To me, medicine is simply a healing, in any form. It can be by the use of herbs or other traditional medicines, modern medicine, energy work, or spiritual work, to name a few. It can also be the care with which you edit someone’s work, the focus when you are actively listening to a client on the phone or “holding space” for a child who is confused and sad.

Medicine comes in so many different shapes, sizes, forms and “deliverables” that you may not even realize what a light worker you actually are.

Your medicine is your soul purpose. It’s why you went through the junk you did as a kid, the reason you didn’t get that job you thought you wanted, or had a series of misfortunes hit you. All that happened so you could grow, learn, and eventually see the opportunity to develop as a human being. It provided a contrast to what you DO want, and helped you learn valuable lessons. It is part of what Byron Katie calls “loving what is.” Your life’s stuff  brought you to where you are now, and as tough as it might have been, the medicine you received through painful situations is simply that – medicine that you can then carry on to help others if you so choose.

Now, we can also carry on that “junk” of our childhood and give that to others. But that is not what you want to give. That is not medicine to be passed on but is the stuff lessons and growth are made of — that (we hope) evolved from it. It’s the “aha moments” that occurred over the years (and those you’ve yet to uncover). All those moments contribute to the medicine you give to the planet.

Your history, both good and not so good, created who you are now and brought you to where you are now. Bless and love it for what it gave you, even when it was disguised as a misfortune.

When you think of yourself bringing your “medicine” to the world, what do you see? Can you see the light you bring when you:

–       care for a sick friend

–       mentor a colleague

–       ask for help from someone (part of the art of receiving)

–       conduct a beautiful workshop

–       lead a team to a great success

–       teach a child about self acceptance

–       cook dinner for those you love, even when you’re tired

–       coach a client who is working through a blind spot

–       encourage a friend who is feeling down

–       listen, just so someone can speak his or her truth

–       stop to speak to a homeless person on the street

–       do your job to the best of your ability for the highest good of everyone involved

There are opportunities to share your medicine, your purpose, all day long. It’s not that I’m talking about one single soul purpose (although there is definitely something only you are here to do in your own way – and that is what I love to help uncover in women) – I’m talking about loving your contribution to the planet, to those you love and even those you don’t know.

So enjoy your gifts. Enjoy giving your gifts as the medicine that is in you, and receiving the medicine others are sharing. Being part of this positive cycle perpetuates the universal law of giving.
