Now is the time to try something new

Published by Alison Wem on

 

The New Year brings a rush of new resolutions and goals. Now is the time to try something new, just as Mother Nature changes as we move forward in the year. I have just gone for a walk in the park and the winter blossoms remind me of the Spring and the promise of warmth to come.

Find your personal Spring by trying some of the Your Soul Family events and meetings. Take a look at the programme.

Conscious Mind

Are you listening to your own soul?

It never ceases to surprise me how strong people can be when there is a crisis in their lives. They often don’t know where the strength has come from. My belief is that your soul loves you and is always with you whether you are aware of it or not.

A silent inner cry of ‘Please can you help me.’ will strengthen the link between you and your soul allowing your soul to step in more easily and give you strength.

It’s great to get help when you most need it. But think how it would help your life if you used the strength and wisdom of your soul in everyday life. Your wisdom from living many past lives is held by your soul.

You can access your wisdom via your soul.

When you have to decide something, do you get a feeling inside which lets you know what is right for you? It has come into our language as a ‘hunch’ or a ‘gut feeling’ and many other colloquialisms.

This is your intuition working, the language of your soul.

It is often felt in your heart area. When your intuition is working, many people without thinking about it place their hand on their heart. This increases the alignment between your heart and your brain, helping you interpret the messages you are receiving. When you allow your soul to speak, people hear the authenticity and wisdom in the words. You will get a much better listening to what you are saying.

Are you listening to your soul?

For many years I talked to a guide deep inside of me. We were great companions and together experienced and navigated our way through the ups and downs of life. I can’t remember a time without him. Then I found out he was actually my own soul. It would explain the depth of our relationship. It was then that I realised:

My soul is me and I am my soul.

We make a great duo. Having him in my life makes me feel good and enriches the life I lead.

If you call out to your soul, your soul will answer.

The best place to connect with your soul is that deep quiet space within. Go there to get to know your soul. Then consciously chat to your soul during your day, much as you would a friend. Ask their advice and feel their answer. See if it turs out to be good advice regardless of whether you took it. Over time you will come to trust your soul.

Nature

What can Mother Nature offer your well-being?

When you feel tired, jaded or upset, it’s a good time to go for a walk in nature. It doesn’t matter if it’s a simple park in your area or out in the countryside, the positive affect on you will be the same.

Mother Nature has many healing properties to offer you. A wonderful blue sky with fluffy clouds scudding across it can be very uplifting. The wider horizon with greenery, can bring perspective into your life. Even if its raining, the cool drops of water falling on your skin can be invigorating.

Go for this walk just with yourself rather than with a friend. If you have a friend with you, you will chatter all of the time and miss many of the benefits of this walk. Walking with a friend can be a good thing, but for a different reason. Its often about companionship, sharing of something going on in your life or mutual support through challenges. A walk in nature to feel good is a different sort of walk.

So, if you are walking in nature to help you feel better and stronger so you can cope with your life and even enjoy it, don’t walk along with your face looking at the ground. You would be surprised how many people do this! I am a great people watcher when I go on my walk….

Hold your head up and look at all of the beauty around you. You don’t have to pay money for this great experience. All you have to do is make time and space within your head to observe Mother Nature and feel her nurture you.

Let go of your thoughts and worries and enjoy the moment.

Breath in deeply the lovely air and energy so it goes deep into your body. Feel the energy go down through your body and out to the tips of your fingers and toes. Ideally take three deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth. Draw in the healing energy and let go of the energy that no longer serves you. Give the later to Mother Earth to deal with so no-one else absorbs it.

Many are surprised how a twenty-minute walk in nature can make such a difference to their day. Your mind, body and soul need nourishment, energy, revitalisation and strength. After a walk you will be surprised how the tasks and challenges that seemed so hard, now feel more achievable.

Nature has much to offer, so

take time outside to connect and spend some quality time in Mother Nature’s presence.

There is much to be gained from it.

Life Lessons

How do I lead a soulful life?

There are always those things you feel you should get done but know in your heart you never will. Perhaps you agreed to arrange to meet someone you are not very keen on or its to clean out those dreaded items at the back of the wardrobe.

But what about those things that you know are important but can’t seem to get done?

How many times have you made a definite decision to do something?

There is no doubt – you are determined. Yet nothing happens. Why not?

Is your heart in agreement with your head?

You receive the promptings from your soul in your heart. Your soul encourages you to steer your life in the direction of your soul’s purpose. Time and energy spent on more mundane things in your life are of less interest to your soul.

Of course, you have the free will to listen to the promptings from your heart or to do the logical things which you want and need to do. We are all human, so there are basic things you need to do to live, such as provide a home and put food on the table. The Universe understands this, but is perhaps less excited by them.

Like many things, it is a case of balance.

You need time to be human, but you also need time to be with your soul and follow your soul’s purpose.

When you and your soul are aligned, you are at your most productive. Things just happen. What seemed impossible becomes possible. Doors seem to open and you are in the flow of life.

My experience is to be discerning on how you distribute your time and energy to tasks. Try giving a balanced amount to the human things you need to do and those that bring you joy, excitement and fun or help you along your spiritual path. If you become totally immersed in the former, there is no time left for the latter. It really is about you choosing your own priorities and consciously living your life as you want to. So many people are allowing themselves to be pulled in different directions by other people. The goal is to learn to;

Integrate soulful activities into your everyday life.

This is not as arduous as it sounds. Promptings from the heart are often about human behaviour. It may be as simple as saying thankful or helping someone who needs it.

When you feel in your heart something is right – this is the thing to do.
