What exactly is the soul? There are many, many
explanations and opinions regarding this matter. To me, the soul is
like the air. You can't see it or touch it, but you know it's
there. You can see the state of a person's soul in art, music,
literature, dance and unfortunately, in the bad things some people
do. You've heard people say that they felt something in their
"gut." Or that something touched their very
"soul." It would seem that the soul houses emotions and
feelings. What I am sure of, and personally all I need to know is
that it's there and it must be cared for if it's expected to thrive.
What
feeds your soul? Is it viewing art, listening to music, engaging in
a hobby or sport, meditating, praying, walking the beach, watching the
sunset, enjoying relationships? Whatever it is that makes your soul
feel good, find time to do it. I believe that when times are
stressful, doing something that feeds your soul can help bring things back
into perspective. I also believe that doing things that feed your
soul can refresh and enhance your very existence. Your soul is a
vital part of who you are.
I
mentioned earlier that all of our parts, Spirit, Soul and Body must be
carefully tended to. If your soul feels empty, find ways to fill it
and make it sing!
