Talking to the soul practice
This is the part most people fear – The emotional release.
They think if they start, they will fall apart completely.
They think the feelings will be too much.
But here is the truth.
Feelings are already there. Already taking up space. Already effecting you.
Speaking to your soul doesn’t create the pain. It releases it.
Healing is not one time event. It is a relationship.
A daily practice of including yourself in your own life.
Some days the words will flow easily.
Other they won’t come at all. That’s okay.
The length doesn’t matter.
The soul needs to know you are not abandoning it again.
And now I will give you the practice.
Not as rules. But as guidance.
A map for a journey only you can take.
First. Create a space. You need privacy.
A moment you are not performing for anyone.
The place doesn’t matter.
What matters is that you feel safe enough to be completely honest
Sit down.
Close your eyes if that helps you go inward.
Or keep them open with a soft gaze.
Some people place their hand on their heart.
This creates a physical connection to the inner space.
Now breathe. Three deep breaths.
Not to relax. Though that might happen.
But to arrive.
After the third breath begin with presence.
Say either out loud or silently:
“I am here now.”
Feel the truth of that. You are here with yourself for yourself.
This moment is just for you. Nobody is watching. Nobody is judging.
Then notice what you feel.
Don’t change it. Don’t fix it.
Is there tightness in your chest?
Heaviness in your stomach?
Exhaustion in your bones?
Whatever is there, that’s your starting point.
Now begin speaking. Address your soul directly like you are talking to a friend.
Start with what’s true right now.
“I feel tired.”
Say it. Feel it. Let it be real.
Don’t justify it. Just name it.
Then go deeper.
“I’ve been tired for a long time.”
Let that truth land. Feel the weight of it.
“I’ve been pushing so hard.”
“I haven’t stopped.”
“I haven’t rested.”
Now speak to the feeling.
“I see your exhaustion.”
“You’ve been trying to tell me something and I haven’t been listening.”
This is the key. You are not trying to get rid of the feeling.
You are acknowledging it.
Feelings don’t need to be escaped.
They need to be witnessed.
Continue speaking.
Say what has never been said.
“I am sorry”. Mean it.
“I am sorry I ignored you.”
“I am sorry I pushed you aside.”
Feel what happens when you say that.
Something might crack open.
Tears might come. That’s good. That’s the release beginning.
Don’t stop the tears. Don’t wipe them away quickly. Let them fall.
Then speak gratitude. Real gratitude.
“Thank you.” Say it slowly.
“Thank you for staying with me.”
“Thank you for not giving up even when I gave up on myself.”
“Thank you for every breath.”
“Thank you for keeping me alive.”
Notice how different this feels from positive affirmations.
You are simply telling the truth.
And truth, even painful truth create space for healing.
Now listen.
Not for words. Not for answers.
Just feel what’s happening in your body. In your heart. In your mind.
There might be a softness. A warmth. A sense of something loosening.
That’s your soul responding.
It’s saying: “I hear you. I am here too.”
Stay in the feeling. Stay in the connection.
The answers will come later in their own time.
For now just be here.
This is the practice. Simple but profound. Not easy but necessary.
Begin today. Right now if you can.
Place your hand on your heart.
Close your eyes and say the first true thing that comes.
That’s enough to start.
The rest will unfold on its own.
