What triggers you is the key to finding out your soul purpose.
Is it your fears and anxieties?
Is it something that angers you, frustrates you, confuses you?
Is it a sudden rush of excitement that pulls you in and pushes you away at the same time?
Your soul purpose is energy-based, meaning that it is emotional. Whatever makes you reactive is what is at the center of your soul's purpose.
If you've ever heard the phrase that you need to find out what "feeds your soul," then that is what a soul purpose is. The trick is that sometimes you have to work through your inner obstacles in order to figure out what feeds your soul as you may be inadvertently blocking it out of fear, anger, and anxiety.
Start keeping a journal so you can be more aware of what is triggering you throughout your week. Your trigger may be subtle, or it may be painfully obvious, but intend you work through whatever's blocking you, then you won't know what your soul purpose is. You will dance around it with frustration.
Let's say, for instance, you figure out that the thing that really triggers you is impatient people. Anytime you are in line somewhere, and others are impatient to check out in a hurry, you get annoyed. You hate being rushed. You hate it when the cashier hurries you along. It boils your blood and also makes you sad at the same time.
So why is that a trigger? Think about it deeply. How can that be related to a person's soul purpose? Well, if your soul purpose is to be in awe and wonder over all that life has to offer, then people who can't stop to enjoy that are going to trigger you. You might also feel overwhelmed a lot and use that in your vocabulary. Because, if you think about it, isn't seeing the awe and wonder in life a little bit overwhelming?
Take a look at what trapped emotions are inside you, and that will be the key to figuring out what your soul's purpose is. Remember that a soul purpose is not an action; it is a feeling that you are meant to express as it is at the heart of who you are. It is the essence of your being.
Let's take another example. What if you are always afraid of negative energy, entities, and anything not favorable in your life? So in your life, you are driven by this intense need for safety and live in constant fear of not feeling safe. Maybe you call psychics all the time with online psychic readings to help you identify what is happening around you. Perhaps you work with psychic mediums to help you understand Spirits that you feel may be haunting you. Maybe you do tarot readings for love to find out if your person of interest is safe to date? Your soul purpose is to be the opposite of this. It is to feel trust. Trust others, trust yourself, trust the Universe. In order to trust, you need to let go of control and learn how to center yourself. You would need to let go of all your fears and anxieties.
As you can see, sometimes, our soul purpose can take a lifetime to work through. Even though it is not action-based, in some ways, it may be a lot more work than our life purpose.
A soul's purpose is to exist in a state of fluid energy that is balanced and inspirited. Once activated, it is meant to inspire and encourage others around them to do the same. Understanding and reaching our soul purpose is how we reach our full potential and raise our vibration to the highest level.
Don't be discouraged, though. Once you can see the pattern and accept it, then you can work through it. We are all human beings having a human experience, and it is essential to remember this as you interact with others who are also struggling. Our universal purpose is for all of us to reach a state of unconditional love. We just each have our own unique journeys on how to get there, and we will get there in our own way and time.
There are a lot of things you can do to work through your triggers. Counseling is a great option. You can also seek out healing practitioners such as hypnotherapists that can help you release some of your trapped emotions in the body with specific hypnotic techniques. Reiki Masters can also help you with energy work on the body. EFT (tapping technique) is another method to try to release trapped emotions in the body. Some real psychics can also work with you by tuning in and giving you the spiritual guidance you need as to what methods would work best for you.
