Gracious Quotient® FAQ
Quick answers to help you understand it’s transformative concepts.
This FAQ covers the key concepts from our book “Gracious Quotient.” Whether you’re new to these ideas or looking to deepen your understanding, you’ll find clear explanations of how graciousness can transform your relationship to yourself, others and and helps you connect with your soul’s true purpose.
What is the Gracious Quotient?
The Gracious Quotient® is a transformative soul-based gift that helps you understand your level of graciousness in any given moment. It’s designed to help you move from the limitations of compassion to the freedom of graciousness, allowing you to connect authentically with your soul and fulfill your true purpose. The Gracious Quotient operates on 10 levels, with level 10 representing the highest state of graciousness where your soul becomes most present.
When you’re operating at higher levels, you can offer your blessings freely, connect authentically, and see both yourself and others without judgment. The beauty is that you get to consciously choose what level you want to be at. Most of us naturally move up and down throughout the day, but awareness gives you the power to shift intentionally.
How is Gracious different from Compassion?
The difference between graciousness and compassion has completely transformed how we understand helping ourselves, others and the way we can connect with others. Compassion requires you to feel someone else’s pain and make judgments about their situation and you then determine the “right way” to help them based on your beliefs. While this seems caring, it can unintentionally take away people’s dignity because you’re essentially saying you know better than they do about their own life.
Graciousness works differently. It allows you to offer genuine support, love, and understanding without needing to take on others’ emotional state or decide what’s best for them. You can help someone while still respecting their sovereignty, their right to govern their own life, and make their own choices. This preserves everyone’s dignity and actually empowers both people in the interaction.
The freedom this creates is remarkable. You no longer need to understand someone else’s experience completely or stretch your imagination to figure out their situation. You can accept them exactly as they are, exactly where they are, while still offering meaningful support.
And, you get to do this for yourself. You get to actually accept yourself without judgement, shame or humiliation and as the perfect soul that you are.
How does my Soul fit into this?
Your soul is the Divine part of you. Your soul is an energetic form of knowing that contains wisdom about your past, present, and future. It connects you directly to the Divine Source, and your intuition is actually your soul whispering to you. Your soul contains your essence, your inner knowing, and your unique energy. Graciousness is something your soul does naturally when it has space to work. When you’re gracious, your soul can share its gifts (your blessings) with the world.
Your soul has three distinct parts: your essence (the truth of who you are), your knowing (that deep wisdom that sometimes surprises you with its clarity), and your pulse (the unique energetic rhythm others can sense when they’re around you).
Graciousness is actually a capability of your soul, not something your mind creates. When you operate from graciousness, your soul can fully express itself and work with your human side to do your intended work in the world. Your blessing are those unique gifts only you can offer. These blessings can flow naturally when your soul has the space and freedom to operate.
What is the Gracious Shell?
The Gracious Shell is an energetic boundary that surrounds and protects your soul. It expands and contracts based on your level of graciousness and the density around you. Within this shell, your soul pulsates with protection, love, connectedness, sovereignty, and positive power. The shell allows your soul to expand and bring forth your blessings while keeping outside influences from limiting what is rightfully yours to offer.
How do the 10 levels of the Gracious Quotient work?
The Gracious Quotient consists of 10 levels, with level 1 being the lowest and level 10 representing the highest state of graciousness. At higher levels, you experience greater freedom to connect, trust, and offer your blessings to yourself and others. You see yourself and others in the purest way possible. Most people naturally ebb and flow between different levels throughout their day, and the goal is to consciously choose to operate at higher levels. At a level 1, you will most likely exhibiting ill will towards others and even toward yourself.
What does Sovereignty mean?
Sovereignty means that you have the right to govern yourself, the complete and utter authority and independence over you and your soul. You have the right to remain just you, unto you, and you can decide what is within your best interest and your souls’ best interest. Every person has a right to sovereignty and without accepting your sovereignty, you will give up your power to others thus creating chaos everywhere you go. Sovereignty is a requirement to fulfilling your soul’s purpose.
How do you define Grace?
Grace is the natural state where your outward actions reflect your soul. It’s how you move through life with kindness, sovereignty and purity and where you bring blessings to yourself and others. Grace flows from your connection to the Divine and expresses itself through your authentic self. When you’re in grace, you’re free from the constraints that usually hold you back, and you can express who you truly are with certainty and intensity.
