The best-kept secret to changing your life as a healer: Connecting with your authentic self, the soul

Let me ask you a question: Don't you see more clearly when there is light? I'm here to tell you, healers - your soul is that light. Your soul is the part of you that never dies. It is the truth; it's genuine. It is grand and magnificent, always strong. As a healer, you often feel overwhelmed with others' stuff - emotions, regrets, and doubts – so how do we fight back? It is by connecting to our souls and listening that helps us persevere.

In many ways, your soul is a compass. It shows you where you need to go when feeling lost in any aspect of your life. It helps you find your way when the world is uncertain. Because let's face it, the only guarantees in life are death and taxes.

Use your soul as your light and compass, and no one, and I mean no one, can stop you. Life flows when you connect to and align with your soul. An elegant fluidity and a sense of peace permeate every aspect of your life. Even if situations you encounter look catastrophic, you ride these catastrophes like the most proficient surfer.

It took me some time to realize this. Years ago, I did not understand what being connected to one's soul really meant, but after reading many books, reflecting, and seeking advice from others, I finally found myself in sync with who I am at the core of my being, my soul.

Self-compassion is key. I ask you, healers, in your journey to connect with your soul and ride these waves you encounter to be kind to yourself. Be gracious as you would a friend. For if you do that - if you can treat yourself like a dear friend - the journey towards soul connection will be infinitely smoother.
