What is Soul Healing?
Hello beautiful being!
Have you ever wondered how to heal your soul or what soul healing even is? Well you’re in the right place to discover the answers your soul has sent you to seek! This will be a 3 part series; there’s a lot to go over. First let’s dive into what is soul healing and what does that even mean. The follow up articles: Signs Your Soul is Speaking to You and How to Heal Your Soul will be linked over the next 2 weeks. But before we get into all of this, the truth is your soul does not need healing, but from our human perspectives, traumas can lead us on the “soul healing” journey. The soul healing journey is one of self-discovery, psychological and/or physical healing, & energetic alignment. This journey will have you connecting to wholeness and remembering who you are. Your desire for healing your soul, is your soul speaking to you and calling you back to your power, listen to it. Ok, so let’s unpack what most people mean and understand soul healing to be.
You may have heard, in the spiritual community, the terms: soul loss, soul fragments, inner-child work, or parts work. Even some past life regression deals with “damaged”, “lost”, “broken” pieces of the individual that need to be reintegrated into the whole. These terms would lead you to believe souls need healing. From our limited human perspective, this appears to be true. In reality, your soul is safe and perfect beyond the human experience. So why do we feel called to heal our souls, find the missing pieces, reconnect the lost parts? It is your soul speaking to you, asking you to reconnect to who you are.
The spirit world, including your own spirit, loves to use symbolism, metaphors, and stories to speak to us. During a soul healing process, spirit will often use images of the inner-child, past lives, memories, etc to convey the message and offer understanding. Often times in the understanding or acknowledgment of the pieces, reunion occurs. Once this happens, integration of the parts into the whole allow an individual to move forward feeling relief emotionally, physically, or on both levels.
The wholeness of who you are is so much bigger than our human bodies. Inside of this experience, we are given our senses to make this the most vivid and immersive matrix possible. Life is but a dream, quite literally. We our eternal beings, having a finite experience to create, to grow, to have fun, to love. You came here for the joy of it all. Somewhere along the way, we may forget this (especially the older we get) and our traumas and heartbreaks can influence or become our identity. The traumas, guilt, & heaviness of our emotional baggage can weigh us down and close our hearts. It does not have to be this way and The Hero’s Journey that you are on requires you to overcome this; it requires you to heal your soul.
Soul Healing: What is it?
It's about reconnecting with the lost, wounded, and silenced parts of one's self. The ups and downs of life-relationships that end, dreams seeming to take forever to materialize, and all the emotional baggage we pick up in our travels-weigh on the soul, creating blockages in the energy.
Soul healing means releasing what no longer serves you: old wounds, fears, limiting beliefs, and patterns from this lifetime (or others) & returning to a place of wholeness and inner peace. In our next article, learn Signs Your Soul is Ready to Heal.
