Years ago, I embarked on an epic soul-searching journey. I did not know why I was searching, what I was looking for, or that I was in fact soul searching. An old friend once reminded me that at age 23, I told them I was leaving Australia to travel overseas and find something that was missing in my life. Looking back, I was looking for something to heal, nurture and awaken my shattered, worn out soul.

Your Soul Shows What You Need to be Whole

It’s interesting that I ended up in an Italian city called Florence, where I felt entirely at home and met my (then) soul mate. It was as if my heart and soul felt at home the moment I arrived, and I have never loved a city more than Florence. I have since discovered that in one of my past lives, centuries ago, I lived in Florence and gave a large part of my soul to another person. It is only in this life that I have been able to retrieve that part of me, which I never knew was missing. It was the most intense feeling I have endured in my entire healing career.

Abuse Shatters Souls

My journey of surviving an abusive childhood caused me to feel shattered and disconnected. Who I used to be, and who I am now, seem like opposites. When I am reminded what I did and said in my fragmented, disconnected state, it continues to amaze me. My memories are blocked as I couldn’t be present or connected. Parts of my soul needed to be returned and mended with energy or spiritual healing. The journey has provided a lot of clarity, and it’s helped guide me towards healing my soul after many lifetimes of damage.

Making Sense of the Energetic World

The more you make sense of our shattered world, the more you realise that healing is needed for shattered, incomplete souls. Some methods of doing this include returning soul fragments or removing negative connections, conditioning, curses, spells or rituals of sacrifice. People’s souls shatter from this and other lifetimes, after an array of life situations that left them feeling incomplete or disconnected. You are born with the same soul that was present during your previous incarnations, so you often don’t realise that something is missing. This causes people to feel that living half a life is normal.

Change Is on Its Way

The elevating energies of the planet are causing your soul’s dysfunctions to come to the surface. That is why people are now choosing things that make them happy, over making money. They are putting their feelings first and wanting to follow them. There is an awakening being unveiled in each person. It is causing dissatisfaction, or an incomplete feeling, when they don’t follow their purpose, heal themselves or reconnect to their true selves.

Are You Feeling Confused?

This can also confuse people if they have lived their life for others, blocked their feelings or done what was dictated by society. They’ve become stuck, not understanding why they have a sense of incompleteness. Your soul has lived other lives, so it makes sense that it comes into this one with existing imprints from its journey. There has never been a better lifetime to heal and make yourself whole. More people are acknowledging that their feelings matter, energy is real, and freedom and happiness are paramount for a well-aligned, connected and free soul. Your soul is your spiritual, emotional, energetic self. It holds the blueprint of your physical self and the life situations you attract.

Top 10 Causes of Soul Disconnection

Your soul carries imprints of what has occurred. The following list comprises the top 10 reasons your soul can be diminished, shattered, lost or disconnected.

1. Emotional, sexual and physical abuse.
2. Witnessing violence or abuse to others, animals or the planet.
3. Over giving of yourself, and energetically giving away part of your soul through concern, worry or longing.
4. Over-involvement with another person, and giving up your true self to please them.
5. Suppressing needs, feelings, and emotions by living a life that is dictated or programmed by institutions, society, family or peers.
6. Ignoring your gut feelings, and not being true to yourself or following your passions.
7. Relying on someone else for your happiness, power or fulfillment.
8. Judgment and negative conditioning, or a lack of self-love and self-respect.
9. The involvement in rituals, contracts, vows, etc., to another person, institution, or culture, which continue into each lifetime and cause stress, restriction, and confusion.
10. Anger directed at you through curses, backstabbing, jealousy, competitiveness or blame.

Life Is Your Message

Life is your message and the benchmark that reveals the condition of your spiritual self, or soul. Your level of happiness, peace, and passion you experience is gauged by your emotions and energy.

Your soul seeks freedom, happiness, and wholeness. Wild animals are true to themselves, living in harmony with their natural soul state, in their natural habitat. If you cage a wild animal, they lose themselves, and their soul becomes depressed, fragmented and listless. A lion in its natural environment has power, courage, strength, determination and drive. It is entirely at home prowling around looking for its food, and mixing with its kind. If you caged the lion and provided food, it would lose its instinct, drive, majestic presence and power.

We Have Caged and Limited Ourselves

Humans have been treated similarly. We have been conditioned to cage ourselves in square homes, limit our minds, suppress our natural spiritual needs, and eat food that made with artificial substances, and farmed animals that are inhumanely raised and slaughtered. I have endured others’ attempts to suppress, control and destroy me, which caused me to feel depressed, unhappy and even suicidal. Despite this, I have spent decades following my heart and soul’s yearnings. It has led me to many people and places, which have given me the answers I was seeking. At age 26, I joined the Mormon Church, which fed my soul that was yearning for connection, enlightenment, and peace. This lasted 18 years until I was guided to move on and broaden my thinking, to research the law of attraction and alternative healing. I have permitted myself never to compromise my feelings and to follow my instincts. This has now brought peace to my soul and led me to my purpose and mission. The freer my soul has become, the freer and more complete my relationships and life have become.

There Is More and You Don’t Even Know It!

I know there is more to discover, which has inspired me to write the soon-to-be-released “Soul Manual” to add to the Forensic Healing System. I will dig deeper and reveal more truth about what our souls have endured. My goal is to offer a deeper connection, and more peace and happiness to life than anyone could have thought possible.
