Soul Qualities

 

This is a very simple way of connecting with the energy and purposes of your soul: by perceiving, contemplating and amplifying one of your own soulful qualities.

We are here in this life to learn some new qualities, and also to share some of our native soulful gifts with others.

Listen to Mary Hayes Grieco and Erin Warhol discuss:

“What does it take to forgive yourself?
A good connection to your soul.” (2:32) >>


Look over this list of Soul Qualities (in Materials tab), and circle one that it seems that you are trying to learn and develop.

Hint: it’s the one characteristic that you feel that you sorely lack, but your life situations seem to ask you to come up with it, again and again, even though it isn’t easy or natural for you. Eventually you will master it and it becomes part of your strength. Name it and claim it as part of your life purpose. Speak this aloud: Ex. “I am willingly learning to have more patience.”

Then, circle three qualities that you have in abundance, and especially the one character trait that you were born with, and that you ALWAYS have, no matter what you are going through. Pick that strongest gift, to use in the meditation below.

Do you have your strongest quality picked out? __________________________
(Good. Aren’t you wonderful?)

 

Meditation

Sit quietly, in a relaxed, upright posture.

Check in with yourself: how are you today – Physically? Emotionally? Mentally?

Feel and notice your state of being on each level of the personality, with acceptance.

Say out loud, “I am (say your own name) here and now. But I am also more than (your own name.) I am my soul, eternal, loving, wise, and free”.

Imagine your soul shining like a sun with a steady light, about a foot above your head. It is radiating love, wisdom, eternity, and freedom, and it is also the source of your own best quality.

Feel and visualize the strength of that quality (faith, patience, compassion, joy, etc.) like it is part of that soul’s light.

For example, see ‘faith’ or whatever, shining out from your soul with loving power, like rays from the sun, blessing the world around you.

Imagine that same soulful light shining down into your personality.
Visualize a clear open channel – the pipeline – and the light flowing down into you from above.

Breathe mindfully for a few moments and imagine the light of your soul seeping down through that channel and entering and blessing your whole personality –
Body, emotions, and mind – increasing the light and power of your whole self.

How do you feel now?
