The use of Intent is one of the most basic and powerful tools you use to advance on your path. Even knowing the importance of Intent, what some people forgot is that coming into body is intentional. In fact, it is Intent itself that caused you to take on a body. Due to the density of the timeframe you live in, one of the difficulties is that you forget what the Intent is for this particular lifetime. You forget what you are meant to complete and fulfill. The good news is that you do not need to create a purpose for your life. It was already created by you with intention before you came into body. All you need to do is to uncover that original Intent and then live it to fulfillment. In a previous dissertation, I spoke about the subconscious and the unconscious. Your Intent or purpose for this lifetime lies in your unconscious. Like a diamond, it is just waiting to be uncovered by you. Do your healing, clear your emotional charges and clean out your beliefs and stale knowledge. As you do so, you begin to eliminate your subconscious, opening the way to your unconscious. Some more good news is that when you uncover your original Intent or purpose, all of the forces of your Dreamer or higher aspects of Self rally behind you to help you fulfill your purpose. I call living in accordance to your Intent, living on purpose or walking the path of your destiny. It is when your spiritual path truly begins. You are connected to that aspect of Self that is so much more powerful, intelligent. It is the Self that exists in alignment to the Intent of the Nagual or All That Is. That larger,Self comes through the personality self to co-create your life in accordance to your life purpose.

Go to: http://masteryofawareness.com to find out more about this Special Offer from LightWurks . . . True fulfillment in life comes through realizing your original Intent for this lifetime. When you live on purpose Power moves into your life. Life flows. New probabilities and opportunities come your way.

As an empowered being, you gain the ability to have a positive impact on your self and in life. Every morning set your Intent. Find those urges from deep within and set your Intent to follow them.

As you do so your life has greater meaning and you will find the deep fulfillment that comes through living on purpose.

It just doesn't stop. -John Hello John, When we are feeling drained, it is because we are losing energy. Unfortunately, there are many ways that we lose energy and this is why it is so important to do the work on our personal and spiritual growth path. As we learn how we allow our energy to be drained from us we also gain the awareness and tools to reclaim our energy and refine it. We hope you choose to take some steps on a spiritual path for yourself, John. Feeling so drained or like an empty shell is a significant sign from life that you need to make changes in your life. Love and Light, K2 (Kris & Kalyn) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Guides, I have been on my path for quite some time now, but have only become aware of it recently. Since I was a child I felt somehow different but did not know how or why. By the time I was in High School and took my first Psychology course, I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others. I also knew I was going to strive to become "self-actualized". I am now 41, soon to be divorced, and a Mom to two small children. Along with adapting to my new life as a single Mom, I am struggling with many issues, most of which stem from childhood wounds and others from social conditioning. I am currently faced with two situations which bring up the question of self-sacrifice versus personal happiness. Is it the Nagual's way to always choose what is best for others instead of what we want? I understand the concept that we receive fulfillment from doing for others. For example, should we remain in unhappy marriages because we chose the relationship and have a commitment to see it through? I chose to marry someone who is very immature, has a very unhealthy attachment to his family and who is bipolar. Is it selfish of me to want to pursue my hopes and dreams, which now I know will be achieved as long as I am working my path? I've always had a fear of being alone, fear of abandonment and I have an opportunity here and now to reach my full potential. This theme of sacrificing things I want for the sake of others keeps coming up. When does self-sacrifice help you on your path and when does it hinder you? I look forward to the day when I do not have to seek outside counsel. Until that day, however, I really could use some guidance on this matter. -Debbie Hello Debbie, It is significant and meaningful that you are aware of the pattern of self-sacrifice in your life, as this is a part of your life issue or your karma. A Nagual is a master of perception, as they are able to see life more clearly than most and they are able to see deeper beyond time and space. As such, a Nagual works at a higher level of purpose or motivation than most. To a Nagual, there is no such thing as self-sacrifice because everything they do has purpose and intent to it. A Nagual has mastered their life issue, or karma. They have gone through situations like you have, Debbie, but they have dealt with them differently. A Nagual is always guided by something greater than themselves and by following this guidance they are able to shift, change and improve their lives. Our life issue is meant to provide us with challenges to overcome and grow from. It is only through these challenges that we have the opportunity to become aware of and take actions with what we need to do. It is these actions that change ourselves, our lives and our energy. Thus, a Naguals guidance is available to us all. Life is our greatest teacher because it is always objective and always serves us by providing the challenges necessary to our life issue. Use what life is giving you Debbie. Take steps towards shifting your perception to realize that your life is not really about self-sacrifice, but rather about the challenge of finding what you really need to do and following this through, knowing that you are doing what is best for yourself or your family. Although these challenges dont always feel good, we need to bear in mind that the love and joy that we bring to our lives when we do what is best, not what feels best in the moment, is beyond our wildest dreams. Debbie, we hope that you can realize that you have a choice between seeking out and doing what is in yours and your familys best interest or feeling punished in this life by having to sacrifice yourself. Your lifes potential lies in seeking out and living up to the challenges you have been given.

