Hearing the Song of Your Soul: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose is a unique and completely personalized program that uses the template of the creative process for leading a more fulfilling, aware and meaningful life. The outcome is the freedom to live life sourced from your passions and not your fears. Then you can begin to hear the song of your soul and awaken to your life's purpose.
THE SONG OF THE SOUL
The Song of the Soul flows from a contract you made before you came into life. This is not a contract in the legal sense. It isn’t made up of words and obligations. Rather it is an expression of your soul’s desire to realize its potential. In each life, the contract is different; we are unique beings with unique journeys, but we come to experience the adventure of life and its possibilities with passion, wonder and vitality. We come with unconditional love for the body in which we take form, and compassion for the challenges and difficulties that we face as human beings. Although birth brings us into separation, we yearn for wholeness, connection and love – love of self, others and the divine.
All we need to do is watch babies and children to taste the soul’s capacity for love, joy and creativity. Babies and children hear the song of their soul. They live in the moment and find the world to be a place of wonder and delight. They are connected to the flow of love that is the source of all creation. But as we grow up, most of us lose this connection. The outer world becomes the greater and, for some people, the only reality.
When we close the door on our inner lives and deep connection to soul, we forget who we really are. Our world grows smaller. Our capacity for wonder, joy and compassion diminishes exponentially. We become victims of our woundings and the song of the soul is drowned out by the neurotic fears, needs and desires and judgments of the ego. In spirituality, this is called falling asleep and living an unconscious life. We are deaf to the song of our soul and out of alignment with our life’s purpose.
THE SONG OF THE SOUL GETS BURIED BUT IS NOT SILENCED
Have you ever noticed how some people are terminally bitter, angry and judgmental? They go through life so barbed, you find yourself avoiding them as if they had the plague. Then there are others, few indeed, who seem to be miraculously content. They maneuver life’s ups and down with enviable equanimity. They know what is important to them and they don’t have to prove anything to anyone. They smile frequently. In fact, just being near them makes you feel better. They are alive and awake; the song of their soul flows through them.
Then there are people who are tired of living life at the beck and call of their ego and their emotions. People who sense there is more to life than the body can sense or the minds can accept. If you are reading this, you are probably one of these people. You feel within you a call to be free and you might not even know from what you need to be free. You are hungry but can’t find true nourishment. Most likely you fit into either or both of categories below at various times:
- You feel connected to your work, family and friends – life is good, it really is – but there is a sense of disconnect from outer world “success.” You are hungry for something that seems not to be available on the smorgasbord of your outer reality.
- Your sense of discontent is strong. Your work and relationships feel empty. Passion and peace eludes you. You are tired of blaming other people and circumstances for your loneliness, emptiness and misery. You are adrift and you are searching. You know there is an answer. Oh, if only someone would give you the answer or point you in the right direction.
THE BAD NEWS IS THE GOOD NEWS!
No one can give you the answers. No one holds the key to your freedom and your awakening; no one but you can hear the song of your soul – not religious leaders, not teachers, not best friends or lovers, not books, not meditation. These can be pointers and light shedders, but the journey is yours. And this is the good news! Because if someone could give you the key to your true freedom, if someone else could define who you truly are, they could take it away.
OUR WORK IS CO-CREATION
The creative process is what makes this program so exciting and transforming. Creativity doesn’t analyze or judge. It has no expectations. It neither succeed nor fails. Creativity is not limited to the arts but nurtures life at its most profound depths. It is visceral and cyclical. It is the spark of inspiration that gestates in possibility and is nurtured by passion, patience and permitting.
Sourcing life from the creative process means trusting in who you truly are. Not the outer you, but the "contract" You who brought you into life. She knows why you choose this great adventure call life. She knows what is best for you and allows you to make those choices out of love, compassion and understanding.
We begin by exploring what you are looking to accomplish through the coaching. Everyone is at a different stage on the journey...
- You are consciously exploring your soul purpose.
- You have only a vague feeling that this kind of coaching is what you need to move on in life.
- You have identified area of life where your creativity is blocked and you need help in moving
on and completing. - You feel a blooming that is so intense, you're not sure what to do with it.
- You like the idea of deepening your inner journey with someone who understands creativity and the creative personality.
WRITING AND THE SPIRITUAL JOURNEY
I have learned through my many experiences as a writing coach that writing can be a powerful source of hearing the song of your soul. Through writing and or other techniques, we work together to by-pass the left brain/rational mind and open to the knowings of the right brain/intuitive mind to channel the wisdom, love and compassion of your true Self.
To this end, we look at how you define creativity, relate to creativity and the role creativity plays in your life. Very often, we need to redefine creativity.
Our work is to open the channel to that vibrant and constant song of childhood, in order to hear and trust that the rhythms and desires of your Self (not your mind or ego) are true, important and vital — vital for you, your loved ones and friends and the world.
