"Once we reawaken the soul force inside of ourselves, we can't help but recognize and honor it in every living thing. We stop asking Life, 'What will You do for me?' and we start asking Life, 'What can I do for You?' Surrendered, we become much more effective with our acts of Service, because we're fueled not just by our willpower alone, but also by a Cosmic Life Force that never runs out of energy. This means we stop doing service with a lower case 's' — that is, acts of service we think we should do or have been caught to do — and we start doing Service with a capital 'S' — or Service we were specifically created to do. Service no one else can do except us. As Bill Plotkin so beautifully wrote in Soulcraft:

" 'The gift you carry for others is not an attempt to save the world but to fully belong to it. It's not possible to save the world by trying to save it. You need to find what is genuinely yours to offer the world before you can make it a better place. Discovering the unique gift to bring to your community is your greatest opportunity and challenge. The offering of that gift — your true self — is the most you can do to love and serve the world . . . and it is all the world needs.'

"So.

"Another way to approach our Holy Heavy Duty is by using a simple gratitude-filled perspective shift: It's not that we have to take the often-arduous journey to consciously embody our souls in order to help save the planet; it's that we get to. We get to be our mystical, multidimensional, witchy, wise, passionate, playful, erotic, goofy, grounded, pissed-off, beautiful, badass, radically loving, uniquely Divine Feminine Selves out loud and On Purpose and in Full Service to Life. After all, there's nothing more powerful than a woman who has embodied her soul, a woman who doesn't just believe she's an incarnation of the Divine Feminine but dares to act like it.

"So . . .

"(Heart beating.)

"You In?

"While your soulSelf is always with you, there are certain 'come hither' gestures you can make to connect even more consciously.

"First, right here, right now, with all of your heart, simply say to your soul . . .

"that you're ready.
