The Role of the Soul

The soul is somewhat of a mystery, an enigma, and we want to know more about this presence in our lives that is the source of our joy and at times of our pain. What is the role of the soul, what does it do for us, and how do we connect with, work with, and embody it? It’s a delicate balance that we need to perfect over our lifetime, not giving it too much or not enough power, attention, and space in our lives. Learning to create the soul-self partnership, establishing the boundaries of our co-creative partnership, and learning to align with the soul’s energy is something that we learn for ourselves as we establish the role of the soul in our lives.The soul is the new spin engine for coaches, pundits, instagram influencers, and people who are looking for that next conversation starter since they have moved away from the laws of abundance and attraction, and other topics. There is a lot of information out there now about how we connect with the soul. We can be ‘soul sourced’, ‘soul led’, ‘soul driven’, and ‘soul focused’. There is a lot of emphasis on divinity, the soul’s mysteries, the soul’s purpose, soul mastery, and soul alignment. What is wrong with all of these topics? They give the power to the soul, they put the soul in charge and make the conversation all about the soul. And that is wrong. We are the energy containers for the soul’s energy and no matter how much we want the soul to be in charge that is never going to happen.The soul is our partner, not our leader. If we were taking a road trip with the soul it would be sitting in the passenger seat, not the driver’s seat. If we were running a company with our soul it would be our chief financial officer, not the CEO. It is going to tell us when we have overdrawn our bank account but it will not put money in it.Read the rest of this article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2026 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.Please note our policies regarding copyright infringement, content misuse, and theft of intellectual property.
