Born with a Gift: Live Your Life through Your Gift

by Sasha Brisk

Overview

Born with a Gift has been channelled through spirit by new age author, clairvoyant, and intuitive counsellor Sasha Brisk.

By using psychic abilities that are naturally with us in each lifetime, you can gain a focus of change in enlightenment in human existence. In this guide, Brisk demonstrates how to tune in to your own spiritual gifts, enhance your connection with the universal realm, and become more aware of who you really are.

Through messages in dreams and physical ghost appearances during the conscious state, you can learn how to connect with deceased loved ones and angel guides.

Unexplained shifts of consciousness, such as premonitions and visions of future events, can provide our present moment with clear direction of what could happen next. When you know what to look for, premonitions can reveal further truth about unresolved issues in your relationships, career, and family.

The universe is unconditionally supportive and answering to your prayers, once you know how to manifest your thoughts into reality. An enhanced awareness of your own natural gifts can help you to move through life empowered, aware, and refreshed.

Chapter One

The Gifts inside Us

A gift denied is an expression of rejection and hate; a gift respected is a gift used wisely.

This book is a dialogue channelled from the spirit world that will allow you to embark on a journey into understanding. It is all about the gifts we are all born with and how you can intuitively use them to help and support yourself. These gifts can assist in overcoming any obstacles in life—both physical and emotional—that you face. It is no coincidence that you have been drawn to read this; there is no chance that this was a fluke. For,inthisworld,everythinghappensforareason,andatthistime,youwere meant to pick this book up. You were meant to read about the gifts you were born with and learn how to tap into them through your divine power.

Are you born with a gift? What are these gifts?

Spiritual gifts are natural abilities we are born with that allow us to perform specific tasks beyond the realm of normal, human skills. Do you ever lose these abilities? No, you just subconsciously put them aside for a while. Somewhere along the way, the soul says, "Hey, I can do this; I just have to convince the conscious mind of it." These gifts are universally and intrinsically connected through light and energy. They are the most magical gifts that anyone could experience. They provide us with the most pure and unconditional love, strength, prosperity, abundance, peace, wisdom, happiness, joy—and so much more. We need only be aware of what the gifts are, where they are from, when they are around us, and how the universe communicates them to us. These gifts we are all born with connect with our spirit and human energy, they surely know how to be supportive and guiding when we need them to be. They draw attention to our deepest fears and help us grow stronger with a better understanding of who we are in this lifetime. They not only change our lives for the better, but also they permanently make impressions on us once we are aware of them—and they continue to support our deepest wishes and most creative dreams throughout life.

No matter what happens in life, these gifts are always among us—we just need to be aware of these amazing gifts. We are all born with the ability to use these tools, to tune in to ourselves and our spirit within. We can move through any obstacle life throws at us with these gifts. We have unlimited universal energy support—remember that. Spiritual awareness, intuition and tuning in to our universal energy (within our human body) are the gifts of life, the gifts that we all question. Are they real? Do they exist? What is universal energy, and how can we use it to pull ourselves through any obstacle in life (within ourselves, others, or just around us)? Energy is a tool we need to be aware of—we need to be synchronized with it and in tune with it. If you understand what it is, you will know that we are all universal energy—we always have been and always will be. Once we have mastered this understanding, anything is possible. Anything can be achieved when you put your heart and soul into it. First you must harness the power of your mind and your thoughts, and then you must put those thoughts into action.

Universal energy is simply energy. It cures illness and disease with hope and positive thinking. We just need to act on our intuition—not our thoughts—and hope and positivity will flow. We always make the right decision when we follow our hearts. Learning to communicate with universal energy saves lives and teaches us the most important lessons in life. Universal energy shares unconditional love and never asks for anything in return. It is absolutely divine,ouruniversalMotherNatureenergythatlivesinallofus—ourspirit. We can help ourselves and others just by practicing what is and what isn't in life. And the law of attraction can help us achieve our goals and dreams in life. By reading this book, you will not only be able to distinguish yourself as a loving spirit living a human experience on Earth, but you will also learn how to tune in to your higher self. You will understand the difference between your ego and your higher self, and you will learn to use your gifts to overcome all obstacles in life. You will learn how to let go of any self-inflicted illnesses that has affected you. When we learn more about our gifts, we learn how to be intuitive and connect within ourselves. We learn how to give an answer by just knowing the answer (without having to think about it). Some people are unaware of which senses their spirit is more in tune with in our universe. It is our purpose to increase our awareness about the gifts we are all born with and to use them to become happier people.

All you have ever asked for in life, all the answers you seek, are found in this book. Inside, you will find information on the gifts of life and everything you will ever need to be happy (without the desire to receive support from others). We have only one body, one soul, so why not use them both to achieve the best, most efficient, and most effective outcome?

