\nI met my spirit a couple of months ago.\u00a0 At the time I was reading Caroline Myss’ book “Entering the Castle<\/em>.”\u00a0 In this book Caroline had exercises for the reader to do to go inside and to meet your soul and connect with God.\u00a0 (I spoke of this previously in my blog of Sunday Feb. 24th, 2013.)\u00a0 The work I am refering to is in the Fourth Mansion of your castle and related to preparing to receive God.\u00a0 This assignment was a meditative exercise to imagine you soul slipping outside of your body.
\nI imagined myself outside lying on the ground under some trees. The exercise called for me to let my soul slowly float out above me and let my consciousness follow along.\u00a0 Well my experience was different.\u00a0 This flash of light darted out of my heart and streaked around in the tree branches. It was a beautiful lit up sprite, a Tinkerbell.\u00a0 It streaked back and forth around the large branches of the trees playing.\u00a0 It was awesome!
\nAfter the experience I questioned what happened, there was that realist part of me that wanted to say it was insignificant, just my imagination.\u00a0 I pushed back at the negative thoughts and chose to cherish it.\u00a0 Of course it was my imagination, but guided.\u00a0 I knew my brain had no reason to generate the image, such a thing certainly wasn’t a conscious thought. \u00a0Knowing my self as a laid back person, and until recently a mega-introvert, I just loved the idea that my soul was such a playful exciting being.
\nAs the months have gone by I think of Tinkerbell often and the idea of her makes me happy, a metaphor for the joy within me.\u00a0 I let her become that symbol of joy for me but I had my doubts that I had experienced my actual soul.
\nWith God validation always comes.
\nThis week I was listening to a Caroline Myss lecture and she was guiding a class in a prayer meditation to take their souls into the quiet sanctuary of their heart and castle.\u00a0 Her guidance was to take your soul from up in your mind.\u00a0 She said to imagine it a light like Tinkerbell, and move it down your spine to enter the heart.\u00a0 Tinkerbell!\u00a0 That light is my soul!<\/p>\nThis little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.<\/em><\/h6>\n
