Everyone Can Contact the Soul

Contacting the soul can be a powerful source of healing for the psyche. However, some doubt that having this experience is even possible. In exasperation they may ask:

“How can I connect with something so lofty and elusive as the soul? That sounds way too hard, way too abstruse.”

But it isn’t obstruse at all. The soul lies within every one of us, and it is really quite easy to contact. Everyone has soul consciousness, but most of us are unaware of it because it is drowned out by the business of our daily activities and the myriad thoughts that hypnotize the mind.

The Quiet Voice Within

There is a quiet voice withing that many of us have lost touch with. It tells us whether we are living in harmony with our soul. It speaks to us through our body, which tenses up when we are in dissonance with our soul, and feels wonderful when we in resonance with it. Sometimes it whispers to us through dreams and moments of intuition.

What are the activities that make our spirit feel nourished and at peace? They may be watching the beauty of a sunset, or walking in nature – or looking into the eyes of someone we love. Or simply sitting quietly and being at peace. We can recognize these things because of the subtle joy they bring. Notice the things that bring you this quiet subtle joy. Spend more time doing them, and they will reconnect you with your soul.

One of the most time-honored ways of creating soul-contact is through meditation. More about that in the next chapter.
