How to listen to my soul

         Human beings are three-fold in nature - mind, body, and spirit all weave together to create the tapestry of a human life.  Each aspect of being that a human is contains certain unmistakable identifying features.  The soul vibrates at a very high level in tune with divine harmonics - frequencies of love, peace, and joy characterize the soul level of beingness. 

         The mind occupies a very different span of frequencies, although it can be consciously attuned to match the soul level.  The mind usually operates at the level of personal identity and ego.  The number one question occupying the minds of the multitudes is how do I survive?  Survival draws the focus of the mind and tends to skew thinking towards the preservation of the sense of self.

         The body, the third and densest aspect of beingness, anchors us in physicality and reflects the overall health of the mind.  Blemishes in our mental self-image result in disturbances to our physical wellbeing.  Our bodies have the not so envious task of revealing where our minds have fallen out of alignment with the wisdom of our souls.  These misalignments can be revealed through physical ailments or disrupted, self-sabotaging behaviors.  

         All of this leads us back to the original question of how to listen to the soul - when the mind aligns with the soul's frequency, we create healthy bodies and fulfilling relationships.  The soul will always lead us back Home.  Go with the soul and life will flow synchronistically and on purpose.  Ignore the soul and things may be ok for a while - but eventually life will send a wakeup call as motivation to realign.

         In my experience the soul speaks softly and treads lightly, dancing and playing through life.  Look to your joy, your passion, the inner spark of inspiration, the unbridled enthusiasm that takes hold when you so enjoy doing something that time seems to stand still.  The childlike wonder that brings renewed optimism and zest for life - these experiences signal your soul reaching out to you and saying hi.  

         With a little practice, you can even communicate with your soul directly.  The pathway to the soul is through the heart.  Try focusing your attention into your heart.  What do you sense, what do you feel, what do you hear, what do you know?  The soul may even communicate through pictures, mental images containing a very special message curated just for you.  Be patient, be soft, be present, and you just may hear your soul whisper the wisdom of your highest truth.
