Soul Coaching: Day Seven


Day Seven: Exploring Your Soul Mission in Life

I had such fun with this exercise today. I told my Mum about it, so when we were doing things together I'd say to her "Maybe this is a soul message" and she'd say "I think there might be a message here". It was fun. :)

Here are the words and messages I heard today:
  • I need to be challenged
  • I want to help people
  • I need space
  • I am a good listener
  • I am here to learn
  • I am here to write and tell stories
  • I need to travel and explore the earth
  • Freedom is essential to my life
  • There is a lot of good in people
  • Embrace life - now is the moment I have been waiting for
I went to a street fair with my Mum and I was looking at all these wonderful books (they were only $1 each - what a bargain!) and I had one of my dogs with me. A man behind me said very loudly "If I could just get this dog out of my way I could get in there". I felt bad, but it was a very small space and really only one person could look at a time, whether they had a dog or not. I didn't say anything but I felt sad about it. I waited in the shade (it is spring in Australia and it can get very hot!) with my two dogs while my Mum went to have a look around and lots of people smiled at the dogs and I and a few stopped to pat them and tell them how beautiful they are. I thought to myself "I must think more about the 10 people who loved my dogs and less about the one man who was mean". Then my Mum returned with the water and a bookmark which had LOVE written on it and a picture. "Look, another sign" she said to me. Indeed it was.

Who I am is enough

I completed Level 1 today, and am keen to revisit Level 2 and 3.

Farewell, air. This week has been revealing and interesting. I felt both bashed about by your winds and held aloft by them. I feel like I am finding parts of myself on this journey, collecting them all in a jar and bringing them all into communion with one another.

Now, I can't wait to go and read about everyone else's day 7!

Your day sounds brilliant! and the part that made my heart sing was reading out the banter back and forth with your mom! how sacred is that moment! you are truly blessed. Nice lesson, as well. . . think about the 10 positive people and let the one negative one go. Awesome!!
Peace~

It sounds like you are very good at listening to signs. That is going to make everything easier.

Air was a good week. Hopefully water week won't be too difficult. =)

I think what that man really wanted to say was, "If I could just muster up the courage to express my needs then maybe I wouldn't be standing here making passive aggressive comments at what would otherwise be a beautiful day at the fair."

Or something like that. ;)

Sounds to me like a wonderful day with your mum. Sounds like a lot of lightness and love.
