 How often do you check-in with your Soul?
Let this sink in for a moment... How often do you connect with yourself when life goes awry or vehemently challenges you? When you've been blindsided by unexpected disappointment or uprooted by sudden conflicts? When a relationship abruptly stops or the position you thought you had falls through? When you're moving in one direction and then suddenly, you have no idea where you're going or what you're even doing anymore? How often do you check in with your Soul especially, when these pockets of time seem to short circuit? It's a common response to find yourself questioning or trying to figure out ways to "fix” or "make it better." It's also common to feel triggered, shut down, and/or assume the worst. You might even get taken in or swept away by external circumstance and forget to return back to yourself. There's often a dichotomy in life experiences. At times, you can feel you’re exactly where you should be, want to be, and doing exactly what you want with a sense of purpose and positive potential. Then before you know it, the lines blur, confusion sets in, and everything feels off-track. You question everything only to feel lost, unclear and severely uninspired. Somehow, you're taken right out of your being, uprooted and exposed. When everything feels like it’s falling apart, it's a Soul calling to return home to yourself. It is an invitation to ground down and replant into more fertile soil for yourself and your life. Resist the instinct to focus on external chaos and internal confusion. Don't attempt to understand or fix it. Run toward yourself first. Come back home first so, you can reconnect in a more soulful way, to what’s most loving, nourishing and vital for your well-being. This kind of authentic self-value is how you align with your Soul being. Getting into Soul Alignment is about acquiring self-knowledge through self-connection to plug into your deeper values. It's about asking the right questions of yourself and developing an unwavering understanding of your deepest qualities and healing potentials. So, when the storm comes, ask yourself these 3 questions: 1) Is this (circumstance, person, disagreement, behavior, thought, etc.) in alignment with my soul qualities? Knowing your Soul qualities offers a basis for establishing a foundation in the pursuit of self-knowledge. First and foremost, you must know who you are at the core and root of your being. Often, Soul qualities match your values and tend to lean toward non-negotiables as part of your inherent worth. You see Soul qualities emerge within the stages of innocence and childhood years. These qualities are associated with your purpose and contribution including your natural gifts, strengths, healing process, practice, and potential. You feel most alive when in your Soul qualities and most fulfilled within and when similar qualities are found and shared with others. True fulfillment is not about external gain or achievements, it's about filling your human vessel and experience with the qualities of your Soul or embodiment. To align with that you must know who you are at the level of Soul and in being. This type of self-knowledge confirms who you are and gives you a direction to walk in. It helps you land in ways that guarantee that connections are full of good fruit and purpose. It also helps you course correct when you feel off-track. Having the knowledge of your Soul, simply affirms when you are in right alignment and encourages your movement forward. 2) What purpose does this experience have for my soul? Every experience is a learning process toward healing any disconnections to your Soul qualities. This question works to guide you back to your healing focus. It highlights those areas needing more development and aspects of self to strengthen. Being conscious in this way, offers insight into how you can best serve your growth and transformation at this time. It also introduces a more gentle, nurturing way to change old ways of being that no longer serve you by aligning you with a deeper understanding of yourself in a more loving way. 3) By staying connected to this, (circumstance, person, disagreement, behavior, thought, etc.) does it move my soul forward in a positive, healthy, healing, more meaningful way? This is such an important question because it helps you break free from anything holding you back or keeping you stuck. It gives you an opportunity to re-confirm who you are, (Soul qualities), and reminds you of where you want to re-connect or align yourself accordingly. This question sparks your vision, ignites your heart and builds momentum forward in healthy, healing, more meaningful ways and most importantly, in ways that well align with your Soul which, is the most ultimate healing of all.

