7 Secrets to a Soul-Full Life

By: Cathy Brennan Prosperity Coach

These are the 7 secrets to a soul-full life. Experiencing meaningful prosperity is available to
everyone! If you choose it, yes, that means YOU too. Incorporate these tips into your
everyday life and you will be amazed at the results.
Here is tip number 1:

Align - Whatever you focus on expands; if you constantly think there's not enough....guess
what there isn't. By focusing on what's good and the abundance you already have, you create
fertile ground for creating more abundance. Aligning your energy with your desires is
critical; your reality always resonates with the energy you're putting out, consciously and
unconsciously. See yourself as successful, whatever that looks like for you; great
relationships, a booming business, personal fulfillment, money, house, car, really envision
your life as you want it to be, feel what it feels like and reduce your resistance. You will begin
to experience synchronistic events that help bring it to reality.
Coaching Action:
Identify something you wish to manifest and focus 5 minutes of positive thought on it each
day
Tip #2:
Authenticity - This is all about walking your talk. People instinctively know when someone
isn't being authentic. You can feel that disconnect. When your thoughts, words, feelings, and
actions are not congruent, you're not walking your talk. It also consumes a large amount of
energy, just like telling a lie you have to keep track of it all. When you're authentic you have
all that energy to devote to fulfilling your dreams. Being authentic means being real, it
requires that you be conscious of how you're showing up in the world. It also requires some
vulnerability and humility, the ability to move past your ego.
Coaching Action:
For the next 24 hours write down areas of your life that you are being authentic and those that
you are not. Celebrate the areas you are being authentic. Choose 1 area where you aren't being
authentic and take some action.

Here is Tip #3:

Courage - By moving through fears to take an action, speak the truth, be authentic, or try
something new, you are beginning a transformation. Often times when working toward a
dream or goal you encounter stumbling blocks like limiting beliefs and old behavior patterns.
When you lose touch with the present moment, these stumbling blocks become mountains
that stop us in our tracks. It takes courage to persevere, look at the blocks and find a way

around, over or through them. Courage is the ability to step through the fog of fear and be
authentic, stand for your values, embrace your unique brilliance, and live your soul purpose.
Coaching Action:
Remember a time when you acted courageously. Write down the memory. Over the next 2
days look for ways to stregthen your courage muscle.

Here is Tip #4:

Connect - Connecting to a higher power; the universe, God, Spirit, source energy,
whatever you choose to call it, is foundational to living a soul-filled life. When you connect
with the inner stillness inside you you're able to tap into infinite wisdom. It becomes possible
to move past the ego and hear your soul purpose. You can see the interconnectedness of all
things and still come from a place that isn't dependant on outside influences. When you are
connected or centered you're living on Purpose.

Coaching Action:
Over the next 2 days every time you feel worried, anxious, or frazzled take a 1 - 2 minute
break to breathe. Simply close your eyes and take 10 deep slow breaths, pausing a moment
before you exhale. Notice how you feel afterwards.

Here is Tip #5:

Fun - Fun is a top priority for soul-full people. It makes you feel good and feeling good
attracts more things to feel good about (positive energy flow). When you're living a soul-filled
life it feels good. The higher vibration feelings like joy, happiness, enthusiasm, and
appreciation resonate with the similar vibrational feelings or energy. By adding fun into the
mix you're moving your energy in positive flow and attracting more of the same. So be a little
silly, have some fun, let your hair down, sing in the shower, play a game, skip down the street,
do what ever is fun for you. Infusing fun into every day improves your health, makes you
happier, more productive, and more efficient.

Coaching Action:
Over the next 2 days add a little bit of fun into your morning, afternoon, and evening. It can
be a joke, taking 5 minutes to swing on a swing, singing along with your favorite song,
whatever makes you feel good. Notice how the difference in the flow of your day.

