Living in Alignment - The Path to Fulfilment
You may hear the term alignment and probably understand the concept but how does that transfer into reality? into real life?
Its possible to recognise when we are out of alignment - for example being asked to do something that goes against our principles may illicit a feeling of aversion and/or discomfort in our physical body, a sense of unease..
The way to find your sense of alignment is connecting your principles to how you feel when you are honouring them. Firstly become familiar with how alignment feels in your body, followed by getting clarity on what those principle or core values are now. Then you can anchor that even more deeply with energetic practices.
Reclaiming Your Core Values
A Path to Fulfilment and Alignment
Values shape every decision, action, and belief we hold, yet many people move through life without consciously identifying them. When values remain unexamined, it’s easy to feel lost, misaligned, or stuck in cycles of burnout and dissatisfaction. Whether in business or personal life, understanding and living by your core values is essential for clarity, fulfilment, and success.
Why Values Matter
Values act as an internal compass, guiding choices and behaviour. Neuroscience shows that when actions align with values, the brain experiences greater coherence, reducing stress and increasing motivation. Research in positive psychology suggests that values-driven individuals experience higher levels of well-being, purpose, and resilience.
From an energetic perspective, living in alignment with values creates harmony in the biofield - the electromagnetic field surrounding and interpenetrating the body. When values are ignored or compromised, this field can become fragmented, leading to mental fog, indecision, and exhaustion.
In business, values influence leadership, culture, and decision-making. Companies rooted in strong, authentic values tend to cultivate trust, loyalty, and long-term success. Leaders who embody their values inspire teams, attract aligned opportunities, and navigate challenges with clarity.
Finding Your Core Values
Discovering personal values requires self-inquiry and reflection. One way to begin is by noticing moments of deep satisfaction or frustration. The experiences that bring joy and meaning often align with values, while situations that trigger resentment or unease may indicate values being compromised.
Journaling prompts can help clarify values
What moments in life have felt the most fulfilling?
When have you felt the most inauthentic or disconnected?
What qualities do you admire in others?
What guiding principles influence your decisions?
Another approach is value mapping, a process of identifying, refining, and prioritising values. This involves listing potential values, grouping similar ones, and distilling them into core themes that feel most essential.
Values Mapping - A Reflective Practice
Set the Stage
Find a quiet, comfortable space where you can reflect without distraction. Bring a journal, pen, and perhaps calming music or a candle to create an intentional atmosphere.
Ground Yourself
Close your eyes, take several slow deep breaths, and focus on your body. Notice any areas of tension, ease, or energy. This helps you drop into the present moment and connect to your inner wisdom.
Somatic Practices to help you Align with Core Values
Values don’t just exist in the mind - they are embodied experiences. Tuning into the body and biofield can help reinforce alignment.
Somatic Awareness Practice
Now you’ve found your quiet space bring to mind a time when you felt deeply fulfilled. Notice the sensations in your body - perhaps a sense of expansion in the chest, warmth in the belly, or lightness in the limbs. find your physical experience that is a direct reflection of alignment with your values.
Now recall a moment when you felt out of integrity. Be careful not to revisit a strongly traumatic experience. Observe where tension, contraction, or unease arises. These signals provide insight into when your values may have been compromised.
By regularly checking in with the body, it becomes easier to recognise whether choices align with core values or not.
Now go back to previous experiences that felt deeply fulfilling, when you where most happy, they can be simple. Write down words that come up that feel important, let yourself flow. You want about 10 - 15 words.
Narrow these words down to 5 main ones that resonate with your core values, that are most important to you. Now with the next step take yourself to the future and
Ask the Core Question
Reflect on the question “What would a successful day feel like in my body?”
Visualise your ideal day as if you’re already living it.
Notice what emotions arise (e.g., joy, peace, fulfilment) and where those feelings show up in your body.
Identify Core Values
From your reflection, look back on your words and write down any more words or phrases that resonate with your experience. These might include values such as freedom, fairness, creativity, connection, or impact.
Map Your Goals to Your Values
Create a simple map that connects each core value to a specific goal or priority in your life or business. For example:
Value Freedom
Goal: Build a flexible work schedule.
Value Connection
Goal: Spend uninterrupted time with loved ones each week.
Body Check-In
As you map your values to goals, notice how your body feels. If you feel tension or resistance, revisit the goal and adjust it until it feels aligned with ease and joy.
To deepen this add another layer
Energetic Value Anchoring
Close your eyes and say your most important core value out loud, visualise a golden thread extending from your heart, connecting to the essence of your most important value. With each inhale, imagine drawing that energy into your body, and into the field around your body reinforcing its presence in your daily life. With each exhale, release any tension, doubt or misalignment.
Practices like these strengthen the energetic connection to values, bringing the sound frequency of the word into the frequency of your biofield making your core values more tangible and actionable.
Living in Alignment is The Path to Fulfilment
Once values are clear, integrating them into daily life is essential. Decision-making becomes easier when guided by a strong internal framework. Relationships deepen when built on shared values. Work becomes more meaningful when it reflects personal truth.
Fulfilment doesn’t come from external achievements alone - it arises from living in harmony with what truly matters.
By reclaiming your values, you reclaim yourself.
