Soul work

"Soul work is not a high road. It is a deep fall into an unforgiving darkness that won't let you go until you find the song that sings you home'
McCall Erikson

Have you recently begun a journey of inner healing? Are you learning to heal and love yourself again? Have you done some inner child healing and realised how much of you got left behind as a child? Have you been trying to raise your vibration to be the best you? do you feel you have begun the path to spiritual enlightenment? Have you been going through a long, slow but very real ego death whilst also remembering that ultimately, what you are and were all along, was and is pure light……not your thoughts, nor the beliefs passed on to you by society, nor the feelings projected on to you by others, but simply pure consciousness inhabiting a physical body in this moment. Once you taste that you are pure energy in physical form, an insatiable taste to get to know this greater reality develops.

Deep inner healing work is not for the faint hearted. Delving deep into the depths of one’s soul, beyond the physical human self takes commitment, immense patience and determination. This is a natural and organic step in the ascension process, which takes off when we begin a spiritual awakening or soul awakening - the experience of waking up to our true selves….remembering who we really are…..When we start to spiritually awaken, we may realise that our soul self is not fully aligned with out physical self and thus begin a process of trying to align the two, and this starts with clearing out lower vibrational energies that no longer serve us.

Soul work is a process of peeling back all of the layers of conditioning, beliefs, judgements and thoughts that originally created the identity and a sense of self, that could exist in this apparent world. However, often, this sense of self also developed a protective shield, or a mask of protection, sometimes referred to as the ego - to protect itself, after having had experiences, often in early childhood, that prevented it from feeling safe or liek it could be the full expression of itself, in the world. In order to tap into the deeper, ever unchanging self, the soul, we have to begin to chip away at this protective shield or to gradually, layer by layer, peel of the mask, the false self, that gave the illusion of self protection. This work will challenge you at your core, make you want to run and hide in a hole and never come out at times. It will sometimes make you wish you never begun this journey of awakening, yet at the same time, you know really, there is never a chance you would go back. Your are now contributing to elevating collective consciousness.

Soul work involves diving into every part of you, every belief, every thought pattern, every element of conditioning you hold, every aspect of your ego which holds you back in order to wipe away the dust that blocks a deeper connection with your self. It obstructs clarity and blurs our sense of purpose and meaning in life. Your body carries memory within it cells from potentially thousands and thousands of years, and you can explore this and help shift outdated collective patterns that still remain in society, by shifting htem within you..

When we first awaken to our soul’s light, we begin to communicate with the Universe more and more, and many receive signs in a wide variety of ways that serve to guide through the process of spiritual awakening. Trying to understand the signs and syncronicites can be like trying to untangling a messed up ball of twine. It is not uncommon in the first years of awakening, to wonder frequently if you are going insane, loosing the plot, and have lost it all together, as the experiences can be so far beyond this limited physical time space reality. Your consciousness is raising, and your vibration is rising, and you are expanding into a much more infinte and multidimensional version of yourself, than you possibly ever knew was possible before. Some expereinces might be so off grid to main stream society, and the process of developing trust with what you are going through, is so difficult that it is natural to oscillate between total trust and serious doubt and despair at times. And you will likely experience once or twice a dark night of the soul, where you plunge into deeper depths that you momentarily will not be sure you can get out of, but you will. It is divinely guided. Be willing to experience the complete and utter destruction of the egoic self, which is painful. It generally doesn’t want to step aside and will put up every bit of resistence possible, but with persistence can loose its dominance and control over you.

And yet to reconnect with our soul selves is the most magical journey to be on. To remember the light within, the authentic self, is such a joy beyond measure. Doing soul work is like setting on the long road home. H.O.M.E - Heaven on Mother Earth. At first we will have initial glimpses of the gold beneath the stone encasing, and once we have tasted that, there is no going back. A life is committed to chipping away all the stone, as beneath is a body of pure gold.
