When I was a little girl and looked in the mirror, I felt strongly that the reflection wasn’t really me. I silently asked, “Who are you?” Where did you come from? Why are you here now? I would get chills when I asked those questions, and the shadows of timelessness would begin to envelop me. My image in the mirror morphed into a thousand different shapes. That was absolutely frightening to my four-year-old self, and I would run away each time. Even so, I kept going back, surreptitiously creeping toward the mirror to investigate my reflection again. As I got older, I stopped pursuing this adventure. I didn’t, however, forget my questions, nor did the deep need to have them answered go away.
To draw down your soul,
you must drink from its well.
But where is that well?
It is the depth you have always carried.
It is the murk where you’ve hidden your deeds
and the light that exposes and cleanses all imbalance.
It is your inheritance and your legacy.
It is you.
What Does It Mean to Draw Down the Soul?
When we draw down our soul, we seek to align with our authentic, true nature so we can remember who we are and act on what we came here to do. Our authentic nature is to act in concert with our higher self. Drawing down your soul means aligning with the aspect of yourself that resides permanently in the higher-vibrating planes. It also means activating that eternal aspect from within.
Why Draw Down Your Soul?
So you can find out what you planned to do when you got here. So you can come to know who you really are. The great yearning to uncover the mystery of who we are, and the great yearning to take ourselves on our own heroic journey, propel us to draw down our soul. By aligning with our souls, we will come to know ourselves and truly see what we are made of. The current trajectory we’re traveling – what we do, who we meet, and bring into our inner circle – will drastically change.
When you bring down your soul, you will step beyond your comfort zone, but you will also experience your high potential as it unfolds before you. When you align with your soul’s plans and purpose, you will be astonished to discover you can stretch beyond what you ever thought possible in what you can create for your life and for the benefit of others. You cannot wait to get out of bed to get back on task, because when you bring down your soul, you bring Creation into manifestation. You are standing in the shoes of God.
You Were Born to Greatness
Greatness unfolds as you live out your soul purpose. To live your greatness, you must know who you are and, in each moment, do what you can to support that. Your soul holds vast reservoirs of knowledge and abilities you have acquired over your many incarnations. When you bring forth the sum of those gifts, you can create profound change in yourself and in the world. Think of your soul as your personal library, filled with everything you need to guide you toward a life that is clearly directed, resonates with rightness, and is deeply fulfilling. Your purpose’s greatness is not defined by fame, conventional power, or fortune and wealth. Greatness is not defined by being in the world’s limelight in an exalted way – it is about successfully identifying, pursuing, and accomplishing your purpose.
When you are not living your purpose, your life is at best dull, ordinary, and unfulfilled. At worst, it is marked by setbacks and even cruel experiences. Overcoming the limitations of being in the wrong place and situation is difficult. It is nearly impossible to come into our own when we are in the wrong environment, with the wrong people, and applying ourselves to tasks that are not ours.
You Were Born to Power
Most of us never access the power we have because we have agreed to conform to cultural paradigms. You were born the leader of your life. You are in charge. Sometimes, even often, it seems absurd to think of ourselves as leaders, especially as powerful leaders of our lives, when we don’t seem to have much power or control over anything. When our livelihoods don’t yield much in paychecks or meaning, or when a livelihood is nowhere to be found, it certainly doesn’t feel or look like we have much say over our lives. But these circumstances, painful as they can be, are not statements about our value or our true power. They don’t reflect who we are. We may believe that we have no value, but the truth is, our value always stands outside of time and place. You cannot give in to any belief that says your value rises and falls with your accomplishments and others’ approval. We may believe that we have no power, but the truth is we have the power to move heaven and earth.
Can you say more about this power we have to move heaven and earth?
When we say you have the power to move heaven and earth, we mean your innate capacity to bring into being the life you agreed to live, even in the face of challenges you find yourself in, or have been in, for quite some time. We are referring, specifically, to your personal power, the power that comes straight from your soul. That is the power to lead your life. We are also referring to your capacity for resilience in the face of uncertainty and opposition. Your soul will lead you, but you must be open to receiving its guidance. This information comes in many ways and through many sources. These are the sources that speak to the depths of you, sparking heightened excitement and curiosity. You will know when you are hearing your truth – it will have the unmistakable ring of conviction. You will know beyond a doubt that your soul is speaking to you.
