Soul

This part of Body Soul Mind is about your inner life: meaning and purpose, intuition and the inner voice, emotions and empathy, grief and loss (including the loss of a pet), and letting go of the past. Spiritual ideas such as the aura or spiritual gifts are described as traditions and beliefs, not as fact, and each guide includes a short grounded view of what can and cannot be known.

Below you will find guides on these topics, along with simple practices such as journaling, gratitude, loving-kindness meditation, an evening review and a letting-go ritual, plus related glossary terms. The soul does not sit apart from the rest of you. Grief can affect sleep and appetite, and lasting symptoms may become depression, where counseling and support groups can help. Rest and movement can make hard feelings easier to carry, and many people find that a sense of meaning grows through spiritual practice.
