Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Hi again lovely ones --- I am in a process of discerning what kind of vocation to pursue that is alligned with my spiritual mission and also supports a holistically healthy lifestyle. Although I currently have a paid hustle (non-profit administration/program director job) with a mission I am in love with, I am finding that the logistical demands are in opposition to what I feel the kundalini requires. Rather than going further into the specifics of my situation, I am interested in what y'all do to pay bills in this world and in any stories you can share about living as kundalini-activated/awakened beings in the world as it is. Basically, I feel like retreating into the forest to grow food and make (herbal) medicines over a fire and be barefoot. Y'all feel me? Love!'Ia, present in her exhaustion and attentive to the lessons at hand and thirsty for your responsesWindows Live™ Hotmail®…more than just e-mail. See how it works.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Oh, am I on the same wave length as you, Julia!! I'm still looking for my " right living " as well. So much that will pay the bills, as you say, have too many strings attached or they hurt someone, making it not a right living. I know I wnat a " do no harm " service to others kind of job that allows for love to be given freely/light spread to all but doesn't stab them in the back at the same time, you know? I love arts, healing and sevice that brings joy to people's eyes and hearts. But where I fit in that, I'm still trying to figure out. For now, I'm just playing the Mom and Wife role and trying to keep a home liveable. It doesn't pay anything and sometimes it's a soul-destroying job but it's mine. Good luck! Love, Valarie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I can relate to this feeling in a big way. I am not working and have not for a long time. Am looking for a job where I can make the money I need for now. Trying to picture myself in a " job " is very difficult. I feel like doing two things - one- running away and being alone away from society and all its expectations and working with the K program. How does one do the practice and work- have been wondering this myself. I also at times long to be with other K folk thinking that would help to have set times - as being in an ashram where there is a schedule of what and when to do things. Sometimes I think that would be a good fit for me until I can get myself in a routine. i often oflate can not even think on anything - it is as if I am totally empty of self - hard to sell one's self with those feelings. And I find that the jobs that intrigue me do not pay much - not enough to get me back on track so - dilemma - big dillemma. I have worked all my life and since not working I see how the work was literally killing me physically. mentally and psychologically as well as emotionally and yes spiritually. It is frightening to think I will again be in that situation unless I can find the right fit. You are in a good place with a job - you can look around and decide where to go and where you are being led. I just keep trucking and praying that a good job that will help me in my k process presents. Gotta Chop that wood and haul that water...
