Soul work is another Inner Work Practice. It is similar to inner work, but with soul work, it is about letting go, turning inward, listening to the depths of our soul, and surrendering to the Divine. While inner work is about making space within our mental and emotional landscape for this to occur. They work in tandem together like ying and yang, or the active and passive sides of the self.
Inner work is psychological and helps us understand our deepest thoughts and emotions and the navigate the painful experiences we have had throughout our life. Inner work gives us the ability to reshape and transform our beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. We free ourselves from the illusions of fear and make space for our soul’s voice. Without inner work, it would be nearly impossible to find a path to receptivity, humility, unity, and acceptance.
Soul Work helps us rediscover the truth of who we really are at the core of our being. It is the deep calling from within to find truth, freedom and a deeper connection to our higher power. From childhood, we are conditioned through our tribal and societal beliefs and conform to what others think we should do, and we separate from our true self. We live our lives in a small way, through the lens of our past traumas, manifested as survival fears.
With Soul Work, we can reconnect to the wisdom of our soul and create a deeper connection with the Divine. We practice being grounded and centered while remaining in the present moment. We strive to let go of judgement, while showing empathy, compassion, and understanding. Retaining the soul wisdom that every person and experience is symbolic in our lives, to teach us our Soul Life Lessons.
We surrender our will to the Divine and through grace, trust and faith, we begin to heal on a deeper level. We return to the connection of our soul and make space to find meaning from within and create our lives to align with our true purpose in life.
Like inner work, soul work is a long-term commitment to spiritual healing from within. Going deep to discover hidden and repressed memories and heal our wounds from the past, identifying fears, shadows, tribal beliefs and negative behaviors and dissolving the hold these patterns have over us. As we continue to do so we begin to live through the wisdom of our lessons and find soul centered balance in our lives.
Soul work involves going deep within, surrendering to the Divine, building a spiritual practice, and exploring our beliefs and honoring who we are at our very core. Soul work takes courage and commitment but through a heartfelt spiritual practice you can remain grounded and centered while on the path.
A spiritual practice is a discipline or practice that we commit to on a regular and set basis to facilitate deeper understanding and spiritual connection. Some of these practices involve self-reflective questions and exercises that cultivate understanding, spiritual healing and growth.
While other spiritual practices include quiet reflection, going within and building a prayer practice. Many find benefit from spiritual practices that are in the natural world such as volunteer work or spending time in nature. There are many paths to choose from and because this is your unique journey, you have the ability to create your own path to healing.
