How to Make Soul Growth More Comfortable

We are born with a soul, but we are not always able to ‘hold’ or ’embody’ its presence on Earth. Just as a person grows in their capacity of knowledge and ability to ‘comprehend’ something, so too do we pass through stages of life where we are more ‘aware of’ or able to ‘be’ or ‘live’ this part of our spiritual selves. Sometimes, these moments come about because we are worked toward them. Others, because there are changes that are happening in the context of our Earth environment that are bringing them about. (Sometimes, it is a mix of both!)

This article discusses how to activate your awareness and care for your growing soul connection in a way that makes the process of expansion more comfortable, rewarding and fun.

Signs You are Experiencing Soul Transitions

In a recent article, I covered how to identify if you were in a soul growth phase. In review:

How do you know that YOU are experiencing a soul transition?

1. You are processing a lot of emotions. Things are ‘coming up’ that were long buried.
2. You are feeling a strong call to find your purpose (or to live a slightly different one than you had been until now)
3. You are thinking about things, differently.
4. You feel like you are having a personality crisis
5. You have existential questions
6. All of a sudden you ‘know’ and ‘feel’ things a little more differently.
7. You are resting a LOT (and not in the way you need to worry about)
8. FLASHBACKS
9. You are thinking about things you used to love as a child
10. You are craving all sorts of food that you used to eat at one specific point of life
11. You are making steps toward doing something positive and then self-sabotage
12. You feel like you have ‘something coming’
13. You feel slight anxiety reading this because this is you and you are scared about what this means/want to run away for a second
    • It is common to want to ‘jump back’ from ‘big change’ – this is part of how our nervous system protects us via the fight or flight system. Lean into your soul – this is YOU.

Ways to Receive and Connect to You

Grounding your soul is an active process. It is also something that takes time and patience. If you surrender to the process and work with yourself intentionally through it, it is also a lot of fun AND a teacher. When you let it go unmanaged for too long, soul transition is just awful. The way to shift from one experience to another is to find tools and practices that help you with the good and hard bits.

When we lean into receiving ourselves, almost like we would a guest, we are able to help make this process more smooth and rewarding. One integrating or healing or activating part of our consciousness (energy, soul) can require something different than the other. Part of getting to know yourself consciously is to move through these layers. In so doing, you learn what makes you tick – as I have seen in thousands of clients and students (and myself) – you re able to overcome ‘old’ patterns and create that more loving, fulfilling, successful life that you are seeking. The same goes for when we are ‘healing’ a part of us that got hurt at another part in life (see Soul Compass below for more recommendations).

As a psychopomp, the soul connection and growth process is my specialty! I help people cross into themselves EVERY DAY. Here’s some pro tips

To make this a pleasant process:

Start working with yourself on a regular basis. During moments of deep activation and transformation – though sometimes intense, we are mostly meant to be having FUN with this. It is also something that goes better if we put in a little extra effort. When we are not it is usually because we just need a few jigs to the process or we hit a rough patch. Here are some things to think about taking on board:

1. Earth connection: Earth is the primary grounder of the physical body. It is also a pathway for the soul. Earth energy naturally soothes the biological body & harmonizes it with the energy body. The human Earth connection goes MUCH beyond grounding. Earth connection will help you come to new heights (whilst also helping pick you up on the lows).
   • learning to work with Earth energy can help you tremendously in the activation and soul connection process. It helps prepare your physical and spiritual body to perform together in new or different ways. It also helps you shift out of the energy that connects you to a reality strand.
   • Going on Earth based adventures and doing what I am recommending in Plugging into the Planet helps you get through this #1, #5 have fun and #6 using information from someone you can trust.
     
2. Conscious self connection: In short – this means talking to yourself. Get to know the sound of your soul. But more important, listening to what your soul is saying. Learning how to hear yourself saves a lot of time, effort, and makes things shift from confusing and painful to fun and empowering.
   • Leaning in to the pull you feel to do something; valuing your intuitive voice; listening when you feel that you should be letting go of a pattern or friend; learning to DEAL with your shadow self (the hurt self) are all going to help you navigate grounding and integrating a new layer of your being or consciousness.
     
3. Be ready to meet setbacks and challenges and do not give up when you do
   • You can almost rely on the fact that you will run into some form of challenge, disappointment, or other moments here you think that things are never going to change. You are usually at an apex in those moments – keep going.
     
4. Do not shy away from the discomfort
   • Along with setbacks, challenges, and deep soul growth can come some discomfort. Sometimes it has nothing to do with you as a person, and more about something you just figured out. Perhaps you came upon a kernel of knowledge that blew your mind. It happens. Just remember that if it gets uncomfortable, do not throw the towel in.
     • I encourage people to remember. On the other side of the discomfort will come the lessons, life experiences, and positive movement you have been seeking. JUST KEEP GOING.
       
5. Plan fun and engaging outings that enrich you and make soul growth fun for you.
   • Integrating, awakening, healing a soul part is a dynamic process. Different parts of you likes different things. Take yourself to the film – go to the waterfall – do the concert. HAVING FUN and safe experiences is part of how you show your soul that this precious part of you that is reintegrating is safe to be here, now.

6. Get help if you need it.

• There are people out there who have worked long and hard to develop knowledge that you can work with to have a good time with this.

On that note:

Work with a method & tools that work

You know that I am a soul guide and that self-connection is my specialty.

Ready to Get Connected?

While going out and just touching the earth is positive and will always help – the method I teach goes deeper than that. It shows you how to spiritually align with this energy + to work with it to empower your path. This is a core of what I teach at my online school.

If this teaching resonated, and you’re ready to actually activate this process in your body…
