Jesus said, “Water your soul.” What do you think that means? How do you water your soul? How is that different from feeding your soul?
Watering your soul is encouraging and allowing inspiration of mind and soul by spirit. Feeding your soul is prayerful contemplation of goodness, of higher values. It is a process of thinking about and choosing elevated concepts of morality and behavior. You water with spiritual inspiration. You feed with moral thinking applied to reflection on your experience.
Guided by the ideas, let’s ask the spirit to water our souls.
Get comfortable, relax and sit back. Breathe deeply and comfortably from your abdomen. Now, go to your soul. Raise your hand to your chin and as you lower it to your heart area, slip onto your soul. Continue to breathe from your abdomen and sense your morontia mind, the place where your Adjuster has recorded every good decision you have ever made, every good thought you have had, every truth you have recognized, every beautiful image you have seen, all the love you have given and all the love you have received. It’s all there in your soul. Your soul is a beautiful garden and filled with spirit, joy, light, and color. When you feel like smiling, let that smile bloom naturally on your face and in your soul.
Now water the garden of your soul. Not with a watering can or a hose, not with rain, but with a mist. Feel the mist of spirit gently falling on the garden of your soul. Feel the spirit’s mist gently kiss your soul’s garden. Feel the mist on petals and leaves, running down stems into the soil, to the very roots of spirit life. Spirit inspires you and revives your delight in the marvelous goodness of life. It satisfies your thirst.
I will stop the music when the time is up.
