present, always loving, always nudging you toward greatness.
4. Expect Miracles
   Miracles are unexpected consequences of living aligned with the flow of your own lifeforce. Your breath and interconnected spirit are connected to the One Spirit, and as you feel this and allow it to guide your life intuitively, miracles will happen at every turn.Your purpose will unfold miraculously if you give up judgments and expectations around what it should look like or what you think you must be doing. The more you hold onto specific desires that leave no room for the fullest expression of your highest purpose, the smaller the field you have to play in.
   Miracles yearn for space. Let go of your pre-planned life and open up to all that is meant for you. Let life surprise and delight you.
5. Learn How You Help
   Consider for a moment what your gift is to your community. What do others ask you for? How do you help others in a way that feels relatively easy, humbly fulfilling, and energetically abundant? The way you help others is a portal to knowing your purpose on a deep level.We all have natural gifts—our own sweet medicine—that feel genuine and freely available. These gifts have been curated and crafted by our Souls over many, many lifetimes to help others—and us—into the highest version of ourselves.
6. Show Up
   Knowing about your gifts is a blessing for you, showing up and putting them to good use is a blessing for humanity. The love, joy, peace, and service in our being will multiply when we give it to others unconditionally.Showing up isn't about hustling or marketing yourself in any way that feels uncomfortable or misaligned. It's about being available to intuitively serve in any way the Divine calls on you through those in your grassroots and/or online communities. The more you love and heal yourself, the more you surrender to the wise intuition within you, and the more you trust in the path of your Soul, the more joyfully available you will be to all those who need you.

   Each time you show up, expect an energy exchange that speaks of abundance in all areas of your life. Believe that you will always be taken care of, financially and otherwise, for that's exactly what the cosmos wishes for you, too.

7. Dance with Life
   If you're working relentlessly, expecting your diligence to provide you with an abundance of rewards, you're more likely to become burnt out than richly satisfied. While you absolutely need to show up, you also need to rest up. Have a dance break, take a trip to the markets, catch up with friends, tend to your garden, and otherwise surrender deeply enough to receive fully from the universe.If you're giving all the time, there's no space to receive. Time away from your computer or workspace will also amplify your creativity and provides the ultimate opening for insight—new and aligned inspiration—to find you.
8. Revel in Your Uniqueness
   There is no one else on earth with the same harmonious fusion of talents, gifts, wisdom, karma, and medicine. There is literally no one in the history of humankind who's got what you've got. Revel in your own kind of magic. Explore and express it, love and care for it. Learn to be inspired by others without following them on their path.This journey you're here to traverse is exclusively yours. Your uniqueness is what draws people to you. Bring your quirks to life in every way that your heart and Soul desire.
9. Expect Challenges
   The challenges you hold within yourself that have not been healed and released will show up in your life externally until you heal them. If you are dealing with self-judgment, you will feel the judgments of others until you make peace with yourself. If you feel unworthy, you will attract others who magnify this unworthy state of being until you feel completely worthy of all the abundance in the world.Welcome the challenges in your life as a gift for you to grow, heal trauma and karma, find yourself, and come home to the greatest version of you.
10. Learn to Pivot
    There are no mistakes or failure in discovering your purpose, only pivots. We all need to pivot when we come across an unexpected roadblock, be it the fallen branch of "failure," heavy clouds of confusion, or the prickly discomfort of someone else’s judgment or opinion.Roadblocks are not a sign you did something "wrong;" they are simply the universe's way of escorting you onto another path that is more aligned with your Soul. Learn to pivot in faith and grace onto a new way. Bless the blocks, embrace the ruins, hold your chin up, look to the stars, and begin again.
11. Trust the Process
    Without trust you may find it difficult to move forward. When self-doubt sneaks into your mind, come back to your heart. Your heart knows and loves all. Through your heartspace you have access to the eternal wisdom of your Soul and Highest Self.Trust that your Highest Self will always have your best interests at heart and that you can count on this expansive part of you to guide you toward the most exciting and blissful path. With deeper trust, your intuition will be clearer to recognize.

You hold the keys to your future and the gold of your gifts. Go within and trust what you intuitively feel to be the next step for you.

I recently saw a psychic who was pretty accurate. During the reading, she told me something that totally blew my mind, however, and I'm having a hard time sorting it out. She told me that I'm not really from this planet - that I'm from another star system, and this is my first incarnation on Earth. She said that I'm a walk-in who entered this body when I almost died as a small child. Well, you could have knocked me over with a feather! She said that this is why I have lots of psychic experiences and am interested in psychic and spiritual matters. This freaked me out so much that I went to another psychic and asked her about it, and she confirmed that it's true! Is this possible? Have you ever seen this before?

