Are You Doing What You Came Here to Do?

A Normal Girl’s Journey to

Becoming a Contemporary Mystic

Life Purpose Angel

I spent most of my adult life living someone else’s idea of who and what I should be. I believe that “someone” was the media, or pop culture, or whoever created the super woman syndrome complete with the notion that women should try to emulate men in the workaholic professional world, while simultaneously being the perfect wife, doting mother and home maker extraordinaire. I gave it my best shot, but somehow it never quite seemed to be a good fit.

I started out as a “normal girl” who went to school and got a job in corporate America. I held positions in retail store management and eventually became a fashion buyer. (I gotta tell you it never felt quite right … Try to get an empath to negotiate hard core business deals, in the totally superficial fashion industry nonetheless. Crazy!?!?!) Fortunately during the mergers and acquisition of the 80’s, I was downsized. I decided to look at this as an opportunity to try something new and innovative. So I created Ready-To-Wear Review, a trade publication for executives in the retail fashion industry, which eventually became a renowned international trade journal. You might say I was the “go to” girl when it came to retail fashion trends. So I did what any “type A” Capricorn would do, I authored several books on the subject as well. I covered all the emerging retail trends of the time from “Electronic Commerce: How to Sell on the Net,” to “Resort Retail, Attracting Today’s Busy Woman,” and “Capitalizing on the Billion $$$ Airport Retail Market.”

And then I WOKE UP! Literally, I woke up one day and said out loud, “Hemlines go up, and hemlines go down. And in the scope of life, it really doesn’t matter. Nobody dies from it, but if I have to write another story about fashion, I might die.” Hmmmm …. Fifteen years of blood, sweat and tears … and I just couldn’t anymore??? What does one do with that??? Ahhhhh, enter the Dark Night of the Soul …. Severe clinical depression, burnout, chronic fatigue. Let’s just say I spent a year on the couch and it wasn’t pretty. Clearly I wasn’t living my life on purpose.

Then I stumbled upon a magazine with an article on Lightworkers and whatever that was; I knew that I was supposed to be a part of it. Even though I had no idea what a Lightworker was, it was as if someone flipped a switch and a light bulb (pun intended) went on. Somehow I just knew. It was then that my Spiritual Awakening began … I was intrigued by anything and everything even remotely spiritual … from reiki, to astrology, numerology, tarot, and even angels …. I just couldn’t get enough. You see during that “dark night of the soul” period I had asked, no I begged God, to show me what I was here for. And as soon as I said YES to being a lightworker it was like the flood gates opened. All the right books, authors, teacher, mentors, etc. just fell in my lap. It was wonderful!

“I was thrilled. Clearly I had finally found my Life Purpose,my true calling, my reason for being.”

Somewhere in there I started channeling angels and during one of those channeled writings, I was told to become a Spiritual Life Coach. OMG how perfect! I had always wanted to be a therapist (but in my family “good girls” didn’t go to college and get masters degrees, they got married and had babies … ). So here I was twenty years later with something even better … Life Coaching. I had just barely started my Life Coach Training and was still completing my Spiritual Psychology program, and I already had paying clients. So cool! On top of that my teachers were referring clients to me. I was thrilled. Clearly I had finally found my Life Purpose, my true calling, my reason for being. Or so I thought … until one fateful day when I met a wise Shaman, Chief Robert TallTree. Much to my dismay, he told me that I was quite mistaken … it was only part of my purpose.

Chief TallTree was doing readings for all those gathered that evening and let me tell you I did NOT want one. Not even one little bit! I just had no desire for him to discuss the details of my personal life in a group setting. Somehow I must have known this wasn’t going to “go well.” But avoidance is a moot point around most Shamans, and this one was no different. After he had read everyone else, he asked me if I was going to finally stop moving around the room and sit down. There was no wiggling out of this one, so I sat down. As I did, he asked me what it was I do. “I have the best job in the world!” I declared. “Really,” Chief TallTree asked, “ And what is that?” “Well I’m a Spiritual Life Coach!” I replied. “And what makes that the best job in the world?” he asked. “Simple,” I responded, “I get to help people find their joy.” “I disagree,” was his oh-so- pointed response, “What about your joy???” He informed me that while I was helping others find their joy, I was not in touch with my own. Needless to say I was dumbfounded.

