In the last 20 years of coaching, training, healing and mentoring people I have come to realize that many of us do not feel our Soul Seeds. What are Soul Seeds?  Soul Seeds are the very seeds given to you upon your conception that you first must discover. These seeds allow you to grow into a truly enlightened being of compassion and servitude that manifest into happiness and bliss so that we may truly enjoy our vacation here on earth. All of us have several soul seeds that correspond to our 7 missions in life. These seeds are as unique as we are.

How do you discover your soul seeds?

First, you must get quiet. The soul does not yell above the chatter of your mind.  The soul is a quiet sacred place that whispers its secrets to those who breathe softly, forever listening rather than talking. Some call this meditation. Some call this heaven. Some call this a place of where love is born. It doesn’t matter what semantics are attached. In order to discover you soul seeds you must first learn to be quiet so that the truth (Gandhi said that God was truth) can whisper in your ear. Some might call this the Holy Spirit, the very energy that flows in man allowing him to do wondrous things for others – in other words to serve. Have you been practicing being quiet? Or do mayhem and the crises de jour run your life?

Souls seeds also need watering. What waters souls seeds?  Actions water the seeds. Water is always flowing, sometimes falling high from mountaintops to sea level, sometimes rising up to kiss the sky in the form of evaporation, but always descending back to earth where it can do the most good and illicit the most change. In Chinese Medicine we look at water as Chaos. Chaos is not mayhem, but the opportunity for all things to manifest. All possibilities and all miracles can happen in an instant. That is what Chaos is.

What actions are you putting forth to water your seeds this year?

Seeds also need fertile soil. The soil is your mind. What do you recycle in your mind?  Kindness? Optimism? Compassion? What do you read to cultivate new ideas, growth, and peace? How do you process the shit that lands at our feet daily? Do you welcome it or curse it? The daily shit can become wonderful fertilizer in the form of teachings and lessons. All of this gets recycled into the very thing that allows you to serve yourself and others better. Fertile soil also needs aerated to be effective. You must mix and stir the fertilizer into the other soil so that the nutrients become evenly spread and not too concentrated (which can burn the seeds) but integrated into something greater than the individual parts.  This is where you analytical mind comes into play, taking life’s prior teachings and lessons and integrating them into this new fertilizer, thereby allowing new possibilities and growth to occur.

All good stewards of the land need help now and then. I have dedicated my life to helping people discover their Soul Seeds. Perhaps we can farm the seeds together this year?
