The idea of soul mastery came from Hilda Charlton in her consciousness-expanding book called Saints Alive. This idea of the potential of you and I having a master soul has me wondering about what the qualities of a master soul are and how can we bring that about? I suspect that we all come equipped with a master soul we just need to make contact with it and learn to express this mastery.

The qualities of the master soul would most likely include: being centered, free of judging and being critical, open hearted and compassionate, guided by wise mind, seeking consciousness, patient, peaceful, present, joyous, awake and aware, appreciator of beauty, unity consciousness and more. Taking the idea of opening to the mastery and wisdom of our soul I thought I would share with you ways to open.

Here are my over 50 ways to bring out mastery in your soul:

Stop for brief moments throughout your day and tune inward toward your soul, higher nature

Listen to your intuition and be guided by that

Notice and appreciate the beauty around you and touch in with the soul while doing that

Breathe deeply and make contact with your higher nature often

Slow down and appreciate the moment and how wonderful life is

Slow down and appreciate the gift you are to the world

Step into nature and feel the expansiveness of it and of your own nature

On a clear night join in the family of the universe by imagining that the whole Milky Way is part of you

Tap into the unity consciousness of all beings and feel part of it

Stand by the ocean and see yourself as a drop joining into the ocean of consciousness

Have fun and feel your soul dance along

Be creative and experience the spirit within expressing itself

Become aware of your infinite and eternal nature

Slow down enough to go beyond the personality and ego and sense the impartial observer in you

Live fully in the moment and watch the love, peace and happiness that naturally arises

Read something inspirational and allow it to take you way out into thoughts and ideas that you have never had before

Each day find some way to explore and express more of your potential

Find the music in your soul and express it in song, poetry, music or whatever way you are called to do

Have compassion for others and feel how you make contact with your highest nature in doing so

Let the child in you play and experience your more essential self

Find how to make contact with your wise mind, which is free of the ego and free to expand endlessly

Spread love throughout your day and experience how it expands you

Be the expression of a fully realized being filled with light and love

Look into your eyes and see your light, then turn that light out into the world

Let the flow happen through writing, building relationships, and living with passion

Find your purpose and play it boldly as if the world planet is dependent on it

Feel what you feel and be accepting of all that you are

Care for your body in ways that make it feel alive

Live in your body as if it is a temple of the divine

Quiet the mind often so that you can hear the wisdom of your spirit

Leave old beliefs on the scrap heap and free yourself to live fully

Find your inner peace so that you can spread peace out into the world

Locate your center and keep on returning to it when you fall into reactivity or obsessive thought

Take on a broader perspective so that you can keep on expanding

Spend time going under the noise of you mind and explore the river of knowing

Find the place in you that does not exist in self-identity

Live in the world not concerned about the approval of others

Let your self-protection down and live with greater transparency

Tune inward and notice what/who causes you to contract and what/who invites you to expand

Let your soul guide you toward taking yourself lightly

Find out what makes up your thought up self and what makes up your Higher Self

Listen to your self-talk and change what isn’t insightful, supportive, and encouraging

Practice trusting yourself and your own sense of what to do

Find what values mean most to you and live by them

Develop your ability to look at yourself and the world impartially with a kind heart

Use expansive brainstorming as a way to loosen up the mind when it gets narrow and ego driven

Practice being kind every day and feel your soul smile

Open to the idea of deserving the life you want as a reflection of your spiritual nature

Go in search of your own truth and continual seek clarity within

See yourself as part of a much large process than the workings of your own mind

Move toward cooperation and building relationships by seeing the divine nature of all you meet
