Fabulously Facing Forward: Your Soul in the Credit Crunch

By Christoph Spiessens, Spiritual Life Coach &
Founder of Ankh Mind Body Spirit Centre

You are more than your mind and your body. You are, in essence, a soul. Millions upon millions of years ago we were born from the Source. The Source is also called All That Is, God, etc. This Source is a totally non-denominational energy from which we, as souls, originate. This all-knowing Source birthed our souls in order to gain experience through the soul’s journey. This journey takes place over millions of years and many life times, taking on many different life forms, from primitive to very advanced. As a human being on planet Earth a soul can really accelerate its growth. That is why most, but not all souls, decide to incarnate on our planet. Our world provides many wonderful opportunities for our soul to blossom. Many good and bad things happen to us and we are constantly challenged by life.

Think of all the bad things that ‘happen’ to you. Or realize all the brilliant stuff that’s in your life. How do you deal with it? Are you playing the victim role? Or do you live consciously?

Spirituality can be very useful in times like these where money is tight. The media are always feeding us bad news and the pressure to stay in control and look fabulous is stronger than ever. We start to wonder what life is all about and why the heck we should give so much when we get so little back. You struggle to pay the bills and your relationships are in turmoil.

Realizing that you are more than what you see in the mirror is the key to dealing with life’s challenges. Remember, you are a soul and not just a name in a passport. You chose to be here in order to experience as much as possible to nurture your very essence. Now that you know that, take a look at your life now. See how the things that ‘happen’ to you are more than just nasty situations. They are vital learning opportunities. Embrace them! Each life time you have is a new opportunity to get it right. If you sit still and are scared to make ‘mistakes’ you slow down your soul’s growth. If you put too much pressure on yourself and beat yourself up, there’s a good chance you will need longer to ‘graduate’ from the university that is life.

Many of my coaching clients come to me to talk about money related stress issues.
As a spiritual coach I often share with them my view on what we really are and why we are here. When my clients ‘get’ this and realize that they own a beautiful soul, they begin to feel a wonderful sense of responsibility for looking after this soul.

They start to feel a lot lighter and in charge of their life. Their perspectives on their circumstances begin to change and their hart is filled with joy. This joy comes from understanding that they can fulfill the very reason for being here on this planet. For when they embrace the challenges in their life rather than reject them, they will contribute to their souls’ mission.

So remember that you are, in each life time, an expression of your Soul. And your Soul keeps coming back to perfect itself. So live your life to the full. You have every right to do so. There is no point in exhausting yourself copying others who seemingly have more than you do. They don’t. It is their soul that chose to experience wealth. It can be more taxing than you think.

Now, if you understand what we’ve talked about and you appreciate how the current economical climate provides us with learning opportunities, you may wish to try the following: speak to your soul when you have a moment of peace and quiet. Consult with your true essence and tell it you feel ready to move on in life. Express your desire to embrace more wealth and happiness. Maybe your soul is now ready to do just that. But it will need your permission. You are always in control.

Have fun with this… You can begin right now by asking yourself the following questions: “How will my soul be affected if I stay stuck in my current circumstances?” and “What can I do today to make my soul smile?”