Here is Tip #6:

Choice - In all things we have a choice, by recognizing and actively choosing you move
more quickly toward success. Most of us recognize choice when it comes to what color shirt

or what do you want to eat, but it's more difficult to recognize that you have a choice about
how you feel. When something goes wrong you can choose to blame or you can choose to
learn from it. You have a choice on how you view something ie: glass half empty or half full.
You can choose to act or to take no action. Acknowledging that you have a choice helps keep
you in the present moment. Consciously choosing to be happy or focused keeps the ball in
your court and allows you to create your day.
Coaching Action: At each meal for the next two days stop for a moment and consciously
choose how you want to feel in the next few hours and notice how this shifts your energy.

Here is Tip #7:

Expressing - How you show up in the world is how you're expressing yourself. What gets
you going? Where does your passion live? Expressing yourself is about bringing your unique
brilliance to the world. Connecting the why you do the things you do with how your doing
them. It's your soul purpose expressed in the real world. This doesn't have to be a grand
gesture, by infusing the little things with your soul purpose you have a big impact. Each of the
previous secrets is a piece of the puzzle. How you express your soul purpose into physical
reality, is a combination of choosing to align authentically while remaining connected and
sprinkling some fun in for good measure.
Coaching Action: Make a list of your top 3 passions, things you just love, that really get you
fired up. Now find little ways to add them into every day life. Keep a list handy so you see it
regularly to remind you.

Feeling the Energy

Many people can feel the energy of a chakra, some can not. Often it takes a little practice.
Start by taking a few deep breaths and hold a hand over one of your chakras about 8 inches
away. Gradually move your hand closer until you can feel a warm sensation, keep your eyes
closed and try to feel any movement in the warmth(chakra energy).
If you can't feel it just try again aonther time or with another chakra. If this one does'nt
resonate with you try the breathing activity. As you get e feel for your chakras you will be
able to tell where the energy is slow and can focus your attention there.

Breathe
Get comfortable, keeping arms and legs uncrossed. Take 3 deep cleansing breaths in
through your nose and out your mouth.
Now breathe in slowly starting at the first chakra(root) and moving up through each
chakra. (you may need more than one breathe to get through all 7 chakras). Imagine
the breath moving through the chakra up to the next one.
After one cycle through the chakras, start again breathing in through the first chakra
and notice if the breath flows easily or if there is resistance.
Again move through all 7 chakras. The areas that you felt resistance are the chakras
needing balancing.

Understanding how energy works in your body can

help you decipher your individual bodys unique
language. The chakras are the energy centers in the
physical body where your beliefs and emotions are
transformed into your state of health.
As you study each of your chakras, youll discover
how your family legacy together with your current
thoughts, feelings, and beliefs can directly affect the
health of your tissues and organs.
Whether you believe in chakras as literal places in
the body or as metaphoric ones, they can help you
activate mind/body connections to help you heal.

Each of the seven chakras of the human body is

associated with specific organ systems and specific
emotional states:

The SeVenth cHakra

Chakra Hierarchy
Somewhat like Dr. Abraham Maslows Hierarchy of Needs which moves from survival, to
sex, to emotional well-being, etc., the chakras have a similar hierarchy.

The first chakra at the base of the spine vibrates with the energy of safety and
security.

The second chakra across from the genitals holds the energy of sex, procreation and
creativity.

The third chakra at the solar plexus carries the energy of emotional expression.

The fourth chakra at the heart vibrates love.

The fifth chakra is at the throat and holds the energy of communication.

The sixth chakra is at the third eye between the brows and holds energy for
insight, awareness and wisdom.

The seventh chakra is at the crown of the head and and helps us open to our
spirituality.

Using Chakras for Healing

Most people who are familiar with the chakras do not realize that you can activate and
amplify the energy of the chakras to assist yourself and others for the purpose of healing.
Since energy follows thought, when you put your attention into the chakras, you are also
bringing energy there. Since breath carries the life-force energy, breathing may also amplify
the energy. When you have learned to link powerful body awareness exercises with focused
breathing, and vortex the chakras, the energy you generate becomes remarkable.
