Deep fulfilment and meaningful achievement lives way beyond the rational mind
Goal setting has its place but it will limit the possibilities available
For the past 25 years my orientation in life has been one of hearing the callings and following the intuitive pulls.
What that has meant is that I’ve taken turns, gone in opposite directions and found myself in places that were completely unexpected.
In 1998 I learned that my 18 week old baby had a diaphragmatic hernia and had a 7% chance of survival. Yet I found a doctor who told me that should his lungs be formed that an operation post birth would lead to a perfectly normal life.
Unfortunately when Joshua was born in February 1999 his lungs weren’t formed and we took him off life support at 11 days old.
Understandably I lost myself for a few years post Joshua’s death and the end of a marriage until I followed an on the spot instinct to commit to an eight month personal growth program in 2002/2003. That program changed my life.
During that program I heard Joshua say to me ‘you’re here to ignite peoples’ spirits and hearts. That’s what you did for me and 11 days was all I needed and now I do the same to you.’
What did that mean? I had no idea BUT I could feel the calling in my heart. And I knew I had to leave my human resources directorship career to commit to exploring and understanding that calling.
After much meditation and presencing, I started my first business Dare to be Remarkable, a facilitation business where I delivered life-changing programs.
I also married again in June 2004 to Clayton and this year we will be 20 years married. He found me at a night club following his own intuition that he was going to meet ‘the girl forever’ that night. What he discovered upon meeting me was that I was the girl that a friend of his had suggested we meet. Magic.
In 2011 I lost my confidence with my work, particularly around ‘sales’. I gave my power away and followed sales and marketing experts’ advice. After a few years of lots of no fruit bearing work, financial anxiety, feeling hopelessly helpless, not knowing which way to turn, I received a breakthrough shift in perception that changed everything. It changed who I worked with, the purpose of my work and also the way in which I worked. In 2013 I engaged a Mastermind Model and since then have facilitated retreats overseas in China, Phuket, Vietnam, Croatia and I’ll be in Kenya this year for my 5th time in November.
Clients came through what I wrote on Facebook rather than all the strategies that the experts advised and I am so grateful for that, and of course referrals. Each piece of writing was and still is a calling. I do not creating content for the sake of content. In fact I am currently writing this on our long drive home from our holiday in Queensland.
Then I so unexpectedly started to also use my voice and launched The Intuitive Pull Podcast in December 2021. It’s had 16,500 downloads to date and is ranked in the top 3% of podcasts globally.
Last June I was pulled to let go of The Catalysts Mastermind - the model that I’ve worked with successfully for the past 10 years. Such a brave decision as the Mastermind has been my main source of income. I could no longer feel the energy. Instead I was called to begin a new program ‘Sacred Leadership’ for certain people I’d coached over the years. I had zero idea about this at the beginning of 2023.
And this year I have very BIG energy to go beyond the ceiling of who I am, how I show up and what I catalyse through my work. This includes the new Untapped Abundance Mastermind which is a Mastermind like no other that I know of for the coaches, healers and mentors that will be of service to the Masterminders in this one program. I will also be birthing The Intuitive Entrepreneur Group Program and some other delicious forms of service that I’m not ready to share yet. Although I will say that the coaching models that have arrived are way beyond what I have seen for myself and others until now. Big energy. Big capacity. Big leadership. Big service. Big miracles and Big results.
Why am I sharing all of this?
ALL of this is what I call 'sacred business', from the intuition to continue with the pregnancy, to the ending of my marriage, to my life devoted to personal growth till the day that I die in my 90’s I hope, to the ending of my human resources career to stepping into my life’s work and all the continued twists and turns that will continue to grace my/our world.
I share this with you in January 2024 at a time where people are mentally, emotionally, energetically and practically preparing and readying themselves for the year ahead.
I share this with you to encourage you to receive your own callings, your own intuitive pulls that perhaps will also take you in opposite directions, or on your own twists and turns, or in visions that you had no pre-conception up until now.
I share this with you to remind you that your spirit is infinite and your capacity greater than you think.
As you can see from my experience when we orientate from a place of 'sacred business' it is beyond goal setting, intentions and new years resolutions!
Sacred Business cannot be accessed in the day to day of our lives.
It cannot be accessed through our rational minds.
And it definitely cannot be accessed when there is energy leaking in from previous years that has not been cleaned up.
How to listen in, receive and align with your own sacred business.
Choose to and decide to take regular time out from the day to day doinginess of your life. Go for a walk in nature, meditate and journal. Not just once but as a practise. Devote time to this. Regularly. Here’s a meditation that I recorded on 1 January to connect with the ‘untapped abundance’ of who you are.
Listen to podcasts, watch YouTube videos, read articles and books that open you up, that feed your soul and take note of the breadcrumbs and intuitive hits and connections you will make. I watched this YouTube video yesterday and I then wrote this article.
Talk with others who live their lives from this orientation. Allow their energy to impact your own.
Work with a coach to help open you up to see what you can’t until you can.
And mostly, take responsibility to live your life from this orientation. This is not something you choose to take responsibility only in January of each year. This is way of being. This is a devotion to reaching into the heavens receiving direction from beyond the daily preoccupations of your life, all the while being grounded here on earth.
Towards the end of last year I was called to facilitate a 2 day program dedicated to giving participants the space to presence, feel, listen and receive their own sacred business for 2024. I was and continue to be very, very, very called to put this program on. When it courses through my veins like it is with this program, I KNOW there is magic beyond what I can comprehend right now, and beyond what anyone who comes can comprehend right now.
I will be facilitating this program with my co-facilitators Troy Methorst and Bec Sedgman who are breath work facilitators extraordinaire. Through breakthwork and other processes we will go deep into our intuitive mind and this is where your sacred business will be accessed - way, way beyond the stories, perceptions, assumptions, beliefs, burdens, failures, shame and expectations.
This is not for brand new people who have never done personal growth work before. There needs to already be an understanding and commitment to take 100% personal responsibility for your life.
It is an in person program on 6 & 7 February at The Q Station in Manly, Sydney. The investment is $1,650.
It would be an honour to share this precious time together. If you show up fully I promise you that these two days will provide the footing for 2024 of a deeply meaningful kind.
Please connect with me here if you’re called to be there.
Love,
Gisele
