How to access the door to your soul?

Your soul is always calling you.

It gently points you in the right direction and subtly edging you closer to the things, experiences, and relationships that light you up. The soul’s voice is what you hear whisper quietly to you, “There is more…….”.

But how does one best connect with our soul’s dialogue? Where is the soul’s door? The door that acts as a gatekeeper to our template for living our purpose in sync with our well-being?

Many believe that the door to the soul is opened through right-brain activities.

Right Brain vs. Left Brain

The human brain is divided into two parts - a right and left hemisphere. The two sides of the brain work together most of the time. But they each have their own functions. The left side is designed for logical thinking. It is the side we use when we do the math, figure out logic problems, create order, and have streamlined and controlled linear thinking.

The right side of the brain is for creative and non-logical thinking. It is where stories come from, music, art, poetry, dance, and dreams. It is the side that processes information through feelings, symbols, images, imagination, philosophy, religion, and creative thinking. It is also where our memories of sound, touch, and smell are stored.

To gain further clarity on the hemispheres of the brain and their unique functions. Here are two poems created by Mercedes Benz.

LEFT Brain

I am the left brain.

I am a scientist. A Mathematician.

I love the familiar. I categorize. I am accurate. Linear.

Analytical. Strategic. I am practical.

Always in control. A master of words and language.

Realistic. I calculate equations and play with numbers.

I am order. I am logic.

I know exactly who I am.

RIGHT Brain

I am the right brain.

I am creativity. A free spirit. I am passion.

Yearning. Sensuality. I am the sound of roaring laughter.

I am taste. The feeling of sand beneath bare feet.

I am movement. Vivid Colors.

I am the urge to paint an empty canvas.

I am boundless imagination. Art. Poetry. I sense. I feel.

I am everything I wanted to be.
