The 1st Body: The Soul Body
The first of the Ten Bodies is your best friend for life—your Soul—your flow of spirit. It exemplifies courage, creativity, humility, and vision. The key phrase for the Soul body is “Heart over Head.” When you come from the head instead of the heart, you become overly reliant on intellect alone. When you come from your heart, you can tap into the inner guidance and wisdom of your heart and mind. The Soul Body is the light of the Infinite which lives in your heart. The key to balancing the Soul Body is a spiritual practice that empowers you to raise your consciousness and open your heart to the Divine.
