Are you caught up in the endless stream of thoughts in your head directing you and often discouraging you?
The ego mind plays an important role in your human life, challenging you in ways that move you further and further away from your hidden gem and truth. Being human includes more than just our conscious mind, it includes our divinity, our soul.
The human mind Is the place you shall find
The only lies Your self will tell
That makes you feel Quite unwell
While deep inside
There does hide
The truth of you
Perfect and true
Completely healthy And able to overcome
All that life throws at you Making you feel undone…
Have you noticed that when we speak of the mind, body, and soul, we always place the “mind” first? Why is the soul always last!
There is a mistake most make as humans, and that is listening to the mind and allowing it to define who we are. This is further enhanced by what others say to you, beliefs you have been taught and life’s experiences. The ego mind uses this to block you from your hidden gem, your soul. The ego mind knows it only has this one short life to exist, and it makes the most of it! The soul is eternal and is soft, loving and patient. It is difficult to hear the guidance from your soul over the loud voice of the ego.
How would your life be different, if you identified with your soul as your true self?
Have you ever experienced a moment when you had a gut feeling about something so strong that even though there was no evidence to back it up, you knew it was true? Did you listen? This is the voice of your soul, your intuition. The voice of your soul only speaks with kindness and with your best interest at heart. It knows what you need better than any other part of you. If you placed the steering wheel with your soul, rather than your ego mind, it would be much more difficult to believe the negative self-talk in your head, negativity from others about you and you would move through life with a belief of “I am worthy”, rather than “I am not worthy”. Imagine how wonderful this would feel! To be fully human, you must include your soul as part of you.
Tip on how to shift closer to your soul:
Create a new mantra for yourself! Begin each day with the affirmation, “I am my powerful soul”, this will shift your beliefs about yourself into something much more loving, powerful, and kind. This simple tool of using an affirmation is the beginning of shifting who you are and stepping into the role of fully being human: Soul + Mind + Body!
