What is a Soul Career?

A soul career is one where you put your time and energy into bringing products and services to the world that not only light up your soul but also bring positive change in people’s lives.

Your work is aligned with your values and supports you on every level, spiritually, mentally, physically, and financially. Often, a soul career is illuminating and helps other people shine too. There’s a great feeling of service and giving back that lights you up each and every day.

Where do you start?

If a soul career is so wonderful, why is it so hard to get there? You know, I think about this a lot. Much of my work in Reiki is about helping people move through where and why they get stuck and doing the energetic and emotional work of getting everything flowing.

Most of the time, we get stuck because of fears, vulnerabilities, and limiting beliefs. The work we do in Energetic Eight Business Coaching helps you clear any of this friction slowing you down.

Of course, there can be all kinds of physical world obstacles to living your dreams, too. But what I have found is that persistence, creativity, and learning to ask for help can clear or manage many of these issues. We are always working within limitations; the challenge is to see these limitations as creative challenges that will ultimately make the work better.

Using the Energetic Eight to Build your Soul Career

In Energetic Eight Coaching and the upcoming Energetic Eight Business School online course, you build your soul career using the blueprint of the chakras and the aura. The Energetic Eight is a process where you see what you are making as a being in its own right.

Your work has an energy and intelligence, as well as the aura and chakras. You spend time focusing on the needs of your work in each of these eight major areas so that the work can thrive, and so can you!

The Aura of your Soul Career

What if the idea for your soul career didn’t come from you but from Source energy? These ideas you get come from a greater need, a greater source of energy, this infinite wisdom that lives within all things. This divine intelligence knows what we’re capable of. It knows what we’re good at, and we will be given ideas, inspiration, and an urge to make, create, and share something unique, something that’s needed, and something that will help other people.

In the Aura step of the Energetic Eight program, you connect to that big energy and clarify it into an intention for your work. You get familiar with that motivating frequency, so you can always refer back to it. That way, you can be sure your choices are in harmony with why you got into this work in the first place.

Crown Chakra and Your Soul Path

The crown chakra is about spiritual connection. Your work is guided by the intelligence of the universe. At the crown step of the Energetic Eight, we spend time developing meditation practices to connect to this wisdom and guidance. You get an opportunity to clear your mind and also sync up with the Law of Attraction to let the Universe deliver its help.

You get clear on what your values are and what you believe to be true about your work. Free-writing and journalling are also amazing tools to help get the plan onto paper so it can make it into the world.

Third Eye Chakra – What is your Big Vision?

The third eye chakra is our center for intuition. Working with your intuition as you build your business is really important because then you are making soulful choices for your career.

In this step, you have a moment to do some long-range planning so you have a clear vision of where you’d like the work to go. Then, you tune into the baby steps through your guidance system so your actions align with your dream.

Throat Chakra – Your Soul Career’s Voice

The throat chakra is about how you talk about what you do. In this step in the Energetic Eight, we work to clear out any limiting beliefs or language. Talking about yourself and your work in the best light can sometimes be difficult, but it is necessary and honest. You are great at what you do! When you speak this truth, it manifests blessings both inner and outer.

When you honour your work with kind words, it helps you get your message out. You connect with your audience and customers in an easy, light, and natural way.

Writing and sharing can be nervy, but when you take the time to practice this skill, it helps people know that the work you’re doing and making is what they need.

Heart Chakra – Connection is the core of your Soul Career

The heart chakra is our center for love, connection, and empathy, which are all really important when you’re building something soulful.

Why do you love what you do? What’s the energy behind it? Where’s the joy? We want to make sure that we’re still having fun along the way and connecting to what you love and why you love the soulful work you do.

Vulnerability can arise in this step, so we take time in the Energetic Eight to take care of the normal feelings of shakiness that come up when you care so much. Vulnerability isn’t anything to be feared. It’s something to be expected. It’s also where all of the best bits of your work can live. If you can have patience and kindness for that vulnerable feeling, it’s much easier to flip into the courageous part of the heart.

The heart chakra of your soul career also gives you steadiness, so you can show up consistently for what you love to do. You have your all-in moment where you fully commit to your dream and give it your whole-heart.

Solar Plexus – Shining your Light

The solar plexus chakra is our center for confidence. It’s also about power, rules, and boundaries. This energy in the Energetic Eight helps you to set kind, wise limits about how you’re going to navigate your time and energy so everything stays in balance.

What’s okay? What’s not Okay? Boundaries are the love-container so you have sustainable energy for all the things you need to do. Being clear about these rules actually helps everyone relax and feel safe with you and your work.

The energy for all of the things you do has to come from somewhere. Here, we think about what your self-care plan is. How are you going to make sure that you receive adequate energy and self-care to sustain what you are making and sharing with the world?

Sacral Chakra – Creativity and Value

The sacral Chakra is connected to value and exchange of value. This is the step where you pay kind attention to the money part. Claiming your value and asking for what you’re worth is a really important part of living in a joyous balance for your soul career. It’s respectful for you to charge what you’re worth, but it also respects other people because people will pay money for the things that they value.

In the Energetic Eight, we work to clear out any limiting beliefs that you might have about money or your value. Your worthiness is often the biggest hindrance to making more money. I believe that soul careers are just as valuable as any other career.

Creativity is also a key part of the work here. YOur creative inspirations are a big part of the joyfulness and passion that keeps you in business. It also helps you connect with others and share your work.

Marketing is all about education and sharing. The approach here is about helping people find you and getting them the information they need to know if your product or service is right for them. It’s all about aligning your messaging with the energy of your work. We play with pictures and fonts and colours here too. Making things pretty!

Root Chakra – Your business foundation!

The root chakra is where we make everything real. In this stage of the Energetic Eight, we get that final push to bring things into the world. This is where we launch after building a solid foundation.  

This is where we plan out all the physical world objects and tools you might need. You also scope out locations and where your work is going to live in the world. The root chakra energy helps us with the structures or systems you need so that you can operate your business. It’s thinking about all those little tiny details and making sure they are still supporting the intention you set in the Aura stage.

Our roots make us feel safe. Here, we also think about caring for the people who interact with our work. Creating supportive communication plans and reassuring people once they’ve signed up or registered that they’ve landed in the right place, bringing in that sense of connection and community.

Taking Action for Your Soul Career

Okay now, it’s to move beyond the dreaming stage and start bringing your ideas into the world, whether it’s writing a book, launching a product, or creating a healing center.

If you’ve been sitting on inspiring ideas for too long, the Energetic Eight supports you to take the first step. Share this episode with someone who needs encouragement to start their soul career, and connect with Geneva for more resources and support.
