Your Soul Is Talking To You ~ Are You Listening?

by @elioverbey

I said “Yes” to the invitation without thinking.  I signed up for a Soulcollage® workshop to support my friend, Sandy. Well there was a bit of curiosity about the topic, but I was confident that rallying around my friend as she offered her first SoulCollage® workshop was my only reason to attend. I was in for a surprise!
inner critic
The only guideline was to get out of my head and let the images choose me. Then make a collage. That sounded simple  I could hear the others creating and sharing their collages. I was struggling. I kept asking myself “Is this the right image for me? I don’t know, maybe” Of course I was jumping into my head letting my inner perfectionist run the show. I picked up and image, ran it through my inner critic and put it back in the pile.
“What is wrong with me? It is only an image Nancy, just choose one, start somewhere. I finally settled on two seals.  I made my first SoulCollage® card. Through that collage my Soul gave me the most amazing messages. I was introduced to my Inner Critic that day.
I took those messages and watched how my inner critic worked in my life. I saw the times when I put myself down or when others criticized me. My Soul wanted me to see what I was doing to myself.and what I was doing to myself by letting others criticize me.
(The collage on the right is that first SoulCollage card I made. It looks like an Inner Critic wouldn’t you agree?)
 
It was that noticing that turned my life in a new direction. I started attending Sandy’s workshops for myself now. The depth of communication that was developing between me and my Soul made  so much sense to me. I had a new tool to grow and heal.
In 2009 I became a certified SoulCollage Facilitator. I have been making SoulCollage cards and diving into the messages from my Soul since then.
Here is an example of my latest creations and the conversations with my Soul.
 
I AM ONE WHO:
Is The Enthusiasm Keeper
Loves to laugh and play
Sees life in many colors, yet know we are all connected
Let’s joy overflow from my heart
Has a heart vortex around me
Believes in the power of God
Lives in amazement & awareness & knowing
Is grateful for my family
Knows living from the heart is the way
Is still part of you even though you grew up
Knows you are always connected to source, trust that

When I look at the above SoulCollage card it makes me feel happy and reminds me that my enthusiasm is always available for me to tap into.
Here is another SoulCollage card I made last week along with some of the Soul Messages for me.

The Bagua ~ See Your Space With Feng Shui Eyes

by @elioverbey

At one point in a Feng Shui Consultation the Bagua enters, and the way you see your space changes forever. Not only is it a front door or a bedroom, it is a messenger of the invisible forces operating in your life. Your Feng Shui eyes guide you through your space.

There are nine areas in the Bagua, each representing the invisible forces of specific areas in your life i.e. wealth, reputation, health, relationships, life path, creative projects, benefactors, family and your inner magnificence.  The Bagua is placed on a floor plan of your home just like a template so you can identify each area and determine which of the nine areas is in each part of your home.

I Could Not Control Myself

by @elioverbey

I charged into the kitchen, scanning the counter for anything chocolate. The craving was deep in my bell, lik a bull horn screaming to me “Chocolate, chocolate and NOW!” Has that ever happened to you? What is really going on and what does it mean to you? [Read more…]

Yes, It Really Happened

by @elioverbey

Have you ever been focusing on something so much that you lost track of what was going on around you? Or maybe you were curious about what was going on “over there” and directed your attention to what was happening “over there”.

You guessed it, that happened to me and I have to share the story and the Soul message I received on this one with you.

I walk everyday along the waterway near my home. Usually the walk begins with me finding that still place within and then I get fully present and begin to hear the birds chirping, feel the cool air kiss the skin on my face, and notice peace within. I stay present and take in the beauty of nature and life around me.

This day was different. There were construction workers doing some concrete work to the waterway. One guy with a hard hat was driving a small tractor with a load of wet concrete in the front loader on the trail. I saw orange cones marking a space for him and another worker directing him.

Of course I was looking at the tractor and the load of concrete. I was curious about what was happening “over there”. I was focused on everything outside of myself.

And then it happened. I stepped in dog poop. I did not see it and walked right into it. Still unaware of what I had done I kept rubber necking to see what they were doing.

After I passed the workers I got a message to check my shoes. Yep, there it was squished into the waffle soles of my athletic shoes. “Oh no” I said out loud, “not dog poop”.

I started to chuckle as I thought about what had happened.  When I became present to myself again there was a Soul message for me. When I am not present to myself and focus on everything outside of myself, I end up stepping in “it”.

It was a great learning moment for me to remember to be present to myself when doing everything.  Nobody likes stepping in “it”.
