Episode Details

Do you consider yourself to be a human being vs. a human doing? Let’s be honest—most people are pros at “doing.”

Is There More?

You make lists and tick the boxes. You read the books, meditate, maybe perform rituals, and strive to “stay aligned.” But somewhere in the back of your mind or buried beneath the pile of laundry and oracle decks, you know there’s more.

Something quieter. Something deeper. What is that something? Its being.

Human Being Vs. Human Doing

According to spiritual experts and those who have left organized religion behind, “doing” and “being” often show up as polar opposites. Society drives “doing” in terms of success. Being fit and healthy, having a nice home, a great job, and keeping your kids active – that’s all doing.

As a result, doing takes priority, squeezing out your chance of being. Personally, I am driven to be productive. This was instilled by my father who thought I should be doing something. Take steps. Create something. Don’t just laze around and certainly no sleeping late!

So for me, doing became the way. The way to make something of myself. The way to get attention and praise. Now, if a weekend goes by and I don’t do anything, I feel unsatisfied and sad that the time went by and I have nothing to show for it.

Times Are Changing

However, times are changing for me. It seems I’m coming to a great shift in my life, from a life of doing to place of being. This is what my guides are asking of me. They say it’s time. More than time.

At first, I felt really sad about this. It’s hard to understand. What does it mean if I don’t do anything? What will I say when people ask me, “What have you been doing?”

Well, I’m still producing my podcast. Check. It’s the time of year for gardening. Check. I’m trying some new recipes for salads and summer meals. Check. Maybe I’ll paint again like last summer.

Being Is Unfamiliar

But it feels funny, off, and unfamiliar. As a human being vs. human doing, I will no longer be marketing my business. If people request readings or bioenergetic clearings, I’ll be  happy to do them. But the days of marketing myself have come to a close after a long, long time.

Initially, I felt a loss. I felt sad and wondered how I’ll get through what spirit is asking of me. Then I got an incredible message from my guides with a completely different perspective after I’d been stewing for several days.
