Donna Owens
She has to answer the call
When she finally surrendered
all the old ways of being
all the old ways of doing
all the versions of who she should be
all the things she thought she should do
all the living from external expectations
When she finally laid her mind to rest
her soul cracked open
and whispered
"let me show you the way"
For she wasn't here to follow the crowd
her soul and light isn't to fit into a box
She isn't here to just exist
to do what others wish her to do
to be who the world told her she had to be
and she felt it
deep in her heart
a yearning to break free
to spread her wings
and to be who she's truly meant to be.
She has to answer the call
the call of her soul
to stop following the old programming
and toxic ways of the world
She has to let her soul lead
to guide her on her way
to uncover all the soul gifts she holds
the magic within her heart
and it won't be easy
she will lose a lot along the way
but the shredding of the old
makes way for new love to unfold.
She has to be brave
to learn to say no
to learn to trust
to follow what gives her soul peace
and to follow what makes her heart sing
to always be in tune with the song of her soul.
Her soul is her compass
her guiding light
all the wisdom of lifetimes are buried in her chest
all she ever needs
all of who she really is
is waiting for her to discover
she just has to answer the call
the call of her soul.
Heartfulness Journaling Practice:
Take some quiet time with a notebook and some relaxing music
and sit with your soul for a while.
Take some deep breaths and quiet your mind, focus on your heart space as you ponder and open to the following journal prompts:
Am I living to my soul truths?
Am I living/being/doing what others want from me?
What is it my soul yearns for?
what makes me happy?
What will give me peace?
What steps can I take to follow my soul?
