We all have something to heal... a broken heart, a broken bone; a broken bank account or home. And despite the fact that there are thousands of books, articles, products, and methods to heal these maladies, we all continue to feel as if something is missing in our overall health and well-being. But how do we know that something is missing when we don't even know what "it" is?
The answer is the Soul. Our innermost wisdom tries to get our attention that something is amiss-- or out of alignment with our deepest core. What most don't know is that our Soul is the nucleus of each and every thought, behavior, emotion and action. It is the "hub" of all of our "being". When our human life is unbalanced, our Soul becomes unsettled. It knows when we are out of alignment from our highest good and potential and wants to get us back on track. The Soul speaks through our human reactions to things--- these are "symptoms of the soul". These messages may appear in the form of physical or emotional concerns or disatisfaction with other parts of our life. Only by listening to and honoring our Soul's needs do we experience peace within, and only then do we experience true health.
My "Soul Health Model", listed on my webpage offers more information about the 10 key aspects of human life that must be balanced in order to reach our optimal health. Take a moment to check it out-- and balance your own life to feed your Soul!

What is Consciousness?
Had the question posed of what I consider "consciousness" to be. Great question, and when asked it always helps me sharpen my own ideas about it!
To me, consciousness is the ever-evolving awareness of what we, as humans, are all about-- as well as how we fit into the grander scheme of the Universe. Because I see everything through spiritual eyes, I apply meaning to just about everything that crosses my awareness. It might be the contentment I perceive with the sound of my dog snoring next to me on the couch (as he is right now), or the meaning I place on the appearance of a hawk overhead, or the connection I feel with clients when they have an "aha" moment. If we were capable of being conscious of all of the cues around us at all times, we would be overwhelmed with the infinite amount of information we might receive. But just taking the time to tune into just one or two of these cues at a time can exponentially heighten our awareness of the world around us and give us the many wonderful affirmations that we are heading in the right direction as humans--- and more importantly as Souls.
Consciousness is the awareness of the "meta-moment"--- the moment within the moment, per se. It is the 3-D view of the world-- the popping out of meaning that we can receive only when we choose to be conscious. Consciousness goes beyond awareness.
Mindfulness is a big thing in our society right now-- the moment-to-moment awareness of the good, the bad and the ugly (Jon Kabot-Zinn). However, I think mindfulness is necessary but insufficient when it comes to gleaning full meaning from those moments. Being aware of them is not enough. Extracting the meaning behind them is consciousness.
The evolving consciousness of the world right now shows that we are no longer satisfied with the status quo. We want more out of life-- more out of the moment. And as we evolve as Souls, we become less and less tolerant of the human condition-- we want to live in spirit, not just as humans.
Thanks for the question.... I'll be curious how I respond in another few years as my own consciousness evolves! (For more ongoing info--- consider adding your name to my E-newsletter list. Go to http://www.drkatherinetkelly.com/ and sign up!)
