So hi everyone and thank you for joining me.
I'm so grateful to share this perspective with you today.
So what if we explore today that every challenge that you faced,
Every difficult moment that you've lived through and every struggle that brought you to your knees,
What if all of this was chosen by your soul?
Not as a punishment,
But as a curriculum.
Not as suffering,
But as growth.
And this might sound impossible when you're in the middle of pain.
But let's explore a different way of seeing life today,
Through the eyes of your soul,
Which knows that you're not a human being having a spiritual experience,
But it's the other way around.
What if a soul having a human experience and a soul may have had a human experience before?
And from this perspective,
Challenges aren't mistakes or bad luck.
They are perfectly designed learning experiences that your soul chose because it wanted to grow,
Expand and experience certain kinds of love,
Wisdom and strength.
So find a comfortable position and let your eyes close gently.
We are now going to explore life through the lens of eternal wisdom and divine purpose.
So take a deep breath now and imagine yourself maybe floating above your life.
Imagine yourself as a third person.
What would that look like?
So I'm now lifting up and I'm seeing my own life from a higher perspective,
From a much broader,
Higher perspective of your eternal soul.
Just breathing and settling into this new space.
And from this perspective,
Your human life looks like a beautiful temporary experience.
It's like going to school or taking a journey to a foreign land or just playing in nature.
Playing a very meaningful and complex game.
Your soul,
In its infinite wisdom,
Looked at all possible human experiences and chose this particular life,
These specific challenges,
These exact circumstances because they offered the perfect curriculum for growth.
That it wanted to experience.
Just feel into this possibility.
None of this has to be your truth.
This is just an exploration.
I am now feeling into this possibility.
I am not a victim of random circumstances.
You are a soul who willingly chose this adventure and knowing it would be difficult but also brings incredibly valuable growth.
Now staying with the perspective,
Staying on the plane that we have opened right now,
Look around at the world from this soul's perspective and notice that every person that you see is also a soul having their own chosen human experience.
Everyone has their own curriculum.
Everyone has challenges.
Some souls chose to learn through relationships,
Others through health challenges,
Some chose to learn through abundance,
Some chose to learn through addictions,
Some chose to learn through scarcity.
There is no hierarchy in the soul curriculum.
Learning through illness is not less valuable than learning through success and learning through struggle is not less meaningful than learning through ease.
Every soul chose exactly what it needed for its own unique growth and your set of challenges and circumstances in life are not harder or easier than anyone else's.
They're just different,
Perfectly tailored to what your soul wanted to experience and learn.
Now to see the wisdom in your difficulties,
Bring to mind one of the most challenging experiences you may have lived through.
And instead of seeing it as something that happened to you,
Imagine seeing it as something your soul chose for you.
What did this experience teach you?
How did it change you?
What strengths did you discover you had?
What compassion did it awaken in your heart?
And what wisdom did it bring in your life?
Now often,
Our most difficult experiences become our greatest teachers.
They crack us open and the pain brings sometimes with time,
With healing,
Deeper love,
Resilience,
Priorities and more authentic ways of being.
And your soul in its unique wisdom knew that you would need these qualities and this strength at some other point in your journey.
So it chose those experiences that you would develop them,
Even though they might have been incredibly painful for your human self.
From your soul's perspective,
You're not defined by your challenges,
You are not your anxiety,
You're not your depression,
You're not your illness,
You're not your loss.
You are the eternal being experiencing these things for the purpose of growth.
And just like an actor playing a role isn't actually the character that they portray,
You are actually not your struggles.
You are the consciousness experiencing them learning from them and growing through them.
And this doesn't minimize your pain or make your challenges easier,
They are very real in human terms.
But from your soul's perspective,
They are still temporary experiences serving your eternal growth.
As you breathe now,
Feel yourself as this larger being,
This soul,
Who is having a human experience that includes both joy and sorrow,
Both ease and challenge,
Both light and shadow.
Now my mind might protest and say,
My soul wouldn't choose suffering if I had a choice I would choose an easy happy life.
But your soul knows something your human mind doesn't,
That growth may only happen through challenges,
Through learning to find love in the midst of difficulty.
A soul that only experienced ease would be like a muscle that never lifted a weight,
It would not grow stronger.
A soul that only knew happiness would not develop the deep compassion that comes from experiencing and understanding pain.
Your soul chose a mixture,
Moments of joy and moments of sorrow,
Times of ease and times of challenge,
Experiences of connection and experiences of loneliness.
All of it is perfect curriculum for developing the qualities your soul wanted to cultivate.
Right now in this exact moment,
Wherever you are,
You are in your soul's classroom,
No matter what your inner or external circumstances are.
Whether you're feeling peaceful or stressed,
Happy or sad,
Confident or uncertain,
This moment right now is part of that curriculum.
Your soul isn't waiting for you to go somewhere else,
To achieve something different or to become someone other than who you are right now.
It's fully present in the moment,
Learning from whatever is here.
Now your human experience,
You may still be guided to make changes.
Life changes may come,
Opportunities may come,
Highs and lows may come,
But in any given moment,
You are still exactly in that curriculum.
