Hello.
This journey in space and time is meant for you to say hello to your essence.
Your soul is ready to be greeted by your aware presence.
Your soul may be aching,
In fact,
For a simple smile of recognition,
Or a tear as the case may be.
When you have a day,
And we all do,
Where you feel out of sorts,
Mildly discontented,
Or inexplicably restless,
You may be overdue for a soul visit.
The distance you feel between what's good and true for you can be remedied in a momentary connection to your spiritual essence.
This life can be full of striving.
Grasping for the next goal.
What's driving that agenda?
Is it arising from that pure place within you that intends to make all your dreams come true?
Hmm.
Maybe you're not sure.
This is another sign.
It's time for an inner check-in.
To be aligned with your sweet soul,
You must first be in touch with it.
Does that sound true?
So let's turn attention inward now.
Let's create a sacred encounter with your true self,
Your soul.
Begin to tune in.
Becoming aware of your felt sense in this moment.
Can you create a safe,
Comfortable space for yourself,
Just for this stretch of time?
Be where you can drop in.
Be where you can close your eyes comfortably to the busy world outside.
And as you settle in,
Begin to notice your breath,
Slow and deep.
Let your breath reassure you that you are in the right place at the right time,
Doing what you need most to do.
That starts with relaxing.
Relax and let your thinking mind recede.
Your brain softens with your permission to rest.
The hard edges of analysis soften now.
Your mind is aware,
Yet trusting,
The wisdom of your heart.
Let it lead you.
Let it lead you.
Bring your trusting attention to the heart space.
It beats to the rhythm of your life.
This life-giving force goes unnoticed,
Yet it is essential.
Much like the indispensable soul that so often goes undetected.
Connect first with your loving,
Hardworking,
Loyal heart.
Just greet it.
Say hello,
Heart.
Send some gratitude for all it does for you.
Take a moment to exchange loving energy with your very own awesome beating heart.
As you ride the waves of love from your heartbeat and your breath,
Find the still point inside yourself.
Beyond the circus outside and the active systems of your body ever humming,
There is a sacred place inside you,
Longing for your return.
Turn towards it.
Towards the part of you that's been with you all along.
Watching.
Guiding.
Supporting and loving you.
From your first breath and every breath since,
Including this very breath right now.
This soul of yours is your ride or die.
Truer than the best of friends.
More devoted than the greatest lover.
More encouraging than the world's best coach.
How you envision it is between you.
If an image comes to you,
Trust that as a visual reminder of your soul's presence.
If a name presents itself and it feels right,
Go with that.
It's good to have ways to conceive of and call upon your soul.
So you are able to do so instantly and effortlessly.
And if the presence of your soul defies definition,
That makes sense too.
It's not important how you conceive of it.
Your soul is beyond your curious mind.
In fact,
It offers a deep and wise knowing that doesn't require thinking at all.
Let this ever-present source of loving intelligence be a great comfort to you.
Your soul has got your back.
It's been with you like glue this entire time,
Lighting the way with divine love.
Will you accept it?
Like the eye of a storm,
Your soul is clear amidst apparent confusion or disillusion.
Life can be a lot sometimes.
Your soul bears witness to it all.
It knows how hard you're trying to get it right.
It feels your deep desires.
It rides with you through every little and big triumph and every perceived failure.
And believe it or not,
It loves you through it all,
No matter what.
Every fear,
Every ugly thought,
Every point of overwhelm,
And every moment you're about to give up on a long-held dream.
When you feel lost,
Defeated,
Restless,
Or confused,
You can quiet your mind and consult your soul.
Pour it all out,
On paper,
In words,
Or silently to yourself.
Your intention of connection will do in any form.
My loving soul,
Please lead me,
Step by step,
Towards what you want most for me.
I trust you.
I cannot see well all the time.
I may seem at times blindfolded as I stumble on the path.
Stay with me,
Even as I trip,
Fall,
And walk backwards,
Or make a wrong turn.
I trust that together we will get there.
We will get where you would have me go.
I know this much.
I want to go where you lead me,
Soul.
And I will love you back as much as you love me.
Stay with the loving embrace of your soul until the way is clear.
When life is uncertain,
Can you trust in the certainty of your soul?
