The Soul as Sanctuary

There’s an inherent stillness within us that’s asking to be remembered.

Last night, I guided a group through a journey I called Sanctuary of the Soul. A lot of times, when we think about connecting with the Soul, we think about building something. But this was more about returning to what has always been. The Guides I work with had a message for us. They said:
“This is not a new temple. It has always been. Many of you have simply forgotten the majesty that already resides here.”
We softened. We stilled. We listened.
We cleared the passageways where the soul had been quietly knocking. We cleared old tension grief, and fear. We invited in Rays 2 and 3: (love-wisdom and activity and adaptability). Some worked with one. Some with both. Some simply rested while the energy moved.
There was a moment I offered this reflection:
“You’re doing a beautiful job sending love out into the world. Don’t forget to bring that same love in for yourself.”
And something in the field shifted.
The back of the heart opened. The breath deepened. The soul began to pour in, down and through. Crown to feet, heart to hands, base to Earth Star. We weren’t leaving our bodies. We were inviting the soul to live more fully within them.
We didn’t try to transcend anything; we focused on Embodiment.
We let the soul’s frequency thread itself into our systems: gently, precisely, with respect for what was ready and what was still ripening.
And then, from that anchored place, I asked: “What does your soul wish you to carry forward?”
Some received images. Others, silence. Some felt lighter. Others steadier. Everyone, in some way, returned to themselves.
This work, this return to Self is about making space. It’s about knowing that the light within you is already steady. It’s a reminder that your soul knows the way home. That no matter what the world looks like, you are safe to receive.
And if you're reading this now, perhaps that's your reminder too: You don’t have to be more healed or more ready to live as your soul. You simply have to listen. To soften. To allow.
The sanctuary has always been there. Let yourself dwell within it.
With love,
Leena
