Numerology Lesson Six - The Expression

In Numerology Lesson Five we discussed the Birth Day and the knowledge found within it. This lesson reveals the information found within the Expression vibration. In reviewing Numerology Lesson Three, The Core Concept, we found that purpose and fulfillment lie within the Expression vibration.

As discussed previously, the name given at birth shares a wonderful story. The name contains potential direction and points to qualities you can cultivate during your life. By paying attention to this vibration, you will realize a wonderful opportunity and a divine promise. When embracing the qualities found here, you may find that your soul adds to its experience, knowledge, and growth as you continue with your soul's attainment.

We feel the Expression points to purpose. Sometimes people are more aware of other core parts during the first stages of their life. As they become comfortable with their other core parts and find ways to balance them, their Expression becomes more evident. As people mature, the destiny actually transforms (but we'll leave that to one of your future lessons!). As the Expression becomes more integrated it will deepen the connection with other parts. It is as if the other parts are eager to join in and assist in helping attain life purpose.

To discover what your Expression vibration is refer to Numerology Lesson Two to find the numerical value of each letter. You have practiced this skill already by working with the first name. In calculating the Expression number, always use the full name as it appears on the birth certificate. This is the chosen name and it contains a blueprint, so to speak. Do not include in your calculations any designations such as 'Sr.' or 'Jr.' For those who were adopted, if they can go back and find the original birth certificate name, use that. If that isn't possible, then use the name the adopted parents chose.

Our true imprint lies within the name as it appeared on the birth certificate. However, if we change our names, we do add the qualities of name changes. The changed name overlaps, so in cases where the birth certificate name isn't available, valuable information can still be found in our first remembered full name.

Let's begin with a specific example. We'll be using the name 'Barbara Ann Kelly'. The calculation is as follows:
 

Here we find an individual with an Expression vibration of 11/2. We now know that as life brings experiences she will learn about the quality of the 2 and how it may bring her opportunity. As she approaches life with this in mind she may attract ways to find more fulfillment and life purpose.

As we discussed in Numerology Lesson One, the 11/2 is a master number and suggests an old soul vibration. The 11 attracts opportunity as a deepening of spiritual connection, which desires to illuminate its surroundings. The 2 contains qualities of kindness and friendship. It wishes to bring peace and balance to its surroundings. It is a vibration of a diplomatic nature and adds light to any subject. It enjoys helping others and carries much feeling within it. Now we can get a sense of how Barbara may attain direction and begin to find fulfillment and life purpose. By engaging in experiences that allow her to explore these qualities, she will begin to attract opportunities. As she does this, her other core parts will engage their qualities to assist her in attainment.

If you like, take a moment right now and intuit or imagine what kinds of environments and experiences Barbara may attract to find opportunity.

Some examples that we came up with are as follows:

	Environments where she could help and assist others
	Environments which embrace spiritual connectedness
	Places where her kindness and caring could be of benefit
	Facilitating as a mediator or assisting with diplomatic approaches
	Working with design and balance which assists others in feeling better about themselves

Are you getting the idea?

Now let's go back to previous lessons and refresh our memories. The individual nature within her Life Path Lesson Four would of course be present. It would point us to tools and assets within her. In addition, the qualities within her Birth Day Lesson Five will flavor the ways in which she expresses herself.

In a future lesson, we will give more guidance in how to synthesize these various vibrations. If you feel a little overwhelmed in the beginning, rest assured that it gets easier as you continue to learn the fundamentals of Numerology.
