The weather has turned. The hours of light through the day have reduced. How are you navigating this change? At Soul Matters we honour the cycles of change through rest. This is not something that we always find easy. In fact it has taken time and we still find ourselves resisting the stillness of rest. This world is frenetic so taking time to rest may seem impossible or even selfish. We have noticed throughout the years, especially since Soul Matters was established in 2022, that the more we allowed ourselves the time to rest the better we were able to navigate the challenges of life. Rest is resistance and it is radical act in a time where doing is rewarded. How we speak also honours what we do rather than who we are. What are you plans for the weekend? What do you do? What did you do last night? You get the picture.

Recently at a Restshop we reflected on words and how we use our words. Words are wands and hold magic power. We reflected on how we can use our words to set powerful intentions. Intentionally honouring the words we use to change the beliefs we have been conditioned to believe. One of these beliefs is around who we are and how that is caught up in what we do. What if we could change this? What if we started to rest into who we are at a soul level. The soul has nothing to do with what you do. The soul wants you to remember who you are without the doing, without the constant need for gratification, without the busyness of the modern world.

Rest opens the portal to your soul. Rest allows you look deeper into who you are. Who you are before the world told you who you are supposed to be. These may seem like deep reflections. Yet through rest they are gentle portals to becoming who you were always meant to be. Who you were always meant to be. Not who you were always meant to do. The magic of words you speak intentionally to weave a new reality. We are in the final few weeks of Samhain before we enter the deep stillness of the Dreamtime at the Winter Solstice. What magic would you like to weave with your intentions for these last few weeks?
