Body and soul – two sides of the same coin while we’re having our human experience. The first is impatient, often loud, always demanding attention because it is concerned with the very important work of staying alive. The second is slower, found in silence, always present because there’s nowhere else to run to in the eternal present moment.
“The purpose of soul questions is to open yourself deeper and deeper until all that is left is the power and beauty you are bringing into the world.” – Gary Zukav
There is a part of you that is eternal. Unlike your body it has no shelf-life, it has seen it all come and also seen most of it go. This wisdom of the ages is always available to you if you will practice listening.
“Spiritual growth requires the development of inner knowing and inner authority. It requires the heart, not the intellect.” – Gary Zukav
“If you are fully aligned with your soul it will be your pleasure, your joy to always move toward cooperation, toward sharing, toward reverence for life. You will not be torn.” – Gary Zukav
“When the personality comes fully to serve the energy of its soul, that is authentic empowerment” – Gary Zukav
There is work to do though…
The loudest voice within you is usually not the sound of your soul, but fear shouting. This is how we’re designed because the most basic need of the human animal that you are is survival, and the simplest tool for survival is the voice of fear which makes a lot of noise in order to get your attention.
It is your freedom to decide when you want to move beyond mere survival, and now your work is to introduce the scared parts of you to your soul, so that they can learn that there is more than the survival of this body. There is also the expression of this soul.
For this, you will need to learn how to love the very parts of you that scare you, for if you don’t they will always be loud, drowning out the whispers of your soul.
Open your heart in full acceptance to the scared human.
“The road to your soul is through your heart.” – Gary Zukav
Mantras to promote the expression of your soul:
- “I am more than my body. I am the expression of my soul.”
- “I choose to listen to the whispers of my soul over the noise of my fears.”
- “I love and accept all parts of myself, including my vulnerabilities.”
- “I embrace silence as a portal to the wisdom of my soul.”
Today’s journey is an invitation to listen. By nurturing our connection to our souls, we can unlock the extraordinary potential that lies within.
