I have felt some crushing disappointments and loss in my life lately, and noticed, I could no longer find my joy, or allow myself to feel it. I recognized this as a sign of soul loss.
Today, I was at my new office space that holds so much beauty and healing energy to support my healing arts practice. When I arrived, I noticed the elevators were not working, then once inside, I noticed the electricity was off in the entire building, and most had gone home unable to work on a Friday. I even had to use my cell phone as a flashlight in the bathroom where it was pitch dark!
I contemplated what to do, and chose to create a sacred space just for me to drum and call my soul back home through my heartfelt song. I sang and let the words flow out of me as I drummed, and felt the joy of the sweet sound of my soul song, calling my Soul back home.
I sang and drummed until I felt the joy return to my heart.
When I finished, I looked out the window where a tall juniper tree stood, and perched on a branch was a beautiful goldfinch looking right at me. It sat there for quite some time, as if waiting for me to sing some more. When I tried for a photo it flew off, but I was left with the knowing that my song had been answered and my joy returned in the presence of the goldfinch.
I researched to learn more about the goldfinch, and found it is indeed connected with joy, and the soul, and singing. What a beautiful blessing I had been given by remembering to collaborate with my soul, and invite more joy and soul energy back into my life, and call the soul back home with my song.
I will be offering a Soul Return Retreat this Summer on over the Celtic Cross Quarter turn of the wheel for the first harvest festival of Lughnasadh. Save the date on Fri-Sat. August 2nd – 3rd. A time to call the soul back home, and harvest our soul gifts.