Being a bit of a stubborn Capricorn, I chose to ignore all of this. After all, he didn’t say “what’ it was I should be doing. So I continued coaching and teaching and, you guessed it … struggling too. You see when spirit wants your attention that’s generally how they get it. They make things a bit difficult. This went on for months. Until one dismal Wisconsin January afternoon, when nothing I was trying seemed to be working, I went back through my divine guidance journal to see what pray tell I had missed. It had to be something, as nothing seemed to be working. And low and behold, nearly every channeled-writing I had done in the preceding six months contained a message to DRAW. In fact the angels had begged me, no they pleaded with me, “Draw Lori, please DRAW!” But, I had chosen to ignore it. “Draw what?” was my constant question. That made no sense to me at all… so I’d simply move on and ask another question.

Today I’m no longer living someone else’s version of reality; I’m living mine … and it is, as the Shaman said it would be, filled with joy!

Well that gloomy January day, I decided to humor them. And then it happened … I sat there in front of my altar with a blank piece of paper and the angelic messages started pouring in … they told me what colors to use, what to draw, where to place it, what it meant. It was the most incredible thing I’ve yet to experience in this lifetime. The angels told me to use this medium to bring forth their messages in both pictures and words. By opening to this process I have seen magic occur before my very eyes. Plus, with no formal artistic training, I have created art that’s been so well received it has found homes in over twenty countries around the world. Now that’s magic in and of itself.

Today I’m no longer living someone else’s version of reality; I’m living mine … and it is, as the Shaman said it would be, filled with joy!

In closing, let me leave you with these thoughts … Are you you living your version of reality? Have you fulfilled your dreams? Are you doing what you came here to do? The question that will haunt you when it’s time to take your last breath, is not how many people you pleased, but rather, “Did you do what you came here to do?”

Utilizing her years of experience as a fashion buyer and retail store manager, as well as her expertise in sighting emerging trends, she was often referred to as the “go to” person in the retail fashion industry.

Michael Jackson said, ˜I believe that all art has as it’s ultimate goal, the union between the material and the spiritual, the human and the divine.” This fully describes my art. Through the use of pastel chalks, mineral pigments and illuminating glitter paints I am able to capture the healing energy of the divine in angelic portraits that engage the viewer through their use of vibrant color and reflective light, while simultaneously enabling them to assimilate the “Wisdom of the Angels” directly into their emotional field by igniting their hearts.

Believing Your Beliefs and Doubting Your Doubts

by Contemporary Mystic, Lori Daniel Falk

As seen in Spectrum of Light


Today I took a peek … a peek at the news that is. What’s so unusual about that you are probably asking, most people do that every day? You’re right, they do, but the fact of the matter is I don’t. Since I became a Spiritual Life Coach six years ago, and started not only practicing, but actually teaching the Law of Attraction to my clients, I stopped watching and/or listening to anything negative or fear-based; that means no news, no horror movies, no action thrillers, or for that matter no murder mystery novels. All done of course in an effort to keep my vibrational frequency at a high enough level to manifest what I want in my life, as opposed to attracting those lower vibrational things such as crisis and fear.

But today I felt a need to peek, to at the very least create a level of awareness that would enable me to effectively understand where my clients are coming from during these rather tumultuous times. As I perused the headlines and scanned the articles, I tried to do so with a level of detached compassion; taking in enough to get a feel for things, but not feeling so much that I would be drawn into the drama, for as we KNOW it is only an illusion after all.

As is generally the case in my life (actually in all of our lives if we will just listen) I was divinely guided to just the right information to give me a broad overview of our current affairs. I was led to some of the most conservative viewpoints, as well as some of the most radical possibilities. I’d be lying if I didn’t tell you my belief of the truth definitively swings in the direction of the radical views, but nonetheless I always try to keep an objective perspective.

