Soul Place

"A home for the soul"

Soul is a word to describe the central or integral part of something: it is the vital core! In its most profound sense, it also describes the essence of every human being. It is that place within each of us that is infinite, eternal and universal. The soul is an enigma; it is a source that gives rise to form, yet is unknowable. It is illusive by its very nature, yet it also requires nurturing and caring. We can intuitively understand what its needs are, yet never fathom its depths. It is the substance within us that links our body and spirit to the greater forces of the cosmos.

What are the "soul needs"? Or, what does the soul need? Firstly, it needs a sense of belonging, to feel truly connected to the land, to your roots, to your spirit. Secondly, a soul needs to feel safe so that you can be yourself, be creative and bring forth what you are, without fear. Thirdly, it yearns for harmony with the greater cycles of life. Finally, it needs sacred space, to be filled with inner peace - opening the gateway into deep spiritual realms.

A sense of belonging - for your soul to feel happy and balanced it is essential to find a "place" where you feel truly at home (both externally and internally). Home should give you a sense of belonging and provide a context for interpreting your life's experiences. It should be a reference place that you look forward to returning to, an anchoring point from which you venture into the world and a place where you know that your heart resides.

A feeling of security - not only a place where you feel physically safe, but a place where you can truly be yourself ñ explore what you are and what you might become; a place to be outrageous and creative or quiet and still. A home that matches the contours of your soul subconsciously affirms that you are completely all right exactly the way you are. Here is the launching pad to reach your dreams, explore the deepest corners of your potential, take necessary risks, leap towards aspirations ñ all with a comforting sense of security.

Harmony with nature - nature nourishes the soul! We need to live in balance with the natural world. The swirling vortices of energy which make up the four elements of the natural world can ignite power within you, strengthen and heal you.

Sacred space - within the core of every human being dwells a yearning for the meaning that lies beyond the prosaic reality of everyday life. We reach out for evidence of something beyond the ordinary. This searching is a reflection of the soul's unique journey.

The renowned mythologist Joseph Campbell once said, "To live in sacred space is to live in a symbolic environment where spiritual life is possible, where everything around you speaks of the exaltation of the spirit. This is a place where you can simply experience and bring forth what you are and what you might be. This is the place of creative incubation. At first you might find that nothing happens there. But if you have a sacred place and use it, something will eventually happen. Your sacred space is where you find yourself again and again..."

"Grown ups are often as scared and vulnerable and in need of help as children. We don't know everything, we're not always in control. And that's ok!! Today I share this simple truth with others to dispel their despair.

Vulnerability knows no age limit, it is part of our humanness."

Of material substance,
And one foot in the dimensions of spirit and sacred life.
