The mind is the gateway to the soul.

Listen to this articleReady

The soul’s strengths are awe and love.

The mind lets you live through those strengths.

Trauma weakens awe.

Not because the soul is broken, but because the nervous system learned to stay guarded.

When the mind focuses on the Creator’s greatness and oneness for a few minutes, it creates awe. Awe opens you emotionally.

That opening is how you show up in relationship with the Creator of the universe. From that opening, love can flow.

Self-compassion and breath work helps unlearn trauma.

It makes awe feel safe again.

That’s why it begins with meditation, not to escape life, but to see reality clearly and let the soul lead.

Explore the NextSelf Blog. Start with this post explaining the world of souls. And my Youtube. Content is published to this facebook first and a few days later, to the blog.

The blog lists all the difference patterns to study, understanding patterns is how one can develop 'Daas' [felt knowing].
Update: As awe, trust, and love deepen, they can allow greater openness and intimacy with the Creator. That intimacy can include sadness when you notice how much more of His goodness can be revealed.