Manifesting Using the Powerful Energy of Your Sexual Center is a process that focuses specifically on manifesting abundance using the power of our creative sexual center, our second chakra. This is our divine energetic channel for creativity, the chakra of our sexual power. Creating life is not the only thing we are able to manifest, of course. It is, however, the key to our manifestation so in this process we focus on using this energetic center in manifesting abundance into our lives. Testimonial: "Awesome process, Kris! I have so much to say about it I do not know where to begin. What was funny about this process is that I did it after my girlfriend had gone to bed so when I got to the part where I spoke what I am manifesting out loud, I was afraid of waking her up. But then I said 'So what. Go for it!' I figure for manifesting an abundance of money in my life, and by consequence hers, she can afford (no pun intended!) to lose a couple minutes of sleep. I had some difficulty letting thoughts and pictures of what to do come to me. At first what was coming to me was not making any sense. I guess I was judging it and not allowing it to be there. In the end I got clear on what to do--cut up all but one or two of my credit cards and begin a process of paying them off. I really enjoyed activating my sexual center in this one. I really sensed the power that it brought. Thank you for making this process available.

When I ask a question and I do not get an answer, then, is it alright to "assume" that the answer is a "No"? Example: I asked my friend if he believes in celebrating Christmas and/or the holidays. His initial answer is: "We should be celebrating Christmas every day." Prodding does not produce a more definite answer. Then, can I safely "assume" that I should refrain from giving him a holiday present or wishing him "happy holidays" and pretend that there is nothing different about the season? Hello Nenet, Even when we dont receive an answer to a question we still cannot safely make assumptions. In your example, your friend is just distant with people and wishes to be left alone. However, since you are friends, you still want to connect with him. Wishing him a happy holiday will communicate positive wishes from you. There is no need to remove such communication and since you are friends he will appreciate your sentiment. In order to clarify your situation you may choose to ask a second question when vague answers are given. Instead of assuming that your friend does not celebrate the holidays, simply re-phrase the question and ask if he does celebrate the holidays instead of asking if he believes in celebrating them.

Our Souls encompass everything. They encompass what we feel is good and bad, but at the levels of our Souls there is no such thing as good/bad, or right/wrong. Everything is just a part of creation and at the energetic levels at which our Souls reside, any negativity is transformed into love. In this sense, we may feel that we find our Souls in beauty, joy and the flow of life. It is beneficial to us look for these in our lives, but they can often be difficult to find, out-shadowed by our hardships, problems and pain. These are challenges that we must work through, but at the same time we can strive to harness the beauty, joy and flow of life. As we work through challenges and strive for beauty, joy and flow of life, what we strive for can grow and increase in our lives. By working with challenges and striving for beauty, joy and flow of life we seek our Souls. Journaling- Every day this week seek: Ask yourself, is there beauty, joy and flow in my life? Using the following pages to seek beauty, or an inner light in things, joy, the by-product of love in our lives, and flow, being in the flow of life and your Soul. Love and Light, Kalyn [IMAGE]Ask The Author: While Kalyn was completing Seek Your Soul, she offered a web site where she posted selected parts of the book and encouraged people to participate in the book and on the site. This is an entry posted by a participant regarding "Seek Shades of your Soul". Dear Kalyn, The comment that at the energy levels that our souls reside in all negativity is transformed into love... I've not heard it put that way. That does explain how I can somewhat feel a flow of love, and of joy in my being but still be trapped by self doubt. You make it sound so easy to just let go of the rocks at the bottom of this river called self doubt and let the flow of love carry me up to where I can fly. -misha Hi Misha, A huge limitation that many people put on themselves is the false belief that we are bad or wrong when we are negative and that we are unacceptable to our Souls this way. This false belief comes from the idea of sinning and that as sinners we are cast out of Eden or Heaven. This brings us to think that we are unacceptable if we are imperfect, negative or flawed in any way. This is a terrible belief because when we live by this, we tend to feel bad about ourselves and draw ourselves away from our connecting with our Souls, thinking that we will be cast out. For this reason people also tend to avoid having negative thoughts or admitting any negative aspects to themselves. Doing our best is important in life but avoiding negativity does not necessarily mean that we are doing our best. We are imperfect by our very nature and it is the correcting of our mistakes or sins that draws us closer to our Souls. By avoiding these we avoid a part of ourselves, keeping the dark places of ourselves even darker. Our Souls have the power to take our dark parts and transform these, but this is only possible when we dont deny or avoid these. It is required that we acknowledge our mistakes or the acts that we have taken against ourselves (sins) so that we can pray for correction from our Souls and so that we can work to change and improve ourselves, which also brings us closer to our Souls. Dumping our rocks at the bottom of the stream, as you say Misha, does sound simple because opening to help begins by simply praying for help. However, letting go of fears or habitual behaviors is the challenge that complicates our journey. As such, working to release old fears, attachments and unhealthy habits is where we need to focus our energy. Whether we believe that we were cast out of Eden or not, we all recognize that we are meant to bring Heaven to Earth. We all have the potential to live a heavenly life all that is requires is that we seek this, which is synonymous with seeking our Souls.
