HONOURING
THE CONTRACTS OF THE SOUL
Now
for something a little different! I like to stretch my clients a
bit, encouraging them to see the bigger picture of their journey. It is
so easy to hand our power over to others, including astrologers, and
from the word go, I have been keen to educate rather than spoon feed
people wit regard to being a creator
in their life, and certainly when it comes to them making decisions.
When I work with
clients, a question I often get asked is – “am I supposed to be in this
job, relationship, country, situation?” One or all of those areas
of life are mentioned
with regularity. It is easy to remind them of their free will, and to ask
them, “What do you feel at the heart level?” And of course that is
better than making what amounts to a predictive answer which may or may
not be an accurate or wise one!
Over time, I have become more and more of
a believer and acceptor that the soul has contracts to fulfill in life,
and not just the legal ones! If we take into account the pre-existence
of the soul before birth, and even that the soul travels through the
stream of time –reincarnation - then it makes sense that the higher self may well commit to
agreements for the coming incarnation.
After birth the memory generally fades
regarding this and we find ourselves in situations, relationships
and services to others which often feel either too short lived (not all
contracts are supposed to last forever,) or too long lived. We find
ourselves getting locked into obligations, fears of loss, comfort zones
etc, and we don’t let the soul have a say regarding the right
time for contracts to start, be re-negotiated or be released. We have
forgotten what we set up before birth!
Nature knows instinctively when to shed
skins, and renew, but we humans can so easily drag old ‘skins’ into the
future.
In my work, whether with individuals or
in a workshop setting, you get the opportunity to look at the TIMINGS of
these contracts. We look at what has perhaps reached its ‘sell by date,’
and needs either to end, or have change within it, (usually when you are feeling consistently toxic or tired in a
situation.) What are you are ready to enter into is the next step
to work with.
Another fascinating area I explore with
my clients is that of ancestry and your role and drama within it.
Entering a family line is like taking on a family shield - as in
heraldry - and is a Contract. Getting perspective on the role(s) you
played in childhood, whether they be scapegoat, peacemaker, rebel,
outsider, black sheep or hero etc, is important so as to take a look at
whether you are still doing it in adult life! Breakthroughs occur when
we heal ourselves of certain patterns. Family dynamics undergo
changes as a result.
I use guided imagery to help you
recognize where you are with your soul in time. The cycles in your
astrological chart are immensely helpful in this respect.
Sometimes we have temporary contracts – a
bit like ‘temping work’ – with people and places. I would like to share
with you something I do regarding this. I find it invaluable as I travel
a lot with my work as well as for pleasure.
Next time you go travelling, make sure
that just as you arrive, you inwardly – outwardly if preferred, taking
into account there may be people around you – speak to the Spirit of
that place. Say your name and why you have come there and ask it to
protect you and support you during your time, in matters of health, relationships, money making, etc. And state that in return you will do
what you can to help its people if called upon. Believe me, it works every
time. You have set up a short term contract with that place. A
reciprocal one. I always thank the Spirit of the country when I leave.
See below for an outline of a workshop I
run. I am happy to run this for groups for up to 15 participants when
invited.
Soul Contracts
Workshop
What
are Soul contracts? When and where do they start and end? How did they
begin? Why have we chosen specific roles and 'services' to one another in
this lifetime? Are they up for renewal or release? What is the greatest
gift we can offer?
This
workshop will awaken the awareness of the contracts we've made throughout
Time, putting into context the journey of the Soul along its path of
re-incarnation, and the pre-birth agreements we've made with our ancestral
lineage and present-day family and partnerships.
The
horoscope is 'Our Soul's contract with Time and Space'. Our birth time
reveals links with cycles from the past and sets into motion future
cycles. Encoded within us is the map of our lineage – our Soul's contracts
with the Stream of Time. We will explore this map, so you can make sense
of where you are NOW in your relationships with others. How you can honour
their higher selves and your own, rather than perhaps reaching points
where you live in trapped roles, or with recurring feelings such as
confusion, duty, guilt and neediness.
With
the insights gained on this workshop, you will come to your own
realisations and sense of Soul-timing, thereby making clearer choices and
freeing yourselves and others on the journey of the Soul.
