Instead, you lose connection to it due to trauma and inner wounds. While you can be what we refer to in the West as a “lost soul” (or someone who loses their way in life) – your soul in reality never “runs” away or gets lost. How’s that for mind-blowing? This realization can change the whole way you approach death! Therefore, it can never die, only change form. The same can be said for your soul, as your soul is energy: the life force energy. This mirrors the first law of thermodynamics which states that energy can transform from one state to another, but it can neither be created nor destroyed. The soul is never touched it is immutable, all-pervading, calm, unshakable its existence is eternal. It can transform and merge back with spirit, but it cannot die.Īs the ancient sacred Indian text known as the Bhagavad Gita writes: In short, the answer is no, your soul can’t die (thankfully!). It’s a scary thought! So let’s address the elephant in the room right away. Probably one of the biggest questions that we’re left to try and figure out as humans is whether the soul can die, become lost, or disappear. The precise origin of the word ‘soul’ is unknown, however, it derives from a variety of words from Old English ( sāwl, sāwol), Dutch ( ziel), German ( seele), and Old Norse ( sál) languages. It is our soul that we hear as this ‘little voice inside’ reminding us that there is more we can become, and it is our soul that suffers when we don’t nourish it by integrating a spiritual component into our lives and striving to give our lives meaning and purpose. … it is our soul that provides us with a kind of inner voice, a moral compass and direction. Indeed, your soul can be thought of as Spirit embodied.Īs the force that animates, moves, and even speaks to us, our souls are said to be the source of our intuition and higher knowing.Īs psychologist and shamanic teacher, Christa Mackinnon writes,
What is a soul? To put it in a nutshell, your soul is the immaterial essence and totality of who you are at a core level – it is your True Nature.Īs all of life at its core level is energy, a soul is the whole of this energy a unique expression of the Divine which we call Spirit.
