The Soul Solution
by
Jonathan Parker
Have you ever wondered if you have a soul? And why, if it exists, and it is
yours, you can't seem to find it? Even if you haven't asked yourself these
questions wouldn't you like to know?
Not only is it possible for to connect with your soul, doing so leads to deep
peace and true happiness. Everything in the universe is in a state of motion,
evolving into some state other than where it is at the present time. You arrived
at where you are now through a process that will continue unfolding, expanding,
and revealing continuous levels of experience well out into the future.
The soul already has all the qualities that anyone could desire, and by feeling
connected with the soul it is possible to bring these qualities into everyday
experience, while at the same time initiating a correlative process that
dissolves everything that wouldn't be wanted.
What interferes with experiencing our soul on a continuous basis are the many
filters through which we experience life. What we normally think we are is an
accumulation of all our perceptions, conclusions, beliefs, reactions, memories,
and ideas as well as all the roles we have played utilizing our talents and
skills. These comprise our personality, which is like an overlay that masks the
true reality of our soul which lies beneath it all. And yet these overlays or
identities are so compelling that we convince ourselves they are who we are and
we lose touch with our deeper reality.
In a true sense, people are already connected with their soul, and they can
often know and feel the connection when they are attracted to whatever is
beautiful, profound, creative, loving, peaceful, and fulfilling, whether through
people, activities or nature. You also see the soul reflected in the relentless
pursuit of perfection often found in scientists, musicians, artists, athletes,
authors, actors, and all others who seek to attain to a higher potential. So the
soul is present in human experience even if it is not always recognized.
A Soul Meditation
Let's begin the journey to your soul through a meditation. You will want to
arrange yourself to be as comfortable as possible. I would suggest you do this
when you won't be disturbed or have anything else to do.
When you are prepared, settle in and start with a comfortable deep breath in
through your nose and imagine you are also breathing in golden light through the
top of your head. As you exhale feel yourself relaxing and absorbing the peace
and light into every muscle, organ, and nerve ... from the top of your head down
to the tips of your toes. Breathe
in light into every cell. Do this for one minute.
Read the following slowly to yourself and allow yourself to deepen the process
into your entire body.
Say to your heart, I send you all the love of my soul.
Say to your body, I embrace you with all the love of my heart and soul.
Invite the soul's love to merge into every muscle and nerve, and fill every cell
and allow this love to become part of every atom and molecule of your being.
Sense the relaxation and healing glow in your whole body and feel it spreading a
radiant love all around you.
If there are any disturbances, distractions, or issues on your mind, say to
yourself, "I ask the light of my soul to fill all my thoughts and feelings about
these situations. I send all my thoughts, memories, and feelings the pure light
and blessings of my soul."
Feel a relaxed quality emerging through you as you welcome the peaceful soul
presence.
Say to yourself:
"I allow the source of love to embrace my heart.
I place my heart in the presence of my enlightened soul so that all may
be healed."
These statements are like prayers and intentions. They are requests of the
deepest core of your soul where all goodness dwells. Allow yourself to deepen
into the feelings of receiving the love, light, and healing that lives in your
heart.
Drink in the soul's qualities and say, "Yes" with thanksgiving. Say, "Yes" to
receiving peace, love, and healing, and ask them to deepen within you.
"I ask the presence of my soul to deepen in my awareness. I acknowledge the
radiance of the soul all around and through me."
As always, express gratitude for your meditation.
When you have finished with this process for this time, be sure to
acknowledge yourself fully present and grounded in here and now.
The soul has a wonderful lightness, purity, and softness. Notice how any issues
that may have seemed strong and dominant are now held much more softly and the
feelings of lightness and spaciousness replace any struggle.
The more time you spend with establishing and deepening your soul connection the
more you will feel its qualities and gifts. In the beginning the experience may
be quite subtle, but with practice it becomes much more pronounced.
