Every time I teach, I have new insights. 

This time, it was when I spoke about one of my students in the recent Live the Life You Love program, who, during the course, realized that she wanted to be famous. 

I brought her as an example of feeling shame and guilt about wanting things we don’t consider spiritual enough. I explained that there is a reason why we want what we want and that our true honest desires were given to us to be fulfilled. 

This relates to balancing Sun Energy, but we are in Sagittarius season, and we want to balance Jupiter Energy. This is where my insight comes into play: while sharing my student’s story, I realized that it was more than shame and guilt that stood in her way. 

My student, like many others, felt that her desires were meant for someone else. It was for other people to become famous and fulfill their dreams; it wasn’t for her. The underlying belief that she, and many of us, hold is – I am not worthy of my desires. 

Jupiter rules our belief systems. That includes our religion, and our philosophical faith (what we believe in intellectually – which is not always what we live by – that goes under Neptune’s realm). Jupiter’s beliefs are thoughts that we have been thinking so often that they have turned into core beliefs about what is possible for us and what isn’t. 

Is it a coincidence that Jupiter is also the planet of optimism? Of course it isn’t! 

The universe wanted us to be optimistic, to have hope, to KNOW that we are worthy of our desires, because we are. Our dream fulfillment is our birthright. 

In his book, The Lion Roar, the controversial Tibetan Buddhist teacher, Chögyam Trungpa, said that “Through understanding the whole thing, we begin to trust our world, to realize that there is no such thing as a cosmic conspiracy. The world is a kind world, a rational world, there is no joke involved.”

If this quote seems familiar, it is because it is on my homepage. What I don’t mention on my homepage is that Trungpa said that this level of trust is one of the highest and most evolved stages of Vajrayana Buddhism, the tradition he and the Dalai Lama both belong to. 

While it’s hard to fully attain, there are some steps we can take to start embodying the belief that we are worthy of our desires. 

1. Awareness is half the solution. If you recognize and admit that you feel unworthy of your desires, that is a good starting point. Because you realize where you want to be, and you recognize the gap, it becomes a “workable situation” (another term Trungpa liked to use). 
2. Shifting from subconscious struggle. One of my dear clients told me that in her dreams, she constantly struggles. I can relate! Even though I live the life of my dreams, my subconscious is still stuck on my years of struggle. When we are in a struggle mindset, even if it’s only subconsciously, we don’t believe that the world is for us. This is why, before I go to bed, and whenever I wake up from a bad dream, I remind myself that I am worthy of my dream. I visualize the dreams I want to have. This helps me shift my subconscious from struggle to trust. 
3. Start asking for what you want. When you speak about your dreams, when you dare to ask for them, they become more accessible, and you start believing that they are feasible for you and you are worthy of achieving them. 

I hope these suggestions help you feel worthy of your dreams and that you are ready to start living your dreams in 2026. For this reason, I invite you to participate in From Desire to The Life You Love: A Planetary Journey. Balance your Planetary Energies and start living your soul’s promise. There are two different programs so that you can find what works best for you. 

And right now, there is a special early bird price that applies until the end of the day Saturday, December 13! 

I hope to meet you there and help you turn your dreams into reality. 

Much love,
Yael