As an author, I have read many books, listened to many CDs, and watched many DVDs. I have compiled all the information that has helped me pull through life (from a very young age) in this book for all to read. I believe that, rather than read ten books on ten different subjects in order to become moreawareofsomethingyouarealreadygoodatpsychicallyandintuitively, it is better to read about all of those gifts in one book. You will also be able to learn how to increase your awareness further by learning how to tune in to yourself and your intuition.

Affirmations are another way to alter your conscious thoughts. In time, they become your actions, and become your life. They are the easiest way to overcome anything you wish to change (through repetitive, conscious thoughts). Throughout this book, you will have the opportunity to use these words to improve your life and guide you through anything you need help with—or anything you wish to improve.

You will have the opportunity to access the resources at the end of this book to understand your life's purpose. These resources will guide you along the journey to become the person you wish to be. This book is not for anyone who lives by his or her friends and follows the herd; rather, it is for the one everyone else follows. It is for those who wish to say, "I am always vibrant with life, full of ideas, and confident about who I am and my role in life. My journey is successful; I know it will work out because I have faith and believe in myself. I love myself and I love others—equally and with respect. I unconditionally support and give support to myself and my loved ones."

"Life does not happen to us, it happens from us." ~ Mike Wickett

You want to be the light that everyone is drawn to because you stand out from the rest. You are unique, and your energy is magnificent, pure, and positive. You are stronger after the experiences you have had in this lifetime. You continue to grow throughout your life, experiencing many different emotions: jealousy, anger, hatred, unhappiness, loneliness, and fear. You are the star that chooses to be brighter, not the one that falls; you are the one others make wishes on for themselves. We want to make them direct their wishes at you, and we want you to direct your wishes at them. You understand that when you have one of those dark days, the next day will be brighter—you just know. A good night's rest and some fresh water help to replenish the body and centre the spirit. So, when the morning comes, you awaken relaxed and more vibrant than you felt the night before. You master this technique when you accept love—loving yourself before you love others. Until you can affirm this out loud, there is work to do. We must lookafterourselves,careforourselves,andputourhealthfirstbylisteningto what our bodies need. We must listen to our thoughts and feelings to enable us to heal the body naturally, without the need to binge on things such as sex, alcohol, and drugs. Otherwise, we simply create masks that distract us from who we really are and who we really want to be in life. After reaching a happier place in our lives, it is everyone's purpose in life to teach others what he or she has learnt, to make wishes for them, to support them in their goals and dreams, and to watch the world unfold into a brighter, lighter, and less destructive place.

The moment we discover that real treasure lies within us, we will have an open heart, a generous heart, and a heart that is able to share. Today, this materialistic world is made up of so much stuff. That stuff cannot be called love; it is called ego. We all live with desires and have an attitude that is selfish. We want money and status. It's as if love, happiness, companionship, and prosperity were never thought to be missing in one's life. Instead, our emotions create the desire for that which will not move us forward in life. We create our life's purpose, but we also create an ego that only pushes us back. I need the youth of today to be aware of their individual actions and the thoughts they create in this universe and their life's journeys. Your soul is talking to you; be open and listen. I feel that, by loving who you are and what you have, you can rediscover, remember, and recreate who you really are. And by reaching out to those necessities, we can all start to be at peace with ourselves in the world. I believe we are all born with gifts and need to learn to communicate with our soul more than our body. Love yourself and you will love others—and the world will be a better place for all.

So what are these gifts we are talking about?

These gifts are the gifts that others are sceptical about. They ask you for proof because they have never allowed themselves to experience such a wonderful thing—but we all have the ability to use these gifts. These gifts allow all of us to feel the spiritual realm within us, the ability to share with others an amazing energy. Also, they allow us to know that all will be okay if we just keep an open mind. These gifts include awareness, intuition, having encounters with the paranormal, and reception of information from our spirit guides. Plus, the gifts permit us to connect with other peoples' energy fields (auras and vibes) to help guide them through life. Beyond that, the gifts include learning techniques to heal and balance emotions through meditative exercises, premonitions, and learning how to journal experiences of subconscious and conscious states of awareness.

