MidLife Astrology Part 3 - The Bridge - Key 2
We saw in the previous parts of this Midlife Astrology series, that the midlife phase of life can be challenging and anything not aligned with soul's higher purpose will make itself known.
The second key, Life Force Mastery is what actually helps us deal with those challenges and correct the misalignment, so you can step into your life purpose powerfully.
However, this key requires strong commitment on our part to develop self-awareness of how our life force is used and discipline to use it correctly.
Why is this necessary? Because incorrect use of life force is what creates negative karmic patterns.
For this purpose, lets define life force - Its the biggest personal resource you have access to in order to create your life.
It includes your mental and emotional structures — which are your thoughts, beliefs, frameworks through which you see life, emotions, feelings, actions and how you make choices and decisions to move forward.
Every bit of this precious resource goes towards creating your life. And what gets created either takes you towards your life purpose or away from it.
If our thoughts are negative, if we are carrying unresolved negative heavy emotions, then that energy gets infused into our everyday, coloring what we create.
Mastering the correct use of life force is ultimately needed in order to be intentional and conscious and stay consistently aligned with your life purpose.
Without this, we continue to create patterns that need to be resolved aka karma and hence learn those lessons multiple times through the situations that arrive in our life.
Recently, I facilitated the E-Mused workshop for the Society Of Women Engineers in Austin TX. In a playful way we did a deep dive into a topic that can be quite heavy—the inner critic and how to connect to your inner voice aka muse.
And as I reflected back to the workshop, I realized that these topics were intricately intertwined.
What does your Muse have to do with karma?
Actually, everything. The muse or our inner voice or authentic voice or voice of inspiration, whatever you choose to call it, is our connection to the divine source energy within.Divine Creator speaks to us through that voice. How we hear it will vary from person to person.You are a unique being and its up to you to tune into how your muse shows up for you.
If you find that the inner critic is strong for you, then that affects your life in a multitude of ways like:
- how easy or hard it is for you to take risks,
- how you react if things don't go according to plan,
- how resilient you are in the face of challenges, and
- ultimately how supportive you are to help yourself grow and go beyond your comfort zone.
All of the above will inform the choices and decisions you make, whether you allow fomo (fear of missing out) or have unshakeable trust in yourself and your path.
Your inner voice - how you think and speak and choose to express, is a key aspect of your life force energy.
The more you can trust it and its guidance, the more you can stay aligned with what is right for you and your path, and not get swayed by other people's choices and perceived success.
You can stay true to what you really desire to do and what is truly wanting to be expressed through you, rather than trying to fit into someone's else model of life or making choices driven by fear.
So ask yourself, how much do you trust your inner voice? When in your life have you been faced with a decision where the choice was not obvious but you trusted your inner voice and it worked out in the best way possible?
