Hi Friend,
Feeling needed is the fifth emotional need of the soul, in our on-going exploration of the 10 Emotional Needs of the Soul.
When I was young, I was needed a lot. I am the oldest of six kids, and my mother was ill a lot of the time. So she depended upon me and my sister (next oldest in the family) to take care of the younger children.
I became very skilled at taking care of other people, and that lingered with me well in to my thirties.
Then I rebelled. I finally realized I wasn’t very good at taking care of myself. My life took a turn, and I became all about empowerment and self-care.

|
|
As I shared a couple of weeks ago, all the time I thought I was empowering others, I was actually giving away more of my time and energy to others than I could afford to give. The irony was that I was living out one of my greatest fears.
|
|
What I didn’t realize was that feeling needed is a necessary part of finding one's value and place in community.
|
|
Feeling needed gives us a sense of meaning and purpose.
It was some time before I finally understood the balance that allowed me to take care of myself and be appropriately needed.
Feeling needed, according to my elders, is typically developed between the ages of 7-13. In a healthy environment, this is when you discover that your talents are valued.
Your presence, and gifts, makes your community stronger and more complete.
You discover that your contributions matter and you are important to the whole. And if you are not involved, you are missed.
|
|
Your identity in community takes shape as you feel needed.
|
|
Without this sense of feeling needed, you might find yourself wondering why you are here, feeling superfluous, not being motivated to create, or feeling as though people constantly want something from you. You might feel as though people are always taking from you, or that you aren’t good enough for anything.
If you did not acquire a sense of meaning and purpose when you were younger, or you threw it all out, like I did, it can be quite a relief to realize you can discover how and why you are needed right now.

You can use the Holding meditation (available for free below) to Hold your feelings of separation until you can feel how needed and important you truly are.

After all, when you were conceived in the mind of the Divine, you were dreamed into being because you were needed for something the Divine wanted to experience through you.
Earth is the land of discovery. This is where we get to have the experience of remembering just how important and precious we are to Divine consciousness.
If you are not feeling needed, allow me to encourage you to take thoses feelings (or your desire to feel needed) into The Holding so you can discover your sacred purpose—on earth—and in the Universe.
Please share your own thoughts and experiences regarding being needed here:

Misa taught from the heart, connecting us to unseen worlds leading to the Divine. I gained a new sense of power and purpose. —J.N. |

By special request, the Recording of the Month is Misa’s Cancer and Mold recording.
This is the recording she created to address mold she found in her sinus passages. Subsequent research showed her that mold is at the root of some cancers.
I was diagnosed with 3 malignant spots on my lung... I started listening to Misa's Sound Medicine CD...I have been back [to the doctor] for 2 reviews now and I am still clear. I am still listening to the CD to maintain good lung health. I am sure the sound medicine was the source of my healing. —Anna Marie
Misa would say the true source of all healing is between you and the Divine, and it is great when healers and tools help us.
Be sure to share with friends and loved-ones, so together, we can help to end suffering.