Many people today—our friends and family—continually ask us for help in their day-to-day lives. They ask for advice and guidance on a situation, but they could easily have answered the question for themselves. Most people are only after second opinions; they have already made up their minds, they just require that last little bit of reassurance. However, their answers are normally made up from their mind, not their heart. Thus, they are not set on the final decision. We tend to get distracted by what's best, not what's right or wrong. We can become distracted by the influence of others (encouraging us to be a certain way or to be a certain person that we are not). It is a shame that society has become distracted: our lives are based on the concept of having more of something rather than giving more of something. If we can understand why we wish to have more of something, it becomes obvious that it is greed and selfishness—not emotions that we seek more of. Seeking happiness is the key to success, but not by having more of a worldly thing such as money or high status in a career. To have happiness is to be balanced with love, knowing that you have infinite support from the people you love or the universe you are living in. We need to learn to float through life knowing that there is infinite help and support from the universal energy in us and around us. When you master this, you will never fear anything ever again, and you will learn to thrive by helping and supporting others.

In today's society, there is a quickening of time. Technology is improving, and time is the general excuse for everyone. What about time for us? What ever happened to walking in nature, enjoying the sunshine, swimming in your favourite creek or dam, and playing with your pets? Can you remember the last time you visited your family and laughed with them? While we think about these answers, realize that these activities should be at the top of your to-do list. Without the support of your family, friends, and the universe, you will not achieve the awareness we all once had, many lifetimes ago. Many people have forgotten what we truly are. As a spirit living a human experience, we must balance our emotions and connect within to ensure our livesarelivedinthehappiestpossibleway,withoutstressandanxietyandall the other problems that accompany these moods that stem from ego.

By tuning in to our spirit through simple exercises, we can practice the way we communicate with the universe. It is easy to submit a thought or action into the universe, but it's harder to be aware of receiving something back. If you are not open minded, aware of your surroundings, and confident that thereismoretolifethantheeyecansee,youwillattractthesemessagesfrom the universe towards yourself.

Many people in this society grow old and unhappy. Only later do they realize that they have wasted their lives. Unfortunately, these people were not taught about life. They were not taught that there is more to life than alcohol, drugs, and gambling problems. They were not taught that they have chosen to live this life unhappily—and that is selfish. We must accept that our humanbody isn't just a piece of meat to be abused and used; it is an emotional, sensitive spirit that is affected by feelings and thoughts. I believe we need to support each other by being open and willing to listen to everyone who requires help. A simple message can change someone's life. If people choose not to change themselves, at least we will have tried—and that is all that matters.

If this is you—the person who has given up on life—then know this: there is more to life than what you are going through. And while you are still breathing, it's not too late to change. By believing and having faith that there is more to life, you are taking the first step to becoming a better person. And immediately, you will start to feel good. So how do we start to feel good? Through self-inquiry—asking and always finding new solutions to everything we have ever wondered.

Ask yourself this: have you ever seen a spirit? Have you ever seen a person's aura appear in colour? Have you ever seen the furniture move (but nobody moved it)? Have you ever seen certain numbers such as 22.22 appear over and over again on a daily (or hourly) basis? Have you ever heard the whispering of your name in one ear, but no one was there to call out to you? Have you ever heard a song play that you were just singing in your mind? Have you ever been tickled on the forehead and opened your eyes only to discover that no one was there? Have you ever felt water flicked onto you but there was no sprinkler or tap nearby? Have you ever tasted your neighbour's cigarette (the one he smoked every day) after his passing?

These signs are gifts we were all born with, confirmations that we are aware of all that is and all that is not in this world. What do you believe in? What do you do not believe in? Have you experienced all that you ever wanted to experience in this lifetime? We are all born with gifts—this has always been true. We all know of someone (if it's not ourselves) who has shared experiences that may have happened by chance or coincidence. We all may have had an encounter with a force of energy or a supernatural being, a ghost or a moving object. We are not alone and we never have been. There is more to life than the human eye can see, and we must follow that which we believe in, and that which we have always believed in and been taught by our family and ancestors.

We are all born with gifts, and we are all psychic mediums. Some of us have the ability to communicate to and from the spiritual side, and some of us can only communicate in one direction. If you are reading this and believe that none of this is true, think again. Think about what is going on in your life right now or, even better, what is going through your mind right now? Think about some of these questions: what happened this morning? Where did you go and how well did you manage it? What do you have to do after you finish reading this book? Are you completely in-tune with this book, or are you distracted by other things? Are you completely happy? If you are not (even if it is just slightly), then know that you have an energy block and are not allowing any energy to flow through you.

Spirit is everything living and non-living, which is made of matter compressed or spread out. Blocks within us stop us from opening up to possibilities and opportunities in life. By allowing these blocks to disappear, you are allowing yourself to be more open-minded about life. When you learn to master this process, observe how your life starts to change for the better. You will start to receive little messages and start to question them. Remember that everything happens for a reason in life; all of life is a product of choice and nothing happens by coincidence or chance. There is no reason to be afraid of receiving messages from the universe or any other spiritual source.
