Soul intentions refer to those plans that were made by you
prior to incarnating. Soul intentions are created for the
purpose of fulfilling your agreements to your self and to
others. These agreements have their basis in your soul history.
Their agenda was formed in the annals of your past; they
are not formed arbitrarily, on the basis of a passing whim.
A soul intention is not about glibly asking the question,
“Hmm…what would I like to do next?”
It is not about waking up one morning and lazily considering
whether you will have muffins or French toast for breakfast.
Soul intentions are driven by internal directives to pursue
specific goals.
Each time you incarnate you choose a series of tasks which
are aligned with what you plan to accomplish for the life.
How do you decide what you will focus on for a particular
life? This is the million-dollar question, so to speak,
but it is not actually that much of a mystery. Your life
plans are based in what you have previously experienced
and assimilated - as well as what you did not complete.
Those experiences with which you feel complete - that is
- those in which you mastered, for example, a certain skill,
or where you came to know the painful limitations and joyous
capacities of the body, and where you incontrovertibly understood
the extent to which your assumptions expanded or contracted
your opportunities and choices, will not call to you in
the same way they did when you were eager to test your mettle
in these areas. Once you have gained depth knowledge in
a curriculum you are ready to move into a different arena.
Soul intentions are the only reason to take on
incarnate form. However, we do not always live out our soul
intentions; it is possible to become decoupled from our
original plans. When we lose connection to our soul’s
original vision, we disconnect from our purpose for being
here, which is to live our dharma – that which we
came to be, to express, and to contribute. We can, nevertheless,
find a way to identify and remember what we agreed to show
up for.
Your intentions will gradually reveal themselves as you
pay attention to experiences with which you especially resonate.
Letting go of paths not taken and roads not fully traveled,
begin here: live each day as if it were your calling.
Without excessive attention to detail and over-thinking,
choose those activities that seem the most right or
important. And instead of demanding immediate results,
revel in the quietly unfolding intrigue of each moment.
Take small steps, one at a time. There is no need to argue
or resist; simply step forward, improvising as you go. You
do not need to know the next step or the next action –
by responding to the choices that call to you, to those
impulses that seek expression – your life plan will
reveal itself.
As you faithfully listen to the call of your intuitive knowing,
you will become more adept at discerning the next right
action. You do not need to wait for inspiration. Simply
take actions that reflect best what you know to be true
for yourself, and you will steadily regain footing on your
course as you remember your passions, which will re-connect
you to your soul intentions.
