We all have important work to do. We are all unique human beings, with no two people being exactly alike. Each of us has a mission, a divine purpose, something that we must do to complete our path in life and live up to the potential we have been given. It is the gift we are meant to give to others and the world.

As Suzanne states in her Discover Your Soul Purpose CD "all the answers to everything you seek are inside of you". Many wise teachers throughout the ages, have also stated that truth. The challenge is how to tap into that wisdom and inner knowledge. Due to the demands of everyday life, it is often very difficult to slow down enough to hear what it is our soul is trying to communicate. However, when we take the time to listen to our soul, we can access valuable information. We get a clearer picture of what it is that we are born to truly express. Our soul purpose in life.

Suzanne Falter-Barns author of "How Much Joy Can You Stand?" and "Living Your Joy - a practical guide to happiness", as well as several courses and teleclasses, has designed a powerful tool the Discover Your Soul Purposeto help us access our inner knowledge and wisdom, at the soul level.

The Discover Your Soul Purpose program consists of a CD recording and a mini e-workbook.
In the CD, Suzanne's calm and centred voice leads the listener through two 25-30 exercises.
In both meditations Suzanne uses relaxation techniques that allow us to reach a deep meditative state of mind. A place where we are open and receptive to listen to our inner voice and wisdom. Suzanne then continues to guide the listener through a powerful visualization where we are asked to invite our essential selves and supportive guides to answer our questions and provide insights about our soul purpose.
The second meditation builds on information gained from the first meditation. This time the listener is guided to ask different questions, bringing more clarity and focus to discovering our soul purpose.

While listening to the CD if the answers to our questions are unclear or confused, Suzanne reassures us that the answers will come. We can listen to the CD as many times as we want and be guided to that place where we can ask the questions again, trusting with our hearts that the answers will come.
The first couple of times I listened to the CD, the answers were not that apparent and I appreciated that Suzanne made it okay and comfortable not knowing.
Each time I listen to it, more insights and information or affirmation of the path I am on, is revealed.

After listening to the CD, follow up by reading the accompanying e-workbook. Through this workbook Suzanne sets up a dialogue of questions and answers designed to further bring into focus more information about our soul purpose. Questions like: how do you know when you've found your soul purpose? The e-workbook also lists valuable resources and excellent advice on how to meditate and nurture our precious dreams.

Soul purpose is not about goals, careers, and things on our to-do list. Our soul purpose goes much deeper than that. Although it can be expressed through writing a book, painting, drama, dancing, volunteering in our community, they are the vehicles with which we express our true soul purpose. As Suzanne states: (our soul purpose is) "how you embody and convey that great spiritual energy that's floating all around us."

Our soul purpose is also a perfect healer. It is a powerful way to repair injuries of the past and regain a strong sense of self. Our soul purpose comes with burning passion, which helps fuel and express our true-life purpose.

Discover Your Soul Purpose CD creates a place we can visit anytime we want to centre ourselves, to get away from the distractions and demands of every day life, and connect with our true selves to find out what truly matters - our souls purpose.

For those of you new to guided meditations and visualizations, you will find Suzanne guided meditations a great way to get into a meditative state. For those who already practice meditation on a regular basis, as I do, you will find this fresh new approach another valuable tool in helping access our own inner voice and help us get on with what it is we are here to do - to honour our true souls purpose.
I highly recommend it. To purchase or read more about the Discover Your Soul Purpose visit howmuchjoy.com and look for the link on the left under courses.
