I love a soul check in. It's almost impossible for you to trick yourself into believing that something suits you when you check in with yourself. Your mind and your heart, they can both send mixed signals but not the soul. Your soul never lies to you.
When it comes to doing a soul check in I find it helpful to first make a pitstop in the mind and heart. Become aware of what your mind carries forward in terms of thought on a particular subject. This could be thinking about an ex who you swear you're soulmates with. Or trying to rationalize moving across an ocean despite feeling more comfortable at home.
Your mind will produce narratives that rationalize scenarios. Clock those in your awareness then move down to your heart. Let yourself feel the sensation of being with that person or in the environment you envision. Sit in the feelings and let them swirl around you.
Then take the plunge and move down to your soul. I like to picture it as the internal space behind your belly button. Light it up bright with whatever color feels most like you. Allow that color to feel warm and welcoming and ignite it to such a state that it fills your whole body up.
When you're nice and full (you may even feel warm or a slight buzzing sensation) allow yourself to visualize the person or situation in front of you. Trust that you will know in a matter of moments if the person or situation is right for you.
Your soul cannot lie. It will give you a clear indicator of who or what is aligned with your higher purpose. Lean into that trust and know that your own self-belief will always be there to support you.
