What is your Dharma (life Purpose)? This is one of the three soul questions that is ask going into meditation if you practice Deepak Chopra’s, Primordial Sound Meditation.
What is my life’s Dharma or purpose? This can be a hard question to ask and an even harder one to answer. It all seems so big, a life’s purpose. Yikes
Does it mean I have a purpose from the time I am born until the time I die? Is that purpose the same purpose my entire life? It just seems too big to even answer, as well as ask.
Lets break it down a little, instead of asking it for your entire life, simple ask, “What is my Dharma for this moment in time?” It seems much more manageable now if we focus on the here and now.
The easiest way I have found to begin to answer the question is to relate it to something I am comfortable with. Meaning, if you enjoy writing maybe you begin with an outline. Outline what you enjoy in life, what your goals are, or your love for yourself, your strengths. If you’re a scientific mind maybe you put your dreams, desire and goals into a chart or formula or graph. It really doesn’t matter what you start with, just start.
I prefer to think of it as an umbrella with raindrops streaming from the metal posts. In the umbrella is the main purpose. My main purpose is Healing, then in the raindrops are examples or ways in which I share healing. For example: 1 raindrop is Reiki, another hypnosis, another teacher, another listener, another Intuitive coach, another wellness coach, another meditation, and another yoga, etc.
If I want to break it down even further I could explain with feelings, emotions, or techniques I use. The possibilities are endless.
The main point is to find your life’s purpose, make it as broad or as specific as you want, just try not to limit yourself. You can always add or take away raindrops to fit where you are currently in life. Life changes and so does our life’s purpose from time to time.
For me, answering the question is all about giving my life importance, direction and it allows me to create me. My soul is filled with joy!
