Reflection: The Language Of My Soul

During stressful times, some of us may experience difficult emotions that seem hard to regulate. However, if we have the courage to connect with our inner being, we may realize that we actually know what we need to do to feel better. The aim of this reflection is to open a space to connect with our soul so we can listen to her/his needs and learn what we can do to comfort ourselves.

Transcript

I take a moment to separate myself from the world to hear my soul.

Restlessness,

Agitation,

Irritation,

And worry are hosting my mind and my heart.

In silence,

I sit comfortably in a dignified posture,

Opening my heart and all my senses to be here for me and with me.

Slowly and deeply,

I breathe in and out.

Becoming aware of my body,

I can feel its inner agitation with the help of my breath.

I gently instruct it to calm down.

I can see and feel the air coming in,

Refreshing each part of my inner body and the air coming out,

Carrying away all tension.

I start to enter a deep state of physical stillness,

Calmness,

And relaxation.

Following my breath,

I allow it to take me to my inner sacred space.

Being here in my safe place,

I pay attention to my inner speech.

I can notice some ideas running wild in my mind.

I breathe in to open space for them to be.

And when I breathe out,

I allow them to slow down.

With my mind more open and spacious,

I can now be totally present.

I can feel the warmth and the connection between me and my inner being.

Now,

I get in touch with my difficult emotions,

I talk to them so they feel seen.

I recognize the suffering,

I feel the emotional wound open and hurting.

But I am here now and I will always be.

In a sacred and respectful way,

I approach my soul to show her my understanding,

Love,

And compassion.

Then I ask,

What can I do to ease the suffering?

Being totally alert and present,

I allow my soul to manifest freely images,

Colors,

And sounds.

They are all welcome to guide my path.

Receiving this message in my soul's language,

I seek courage,

Inspiration,

Clarity,

And wisdom.

I now know what I can do to deal with the discomfort while the storm passes.

I also understand that I have the freedom to select what I see,

I read,

I take part in,

And that I can also decide to withdraw if it doesn't agree with my well-being.

Before coming back to the external world,

I receive a gift from my soul.

When I open it,

I see a world,

This world is a reminder,

A secret password that signifies our deep connection.

I let everything go and connect again with my breathing.

I start to become aware of my body and I feel lighter,

More grounded,

More confident,

And stronger.

Sensing the space around me and listening to the sounds.

Slowly,

I open my eyes,

Feeling ready to start a new chapter full of courage and freedom.

I now know what I can do to deal with the discomfort while the storm passes.
