Excellence Reporter: Raven, what is the meaning of life?

Raven Keyes: I believe we are all encoded with a special mission we came into this life to fulfill – a mission we chose for ourselves long before we were ever born. As I see it, the meaning of life is to “remember” (or uncover) what that mission is, and to bravely put one’s feet on the path toward fulfilling it. The heart is the only guide we possess that remembers the truth of who we are and what we wish to accomplish as living beings. The heart is our North Star that will never lead us astray.

There are many ways to bring our mission into focus. For example, meditation can induce the necessary stillness in which we can access the imprint of goodness that resides at our core. Every one of us is imprinted with the love of the Universe from whence we came. We ARE that love and goodness, and we are here to share with others on this Earth the specific gifts we carry that live inside us.

Another way to remember is through receiving Reiki. I am a Medical Reiki Master and teacher. After 25 years of working with those who are seriously ill, I have witnessed first hand how the profound relaxation induced by Reiki can bring even a person facing illness into memory. My clients and I often discover that their dis-ease was brought on so they could stop and remember the meaning of their own life, and the mission they lost sight of during the challenges they faced just by living on this planet.

The world we currently live in does not always seem like a friendly place, so it really does require courage to put one’s feet on the chosen path to bring goodness and blessings to all living things. By asking our deepest Self and the divine love we came from for the courage and the wisdom we require, we can unlock the memory of why we are here and how to live a life of meaning.
