Your soul is always there, waiting patiently

I am reminded again how my soul is the real me, and my personality/lower self the temporary coat I wear in this lifetime. While meditating just now my head was full of tasks I need to do today. Suddenly I realized what I was doing, and shut off the busy thoughts.

Immediately I saw the rosy warm light of my soul - it was there all along, patiently waiting for me to sort my head out! It is so comforting to know who I really am, especially on days when my personality struggles, eg arguments with teenage daughter.

Do start to set aside a few minutes a day to quieten your head, and build a relationship with your soul - it is a wonderful investment.

Do you respect people's differences?

This Hazeldene quote stopped me in my tracks just now: 'Name one difference between you and your partner that you respect'. I struggle immensely with this issue. My personality has always felt that my way is best, therefore yours is flawed! It is my major character defect.

My soul knows that each person on Earth is unique and special - no single astrology chart (life plan) or personality is the same. We grow spiritually by learning to embrace that uniqueness in everyone. We are all chips off the old block; God energy. We are all love.

Lose the fear and just do it!

I had a great day yesterday. Driving home, I thought about my life...my house is fine, my appearance is fine, my wardrobe fine, my health fine, my relationships fine...there is nothing to get in the way of living soulfully instead of fearfully.

My personality is still trying to unsettle my soul with insecure thoughts about my new career as a past life regressionist. So I have adopted the Nike motto: 'Just do it!' It's working. I am ignoring my doubts and fears and getting on with it every day.

I wish for you many soulful days. Lose the fear and just do it!

Enjoy the beauty of your soul

After experiencing my soul during regression recently, I want to do it regularly. Now when I meditate, I simply open up to experiencing my soul. I don't see the brilliant gold/white light I saw during the regression, but I do see beautiful rosy/purple colored light.

You can try it too. Sit still somewhere quiet, shut your eyes and clear your mind completely. Ask to experience your soul. It might take lots of practice, or it might happen immediately, but you will see beautiful light. You are seeing your soul - the real you.

What lessons can we learn from illness?

I have a fluey cold, which is most unusual - I rarely get sick. I've been told by a psychic friend that it's a spiritual cleansing, so I'm pleased there is a higher purpose. However it doesn't take away the sense of isolation, and suffering, that illness always brings.

What lessons can we learn from illness? I'm reminding myself that it's my body that is ill, not my soul. My soul is eternally well, blissfully happy. And of course, this illness will pass. I will feel better soon. Until then, I'm surviving, one day at a time.

Learn to be part of the Universal flow

When you are connected to your soul on a daily basis, you are part of the natural flow of the Universe. I can see that in my own life. I had planned to go on retreat during the weekend, but 'something' (soul) told me to go early, the weekend before - which I did.

My parents-in-law surprised us with a rare visit and stayed for the weekend. I would not have been here, and missed valuable family time, if I had ignored my intuition. I love my step-mum-in-law, and we had some precious moments alone together. My soul knew...

I feel in flow these days, even though plans are slow to eventuate. I trust the Universe's time schedule, which is always more leisurely than mine. I am even learning to relax without feeling guilty: it means when the busy times come, I will be rested and ready.
