Soul Print

"A soul print is made up of our dreams and destiny

both lived and unlived, conscious and not yet conscious.

Marc Gafni

A soul print contains memories from our earliest earthly experiences and perhaps from lives before. There are wisps of success and slashes of failures. and unresolved reactions to known and unknown tickling. Within are held  yearnings, fears, and images created by our ego and  balanced by our gentle spirit. 

Within a soul print our unique essence is held. It reflects who we are and our desires to be seen by others. It takes courage for us to allow others to see us, as it requires an openness  and vulnerability.  It can be brutal to share our unguarded uniqueness and have it be judged, rejected or ridiculed.

Discovery of a soul print leads to expansion and depth of who we are truly meant to be. It requires numerous excursions into our unspoken and unseen selves and then applications to how these discoveries can be best used for purposeful living. This process develops a relationship with the self heightening a true sense of simply being.

Epiphany!

"Even in the midst of our confusion, and disorder,

we can have an epiphany."

Marc Gafni

The New Year approaches, so it is time to shed our false selves and become realigned with who we have always been meant to be. Releasing illusions of who we thought we were supposed to be or who others declared we aught to be, and face a clean slate offering a vivid concept of life purpose.

Create a safe space adorned with objects deemed to be sacred. Light candles, play gentle music, and be as comfortable as possible. Behind closed eyes, let visions surface moving both in and out.  Notice how you can release the confines of the body, and simply float away into the infinity of light.

You are not your body. You are not your thoughts. You are a soul experiencing life force on earth. Observe as though you have just arrived and begin to recall what led you to be here. Sit in this silence of presence and begin to understand the unspoken words that were charted across your mission statement eons ago. This is the epiphany you have been waiting for!

 

Holy Shoes

"We often seek to receive the blessing of another

because somehow we feel that our own soul print

is incomplete, that our own story is not enough."

Marc Gafni

The way we live our lives is often a projection of who we think we should be, rather than how we truly are. Our soul print is shadowed during our search for identity in a material world. Our light gets dimmed and the intimate connection with self becomes hidden. This causes loneliness and fear of not being enough.

When we pull back the shroud of ego, we nurture our spirit with thoughts and deeds in alignment with life purpose. Our energy is used to broaden the scope of authentic connection, building upon our personal strengths and utilizing the gifts we have brought onto this earth plane. 

As we bring spiritual principles into daily living, our inner light beams, attracting support. Ego will continue to distract, but we now know these side trips are unfulfilling and fruitless. As we walk with others, we learn from them without the desire to be them. We have the right to be fully present, standing in our own holy shoes.

 

Intimacy of Connection

"To be intimate with yourself is to know your uniqueness;

to be intimate with another is to share your uniqueness."

Marc Gafni

We have spent years hiding parts of our lovely selves that didn't quite fit in. Aspects that seemed too much or not quite enough. Ironically, these unusual elements of our inner self are what makes us significant in our contribution to the diversity of life itself. There is beauty in our soul awaiting to make a creative contribution.

Dedicated inner exploration is required to fully see and understand how we are different. Then once recognized, we can creatively expand and grow our essence. Understanding the depth of the self, we have a plethora of options as to how we want to present to the outer world. We begin to respect the gifts we have to offer and how they align with others.

If we examine people or places that attract us, we begin to see we are pulled in by their uniqueness. When we understand the complexity of our self, we become curious about the intricacies of others. We yearn to communicate on a soul level, excluding judgment, criticism, and narrow minded thinking. The intimacy of soul connection opens realms!
