Soul Being and Soul Doing
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009I don’t know when the actual shift in mankind began between being and doing. Perhaps humans made a gradual transformation from being one with the land to having to always be doing something to the land. The biggest changes in man’s life came with the Industrial Revolution. The need to build, to invent, to explore and to conquer new horizons in many different fields was a time when the world sped up faster than it had before. It was a revolution of power, with cotton mills, steam engines and railroads. Man would never sit still again. The introduction of computers and the internet in people’s lives has also been an era of time speeding up. Technology has changed so fast that what you buy today is out of date tomorrow. Information you want to know can be retrieved in less than a minute. We have become a people of doing, measuring our lives by what we achieved in a day. To many the concept of sitting and just being one with the universe or the source of all is unheard of.
My friend and healer Forrest Green during a recent workshop shared his believes, teachings and what he knows to be true. We each have our own unique “soul signatureâ€, a vibration that is our soul note. This soul note is the essence of who we are and why we are here in this life at this time. It is during times when we sit quietly in nature that we are connecting to our soul signature. Above our heart and below the notch at the base of your neck, what may be called as Forrest says our 4 ¾ chakra, is where our soul signature resides. Sit quietly with your intention upon this spot and practice just being with yourself.
Mother Nature is one of our greatest teachers in Soul Being and connection to our essence. A tree lives in harmony with the elements of nature, wind, air, earth and fire. The tree sends its roots deep down into the Earth, the bigger it grows the deeper the roots, the deeper the roots the stronger the connection to self or soul. The tree collects the rainwater that falls. It soaks up the nutriments that the water provides just by being present. The sun sends down the fiery heat of the day, the tree absorbs the warmth through its leaves, thus supporting the soul essence of the tree through growth. The air that surrounds the tree also gives and takes. It up lifts its leaves moving them from side to side for equal exposure and blows away what is no longer need.
The animal world also displays its soul essences in soul being. No animal is ever trying to be anything other than it is. A cat is always a cat, a dog is a dog and a horse is a horse. As an animal communicator, it is the animal that shows me in pictures or live action what it is that they want to convey. The pictures are inherited traits that are true to that breed or species of animal. It is then my job to relay to the owner what I see, hear or feel. The soul doing in animals is related to their unique attributes. When a behavior is unwelcome by an owner than the animal and owner need to come to an understanding which often leads to taking an action. The action that is taken is a pathway to regaining balance in the relationship between animal and owner. When harmony is reach than the soul note sings. A toothy smile on a dog, a purr from the cat and a head shake with a whinny from the horse are outward examples.
An infant is in the ultimate form of being. Breath work takes us back to the time of infancy, the slow deep breathes into the belly and the all out exhale. Granted life for an infant isn’t all about being. There are those times when action is required to get your needs met. At those moments it’s put back the head, open the mouth and bawl. Once satisfied you hear the soul note in the gentle cooing an infant makes.
Breathing slowly and deeply into the belly, holding your focus on your 4 ¾ chakra will connect you to your soul signature. That place within you that is the essence of who you are. Leave the mind and the body behind, come into your feeling center. It is from here that you can explore your life’s purpose. It is the place that inspiration springs forth and imagination takes hold giving shape and meaning to your creation sending a vibration out into the world. As in the Law of Attractions, this vibration is sent out into the world linking up with other like vibrations. So that when you are ready to take action, soul doing, the doorways open up to you. Guiding you down the pathway where you already sent out your intention.
All the energy that ever was or ever will be is here right now. Energy never leaves it just changes form. This is not a direct quote yet the words inspire me. I once heard that the air Albert Einstein breathed in and exhaled is still here today. I love the thought that I too can breathe in the very air that inspired him in stillness. Where insight lead him in his life journey. As a medium, I know that our love ones don’t ever totally leave us for if they did how is it that I can see and feel their energy when I give people readings? As a healer, when I clear unwanted energy from an animal or person auric field it just doesn’t go away it transforms into a crystal clear energy that can and will be used again and again.
I invite you to take time with yourself and with nature, to let go of the past and future, to be in the here and now. I invite you to seek the space of soul being so that you can tune into your “soul signatureâ€. As Forrest says “Within this space there is a sense of peace and power and a greater capacity to “listen and to know,†to more deeply perceive or sense what is right for you on your SOUL path and in living your SOUL purpose.â€
