Do you believe in your Soul?

I was astonished when a friend of mine who attends church said that she wasn’t sure her soul actually existed. It gave me pause for thought as I believe as well as having a physical body, our souls are an integral part of our consciousness.

Have you ever seen someone who seems to have a sense of themselves and their own personal power?

They appear grounded and have a gentle and quiet spirit, who allows others to be and to become whatever they choose for themselves without judging them. This is because they are connected to their soul and their spirituality.

I believe it is very simple really: our soul is an expression or sparks of the loving Universal Energy Source from which we are all created. We all have access to this loving energy and its wisdom by having a soul.

We then have access to the guiding light behind creation which then makes us co-creators of our world! The more we focus on and learn about and use our soul’s energy, the more it will become part of our consciousness and the more benefits can be derived from this awareness.

This process will take us to a refined state where we can enjoy deeper, more meaningful and loving lives because Love is this guiding force of the Universal Source. If we can see that the whole world is made up of this loving energy flow, then once we acknowledge it and purposely re-connect with our Universal Energy Source through our soul, then life can flow more easily.

It is the energy that powers all life: the hidden spiritual truths and power.

In my meditation channel on YouTube called ‘Soul Growth Meditations‘ I have a meditation called ‘Awareness of your Soul’ which you may find useful as well as the guided visualisation below.

Of course, life brings with it many difficult challenges however I feel that the reason for this is for our souls to learn and grow which to me is the whole point of being on our Earthly pathway. I also believe that we are here to enjoy all the amazing things that are on offer to us too.

It has been said that the first rule of occult learning is: ‘Know yourself and there is nothing left to seek’.

I believe that if we do not know or understand ourselves, and are not connected with our souls, then coping with our external world can be more challenging. We may feel a sense of loss or we do not feel fulfilled in some way despite perhaps building a successful life otherwise.

Therefore, if we can understand ourselves and can interpret our world better then we can learn and become wiser. This self knowledge can become wisdom if only we acknowledge and learn from it.

We can then be co-creators of our world bringing much more into our lives if we are conscious of our ability to co-ordinate matters by being aware of and using our soul’s wisdom to help us and accepting ourselves as powerful spiritual beings.

We can be empowered, feel loved and have more happiness in our lives through having our spiritual connections restored. We are loved unconditionally by our soul and if we are aware of that and love ourselves too, then others will also love us.

The following quotes are from one of my presentations about spiritual re connection:

‘Rediscover your soul energy which, once found, will give you the core of silent, inner peace’.

‘The more contact you have with your soul, the better able you are to use its gifts’.

Of course, hardships and difficulties through life may make us feel detached from our own spirituality.

If we ignore or do not know about our own spirituality, it is possible that our soul may manifest addictions and perhaps depression or anger, in order to draw our attention to the fact that something is wrong in our lives and that we need to change our viewpoint and accept spiritual help.

Without a sense of our spirituality, we may look outside of ourselves in the external world for power to give us a sense of worth. For example, without realising it, having money or being defined by our work, authority or title may give us a sense of our worth, however, if we lose this definition of ourselves through our outer life, we can become lost.

Therefore, we need to come back to the spiritual power of our soul to give us our security and our peace. If we can acknowledge our souls and look for the wisdom that is already inherent in us, then we are coming to spiritual awareness again.

This leads me onto another question: Are you giving your personal power and spiritual energy connection away and if so, to whom or what?

Below is a guided visualisation of how we can reclaim our power if, without realising it, we have lost some or all of it through challenges, or we have defined our power by external means.

You could ask someone to read this to you, or record it or read it yourself taking a moment after each part to visualise the journey.

Guided Visualisation:

To start, we ask to be surrounded by love and protection of the spiritual realm, our soul and our guides.

The intention here is to reclaim all aspects of ourselves from the past, from past lives, from anywhere in time and space be returned to us on the mental, emotional, physical and material levels.

Please imagine a beautiful place, a seashore, garden or outside in nature, whatever brings a sense of peace and relaxation.

Breathe in deeply and gently release the air through your mouth. Feel yourself relaxing more and more.

Now, starting with the mental level, we are thinking about our creativity, mental power, wisdom and knowledge, communication and inspiration.

We can say or send out a thought to the Universe that all aspects of these mental abilities, named above, are now returned to us from the past, past lives, anywhere in time and space, cleansed of any negatively and charged with the loving light energy of our soul.

Take a moment to feel the lovely soft energy flowing back through the third eye situated just above the eyebrows.

* * *

Next, on the emotional level, we are asking that all our energy from all time and space, past and present lives, that is love, compassion, and healing be returned to us through our soul, energised and cleansed of negativity.

We set the intention that all aspects of ourselves representing our capability to love and be loved, our empathic and intuitive selves, our mother and child selves all be returned to us with the blessing of our soul.

Ask that all entanglements from fear or feelings of rejection or abandonment be released and cleansed now through the love of our soul.

Now take a moment to notice how this flowing energy feels returning to the Heart chakra.

* * *

Moving onto the physical level, we now set the intention that the energy of our healthy, strong self, our motivation, confidence, ambition, sexuality and all aspects of us that hold our power, strength, and passion now be returned to us from the past, past lives, from anywhere in time and space cleansed through the blessing of our soul.

Notice and sense this lovely warm energy returning into the solar plexus chakra.

* * *

Finally, moving to the material level, we set the intention that we call back to ourselves all aspects of us that are patient, loyal, sound and secure through the love and healing of our soul, free of any negativity.

All aspects of ourselves from this and other lifetimes that hold the power of abundance, security and well being are now returned to us. Ask that any negative entanglements with fear or lack are released.

Sense this transformation happening through the love of our soul. Notice this strong energy returning through the root chakra at the base of the spine.

When you are ready, ask for the guidance of your soul to create a path to health, abundance, inspiration, love and courage. Invite in the presence of your future empowered self.

* * *

Notice how your whole being feels to have your energy called back. See if there are any symbols, images, scenes or words come to you now. If you do not see or feel anything, do not worry as these may appear to you in the coming days.

There is no need now to relive old scenes or replay old conversations as all negatively from past circumstances have been cleansed for you and now you can ask that new opportunities are created for you now and in the future.

If you feel responsible still for difficult situations in the past you can think about forgiving yourself for making the choices you did, as you didn’t know any better at the time. Also to forgive yourself your past behaviours, for giving away your power, picking up survival patterns to help you cope at the time and for not being who you needed to be.

There is no need for any feelings of guilt as you were only doing the best you could at the time.

Now it is time to come back to the room, being aware of your body and the world around you.

If a feeling of being light headed is apparent, have a drink of water and take a walk around to become more grounded.

* * *

It is important to remember that we are here to enjoy ourselves and have fun too. Gratitude for what you have and being open to miracles will bless our journey here even further.

We all have equal abundance as we are all powerful, spiritual beings here with multiple opportunities.

I hope this journey will enhance your life, enjoy.
