\"Jodi<\/a><\/p>\n

When I sit down to write, I usually start by closing my eyes, taking a deep breath, and asking my soul to share what it most wants me to know.<\/p>\n

And then I wait. Sometimes for a couple of seconds. Sometimes for a couple of minutes. Sometimes for a couple of hours (thankfully it\u2019s rare that it takes this long \u2013 my soul is pretty chatty and usually has no problem speaking up).<\/p>\n

Once I sense that it\u2019s ready to tell me what it most needs me to hear, I keep my eyes closed and begin to type. I allow it to speak through my fingers. I allow my brain to step aside for a moment and simply allow my soul\u2019s wisdom to flow onto the screen.<\/p>\n

I never know what it\u2019s going to share. Sometimes it\u2019s guidance for me. Sometimes it\u2019s guidance for you. And often it\u2019s guidance for all of us.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been writing this way for almost three years. I\u2019ve written thousands of pages using this method. And there always seems to be more that my soul wants me to hear \u2013 that it yearns for me to hear.<\/p>\n

And what it wants me to share now is that we all have this ability to tap into our inner wisdom. All of us. And sometimes all it takes is slowing down and showing up in order to be able to listen to this voice and heed its wisdom.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

We all have a soul \u2013 it\u2019s who we are. It\u2019s our core, our essence, our being, our light, our life. We all have this magical space inside our hearts that is connected to everything, that is pure love, that is infinite wisdom.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

And it\u2019s up to each of us to give ourselves permission to tap into this wisdom, to accept it as truth, to open up to it, and to live by it.<\/p>\n

In all of the years that I\u2019ve been taking dictation from my soul, I have never been led astray. The exact opposite has happened, actually. My life has absolutely opened up and expanded in such beautiful ways because I have bravely listened to and followed my soul\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s taken practice to be able to trust this voice. And it\u2019s taken practice to be able to hear it. It\u2019s softer than a whisper, and it\u2019s deeper than a feeling. You\u2019ll know that you\u2019ve reconnected with your soul when you are filled with an inner knowing that radiates light and all of the goodness in the world.<\/strong> You\u2019ll know because you feel at peace and one with everything and everyone. You\u2019ll know because you will feel pure love flowing through you.<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t already, I would love for you to get reacquainted with your soul.<\/strong> I would love for you to sit down and ask it what it most needs you to know right here in this exact moment. I would love for you to let it know that you\u2019re open to receiving its love and wisdom. And you\u2019re willing to take it into your heart fully and completely.<\/p>\n

I would love for you to give yourself this gift of connecting with your soul.\u00a0My entire life changed in such amazing ways when I did, and I know yours will as well.<\/p>\n

Hugs,<\/p>\n

Jodi<\/p>\n
