Soul Healing: How to guide
Hey love,
This is part III of the Soul Healing series and the final love letter on how to heal your soul. Now that you know what soul healing means and signs your soul is ready to heal, let’s get into the how to heal your soul. First things first, you have to be ready for change.
Sometimes people resist facing the layers and the shadow work that comes along with soul healing. Sit with the idea and act when you feel ready. It may take a few nights sleep or even a few months before you are ready to dive in deep. Honor yourself. Just reading this letter will begin to stir the energy to get your ready to move forward.
How to Begin Your Soul Healing Journey
Once you’re ready to heal and reconnect with the most authentic you, you will feel the push to move forward. Here are some effective ways to get started on your journey:
1. Connect with Your Inner Child
The inner child work is basically the gateway to healing. From (before) birth until around 7 years old, you are a sponge, absorbing the “rules” of society and programming your subconscious mind. Some of these are beneficial for survival and fitting in, but many of these are limiting and disempowering.
Healing your inner child will allow you to reprogram your childhood programming. It will help heal emotional wounds and trauma from younger years. Do this by calling in your inner child/ younger self and connect with them. Speak to them asking their wishes and honoring their fears.
Once you work through their pain and help them to heal, invite them into your adult life. Bring joy into your life and play in ways your younger self would enjoy like painting, dancing, or lying under the stars. Go to an amusement park, camp out, or anything that brings you joy.
2. Journal Your Soul's Journey
Write down daily thoughts, dreams, and feelings. Through journaling, you will be able to disclose those underlying patterns of your living and bring subconscious feelings to the surface for healing.
Explore what comes up and use “What if” to reframe anything that isn’t bringing you joy. For example, “what if this does work out for me”, “what if I couldn’t fail”, “what if I could see this through my higher self’s eyes”. The possibilities are endless.
Use Byron Katie’s The Work questions. “Is this true?”. Can you know that for sure? Dive deeper into your beliefs to see what you are ready to reframe or let go of to reconnect to yourself and bring those soul pieces back to you.
3. Practice with Crystals and Energy Healing
Rose quartz, amethyst, and black tourmaline have their place in emotional healing and the protection of one's energy. Blending the study of crystals into your Reiki or energy healing can help you release stuck emotions. Clear quartz and selenite crystal will amplify and charge your intentions. Take these with you into your soul healing work.
4. Set Intentions at Peak Times
Your spiritual support team often use dreams to deliver messages. Keep a dream journal to track recurring symbols and themes. Just before bed and right when you wake up the door to the subconscious mind is wide open!
Before falling asleep, meditate or ask for guidance and see what unfolds for you. Relive moments of your life you wish played out differently and envision them the way you desire. You can rewrite memories! For better or worse, so choose for the better. Heal your past by rewriting your story.
When you first wake up, before opening your eyes, connect to your wholeness. Feel how comfortable your bed is and offer gratitude for another day you get to create. Set the intention that you have a magical day filled with wholeness, healing, and joy.
5. Forgiveness Practices for Release
Forgiveness is not about excusing others; it's about freeing yourself. When you forgive you call back your energy to yourself. If there is someone that you focus energy on that is not beneficial for you, including yourself, try a forgiveness practice.
Try writing a letter to someone (or yourself) and burn it under a Full Moon to release any residual resentment or pain. You may also call them in energetically in front of you and speak to them to move past the negative energy.
6. Work with a Professional
All healing is self-healing, but sometimes a little help can be a big help. Some people greatly benefit from assistance or guidance to go deeper and there is nothing wrong with that. As a healer myself, I work with spiritual healers when I feel stuck. Sometimes to get to the root of our subconscious beliefs an outside perspective can get us there faster.
Shamans, hypnotists, Reiki masters, and other intuitive healers can all assist in soul healings. Check with the one you feel called to, to make sure they offer soul healings or soul retrievals.
What Happens After Soul Healing?
Healing of the soul doesn't mean life is going to be perfect, but it will get easier. When you reconnect to yourself you’ll notice that:
Old patterns no longer trigger you
You attract people and opportunities aligned with your highest good
You feel lighter, more joyful, and at peace with yourself
Life feels more connected
The universe is working with you, not against you
The Time to Heal is Now
Your soul has waited so long for you to come back to yourself. I hope this love letter inspires you to say yes to your healing journey. You deserve the peace, the love, the joy that comes from living as your truest self. You are worthy of so much more than you have been told and when you align with wholeness, you will know and experience this.
The universe has already set intentions to bring you here. To remind you of who you are. Now it's time to take that next step. Do one thing from this list today to show up for yourself. You are not broken and your soul is perfect. Trust it, my love; it knows the path home.
Do you do any of these practices or will you commit to start today? Let us know down below in the comments. Share this with a friend who could use it. Blessings to you!
Namasté,
Shona
P.S. If you want to try hypnosis, Reiki, or connect with your angels, past lives, spirit guides, in a healing session, I’d be honored to work with you 💕
