Your Soul's Journey Part 1 #249

Your soul chose this life for a reason—you chose it. The joys, the heartbreaks, the strange synchronicities… they all belong to a bigger story your soul is telling. In this episode, we talk about what goes into your soul’s pre-birth planning, how turning points are chosen, and what your body, culture, and genetics have to do with it.

Your life is a dance between destiny and choosing your own adventure.  How you move through it says a lot about you, your growth, and your consciousness.

Hey there, Kindred Spirits. Welcome to Modern Life and Spirit Podcast. I'm Christina Wooten, certified psychic medium at SedonaMedium.com Welcome to our episode today. I'm so glad that you are here. We have a lot to talk about. As we discuss pre incarnation planning, we are going to be understanding more about what our souls choose before we incarnate into this life, and how that impacts the life that unfolds for us. And just to give you a heads up, this is going to be part one of a two part series, because we have a lot to cover today. We're looking at how your soul chose this life, and in the next episode, we're going to explore how that plan can shift and evolve during an incarnation itself. One of the most common questions that I get sometimes as a medium is, why would my soul choose this, especially when life feels really messy or painful or it's just confusing and just don't seem to be getting what the purpose is? And it's a very valid question. In fact, I remember when I was 17, and I was working as an administrative assistant at a company, and there was a woman that I worked with whose sister was undergoing pretty significant autoimmune issues, and she was sharing a little bit more about things that were happening in her sister's health journey, and one of my responses had been that when we take on bodies with these very big challenges, it really indicates that that person has a very brave soul, something that I really admire and find powerful. What this person took from that was, how dare I say that their sister chose this path and chose this form of suffering, which I understand that direction and perspective now as a wiser person, much further down the line than 17. So it is important to share this with those that are ready to hear this information and ready to understand why we choose some of the things that we do. One of the things to understand is that our soul is not afraid of discomfort. Your soul is not fragile in any way. It is aware of its eternal nature, that all suffering here on the earth plane is, in some levels, an illusion. It is a real, lived experience that we are having as people, but not in a way that affects the wholeness of the soul and its energy itself, and that translates to learning, to growth, to deeper compassion and understanding from the soul's perspective. But that suffering really doesn't transfer to the soul itself. Our soul is also incredibly brave and wise and loves fiercely and is enthusiastic about the kind of growth that we can achieve here on the earth plane. Knowing that, you know, suffering is temporary, what I think is amazing is that our souls come into this physical form, not because they have to, not because they're just booted out and like all right, it's your time. You gotta go. You gotta get out of here, but because we want to grow. We want to experience and to expand. And Earth is really like the Olympic training ground for souls. It's incredibly intense, but the growth potential that we can experience is phenomenal. We are here to experience the things that we cannot experience in spirit form that it's difficult to experience without a human body, with the perception of physical limitations. When we are in an experience on the other side of oneness of instant manifestation and creation, it's hard to understand things. Things like process, right or grief, heartbreak, parenting, friendship, illness, the experience of success and failure, beauty, romantic love and all the many varied forms that there are of love, these are all an important part in the soul's evolution, in understanding the experiences and the aspects of being that can be expressed in creation. So before you were born, your soul essentially said, All right, I'm going in. And they said it with a big, excited voice, and everybody cheered and was enthusiastic for you and ready to celebrate your journey into the unknown. You were ready for whatever it is that the life that you're in right now has to teach you. So some of the first things that our souls line up for us is our physical body and the family which will be born into. So our body is really the temple. It is a sacred vessel, and it's not random. So your appearance is not random. It's matched with your soul's vibrations and also with the intentions of what it is that you're choosing to really learn and grow within. So usually, in each lifetime, we have several themes that we're exploring, and there's a variety of different ways that those themes will show up in different forms within our life, and it can be very complex. It's hard for us to understand from a human perspective how perfectly every experience is feeding directly into each of these themes that we are here to learn. But when we look at things from the Spirit perspective, absolutely nothing is random. What I've been so amazed by is my spirit guides have shared that even things as small as who stands in front of you in the line at the grocery store and who stands behind you at the line in the grocery store, that those are based on our vibrational rates and our energy and all of that is a part of this grand, powerful mystery that's happening around us all of the time. I mean that level of detail is wild, right? So our body and its potential challenges, its weaknesses, its strengths, are all part of allowing us to express some of these themes more fully, or help us to understand or build compassion in areas where we might need extra help, the influence also of things like ancestry and genetics can be really important as well, and this plays a role, and sometimes we have people who are adopted. So maybe