To engage in acts of creativity and creation, with love, is at the core and essence of our existence as living beings on this earth and in this universe. Creativity is Joy. Creativity is Love. Creativity is connection to Spirit, and is soul medicine.
Faith in the natural flow and process of life is a state of mind which leads to inner peace. Acceptance that we do not know exactly what will happen next creates peace of mind, and allows us to let go of our struggling. The energy we spent in struggling and striving to make things happen in some exact, tightly defined way, can then be released to fuel joyful, enthusiatic forward momentum. In this way, we become perfectly aligned with the flow of life, knowing that we are blessed at every step of the way. Here is a picture depicting this idea…
To rest is an act of self love. Self love heals the individual on all levels. Therefore, rest is soul medicine.
I read somewhere that conscious breathing can be healing for the soul. And I know that conscious breathing is taught in the practices of yoga and qigong. Breath is regarded as prana or qi (the life force energy) in these traditions.
It’s interesting to note the mind-body connection that means when we undertake a physical act like breathing, somehow this can also heal our spirit.
My own personal experience is that conscious breathing can have a healing effect on my physical and spiritual bodies. I feel like, by breathing, I can clear the blocked places in my body and energy, which might become unwellness if I didn’t clear them in this way.
Conscious breathing also has a calming effect (reduces anxiety) and can even alleviate pain. What an amazing technique, when you think about it!
The soul is the aspect of us which is connected to, and is part of, Spirit – All That Is. The soul is eternal, unlike our temporary earthly forms. The essential nature of the soul is Love.
So how do we heal the soul?
I created this image as a way of expressing the idea of planetary healing. Can an image have a healing effect on the soul?
