The song of soul

The song of soul is an invitation.

It is an invitation

to find a new song to sing.

Once you have opened yourself
to the song,

once you have made it your own,

it will change you

from the inside out.

It will pierce you with longing.

It will inhabit your dreams.

It will take down walls

you did not know you had built.

It will show you paths

you had not seen before.

It will take you to places

you could not have imagined.

It will sing you to freedom.

It will dance you to joy.

It is the song of soul

and it has been calling you home

from the day you were born.

long journey into yourself?

Jalāl ad-Dīn Rumi

This website is for those of us who have heard the song of soul whispering in our ear. It is for those of us who live with the conviction that ‘there must be something more’ to life, to ourselves, who feel drawn to turn inwards, to embark on a deeper journey of discovery, to learn to live a deeper, more fulfilling life. It is an invitation to make ‘that long journey into yourself’ of which the 13th century Sufi mystic and poet, Rumi spoke so long ago. I call it the soul journey.

The soul journey is a journey into the landscape of our inner being. It is a long, slow process of transformation that changes us from the inside out. It asks nothing less than that we dive deep down inside ourselves to find the inner treasure that lies at the very core of our being. The further along this path we travel, the more we become aware that something within us is changing, that a quiet revolution is slowly taking place. The change is radical. It touches every aspect of our being and penetrates to the very core of it. It strips away that which is false to allow that which is real and true to emerge. It makes us aware of that which limits or constricts us so that we might fully embrace our freedom.

If we give ourselves unreservedly to it, this quiet revolution will transform us from the inside out. And it brings with it a deep-rootedness, a strong sense of 'at homeness' and an inner reservoir of peace, joy and hope. For the soul is our best self. It is our deepest, truest and most fully human self. It is our intuitive, creative and most deeply loving self. It is our sacred, spiritual self and it is beyond beautiful. It is the self we long to be, the self we are meant to be. It is the self that has been calling us home from the day we were born.

The soul journey is a little like the gradual opening out of a lotus flower bud. Protected by the sepal that encases it, the bud remains dormant for some time and when it finally begins, its opening out is a slow and steady process of unfolding. As each layer of petals unfurls, more of the flower's inner landscape becomes visible. The deep down beauty of it is revealed. It becomes. And so it is with us.

My hope is that this blog will empower and resource you in finding your own way home to soul, that it will cast some welcome light on the path ahead and offer you some companions along the way. For there is nothing more important, more freeing and more joyful than coming home to the person we are meant to be and finding the song we are meant to sing.
