Bringing Forth Our Spiritual Fingerprint

imgresI’ve figured out my unique spiritual fingerprint* …that thing that makes my eyes shiny, my heart fulfilled, and my spirit soar.

My reactive mind says, “It’s about dang time! (sotto voce, “are you sure, really sure, it’s the right path?”).”

Actually the words I’ve used to name my spiritual fingerprint have morphed over the years. The first one to bring tears to my eyes was “to do my part to create an inheritable world for my children and my children’s children.” Then it was “a change agent for Good in the World” – and now “an agent of healing in the world.” Whether it’s an individual, a couple, a group, a corporate department or company. That healing fingerprint has been present as a theme in my life for as long as I can remember – part of my spiritual DNA.

So how do I grow my spiritual fingerprint? I’ve immersed myself in my specific way of healing – mental, emotional, spiritual – via psychotherapy, coaching, leading/designing trainings, writing the book on Lifeshocks, writing the blog, associating with my spiritual cohort – family and friends with unique spiritual fingerprints who walk the path of Greater Good.

I also disentangle myself from those activities and people who aren’t invested in the Greater Good.

Shiny eyes are a gift, it’s our job to grow that gift and be a part of growing the shiny-eyes in others. And when we goof it up, we learn, we go for it again. Six times down, seven times up!**

    Thank you for this thought provoking blog … I’m grateful to see that your mind and mine have similar commentary when assessing the timing “it’s about dang time” and path itself “are you sure, really sure, it’s the right path ?”. I am awakened to the judgement my mind wants to put on my heart, as I see my Spiritual Fingerprint as my Heart Print – the resonance of my Love and Light in Being. A question of am I willing to risk just being Johnene in the present moment. All that I am moving Grace filled to I will be …

    1. Your mind and mine are dedicated to the same Greater Good …. and I feel more relaxed knowing we walk the same path, with different spiritual fingerprints – both headed for the Greater Good.

    I love this way of talking about who you are and the invitation embedded within. I feel affirmed in my own purpose through your shiny eyes!
