Dear Stepping Stones,

“How do I connect with my soul?” and/or

“How can I know if I’m already connected?”

We each have a soul and soul is always with us. The soul comes here from its plane of existence to experience the dense physical matter of the Earth plane in a physical body. Soul is located in the heart of the physical body which is a natural mid-point and balance point in the body. The soul is also a quality of what we call the “Thinker” which is that part of one who considers experience. Soul connection increases as one reaches up for guidance while calling the soul in and as the soul reaches down to us. The percentage of soul within each individual increases as they move through life experience gaining wisdom through constructive choices and sharing that experience and wisdom to support others. Soul is always with each of us. Soul is never lost as well as there is no such thing as “soul retrieval”.

The soul is alive within us in the moment.  Staying in the moment includes being an observer using the body’s senses.  It is a calm space that slows down time as the body breaths with ease.  Think of listening to the sounds and sights of nature or watching the joy of children play then extend that space to more experiences in life. Miracles happen in the moment as soul sweeps in and guides us in a direction. Strive for a sense of balance between the higher and lower self, staying on the middle path and healthy zone. Although reviewing, reflecting, and understanding oneself is important, it is best to do that at the end of each day considering the experiences and choices through the day along with how one can be in the healthy zone of balanced constructive living, sharing your best for yourself and the world.

Recognize soul within by being aware of soul traits. The physical body’s movements often reflect the soul’s energy with poise and grace. The soul’s energy comes through the heart center, the right eye and the shoulders, arms and hands. It often communicates with listening as an observer and speaking common sense uncomplicated messages.

Feelings of happiness, joy, common respect, acceptance, appreciation as well as a desire to share these feelings is soul communicating. Asking the soul what it would like to communicate today is a good way to get in touch with the individual’s soul expression.  The soul’s answer come as a heart direction. Each soul has a focus that releases as a gentle guidance. Soul energy brings understanding. It motives and inspires along with being magnetic and compelling. The soul offers and does not control. The energy is calm, quiet, subtle and with sincerity. The soul ponders and considers and is in no rush.  It communicates requesting one to consider, contemplate, sort, be patient and live in acceptance of oneself and others.  Soul does not judge or create guilt.

Our lower self or ego can mimic what it thinks the soul is and tries to sell an idea to satisfy its desires, wants, needs and self-interest doing its best to control decisions. When a voice calls with a quick-fire answer and surety, pressures, is urgent, loud, demanding and badgering one with guilt, or blaming and judging self and others along with desiring power and control…surely it is the ego. The soul will wait. It is always with you and forever patient. It will take experience in as an opportunity to grow. Opposition is a part of life. Consider the dualities, positives and negatives, before making a decision. Look up and view possibilities. Soul will guide you but, the final decision is yours as you the “Thinker” combining real life experience and street smarts to a choice that can be revised as new information comes in. Soul is ever adaptable and flexible to any situation with gentle guidance moving one forward. Ego can get stuck and freeze in fear. Soul is present in movement as well as moment to moment-small choices, ever moving forward.

Journaling experiences felt with the senses is another way of getting in touch with soul. Notice soul’s subtle and sincere message before they pass. Look for opportunity and potential.  Soul is interested and listening when its learning something new and helpful. An exercise of looking in a mirror at the right eye for a few minutes each day and being aware of what one is receiving, is another way of contacting the energy of the soul.  A visualization mediation that is supportive is envisioning meeting and embracing your soul heart-to-heart. Imagine walking hand in hand with your soul on a golden inclined pathway to a rising golden sun. Also, asking, “What would my soul do, what do I need to move forward, or what is holding me back?” These questions will bring a soul answer. Ask the soul to harmonize situations in your life. The soul can transmute past pain, sadness, fear, anger and rage that one has recognized through the heart and with one’s permission, the past energy will be transmuted into a positive quality one requests such as healthy relating, freedom, unity, cooperation, justice, balance, kindness, or equality etc.

The body will become more infused with the soul as one consciously works with the soul. Sharing one’s experience and soul qualities with wisdom brings soul forward. Expressing soul qualities through the heart as well as discovering the souls love and care for yourself and all life forms will bring stable happiness to your being and the world becomes a better place with soul energy being distributed. Be responsible and true to yourself knowing life situations are a learning experience and not for guilt or judgement. Embrace the power of the heart as a flowing guidance that can be trusted and unite with caring as a heartfelt belief. Meet the potential of your soul by being in the moment; soul will send you ah-ha moments, inspiration and creativity in the now.
