Connect With The Power Of Your Soul
What if I tell you that you are one with the divine? That the universe you pray to actually lives inside of you. That, when you show gratitude for an unexpected blessing, it’s actually your own creation! And when something miserable happens, you need not look for outside circumstances to blame, but your inner thinking to rework on.
What if I tell you that you’re powerful? Not the kind of power you feel when you build a well-toned body by lifting vigorous weights in the gym, but the kind of power you feel when you build your mind with strong determination, positive thoughts and unshakeable faith.
I am guaranteeing you a beautiful life if you show belief in your existence. I am assuring you that you can achieve anything and everything that your heart desires. There is nothing that you can’t achieve, grab or mark yours!
While I know for a lot of you reading this, all the above things might sound bizarre. Some might think I’ve gone cuckoo in my head, but just read on a little further and try understanding the idea I want to convey.
I know a lot of us just associate our physical bodies with our being, but that is only half true. The actual meaning of ‘being’ goes beyond our physical existence. What really lives is our soul. The soul which exists in our body and is responsible for our every action.
Let me surprise you a bit more. Did you know that the soul is immortal? It is this spirit that has been alive ever since the universe was formed; it exists outside of space and time. In fact, our soul is the sole for our existence. The body itself holds no value of its own. It is the spirit which blows life into the body.
The soul is life and it has always been in existence in some body form or another. It’s like changing costumes where our spirit picks a body, lives through various experiences in it, and then when it’s time, it separates and leaves the body. The body dies, but the spirit lives on in another form. In fact, the body we are currently living in is the body our soul chose to manifest in this lifetime. But the journey has never been limited, and undoubtedly, we are not the first body our spirit chose. It has traveled through a number of lifespans that is deep for us to process.
The next obvious question that arises would be, can we see our soul? The answer is a little deep. While we can’t physically see our soul, it is believed that we can always connect with it through our eyes. Our eyes represent and reflect our soul and clearly indicate what we feel within.
If we look closely, we can easily determine a person’s frame of mind by just having eye contact with them. A good suggestion to get to know someone better is to have a meaningful conversation with them while maintaining eye contact. This slight gesture will do wonders to strengthen your bond with the person.
Actually, during interviews, the best way to determine a person’s confidence is by checking if he/she is comfortable with having eye contact with the interviewer and panel. Anyone who dodges and looks away indicates low self-confidence.
Our soul possesses immense power to manifest even the most mysterious things in our lives, it is because the spirit has no restrictions whatsoever. If you set your mind to something, your soul will make it a point to attract it into your life. All you need to do is follow some basic steps to reconnect with it:
1. Believe in the power of your soul:
Believe in its existence. Believe that it will protect you and manifest whatever you wish!
2. Keep your intentions clear and positive:
Living in pure awareness can do wonders for the soul.
3. Live in the feeling of gratitude:
Be thankful for all the happy things in life and even more thankful for all the things that didn’t work for you, because they taught you a valuable lesson.
4. Every day take out some time to connect with your soul:
Look into the mirror and smile at yourself, compliment your image in the mirror, thank it for your existence, and say your affirmations like you mean them. Affirming that you love yourself is meaningless until you stop nit-picking on small habits of yours. To manifest the best in life, you first need to accept yourself fully. Remember, you are beautiful even with the flaws and dips!
5. Indulge in self-care activities:
Involve in activities like yoga, massage, meditation, breath-work, painting, dancing, singing- ask yourself, “What brings me happiness? What do I feel like doing today?” Observe how within a few seconds your soul will reply back with a definitive answer! Start walking in that direction.
6. Never miss a moment to shower yourself with self-love:
Compliment yourself and feel the love rush through your body like a splash of wave. Reward yourself with random shopping, ordering food, taking a day off, sleeping in. These are some easy yet strong ways to indicate that you deserve every bit of everything nice.
7. Consciously craft healthy choices for your mental and physical health:
Make it a habit to indulge in activities that bring a genuine smile to your face.
8. Ensure a digital detox as often as you can:
Spend time in nature. Look at the clouds above and the grass beneath. Hear the birds chirping. Smell the fresh air and fill your body with peace that Mother Nature liberally offers!
9. Listen to what your body and mind say:
Often, the thoughts and ideas you develop when you’re thinking or planning about something are not coincidental. It’s your intuition guiding you. I remember once I was thinking about ordering a bird feeder for our garden, then my mind came up with a simple DIY idea. While I was searching for the rope to tie the feeder, I came across a beautiful green planter that was just lying in a box in my garage. It was the same planter that we hung years ago and then, due to renovations, packed it in a box and forgot about it.
When I rediscovered it, I immediately remembered all the happy memories linked with it. Probably my intuition wanted me to recall those memories and feel happy in the moment. Indeed, I was having an okay-ish day, but this incident made my day much happier. It was my soul assuring me to stay happy. Now, the planter and feeder are hanging just next to each other, making me smile whenever I cross the spot.
10. Be mindful:
Leave all your worries behind. Focus your attention on the current moment. The “what if’s” that run in your mind can always get sorted when the time comes. We need to repeatedly remind ourselves of our soul’s purpose, which is to always live in happiness and appreciate the entirety of the moment.
11. Master the art of being absolutely comfortable in silence:
You will notice a significant shift in your true potential when you learn to listen to your inner voice/intuition. When we over-stimulate our mind with constant thoughts of the past and future, we make it prone to overthinking and anxiety.
To cut this toxic pattern, we need to build a comfort zone with our own self. The best way to start this is through meditation. Just 2 to 5 minutes of sitting in absolute silence will bring you immense peace and joy. The more you enjoy this, the more you will notice the anxious thoughts will start to disappear.
12. Notice how you speak about yourself and things around you when you interact with other people:
Sometimes we recognize new patterns in how we judge the world through our conversations. For instance, we might say that gossiping is a very useless activity, yet once we meet our friends, we talk and criticize people without realizing that we are contradicting our own notion. These discussions are actually a mirror of our inner world. By noticing and correcting our words and behavior, we can gain self-knowledge and rectify our outlook towards life.
The more we make it a habit to follow these points, the more we will transition toward a beautiful life. Our soul is such a powerful navigator, but we tend to lose connection with our inner self because of external fancies and worries. To make our lives meaningful and beautiful, we need to invest in accepting, loving, and appreciating ourselves to create miracles, and guess what? Prepare yourself to receive those miracles because once you enter into this energy, your life will only and only magnify. That’s my promise to you!
