Fully Expressing Souls

Dear Reader,

At the end of yesterday’s Soul Series post, I asked a very important question: what is your soul calling out to express, and are you expressing it fully? Not just expression, but full soul expression is our topic for today.

You are a soul. You are expressing something 24/7 – but what are you expressing? Are you expressing from your soul awareness, or are you expressing from your fears and habits? Somewhere inside, you know. Because if there are things your soul is longing to express that are being bottled up inside, there will be tension, frustration, discord.

This state is commonly referred to in some circles as being out of alignment. It usually means that your body, heart, mind and spirit are not working toward the same thing. Your soul is not being heard.

Or, maybe sometimes you do express what’s in your soul – and sometimes you don’t.

Another version:  you express some of what’s in your soul – but hold back the scary part, the part that makes you feel vulnerable.

Obviously, being a pure channel for your soul’s awareness is a lifetime journey – a beautiful one – and filled with experimentation. There will be times when that deep expression flows, seemingly without effort, and other times when it feels like the most beautiful insights and gifts inside you get come out all wrong as you struggle to find the right language, the right action…

That’s why Rule #1 on the journey is to accept yourself without judgement, no matter what.

Tomorrow we will focus on what a fully expressing soul looks like in the world, but for now I want to leave you with three ways to free up your full expression if you feel stuck.

1. Find one person you feel comfortable fully expressing your soul with, and practice. Tell them a little bit more of what’s inside you, longing to come out, than you have in the past. Take a deep breath; see how it goes. Chances are, it won’t be so bad.
2. Find one thing you feel passionate about, and share that passion in some small way with the world. If you are passionate about reading, for example, it might be as simple as volunteering to be a reading tutor.
3. Find one thing you deeply love doing, that you feel fully expresses your soul, and do it with intention. Do it regardless of whether anyone sees you. For me, it’s dancing ’til I’m ready to drop. What about you?

Pick one, and try it this week. Why wait? We are talking about changing the world here, one fully expressing soul at a time – and the world needs you to be one of those souls!

If you get stuck or have questions, let me know, and if you free up something inside you and have a little fun – let me know that too!

I honor your loving heart,

John