the genetic code of the parents or parent in whichever case, whether somebody is fully adopted or adopted by a single parent, can be very important to that particular soul, that they need that genetic code, but the circumstances, perhaps, that they are raised under may need to be different than what that genetic code and the parents who provide that genetic information might allow. So we have these places where we know genetics are really important, but also the family dynamics and how those dynamics play out within the family group are also incredibly important towards our soul growth. Families are really chosen for the lessons that we can learn within the family. Sometimes it can be also about healing ancestral patterns that come through the genetic line, or even karma balancing. So other than the body and the importance of genetics and family that's been chosen, you're also going to, as a soul, create a blueprint, a general blueprint, for this particular life. You're working with your spirit guides to understand more acutely the things that you need to learn, where you need to grow, and at that point, you'll begin to create the concept of major life events and how that might potentially shape you or give you the opportunity to learn, grow or practice some of the things that you've been learning, this is going to influence also your soul contracts, so contracts that you've made with other people, perhaps from past lives. So maybe there's something that still needs to be worked out between the two of you that is also going to be in your blueprint as a. Well or destined meetings, so times where you need to meet a certain person at a certain time for a certain reason. So, for example, a spiritual teacher can be a destined meeting that is also included in the soul's blueprint. These sort of major life events that I've shared here are like anchor points. So these are significant points along your path that are really designed to maintain their integrity. So once you come into this lifetime, you've really committed to those major life events. So for example, a divorce can be part of a major life event. Perhaps that's something that you needed to learn, or you were serving the other person by helping them to learn. Or it can be an area where there's some unresolved karma, and that was the way that it needed to be resolved for some reason. And our major life events, a lot of times when we think about this from a soul blueprint perspective, people are thinking about kind of the negative things that happened in our life. You know, maybe there's a foreclosure or bankruptcy or a lost business, and you know, those would all be great examples of anchor points. But also joyous occasions are also part of anchor points so that can be marriages, it can be births. It can be wonderful accomplishments. It can be awards, acknowledgements, completions of education, completions of something that you perhaps, have carried from a previous life, that you always wanted to fulfill. And you know, in the previous times you haven't had a chance to do. And this is the life that you've chosen to be able to do it. That can all be another example of different types of anchor points. And then we have these flexible places which are worked into the blueprint as well. So this is, I like to think of it like those, choose your own adventure books options. So it's like, well, you can choose a or you can choose B, and then that determines where you go further along the path. So that gives you a lot of option for free will. Our soul contracts also govern our spirit guides and those that are coming into our life to help us. Some of our teachers and spiritual teachers who come into our life are mentors that show up in other ways, even the people that are here to challenge us. Sometimes we're going to think that they're here to just make our lives hard or make things difficult. You know, really they are making us dig deep, or, you know, go beyond our limitations, to keep growing. It's those people that really get under our skin and seem very frustrating. Those are people that we generally have contracted with, and it doesn't mean that they are holding that same role for us when we're on the other side. They could be a member of our soul family, and we could be best friends on the other side, but they're just carrying a role of service to you in this lifetime of being a little thorn in your side, for example, part of our Blueprint is also some of the talents that you want to express that are going to help you to be able to achieve the goals that you have for this lifetime and continue to Set yourself up for greater learning. Now, you may have planned to experience betrayal as part of your soul growth, but how that shows up, when it shows up, how long it affects you? That aspect is flexible, so that's the dance between our soul plan and also our human will, which are interacting together during this lifetime. Here's where it gets really interesting. Even with all of this pre birth planning, your chart isn't fully set in stone. It really lives and breathes with you as you are developing your vibration this lifetime as well, which is kind of evolving, growing, shifting, changing. It's very dynamic response, and it responds to how you are aligning your life with natural law, so those universal energies that govern everything in creation. And if you're not familiar with natural law, we have done several episodes diving really deeply into natural law. I strongly encourage you to just do a quick search and listen to those podcast episodes that we've put out about natural law, because it will really phenomenally impact your life to begin using these laws to your growth and to your support in this lifetime, when you live in alignment with natural law, when you keep your frequency high, when you are intentional and focused, you are more likely to move through the lessons that you are presented from your blueprint with grace. When. You ignore things like the law of cause and effect and keep repeating patterns that don't serve you, you might find the same painful lessons just keep showing up again and again