Soul Wisdom

By Christine Metawati

When we embrace the soul's prompting to follow our inner desires and timing, the deeper wisdom of the soul is expressed. The process of self-discovery is not a linear one. When we start seeking to be who we truly are, we might not always be aware of the issues ready for healing but our Inner Self does. When we allow ourselves to trust this deeper part and explore the vastness of our inner terrain, we will discover layers upon layers of profound clarity within us.

Here is an example from a Reiki/EFT session where I had the joy to witness the soul at work. This is why I love my work: when we trust our inner guidance, everyone involved is uplifted — it is pure magic in action!

This client had been a shy person for most of his life. He came to our session without really knowing what to focus on in our session, so we decided to leave it to his Higher Self to guide us. As we did our Reiki session, I felt his inner yearning to become more of the person he is capable of being, and yet there was the energy within him that indicated how shy and fearful he was feeling about becoming who he really is. Here was an inner conflict about moving forward.

I mentioned this inner conflict to the client, and we agreed to use EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to "peel the onion" and go to the next layer for more information. As we tapped, what came up was a realization for him that his shyness was not about feeling afraid of not being liked; it was more the fear of being liked. There was a risk of shame, of exposure. There was a fear of being true to himself!

He contemplated that "you can't always be honest with everybody, or you will have conflict with others." Using EFT, we tapped on his meridian points to release the belief and access his inner wisdom to guide him how to be true to himself and still be in harmony with others.

What came up was a beautiful wisdom: "I will look for the good in others. If I can't see the positive in others, and are stuck in the negative, I will try to help the person."As soon as he said that, electric currents went through me as he released old and outdated energy patterns which were not in alignment with his higher truth and wisdom. There was a profound calm and peace in his energy body. He let out a deep peaceful sigh, as his body relaxed to his own deeper knowing.

Later the client told me that he felt that he was entering a new phase in his growth after our session. He didn't seem to be preoccupied with his perceived "shortcomings", and he felt that his new direction in life was downright meaningful and spiritually nurturing. He felt his life was enriched by his connection to his Inner Self.

It was awe-inspiring to witness and be part of this discovery process of the soul. I felt extremely blessed to be able to witness the majesty of human spirit coming forth and shining so clearly. May the wisdom of your soul come forth and guide you.
