Dark Night of the Soul
Dark Night of the Soul
Before you can start living a magical life driven by the soul, you may experience a period of darkness and transformation.
‘The dark night of the soul is when you have lost the flavour of life but have not yet gained the fullness of divinity. So it is that we must weather that dark time, the period of transformation when what is familiar has been taken away and the new richness is not yet ours’. (Ram Das)
‘There can be no rebirth without a dark night of the soul, a total annihilation of all that you believed in and thought you were’. (Hazrat Inayat Kahn)
‘The dark night of the soul comes just before revelation. When everything is lost, and all seems darkness, then comes the new life and all that is needed’. (Joseph Campbell)

Insights
Be Gentle with Yourself
To realise that you are not the person you thought you were and to face up to a new world without the veil of illusion is not easy.
It is hard.
Have faith. Be reassured that this is the lowest point and things will only get better.
Time
The process of transformation can take a lot of time.
For some, it can be many many years. For others, it might be an accelerated process.
Don’t expect things to be rosy in a matter of months.
Let the transformation unfold naturally.
Nourish Your Soul
Do whatever it takes to nurture the soul.
It can be reading, walking in nature, watching movies or spending time with your loved ones.
The mind may be saying, ‘You need to do something, you can’t just be doing this’.
Ignore it. Listen to your intuition. It will tell you what is right for you.
Be an Observer
Welcome the negative thoughts, emotions or feelings that come into your being and let them be.
Know they will eventually pass.