and again. So the soul gives a lot of choice, and there's also structure as well. So together they're co creating this journey that you are taking in this lifetime. So let's bring it full circle. Before you were born, your soul. Chose this body and its challenges, chose this family and the associated dynamics, chose your key lessons, themes and soul agreements for this lifetime wove in flexibility for your free will and also trusted you to put into practice what you have already learned from your previous lives and expand further on all of that your soul also worked with your Spirit Guides to push yourself in different areas, and also sometimes to modify your blueprint to be more compassionate with yourself. Sometimes we get into the spirit world, and we're in the power of our true energy. We're really in the sense of unity with all things, and feel somewhat separated from the experience, the very human experience that we are going to have with these deep, profound emotions when we return here on the earth plane. And as a result, we can get very ambitious, sometimes with our blueprint in our chart, and try and squeeze in quite a bit to go, Oh, I'm going to really do an amazing job learning about these themes this lifetime. And we're going to add this and this and this and this and this to the point where you might not give yourself the break that we need on the human level. We need space in between our lessons to be able to fully integrate to practice, to rebuild ourselves, to rebuild our strength to ground, to understand the different levels of vibration that we are experiencing moment to moment, and as we make big changes, we need to be able to institute those experience process and understand how those changes are impacting how we feel and what we manifest and what we create. That's part of the learning itself, is what happens after whatever we've integrated and seeing the connection between those things. So sometimes, in that soul space of feeling so powerful and like love drunk on the other side, we are so separated from the human aspect that we over pack our chart. And that's when our guides really step in for us, and they say, Wait a minute. We need to bring more self love to this. We need to bring more care. We need to bring more joy. You. We have joy guides, and your joy guides before your incarnation will really look at this and go. You've got all of this. Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy, trauma, trauma, trauma. Where is the joy. Where are you expanding your heart? Where are your awe moments? Where is the opportunities for gratitude, for feeling yourself at the top of a mountain, for knowing what success feels like? So our joy guides and our other guides help us to create more balance in our chart, because otherwise we would be just climbing mountains constantly and not really giving ourselves the full benefit of the experience that our guides have with knowing that we have to integrate and we have to understand how this change in our consciousness, how that manifests and impacts us on a bigger picture perspective. So our guides help us with that. They also help us in negotiating our contracts with other people. So there are people in this lifetime that you are here to serve and help and assist them to learn something valuable in their life. Sometimes you can recognize those people when you really have positive intentions towards them, and for whatever reason, things kind of happen and you end up playing some villainous role by accident. So our guides help us in these negotiations, also with other people, and sometimes we are serving them where we are really helping them, primarily in the relationship. We are helping them learn or grow in a certain area and contributing significantly to their growth. Now they're also teaching us that the same. Same time we're there's always going to be a exchange so that the the energy is is supporting both of us. That's how it works, is somehow it's going to support both of us in our greater growth or development or understanding. But sometimes there are places where you are serving more and someone else might be serving you more in other relationships as well. So our guides are taking a look at our previous lifetimes, our previous exchanges, some of the patterns that we have had before, and they have a deeper understanding, sometimes more than we are, of how we're going to respond in a situation and also where we need to keep pushing ourselves for further growth, where we have maybe underperformed, and we need to continue the development of this consciousness and so our guides will work that into the negotiations that we have with other people that govern some of our relationships in this lifetime, so your body, your family, and key moments from this lifetime are all part of a conscious soul choice. And even when life feels really messy or stressful or overwhelming, it's important to remember that there is an underlying design that your soul chose, from a place of love and from a place of understanding of exactly what it is that you needed. And all of that was reviewed by your spirit guides, where they suggested modifications for compassion and love and to support you further in your soul journey as well. So next time we're going to talk about things like exit points, when the soul chooses to leave, how the chart can be modified when we are here in the body, if it needs modification. And I would invite you to just intuitively think back on special parts of your lives. Just explore intuitively without really thinking about it. What are some of the major pivotal life moments that pop up for you, that the kinds that there was a before and there was an after that moment right there is probably an anchor point that your soul chose for this lifetime as being a pivotal moment for you in your soul journey. So it's good for you to kind of explore those think about it, and see how it contributed to your growth or set you on a path that you needed to experience. All right, everyone, I look forward to us diving a little bit further into this next time, sending you lots of love and many blessings.
