What is Soul Essence

As the Sun (soul) meets Chiron (wound) this week, it's a good time to understand what Soul Essence means.

As you understand what it means to be connected to your soul essence, you may even welcome the wound or the trigger, as the wound is the very thing that moves you closer to your essence.

The wound is the part of your humanness that you developed during child hood and traumatic experiences through out your life. This left you with certain fears and beliefs that have been stored in your cells, the epigenetics, that create the story of your life.

Your Soul essence is the part of you that is the most unique, your talents, and gifts. Your interests and things you are fascinated by. What are you most attracted to in someone? It won't be their hair colour or the shape of their nose, it will be what they talk about, what they are interested in, their subtle nuances.

When you are triggered, it is highlighting a wound from the past. It may show up an old belief that does not align with who you are at your core.

You begin to see, "ahhh I know who I am, and this triggered belief does not match who I am at my core." You could say this is the battle between the ego and the soul.

Now you get to see what isn't aligning with you. What parts need to be healed, accepted, and worked through so you can build new pathways that allow you to live in line with your essence.

The trigger is hard to be with, and it is to be respected. It can be the very gold you have been looking for that breaks you open to live more fully and more completely.

We are always walking the path of duality, the light and the dark.

Both are here at the same time. Like when we feel two different things at once, that are on the opposite ends of the scale.

Your Soul essence is always with you, and so is the wound.

This week, both will be highlighted more than usual. Breathe, be in places that help you reflect with compassion.