Dreamchaser:

Oh boy, here we go!

First of all, no one is from Earth; everyone is from a different planet. Now, some people have the belief that we all come from some other star system, and that is where our souls began. There is even some study that suggests our bodies are composed of the same materials stars are made from, which supposedly validates the idea that we originally came from the stars and/or other planets.

I have been told by a UFO and alien expert that my son is from another planet, and since he chose me as his mother in this life, I must be from there as well - wherever THERE is. I think that what you believe about this subject is what you believe.

Obviously our souls didn't start on planet Earth. We all know this, for we had to start SOMEWHERE. When they have to come up with a name for our Source, most people say we came from Heaven, but where is this Heaven place? Everyone looks UP when they refer to Heaven, so I don't think it's all that far-fetched to believe we all started on a planet that is out there somewhere.

I have also had experiences with people who say they are walk-ins. I won't speak against another reader's reading, so if you were told you are a walk-in and you believe that, then that is that.

For our readers who have no idea what we're talking about, a walk-in is a soul on the other side who doesn't want to go through the whole process of being a baby and growing up through childhood in order to experience human life. That soul would like to just jump into a body at a certain age and go from there.

When a person that is living on earth REALLY wants to die or leave this planet, sometimes that soul and the soul of the walk-in will make a deal. The soul will leave the body, and the walk-in will step into the body and take it over. When this happens, the body keeps on living but everything seems different.

On top of all the ideas above, when we have a spiritual awakening, everything seems different. You see the world differently, you feel differently, you like different things and pretty much EVERYTHING about you is different.

So please, my dear readers, do not assume if you are changing completely that you are a walk-in. Also, when a person has a spiritual awakening, that person naturally becomes very interested in spiritual matters and paranormal phenomena.

Barb, the bottom line for you right now is that you are healthy, happy and whole. Am I correct? You like what is going on in your life, and you feel good about yourself.

I say sit back and enjoy the ride. Use your gut to gauge what is good for you versus what doesn't feel right. Know that if you are happy, you are in the flow.

I wish you continued growth and knowledge!

Astrea:

To recognize an alien so readily, those psychics you visited must be a lot more knowledgeable about alien phenomena than I am. I have interviewed people came from different star systems in THIS life, but I haven't seen many who have had past lives in other galaxies.

In thirty years of doing readings, I think I've only met two people who could say that they came from another planet or a galaxy far, far away, and that this was their first human incarnation, though I suppose it's possible that could be part of your own past life history.

Walk-in energy is usually very scattered and dramatic. It doesn't seem likely that any walk-in would seek someone with alien energy, for in general, walk-ins are lazy and don't want to make much effort in order to experience being human. So if you do have alien energy, it would be harder for a walk-in to feel at home on Earth in your body.

Instead of being a walk-in from another planet, you could have an entity trying to take you over, but again, those spirits generally try to pick an easy target - otherwise it's just too much trouble. Also, if you have a spirit trying to walk in and take over, that entity would strongly discourage you from getting one (let alone two!) psychic readings. Further, a psychic would have to be pretty clueless not to spot something like that right away.

Such an entity would certainly not want someone to know it was there, and after the psychic pointed it out to you, it would almost surely want to leave you. As a rule, no matter where they came from, attached entities do not like to be outed. People who have amnesia sometimes had walk-ins leave unexpectedly. (You know who and where you are.)

Has anyone ever suggested to you that you could be an Indigo or Crystal child? Many of those folks say that they come from other galaxies and star systems, so that could explain the psychics' feelings about you.

Most Indigo and Crystal children are born with their brains on such a different wavelength from their parents' and prior generations' that I could see how a psychic might mistake your personality for being alien. These children are born with an unusual sense of peace and love that many humans don't seem to have in their DNA.

Are you a more peace-loving person than most other people around you? Do you have a desire to change or save the world? Without knowing your age or exact birth information, I can't tell for sure, but from reading your question, I got from you an overall sense of peacefulness with life that most human beings have yet to develop.

If you are one of these children, then you have a big job ahead of you, and you need to get busy! I'm hoping to see some wonderful changes in the world during my own lifetime, so I wish you the very best of luck!

Astrea:

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.

Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!

While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!

I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!

As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.

I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.

You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!

Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.

A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.

You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
