There is a quiet ache that visits many of us at some point in life. A whisper in the bones, a restlessness in the chest, a subtle tug at the soul that asks: What am I truly here for? In a world brimming with distractions and expectations, finding your calling can feel like trying to hear your own heartbeat in the midst of a storm. But the truth is your calling has always been with you, curled like a seed deep within, waiting for the right conditions to bloom.
Tantra: The Sacred Pulse of Purpose
Tantra, in its true essence, is the weaving of the sacred into every fiber of existence. Rooted in the ancient Vedic wisdom, and as beautifully expounded by teachers like Dr. David Frawley, Tantra teaches us that our purpose isn’t separate from the divine it is divine.
Your calling is not outside of you it pulses through your senses, your longings, your cycles of expansion and contraction. Tantra doesn’t ask you to transcend your humanness, but to enter it fully. To feel the rawness of your desire, your grief, your wonder. These are not distractions from your purpose they are the path.
Through the Tantric lens, your calling is not a concept to be figured out, but an energy to be felt, courted, and surrendered to. It may come through as a flash of vision in meditation, or a slow, steady knowing that grows each time you say yes to what feels alive.
Somatics: Listening to the Body’s Knowing
Your body holds the map. It knows when you’re veering off your path. It stiffens, aches, numbs. And it knows when you are aligned it softens, expands, tingles with truth.
Somatics the language of the felt sense invites us to drop out of the mind and into the intelligence of the body. When we live from our head alone, we often chase purpose in abstract, exhausting ways. But when we return to our body, we remember I am already home.
Finding your calling through somatics means sensing into what brings you aliveness, breath, and presence. It means noticing when your spine rises with dignity, when your heart opens in trust, when your belly relaxes in relief. These are somatic breadcrumbs, guiding you back to your path.
The Ontological Lens: Who Are You Becoming?
Ontology, the study of being, asks us not what we do but who we are in the doing. It invites us to drop the masks we wear and ask a deeper question: What essence wants to express itself through me? This is not about chasing the perfect job or living someone else’s dream. This is about embodiment. About becoming more you.
In the ontological view, your calling isn’t a destination. It’s a becoming. A series of micro-moments where your presence aligns with your truth. It begins not with seeking, but with listening. Listening to the small voice inside that says, this feels right, or the one that quietly sighs, this isn’t me anymore.
A Healing Invitation
If you’ve been feeling lost, unfulfilled, or disconnected know that this too is part of the journey. Often, the forgetting precedes the remembering. The darkness before the dawn. The cocoon before the wings.
You are not behind. You are not broken. You are simply being called inward, to listen more deeply, to shed more fully, to become more truly you.
Take a breath. Feel your feet. Place a hand on your heart. Whisper: I am ready to remember.
And trust that the path will meet you where you are.
