A Visualization to Connect with Your Soul

Today's post will be a bit different. I'd like to lead you through a visualization to connect with your Soul. It's so important to connect with this aspect, to listen to its wisdom. Your Soul is your true essence, the you that goes on after your human life finishes. It is the quiet yet powerful voice that connects us to life at a much deeper level. For the visualization, I recommend you record yourself reading it. Give yourself a pause of 1-2 minutes when you get to the part where you're meeting your Soul and asking your question. You can use the photo above if you need a focal point. 

"Imagine that you are in the Arizona desert. The sun is shining and the temperature is warm. You are standing next to an opening in the ground. It is the beginning of a slot canyon. You see some steps that will take you down into the canyon. Know that the sunlight reaches the bottom of the canyon, leaving it fully illuminated. Imagine that you are now descending the steps that lead you further down, down, down to the canyon floor.

The sandstone walls tower above you. You begin to walk forward along a soft, sandy path. Around every bend is a different design. It is nature's architecture. As you continue to walk along the path, the light filters in from above, and the sandstone changes color from light browns to deep orange. You come to a spot that is more open. You stop and sit on the cool ground. You take a deep breath in through your nose and exhale through your mouth. You repeat this breath two more times.

As you begin to relax, you feel as if time has stopped. You can sense that this is a sacred space. Just as you climbed down the steps to the canyon floor, now imagine going down steps leading from your head into your heart. You bring your full attention to your heart. Using your name, greet your Soul. Take a moment to just be with your Soul. Ask your Soul - what is it I need to know? What is it I need to know? Listen for the response. It may come to you in words, images, sounds, symbols, or ideas. Don't judge it; just allow. Once you have received your message, take a moment to express gratitude. Feel gratitude to your Soul, to this place, to Mother Gaia, and to whomever you call Source. Take a deep breath in through your nose and exhale through your mouth.

Now, envision yourself standing up and continuing to walk along the sandy path until you reach a series of steps that will take you up and out. You climb the steps up, up, up until they lead you out of the canyon. When you come out of the canyon, feel your feet standing on the solid ground. You are rooted, you are connected. You are connected to your body, to the earth, and to your Soul. Once again, take a deep breath in through your nose and exhale through your mouth. When you are ready, you can open your eyes." 

How was it? Be sure to write down your Soul's message and any details about what you experienced in this visualization. If you didn't get a message, that's o.k. It may take doing this visualization a few times before you're open enough to receive.
