May the sun bring you new energy by day; may the moon softly restore you by night;may the rain wash away your worries; may the breeze blow new strength into your being.                                                                                                                      Apache Blessing                                                                                         This Apache Blessing arrived in my inbox in the middle of a hectic day, in the midst of a busy week full of jobs to be completed (including posting this blog) and projects to advance. Many of us, including me, are balancing the tasks of daily life with the splendors of the summer season – extra time with family and friends, trips to the beach, mountains, parks or exotic locations, gardening, garden parties and summer weddings. When I read the blessing, it stopped me short. Clearly, I had been ignoring its wisdom. So dear reader, I decided to follow the advice of the elders who [...]

We look on with dismay and disgust at the ego excess of greed, victimization, exploitation, violence and war that seems all too pervasive.&nbsp; As we ourselves struggle to keep our own ego in check, is it any wonder that the collective ego of the planet’s 7+billion inhabitants could manifest such awfulness? Dr. Leon Masters, Founder and CEO of the International Metaphysical Ministry and President of the IMM University System, offers some provocative thoughts on the matter: <p style="padding-left: 30px;">“.

The efforts of those who till the soil are beginning to bear fruit, literally and figuratively; farmers’ markets offering early yields, flower beds and planters awash in color and texture. This bounty is realized only after threats are overcome and crises are averted. These feasts for the senses are produced with great effort and exertion, much the same as the effort to awaken fully to one’s divinity. And those who seek to awaken have much in common with the farmer and gardener. We often talk of rebirth in glowing terms and beautiful language as if it arrives with little effort or detached from difficulty. Nothing could be further from the truth! For sure [...]

The announcement of the service hinted that there might be a story behind the obvious death of my friend Susan’s mother. I wondered at the time what led to delay the memorial service until three weeks after her mom’s death. I was surprised to learn that the death of Susan’s father in his homeland four weeks before was the scheduling consideration! But there was more startling news! On the day of her dad’s memorial service halfway around the world, Susan learned that her mother’s brother had just died. I was stunned by the incredible timing of the cumulative loss, and concerned for family members who [...]

I found out today that someone who touched my soul has died. I hadn’t seen him in years but no matter. The news made me cry. Jack touched so, so many lives in his seven and a half decades on earth. Life is so much better for the beneficiaries of his vision, passion, dedication, hard work and belief that everyone deserved a decent and affordable place to live.&nbsp; The souls of those to whom he ministered were nourished and fortified by his love of God and his ability to connect our daily life to the enfoldment of divine will. Our city became a more welcoming and habitable place for those cast aside by a society not structured around its most vulnerable citizens. And for those who merely knew him as a charismatic and affable man, his gentleness warmed the heart. His [...]

This blog Gifts and Hurts was written by my colleague Douglas Kinney and is offered with the hope that you might come to recognize the gifts and hurts that you received from your parents. Soul Source is pleased to include it in Wonderings and Wanderings of the Soul and invites you to join Doug at Soul Source on May 8^th &amp; 9^th.[separator style_type="shadow" top_margin="40" bottom_margin="40" sep_color="#9caebf" icon="" width="" class="" id=""] &nbsp; <a href="http://thesoulsource.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/valentine-heart-gift-box-md.png"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3075" src="https://thesoulsource.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/valentine-heart-gift-box-md.png" alt="valentine-heart-gift-box-md" width="299" height="246"></a>I am totally fascinated by the concept of humans being physical expressions of their soul, and my main interest and research focus has been in identifying and understanding the many ways that this manifests in our world. One of my favorite examples of this is how it shows up in our relationship with our parents. The basic premise for all of this [...]

While it was neither an immediate nor pain free transition, once it occurred I found the greatest delight in thinking, meditating and talking to others about our respective soul's journey to perfection. Looking back, I can’t fathom another destination although the path was circuitous. Along the way there has been much guidance from this world and beyond. Among the former, Dr. Michael Newton’s work guiding thousands to the life between lives (LBL) stands out among the more notable. The following client-dialogue excerpt from Dr. Newton (Dr. N.’s) Journey of Souls with (S), who is an advanced soul, so perfectly captures the essence of the soul’s journey that I [...]

I have previously noted that contemporary scientific research confirms what the mystics have known through the ages – love heals. In their search for healing practitioners, many overlook this crucial ingredient. Those who work with Alla have learned otherwise. She exudes love and compassion –the expression of love for humanity.</p> Alla combines this with her broad therapeutic knowledge and effective techniques collaborating with clients to forge effective solutions to life’s challenges. &nbsp;She is vivacious and energized by her passion for helping others. If you are wandering in search of understanding of ‘what turn [...]

Soon after, her mom, finding comfort sitting in her daughter’s room, found a list of life goals that Carolyn had compiled. I didn’t know Carolyn personally but upon reading her life goals I came to peer in on a wise soul who too quickly left the earth plane but not before she taught us a profound lesson about the joy that life holds. Carolyn’s life goals speak of a spirit of adventure and a desire to explore the beauties of the world. They reflect a curiosity about the complexities of religion and an appreciation of both classical and pop music. They are testimony to her concern and compassion for humanity and the joy that she experienced peering into the [...]
