Soul Thinking - Simplicity at a Soul Level.
The world was never ready for Soul Thinking – until now.
“What a liberation to realise that the ‘voice in my head’ is not who I am” – Eckhart Tolle.
In today’s materialistic world most people spend time and effort concentrating on the surface demands and needs of the brain and body, and ignore the mind and soul.
It can often not be until something profound happens to us at a level of trauma or miracle that our souls are inevitably touched and we are often changed forever.
Some examples of this are when we give birth, if we lose a baby or loved one, someone/ourselves gets sick or a marriage breaks up. It changes us, our identities can feel threatened and/or changed forever. It’s these impactful moments that stay with us forever – imprinted on our souls.
Tuning into what’s truly important to us from a soul level and living simply from it doesn’t need to be as profound as this. You don’t HAVE to go through a degree to trauma to reach this state.
We ALL have the power to train our minds, intellect and hearts - to live in tune and in tandem with our souls. Our souls are the gateway to what we most desire and our purpose.
Living simply from a soul level requires us to turn down the analyzer in our heads and allow thoughts to enter from a calm, content and quiet place. We don’t want to become thoughtless zombies, we want to respect the power of thought and use it as gateway for inspiration and creativity. Harmony in the soul, mind and body is the key to ultimate wellness and happiness.
We can never experience happiness by suppressing our spirit and our soul.
Our mental health, our thoughts and our mindset determine our reality. Put simply our thoughts create our lives, we attract what we feel and what we think about. If we are encouraging ourselves to turn down the thoughts that don’t serve us, that create a negative feedback loop and embrace the calm and open the gateway for our inspired thoughts our lives will change – I can promise you that.
So how we can tune into our souls to create simplicity? By tuning into one thing.
We are created by it, manifested by it and surrounded by it, your children were created by it too – LOVE. Our soul is an umbilical cord to all that is possible.
The ways in which we find this place of calm and love is through meditation and mindfulness, two things we offer plenty of in this Village.
Here are some ideas to turn down the analyzer in our brains and create more space in our heads for soul thinking:
Write it down. Do a short meditation and then once your mind is calm, although the inspiration and creativity to come, write it down before you miss it.
(When I’m feeding my son his bottle every night in his room, I do a similar exercise. I call it my inspiration station. I try and become very in the moment, and announce in my head I am ready for any inspiration that I’m needing to come) I know I’ll have a good 10 mins in this space. I also know I want to be as mindful as I can in this space because I’m with my son.)
Find a place you can call you inspiration station.
- Meditate for 10-20 mins a day (Village meditations here: https://www.themotherhoodproject.co.nz/meditations
- Mindfulness – Do the 5 senses check strategy – STOP technique.
- Intentionally limit the amount of information you consume in a day.
- Structure your day around the decisions that matter most and tackle them first – EAT THE FROG – do what needs to be done most urgently, don’t overthink it and do it.
- Don’t tackle big decisions in the afternoon – once you tune in and realize that even before children the afternoon dips were tough, its not that you are a bad mother at those times it’s acknowledging that at that time of the day it is more challenging, blood sugar levels are done etc. Don’t crowd your mind with big decisions, instead take it easy on yourself. Go and make a healthy snack from our Village recipes or do a fitness workout, if you don’t feel up to that, read through some of our personal development strategies. Do something purposeful that inspires creativity of thought – Soul thinking.
