The heart of Soul Stirring
Soul Stirring is based on the premise that most of us play smaller than we know ourselves capable, we marginalize our magnificence, we suffocate our spark, we shrink to fit in.
Soul Stirring is about Showing Up! It’s about showing up with Divine Presence… brought by opening up and embracing the Divine Gift (Spark) within each of us.
Each of us, every human being, has a Divine Spark within, a Gift from G-d, from a Higher Power, from a Universal Energy. When we play small, when we fail to show up in all our Glory, we neglect, overlook, and ignore the Divinity within ourselves. We weren’t given our Gifts to ignore them. On the contrary, we were given our Gifts to bring them to bear in the world, to open them up and share them! How? Show Up! Show Up with the Divine Presence which comes from living into the greatness of our Gifts. Show Up. Play bigger. Honor the Divinity within. Unwrap and share your Gifts.
Showing Up (Playing Bigger)
Soul Stirring is about Showing Up. Showing Up means living in a way which allows, encourages, and supports our Divine Spark to burn as brightly as we desire. Showing Up means fanning the flame of our Divine Spark in ways that let us live more alive. When we live more alive we are bringing our greatest selves to bear and to be in the world. Living more alive, playing bigger than we are used to being, we radiate and attract an energy of Divine Presence… we Show Up with Divine Presence.
The Journey
The work of Soul Stirring takes us on a journey, a journey of soulful exploration and discovery. A journey only each of us can take for ourselves, uniquely our own, yet a journey which must be traveled in amazing relationships, partnership and connection with others. I believe the greatest catalyst, alchemy if you will, to showing up, to playing bigger, to shining brighter, to fanning the flame of our Divine Spark, lives in the practice of compassionate dialogue, Divine dialogue. Only in the magic of human connection, in the presence of the Divinity of another, can we truly begin to see the Divinity within ourselves. Fundamentally, Soul Stirrers are Soul Seekers.
Soul Stirring navigates a journey, a soul stirring journey of opening up our Gifts and sharing them with the world. HOW we Show Up in the world is the greatest gift we can give.
Showing Up lives on the other side of fear. Our greatest light will only shine through our greatest darkness. Only when we’re willing to face (engage) that which tears us in two are we truly able to be whole
“Strange Is Our Situation Here on Earth”
This passage by physicist Albert Einstein comes from “My Credo,” an article he wrote in 1932, which is cited here.
Strange is our situation here on Earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that man is here for the sake of other men — above all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness depends.
