What is the soul lesson here? Why am I not learning it? What piece of the puzzle am I missing?

You are a soul having a human experience. Part of the purpose of the human experience is soul growth.

You may have heard this about the soul before. The fact you are on a soul journey may resonate deeply with you. 

Nonetheless, sometimes we all just get a little too in our heads when it comes to this concept of soul growth.

We start perceiving growth as being like we are a bunch of students, in a great big classroom, with invisible authoritarian teachers around, steering us towards challenging outcomes in order to learn a lesson. 

Goodness, saying it out loud like that really brings home how such a notion does not feel good. How much that is a kind of spirituality I am not so sure I want to be a part of. And in reality, it is a misconception created by human ideas being imposed upon the truth and reality of spirit and soul. 

It's time to restore your equilibrium and inner peace by knowing this...

When it comes to soul growth, it is much less about learning a lesson and much more about your soul inspiring choices based on wisdom. 

We have free will and we are making micro decisions in our lives every second of the day.

• Small choices unconsciously.
• Small choices subconsciously.
• Other choices are more awake and mindful. 
• Cornell University research shows that the average adult makes “about 35,000 remotely conscious decisions each day,”! That's a lot, isn't it?!

We are always going to find that somewhere along the line we have made a decision, exercised our choice, and arrived at a destination that was not quite where we envisaged we would go or even where we would like to be.

Let's not get carried away in our minds, and attach human characteristics to the soul, and more especially to what soul growth is. 

Here is an example you may relate to...

• I had a client contact me recently and they were really triggered by a situation in their life.
• They were looking to understand what the lesson was.
• They had been in a similar situation a few times in their life. Thus they had drawn the conclusion their soul was navigating them towards such situations in order to teach them a lesson. 

However, through looking for a lesson and trying to decode and problem-solve themselves and their lives intellectually, they had disconnected from the choices that lay before them. 

One choice available to them is this.

• To view their humanity with compassion and kindness, just as the soul would, and offer themselves understanding that it is a normal human reaction to be upset and triggered by the situation they found themselves in. 
• To cease trying to problem solve themselves through the intellect and the mind, and instead get back into their body, and feel themselves with their heart. To give their body and hearts the space, grace and opportunity it needs to process their pain.  

The soul growth for this client was a lot less about lesson learning and a lot more about wise choices. 

• Growth for the soul is more about finding opportunities to express its nature. The soul has a wealth of wisdom from this life and past lives to offer you on how to navigate the human experience with love for self and others in equal measure with authenticity and grace.
• Please remember this next time you may find yourself bogged down with trying to problem-solve with the mind what the concrete lessons are for you in life. 

We are just about to begin the module on the soul in my spiritual healing and mentorship group called the Spiritual Healing Sanctuary.

• Reconnect to your spirit for well-being and personal growth.
• It is just a delicious place to be. It is a compassionate and safely held space with like-minded people. We deep dive into all things spirit, soul, healing and personal growth.
• If you would like me to let you know when I kick this group off for the next round, add your name to this expression-of-interest list. It would be my pleasure to let you know.