After perusing it all, here’s what I know for sure. During volatile times it’s easy to doubt your beliefs and believe your doubts. And since we now understand that the Law of Attraction is in action at ALL times, that’s not a good place to be, especially when the world around us seems to be spinning out of control. So what do we do?

Movies and books, such as The Secret and Louise Hay's "You Can Heal Your Life" have taught us the importance of managing our thoughts and feelings, in order to attract whatever it is we are wanting. Quantum scientists have shown us that the Law of Attraction is a Law of Nature, making it as real to us as say, the Law of Gravity. And since we respect the Law of Gravity, we would never consider jumping off a multi-story building without a parachute or safety net, so why then do we think that we have the "luxury" of negative thinking if we want to attract a joy-filled life?

With this understanding of the Law of Attraction tucked firmly under our hats, we are now all doing our positive affirmations . . . and focusing on positive thinking . . . many of us are even making valiant attempts at better managing our emotions. We're making dream collages and treasure maps, and catching each other when we occasionally slip up and make a silly negative remark. And all of that is wonderful!

So why is it still so hard to master this simple concept and create a blissful existence? Because even with all of that in mind, there's still a missing piece . . . How many of you understand that what is really creating your present reality is what is lingering in your subconscious?

Well that my friends is a FACT! You see the subconscious is operating 24/7, seven days a week. It doesn't go to sleep . . . It doesn't take days off . . . And it doesn't go on vacation, not ever.

Yet understanding this fact is just the tip of the iceberg. Most of us are not aware of what's really going on in our subconscious. We are so focused on our conscious ego mind and what it is thinking, that we assume this is the place from which we are creating. Why? Because it's the only place we really know.

We don't understand the subconscious. We don't realize that the place where those pesky limiting beliefs reside is actually the subconscious mind. So we're not sitting around wondering how our subconscious feels today, or what it needs to change, or even trying to get to know it. Most of us have lived the majority of our lives without even a thought about trying to figure out what's going on in there, much less trying to control it.

But if we want to consciously create the life of our dreams, we need to consciously manage our subconscious minds. We need to start digging around in there and do some deep exploration and find those pesky limiting beliefs that have been brought on from years of negative thinking, or genetically programmed instincts, or even behaviors learned from our parents, or better yet, society. We need to look at these beliefs honestly and objectively, yet with a heart filled with compassion. And then release them like helium filled balloons up into the ethers from whence they came. Only when this is accomplished will we be energetically aligned to truly manifest the life of our dreams.

That my friends is the missing piece. One of the very first books I read on this subject was The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Dr. Joseph Murphy. I read it during a time when I was going through what I commonly refer to as my "dark night of the soul." As I turned the pages and absorbed it's wisdom, I knew at the core of my being that this was TRUTH with a capital "T". The knowledge I gained from this book was the beginning of a major metamorphosis. It spurred me on to greater and greater awakenings that transformed my world from one of hopelessness and despair, to one of purpose and love.

I encourage you to get to know your subconscious well. Understand what it’s thinking, and why. Uncover those limiting beliefs and false illusions that are holding you back and keeping you from your bliss. Only then will you start believing your beliefs and doubting your doubts, and effortlessly attract to you the life of your dreams … even when the world around you seems to be spinning out of control.

The Angel of Abundance Angelic Message Portrait™

Here’s what the Angel of Abundance has to say. She reminds us that the Law of Attraction is in action at all times. Similar to the Law of Gravity, it just is. With that in mind it is important to note that you can only attract things into your life that are in alignment with your current emotional state or vibrational frequency. So not only is it important for us to watch our thoughts, we must monitor our emotions as well. She explains it like this, “If every thought is a prayer, every emotion is an even stronger prayer.” To attract unlimited abundance into your life you must be vibrating at a high frequency. Let the Angel of Abundance help you raise yours now. Let her help you … eliminate negativity … focus on desires instead of fears … practice the fine art of forgiveness … and most important of all, let her help you adopt an attitude of gratitude.
