We can understand the spiritual path as a journey to our deepest self. Many of us experience a deep longing to live a meaningful life, a life connected to something bigger than ourselves. We learn early that this is a life-long journey striving to emerge out of the dark illusion of our separateness and into the light of the soul and its truth of unity and oneness.
We are seeking to arrive at the sacred place of our true identity –that divine essence within that is our source of love and connection with everything. But, how do we get there? We get there by looking for the soul and its lessons in the ordinary and extraordinary experiences of our lives. We get there by committing to the soul’s journey and stepping on the path. Just like pilgrims throughout history who set off to journey to a sacred site, what you discover has to do with what you are seeking. What are you seeking on your life’s journey?
The Invitation: In this regular feature we explore the joys, fears, discoveries, and challenges of walking the path in everyday life. We also explore the ways in which the outer journey of preparing for and walking the 500 mile Camino pilgrimage in Spain, reflects the inner journey of awakening to and walking towards the soul within us. We hope these experiences will resonate with you as you consciously embark on your own walk towards soul awareness. Please join us! We’d love to talk with you as we walk this path together.
Exploring the Sacred
When pilgrimage is approached with intention to connect with the sacred, it alters the energy of the journey. If we seek to find the sacred, we need to understand what it is that is that we find sacred. What is it that you find sacred? Discovering the answers to this question is an important part of the whole experience.
Awakening to the Call
The soul has a way of urging us forward to learn our life’s lessons. Sometimes lessons come in ways we just can’t miss – like when tragedy strikes and we have to grow a part of ourselves to get through it. But sometimes our growth comes from new opportunities, new practices, or new ideas – if we have the courage to explore them. When the opportunity, or just the idea of it, comes knocking at your door, how do you respond?
5 Practices for Cultivating Soulful Leadership
The world is calling for Soul inspired leadership. The signs of Spiritual hunger and the need to cultivate purposeful meaning are everywhere. We need not look further than our own homes and local communities to see the searching and seeking new ways to be in a world that is in the throes of change.
A monumental change that will not be found in the existing forms and practices of what we currently know and do, but a change that must be sought from the very depths of our own being, a change that will bring forth new ideas, new possibilities, new ways of relating and understanding ourselves our communities and our global family.
