Why You Should Express the Essence of Your Calling Daily

Prefer to read? Here’s a transcription of the video:

I want to talk to you today about why you should express your unique calling and purpose daily and in all areas of your life.

I’m Anna Gatmon, and wherever you’re watching this, this is coming to you from The Expansive with Anna Gatmon YouTube channel.

So the other day I was on a virtual group meditation and in the meditation, I asked, how can I live more into this consciousness of interconnection and interdependence? How can I bring more wholeness to the world? I said in my heart, I’m willing to let go and step further off if needing to be about me or me succeeding or me moving forward. This consciousness of separation that often comes with fear. And instead, I want to live in one step further into this consciousness of wholeness, of interdependence, of love, feeling I’m part of something larger. We’re in this together. We’re creating the new world together.

Now the answer I got was very clear, and I had this image of me actually moving out individually and uniquely. I thought I’d get something that had to do with me blending into some wholeness, but instead, the answer was to stand out with your uniqueness, stand out and express your unique calling daily.

And then the answer continued and said, if you are aligned to the essence of your calling and you express the essence of who you are, the essence of your soul, the essence of your calling, you will be aligned to the wholeness. So you don’t need to become like everybody else in order to blend into some interdependent interconnected wholeness. But also don’t go into this separation mentality of just about me and whatever goals I set and just moving forward and achieving them.

No, come from the soulful place where you are aligned between your soul essence, your spiritual essence, and its expression in the world. So the invitation to you, to me, to each and every one of us, is to show up fully in our unique way when we are aligned fully to our soul essence, to the spiritual essence of our calling. When we are aligned in this sacred soulful way, we are at our optimal state that whatever we do in all areas of life, our interactions, the choices we make, the decisions we take, the results we get, the products we create, the services we offer, the work we do in the world… Everything is aligned to the home.

That’s how we are interdependent and interconnected in an optimal way, not by becoming all one and the same, but actually through the diversity. That’s what it means when they say unity through diversity. It’s that we’re united in our sacredness. And yet we are unique in the soul essence that we bring forth in the gifts and the medicine and the talents and the capacities that we bring forth. So the way to be in your optimal condition and move forward and through the upheaval and unrest that we are living through is for you to show up fully in your sacred soulful essence and to bring that to the world.

I’m in the middle of teaching The Expansive Path course, and we’re focusing right now on living your calling and living the essence of your calling daily. So one of the things that we did is I guide people through a meditation to discover the essence of your calling, the spiritual essence of your colleagues so that you can express it in many different ways, in all areas of your life, in the physical material world. And what was so beautiful to watch virtually on zoom is when each participant expressed what that essence was for them- the quality, the word they had, an expression, they lit up, they lit up exactly in the way that fit what their essence was. And it was so beautiful to see.

And I felt a deep sense of hope because if each one of us, if you and me and each one of us attune to the essence of who we are, to the essence of our calling, and express that in the world, that is how we will bring about transformation on this planet. And that is how we live into the interconnected, interdependent nature of reality, and of our planet earth and of the world.

This is how we live into this consciousness of interconnection and interdependence. It’s not by going off and just doing our own thing with no care how it affects anybody else or the planet, but it’s also not by disappearing and making ourselves small. No, it’s by connecting to our sacred self, to our soul self, and expressing that in the world every day in everything we are doing.

So I’m curious, what is the spiritual essence of your calling? What is your soul’s essence?
