Sometimes the heart may be willing but the soul is bone weary with exhaustion. The lethargy feels so oppressive and dense that it’s like wading through endless fields of mud. And even though the eternal light held inside this physical being burns unwaveringly, sometimes the soul longs for a hiatus from all the disorienting noise and superfluous brouhaha of the outside world.

Sometimes the soul needs to hit pause... ⏸

and just take an abundance of time and space to simply Be.

To take in the deepest breath of fresh air and expel the cobwebs and dust that have taken up residence within.

How often do you feel your soul calling for this kind of nourishment?

And how often do you ignore this cry from deep within and keep plodding through the mud?

The thing is — when our souls need for replenishment is continually unmet, our experience of this life can feel diminished. The air seems somehow staler. Colours lose their vibrancy. The wonderment of feeling Love, in all its forms, fades to a dull lacklustre.

When we neglect to listen to that soft whisper of our soul’s voice, we avert the opportunity to inspire and cultivate our own growth. We hinder our own evolution and expansion for knowing more of our Self and blossoming into our unlimited potential.

Often in our quest for “spiritual progress”, there is a consumption of information at such a colossal rate that we don’t give ourselves the chance to gently integrate what we are absorbing. The irony being, that in our perpetual thirst to know ourselves, we search for so much knowledge to cram in and fill ourselves with — and in so doing we are bypassing the beautiful simplicity and perfection of just sitting quietly with our Self.

The possibility of opening to a conscious knowing of our true soul essence is one that is missed in the ongoing pursuit of enlightenment.

In this never-ending chase of seeking awareness and knowledge externally, we inadvertently become further distanced from truly experiencing the infinite facets of our self — let alone our hope for knowing the euphoria of Oneness.

But what if this elusive blissful state-of-being is not something to be attained through acquiring wisdom, but rather it could be realised more effortlessly in the pure and natural act of BEing?

In pausing and sinking gently into the spaciousness that exists outside time and space, we can create an inner sanctuary that isn’t beholden to the constraints of this realm. A somewhere that is anywhere and everywhere — and nowhere all at once.

Perhaps your soul is whispering to you…

*“Retreat to your inner oasis of tranquility*”

Perhaps your soul is whispering to you now to honour your need to Be and retreat to your inner oasis of tranquility? To visit your own exquisite haven where time is expansive and minutes melt languidly... where space is delectably fluid and ethereally wispy — both shimmering with the untold possibilities of discovery.

Are you willing to wander into the enigma of the You-niverse within and meet your Soul in the suspended pause there, where time and space stretch beyond all that the imagination can fathom?

Though there are innumerable things vying for our attention that detract us from awkwardly facing our raw and vulnerable Self, it is entirely possible to hang up the soul-equivalent of a “Gone Fishing” sign and boldly venture on a sojourn to the vividly illuminated and surreal wonderland that dwells inside you.

It is in here that you can simply be, find solace and sit in peace beneath the stars as you let your Self be softly tended to, gently unravelling the strings that sing your souls song. Yet, will you heed the gossamer soft sigh gently tickling your edges and urging you to explore your innermost depths?

Sweet Spark of Light:

The stars all hold their breath in the hope that you do.

For your Soul is waiting for you there... waiting for you to find your way back within, back to your Self. Waiting for you to throw open the windows with an extravagant flourish and usher in the divinely fresh air and sunshine so you can bask in the pure radiance of your own Light revealed.

May you be so deeply nourished here when you pause to Be within the effusive space of Now-Here. May you feel Soul-Fully aligned with the revitalising sparkle that is the sweet nectar of your own incandescent Love-Light.

Breathe in and fill your heart with the fresh, pure air of the heavens to replenish your spirit with the infusion of Love. Intrepidly explore the expanse of that precious space inbetween somewhere and nowhere... while breathing in all the sublimely luminous colours and starlit wonders that exist in the cosmos back into your Soul.
