We are all growing and evolving here on earth – it seems like that’s just a part of the plan. Everyone has things to work on. I’ve had so much to work on, in fact, that I was delighted to think about, and answer, a question from Rebecca, who asked if I had any advice for when you when you have a realization or feeling that you want your soul to grow and evolve MORE. Frankly, I have enough material to keep me busy working on myself for the rest of my life! – and I know that if I run out, fresh new material will be delivered to work on. And that, perhaps, flavored my take on the matter. However, it’s really great to ponder these things. To set the intention to clear up karma and help your soul on your earth journey is an incredible way to ground into your spiritual practice.
The thing is, the spiritual path is literally paved with pebbles that grow your soul, which means, in essence, that life, in and of itself, will never run out of lessons to teach you and ways to help your soul evolve.
If you have a feeling that you really want to grow more, though, my first piece of advice is to be careful before setting that intention, because you might have a subconscious belief or pattern that in order to evolve, you have to go through hardship. So don’t do that! Just take the set of circumstances you are in right now and start to work with ways in which you can heal and transform – set that intention instead.
Some of the basics that are helpful with this are to:
1. work with someone to help you see your blind spots, to look at areas where you can improve, and then get started in on it
2. practice meditation and mindfulness on an ongoing basis
3. control your thoughts
4. work to resolve what already happened in your past: childhood traumas, past relationships, and relationships in the present
5. volunteer/donate/give to others
Soul growth at the highest/most supreme level has you in a place where you are so calm, grounded, in the moment, at peace with yourself and with others that you emit a very positive vibration that radiates out into the world. That vibration is very real and tangible, to the point where others resonate with it, and their vibrations raise up too.
Another thing about soul growth is that we don’t really control what our soul wants to do. Even the whole manifesting movement, which teaches that we can be, do, and have whatever we want, is about control. Your soul has already set up a path and trajectory for you in this lifetime. If you can make peace with that, and grow within the set of circumstances you’re in, you’ll be just fine. If anything feels like a challenge and you struggle with it, that is a sign you need to focus on it and transmute and heal that energy so your soul will grow.
It’s not all about difficulties, either. The essence of what you love and the experiences that bring you to life help grow your soul too, and create a really great sense of balance, which is key. It doesn’t have to be about work and struggle all the time; your soul loves the experience of life itself, so all the things you do that make you feel alive and vibrant will grow your soul, too.
I hope that helps!