TIS` THE SEASON OF HEART
December can be quite a magical month and fulfilling time of year. We get a chance to embrace the spirit of holidays and witness the wonder through the eyes of children and adults alike. Tis` the season of heart, when the world steps into a place of family, togetherness, and hope. It’s an end of a year that begins an active path into giving and receiving, rooted in a coming together of values and the essence of home. The season fills the atmosphere with magic; crisp air and snow falling from sky, lights aglow on streets and in homes, long gazes into loved one’s eyes by the crackles of fire and sparks of sweet-hearts. We take care, nestling into hearty foods like soups, stews, and hot chocolate. We bundle up with sweaters, scarves, blankets and loved ones and we find ourselves surround by light, the illumination of our hopes and dreams in the stillness of love within our hearts.
The heart symbolizes life, love and the engagement in partnership. The heart never leads alone... It never beats alone... One pulse follows the other in the direction of union. A sense of union requires partnership. We learn to connect and re-connect through the heart-experience, magnified between a pair of arms that allow us to reach out and touch what we love, while, cradled and comforted between two breasts that safely hold what we feel. We are given an opportunity to feel the magic of life, connection and harmony both, individually and collectively. The season of heart reminds us in order to create a spark of life, we cannot go at it alone. We simply relate and create in a blended continuum of wholeness. The heart does not beat alone... It does not lead alone... One pulse follows the other in complete unification. This is a time of un-veiling, re-vealing, and an un-folding of self to the inner sweetness of comfort and warmth. It’s a reminder of the mother-child experience, the inner connection and bond of unconditional love. Our very own place to rest soulfully in the wonder and awe, completely disarmed and embraced in the natural state of being. The heart leads us to a clear passage and cleansing, a shedding of old, a point to nurture life and all that we live for. It is a space given in which to surrender, to lay down a clean slate, to be re-born in concept as we celebrate into the new, calm and cradled in the mother energy, inside the season of heart.

It’s time to get out of the “cookie cutter” version of what healing should look like and shift back into our own personal experience and guidance. Sometimes, the path to healing can feel off balancing and can cause concern. We forget that being off balance is also for good purpose in defining it. The act of balance looks to the center of opposing forces to reveal a place of wholeness. This is the path to healing. The gift in that is in being open and available to both sides to integrate them as a point of conscious balance.
Let’s look at pain for example. Pain is real. It’s relentless. It reveals itself through the body. It wants to be seen. It beckons to be heard. It tugs at you every minute of every day. Pain is restrictive, trapped in the body with no space and we suffer. Pain is suffering, the physical manifestation of being held in, held back, shut down and buried within your own emotions. Your physical becomes the storehouse for emotional energy that has been ignored, unacknowledged and suppressed. Pain is a barometer, an internal broadcast system for the feelings buried inside, screaming to be heard. To be acknowledged. To be cleared. To be loved. Every healing journey will not look the same. It’s a personal pursuit- Have you ever sat with the inner voice of your own pain? I have and it had a lot to say. Pain is a lot more than just the name we gave. It’s the culmination of stuck emotions, blocked feelings, experiences, memories, unconscious belief systems and because of this, pain can be the source of evolution. Acknowledging what exists inside you, begins the path that serves as a healing direction. All of it is important information. Sometimes, the tendency is to give up because we don’t like what we see and it can be hard to move through. This is when healing becomes dedication and time invested becomes discovery. I’ve thought about pain. I’ve been in pain. I’ve worked through and with pain. It occurred to me, like a whole being awareness that the other side of pain, is pleasure. What a revelation! It never occurred to me that pleasure could be a root deficiency to the experience of pain. I was totally invested inside the pain that I missed out on any form of pleasure. I thank God for that moment in wholeness. Pleasure was now part of understanding personal balance and became a priority. When we embrace the other side, pain can rest. We cease falling back into rigid, perfectionism disguised as discipline and the “trigger” has a place to go, a space to flourish. My personal healing did not look ideal or what I had anticipated. I found rest. There was no more pushing or forcing life forward. The grip was loosening and I took in some fun, sweeter foods, conscious movement based on my needs rather than any “should’s.” My healing journey through pain helped me find a better balance within myself, a conscious balance. When you make your healing journey personal, it moves you, changes you, transforms you. Shift away from the “call to action” approach to healing and move deeper into intimate understanding. Let that be the life-giving medicine you need.
