how do feel the soul?
In our modern era, many people are not connected to their
soul, and only think and live using their conscious mind. That part
of us is only concerned about personal survival and protection.
That is why in many modern relationships that fail, the reasons are
often due to 'surface matters' such as lack of money, job security,
good looks, high status, etc. The natural survival instincts of
people are to find a partner who can offer the most benefits
to provide the best possible life.
When one is connected to his/her soul, they will be feeling
genuine unconditional love for each other, regardless of what
challenges exist in their relationship.
To connect with and feel one's soul, we need to truly live
from our heart, not with our mind. The conscious mind has a
'built-in logic/program' that will automatically think of how
to gain the most benefits for ourselves at all times. If we're
still a hunter or farmer, that sort of thinking might be useful.
But when we use that mode in our relationships, it is very hard for
our relationships to last, and will be unable to stand the test of
time and life challenges.
When things go badly, eg. husband lose his job, husband lost his
legs in an accident, husband is stuck in low-paying job while other
men are doing better and better, wife suddenly has cancer, wife put
on lots of weight after childbirth so is no longer pretty as
before, etc, that is when many people's conscious mind start
prompting them that they are no longer receiving sufficient
benefits, and causing a problem for themselves, so it is time to
move on to greener pastures.
If everyone can start learning to manage their conscious
mind, so that it does not attempt to control every aspect of their
lives, it will really change their lives for the better. We all
need our conscious mind for things like work or studies, but when
it comes to matters of the heart, we need to make the effort to use
our soul to feel, not our conscious mind to think.
By regularly quieting our conscious mind when it is not
needed through simple breath meditation or quiet self-reflection
will help train our conscious mind to relax and stop its
auto-controlling mechanism. When our mind is at its quietest, that
is when we can connect to our soul, our true essence, the part of
us that truly understands Unconditional Love. :)
