Do you ever allow yourself to get quiet enough to hear the voice of your soul?

Recently, I was asked to write out my soul’s desire. Right away, I began to write what was at the top of my head without going inside and connecting with a deeper part of myself. Initially, I did not take the time to really listen to what my soul had to say, I just jumped to my own quick conclusion. It was truly amazing when I compared the voice of my initial busy mind to that of my soul. As soon as I heard the voice of my soul … I was flooded by peace and comfort and the answers were right in front of me.

Have you ever had someone finish your sentence, or have you ever finished someone else’s sentence without truly listening, just to shut them up or to move on with the conversation? Do you assume someone is going to say something before they have time to speak it? If you answered yes, you are not alone. Has someone ever put words in your mouth and told you how they think you feel, when in fact, they were completely off track and all you really wanted was to be heard or listened to? Well … this is often how we treat our soul. It desperately wants to be heard, yet the busyness of our minds and our lives overrides the voice of our soul and we don’t allow ourselves the time or space to really listen.

Are you someone who lives on overdrive or autopilot? Do you take the time to connect with your soul and really listen and hear its voice? Some of us are constantly moving so quickly, or are so busy, or are maybe even afraid to hear what our soul is trying to tell us that we never really learn to connect and hear the voice of our soul. Whatever the reason may be, think about what it is costing you to ignore the voice of your soul. What would be available to you if you decided to hear and listen to your soul’s voice?

Today, I encourage you to take a few minutes, allow yourself to get quiet and ask your soul how it feels and what it needs. How you can satisfy it? If your soul wants to feel peace, perhaps you might want to take a bath or do some journaling or take a walk in nature. If your soul wants to have fun, perhaps you might want to watch a comedy or call a funny friend or do something that makes you smile.

Only you can hear the voice of your own soul … give yourself a big gift and take some time to nurture, love and connect with it this week!
