Realigning with Your Soul Purpose

Realigning with Your Soul Purpose

by Margaret Ann Lembo, author of Gemstone Guardians Cards and Your Soul Purpose and many other books and decks

At the time I am writing this, we are in the midst of the Global Pandemic 2020. The time has come for the ultimate realignment of humanity.

Deeper Alignment with Your Soul Purpose

Collectively and individually, change must occur. We must join together to overcome this invisible energy that overwhelms and creates chaos. Each and every one of us must individually go within and step away from the collective chaos that is currently occurring as well as the personal chaos that created negative experiences you were living prior to this pandemic. We must realign.

Through this realignment you have an opportunity to uncover or go deeper into your Soul Purpose. Through self-observation and contemplation, you are able to awaken and become the highest version of yourself. Through prayer and meditation, you are better able activate kindness, compassion, and more love for yourself and others. Every moment opens to a new reality, and we—you and I—decide what that reality will be.

To realign we must change. I must change. You must change. And, collectively, we must change our way of being in the world and return to love, kindness, compassion, tolerance, and acceptance. It starts and ends with each individual. You bring talents, wisdom, and knowledge from many lives and procure more understanding, traits, and blessings during this life.

During the imposed pause on our lives we are being called to make a shift in our connection with the Divine and with each other. For the ultimate realignment of humanity to take place requires that we spend time in quiet contemplation to observe ourselves ~ to review our behaviors toward self, loved ones, and strangers. It is also a perfect opportunity to look into your various qualities and facets as a new reality unfolds.

You have the opportunity to continue to think outside the box, or better yet, to think as if there is no box. Decide to allow out-of-the-ordinary concepts to formulate and percolate in your consciousness. Use your life experiences to let your brain configure and reconfigure ideas to allow for your Soul Purpose to be revealed or enlivened. Awaken and embrace what you know to be your truth. Allow it to be the strong foundation on which you build the pathway to your Soul Purpose and let shining gemstones be your allies on the journey.

The return to personal truth

Some people know their purpose. Others tell themselves they don’t know what they are supposed to be doing, and then they believe this story. This becomes a perceived block to their life’s work. Notice that I said perceived block. Everything is a perception—an understanding or interpretation of a given reality through a personal filter. These filters are created based on a culmination of life experiences.

If you are unsure, here’s a clue: Your life’s work is what you love to do and often have experienced the most. You’ve most likely been “training” for your Soul Purpose your whole life. When you recognize you are actually well trained for this work, it takes the fear out of the equation, boosts your self-confidence, and catapults you into the reason you came to this planet in this incarnation.

With my newest deck, Gemstone Guardians Cards and Your Soul Purpose, you can delve into the eleven Soul Purpose archetypes with four life paths per archetype. Pull a card! Pull a series of cards to help you better understand yourself and other people’s life work. Let it help you to recognize how qualities from other lifetimes as well as those you garnered earlier in this lifetime play a role in your current and evolving path. Every person has a unique part in the community and through self-understanding and understanding others, peace and harmony become more prevalent.

A Sample Three-Card Spread

Shuffle the deck and pick three cards. When you place these cards in front of you, the first card is an indicator of how things may have happened in the past. The second card has some insights for you in the present moment and current situations. The third card brings ideas and inspiration for your future goals and intentions.

The Question: How can I use the energy of the current times to reevaluate my Soul Purpose and decide if something new is evolving for me?

The Cards: I shuffled the cards and these three cards came from the deck as follows (front and back shown for each card).

Protection Archetype – Philanthropist

When the Philanthropist and Rhodonite card comes into view, you are being called to create a strategy, do your research, find solutions, and lead the way to raise money to donate toward a good cause. Sometimes philanthropy takes the form of small donations to a friend or colleague in need of a little extra support to get them through a hard time. Rhodonite helps you restore balance. It is a good stone to support you after a period of loss or distress. It helps with the grief associated with challenging situations and offers comfort during times of heartache, sorrow, or unhappiness. This life path of a benefactor or a restorer provides the opportunity to increase personal abundance and financial security through altruistic actions.

Investigation Archetype – Journalist and Zebra Jasper

When the Journalist and Zebra Jasper card is pulled, use it as a reminder to not take everything at face value. Do your research and look deeper into the situation at hand. Spend the time it takes to clearly contemplate and thoroughly think through the matter. The solution will be revealed, but be sure you have all the information you need. It can also be a sign to write your thoughts in a journal. Writing is a key factor in uncovering information. Mental clarity is imperative. Use zebra jasper with the intention that you will gather, assess, and report your findings of events and issues without bias. Zebra jasper’s key phrase is “It’s black and white.” Use this supportive gemstone to amplify your ability to steer clear of gray areas and strictly report the facts. This is especially relevant and important during this Global Pandemic.

Entertainment Archetype – Comedian and Malachite     

When the Comedian and Malachite card come to the surface, use the swirling patterns of malachite to see the patterns of your life from different perspectives. When a repetitive pattern of yours is getting you down, use the comedic aspect of the situation to laugh at yourself in a loving, heart-centered way. To help you gain levity, look at the whirling configurations in the stone when you contemplate and observe yourself. Be your own comedian and let yourself lighten up! Recognize these patterns as learning experiences, and treasure the lessons learned. Choose patterns of love, compassion, and kindness going forward.

The Interpretation:

Contemplate, meditate, and write about how these three cards can bring you deeper awareness at this time.

Repeat the affirmation connected to both gemstone and the Soul Purpose aspect to help ground the insight and support you in achieving your goal. Make it your own. Use the whole affirmation or repeat the part that applies specifically to you. 

Contemplate both sides of all three cards. You can learn more about each card in the booklet that comes with the deck.

Love is the answer

It is simple. Love is the answer. Return to prayer. Return to contemplative thought. Return to meditation. Return to self-reflection. Return to dedicating your life to being a better person today than you were yesterday.