There's no destination your soul is rushing towards.
There is just this present moment experience.
This ongoing education in being human.
Now as you breathe,
Feel into the peace of knowing that you don't have to be anywhere else.
You don't have to be anyone else and you don't have to heal anything to be here and now.
You are exactly where your soul chose to be,
Learning exactly what it chose to learn.
Take a moment to appreciate the incredible courage it took for your soul to choose this human experience,
To leave the realm of pure love and come into this world of duality,
Challenge and temporarily forgetting its true nature.
Your soul knew this would be very difficult.
It knew there would be times when you feel lost,
Scared,
Alone or confused.
It knew you would sometimes forget who you really are and think you were only human.
But it chose this experience anyway because it loved growth more than comfort,
Wisdom more than ease and expansion more than safety.
Just feel the courage of your soul right now.
You are braver than you know,
Stronger than you realize and you're more loved than you can imagine.
Now when you see your challenges as soul chosen rather than random suffering,
Something shifts.
There is less of why me and there is a little bit more of what is this here to teach me.
There is less resistance to what is and more curiosity about what this experience might offer.
There is less victim consciousness and more recognition of what is.
Recognition of your soul's power and wisdom.
Now this doesn't mean you become passive or stop working to improve your circumstances.
It means you can still engage with life's challenges from a place of purpose rather than victimhood,
From curiosity rather than resistance.
Now look at the people in your life through this lens.
Family members,
Friends,
Colleagues.
They are all souls having their own chosen human experience,
Learning their own unique curriculum.
The person who seems to have everything easy might be learning about responsibility and service.
The person who seems to have everything easy and the person who always struggles might be developing incredible resistance and compassion.
And you can't judge anyone's soul's curriculum from outside because you don't know what their soul came here to learn.
You can only trust that everyone is exactly where they need to be for their own growth.
And this understanding brings deep compassion for yourself and for others.
Everyone is doing their best to navigate their soul's chosen curriculum.
Now your human mind might think when will I be done learning?
When will I graduate from these challenges?
But your soul knows that growth never ends and there is no final destination,
No ultimate achievement.
There is just ongoing expansion,
Learning and becoming.
Even when you resolve one challenge,
Your soul will find new ways to grow,
New experiences to explore and new depths of love and wisdom to discover.
And this is not frustrating from your soul's perspective.
It means the adventure never ends,
The growth never stops and the love keeps expanding infinitely.
While holding this soul's perspective,
It is also very important to honour your human experience.
Your feelings,
Your struggles and your pain,
They are all valid and deserve compassion.
You don't need to spiritually bypass your human experience by saying,
It's all perfect now,
I chose this.
Your human self is allowed to feel safe sad,
Scared,
Angry,
Overwhelmed,
Frustrated or whatever else comes up.
The soul's perspective doesn't replace your human experience,
It holds it with love and understanding.
Your soul has infinite compassion for your human struggles,
Even while knowing they serve a greater purpose.
So as you integrate this perspective now,
You might find yourself approaching life a little differently.
Challenges may become less personal and more educational.
Setbacks can possibly be seen as opportunities for growth and you might start asking different questions.
What is this here to teach me rather than why is this happening to me?
You might look for the gift in every experience,
The growth in every challenge.
And this doesn't make you naive or passive,
It makes you curious,
Resilient and someone who wants to find meaning and purpose in whatever arises.
Now your soul knows exactly what it's doing it chose this life it chose these experiences and these challenges with perfect wisdom.
Every,
Even when your human mind can't understand why,
Your soul knows.
You can trust the process of life even when it doesn't make sense.
You can have faith that everything is unfolding perfectly for your soul's growth even when it feels chaotic or painful.
Trust doesn't mean inaction,
It means acting for alignment with your deeper purpose rather than from fear or resistance.
If there is something bigger than me that exists in this world and I have experienced it once,
Twice,
Or I know that it's there what would it feel like if I align myself with that force and stop asking why trusting that that's my soul's wisdom taking me where I need to go.
And there will be times where I don't understand why things happen and that's okay.
Now breathing again and just honouring anything and everything that your soul,
Your body remembered today listening to this we're just honouring that.
So you can now place both your hands on your heart and as you breathe into your heart feel the deep peace that comes from knowing that your life has purpose meaning and a divine design to it.
You're not struggling randomly having a meaningless experience you are a soul courageously living and having a human experience learning exactly what you came here to learn.
Every challenge that you've faced has made you stronger wiser and more compassionate every difficulty has been curriculum for your soul's growth and every moment of your life has had perfect purpose.
Sometimes this remembering is all we need to move forward and this is that time for you now.
Take three deep breaths and now take a deep breath in and now take a deep breath out and now take a deep breath in and now take a deep breath out and now take a deep breath in and now take a deep breath out and now take a deep breath in and now take a deep breath out you are not a victim of circumstances you are a soul courageously choosing to grow through this beautiful challenging experience of being human.
Your life is not a mistake it's perfectly designed for your unique growth and evolution.
And on this note thank you very much for joining me today and being open and until next time Namaste
