50 Ways to Feed Your Soul
On Day 2 of Awesomeness Fest I had a wonderful conversation with Steve and Mia Lockhart, fellow Canadians who were soaking up the awesome and sunshiny goodness on the beach at Playa Del Carmen. We talked about so many things, from parenting, to movement and on to spirituality… which led us to a conversation about the many ways to connect with your soul.
Many people have this pre-conception that you need to meditate, chant or participate in sacred ceremonies to connect with your soul. While these are all wonderful ways to deepen your connection, it’s actually much simpler than that.
Every time you feel your bliss, you are so happy that you feel it welling up in your heart, that’s connecting with your soul. And it can show up so many ways for different people!
Here’s what we brainstormed for different ways you can connect with your soul… note: this is not a complete list…. there are many more ways…
