Your Soul Family

We seek calmness and the wisdom to be found there by building and painting a soul map back to our unconscious mind or soul. We seek to show others how to do it. The Your Soul Family (YSF) logo represents transformation and learning.

A soul map is a geometric picture that represents you and the key people in your life along with the relationships you have and the key life lessons you may be learning.

Your soul map: 2 ways to design your soul map

Some people like to take their template and jump straight in with colouring.  Others like to consider the template and where the important people in their life should sit within it before they start to colour.  The choice of approach is yours.

If you decide to take the time to consider the layout of your soul map, the questions you might want to ask yourself are;

  • Who are the important people in my life?
  • Where would I place an individual on my soul map?
  • What are the relationships between individuals?
  • Do they have an important relationship with me?
  • Is a life lesson being learnt?
  • Who is helping with the life lesson?
  • Is there a natural grouping of individuals e.g. grandfather and grandson, cousins who always gather together at family functions? If so place them together in your soul map.

Often life lessons show themselves as repeated challenges.  For me my life lesson was about defining and maintaining my personal boundaries.  Before I realised this I had a series of very challenging managers, each getting progressively worse.  I really wondered what I had done to deserve them.  When I realised that they were helping me to learn a life lesson, I approached the situation differently and managed it much better.  My next two managers were wonderful so I must have gone someway to learning my lesson. read more

Spring Greetings

Mother Nature stirs

I love spring time.  It is always a time of great promise.  The days have grown longer, the sun shines brighter and the air begins to warm. Spring is a time of new life; baby animals are born and the plant life stirs from the winter sending out wonderful new greenery.

We humans also respond to the awakening energies of Mother Nature.  It is a good time of year to contemplate where you are in life and what change you might like to bring into your life.  Are there any new projects to start, changed life styles to embrace or a new friend to meet?  It is a time of old chapters finishing in your story of life and fresh new chapters starting. read more

First workshop – we have done it!

Finding your Soul Family through painting your Soul Map

website-image-size-20161202

We had a great day on the 27th November learning to create our soul maps.  This was the first run through of this workshop but all worked well.  The meditation was relaxing and enhanced our inspiration and creativity.  The approach to exploring our life lessons were found to be thought provoking.  Everyone found the painting enjoyable, calming and let the inner child express him/herself.

Meet Wang, a Tibetan monk

Recently I met a Tibetan monk called Wang.  He is a man with great humour and wisdom.  I do not have a picture of him but I think of him as in the picture of the Tibetan monk in this article.

In the Tibetan culture Wang means empowerment. An empowerment is a ritual which initiates a student into a particular practice. A tantric practice is not considered effective until a master has transmitted the corresponding Wang (power) of the practice directly to the student. As part of the preliminary practices before a student even begins the actual practices, the teacher introduces the student to the ‘mandala’ of the deity. read more
