What Nourishes the Soul

Simple Pleasures, Sacred Life: A Channeled Reflection on What Your Soul Truly Craves

Have you ever wondered, What does my soul actually need right now?
Not your body. Not your mind. Not your to-do list. But your soul.

After hundreds of intuitive readings, I've noticed something beautiful and consistent across all of them: The soul craves the simple, the spacious and the sacred.

Despite being vast, multidimensional, and luminous beyond measure, the soul delights in the everyday and its nourishment isn’t found in escaping the human experience. Because your soul came to have a human experience and thrives on it. 

Soul Truths I’ve Learned (from channeling hundreds of souls)

Here are the most common energetic patterns I’ve felt again and again in session after session:

💗 Love

Your soul is love. Pure and radiant. It thrives on acts of love—toward yourself, others, and life itself. When you offer or receive love, it’s like your soul remembers itself.

🌿 Connection

Your soul doesn’t want to go it alone. It longs for deep heartfelt connection with the whole around it.  It longs to feel itself reflected—in a friend’s laughter, a dog’s gaze, the way sunlight filters through the trees. Connection grounds your multidimensionality. 

🌠 Expansion

Souls are natural explorers. Whether it's a new skill, a new city, or a new part of yourself you’ve never met before, your soul rejoices every time you step beyond the familiar, reminding you it’s come to expand itself and whatever it touches. 

🎠 Playfulness

Even the oldest souls love to play. The lighter your spirit, the brighter your light. Laughter, silliness and games are all medicine for your soul. The soul doesn’t like to take itself too seriously: what if it’s all a cosmic joke? 

🎨 Creativity

Creation is your soul expressing itself in form. When you create, your soul says, Yes—this is me. And it is always seeking a new form of expression. 

🎭 Self-Expression

Your soul has many facets, and it wants to show them. Not hide, shrink, or edit—shine. When you express yourself honestly, your soul takes up space in the world. It’s time for more people to show up as their souls. 

🌸 Beauty

Your soul sees beauty everywhere. It recognizes light in places your mind might miss. It thrives when surrounded by color, harmony, nature, and authentic expression. Beauty isn’t how you look—it’s how much of your soul shines through when you’re lit up from within.

🌞 Authenticity

Being your soul is being real. No mask. No pretending. Just truth. You don’t need to “become” more spiritual—you just need to be more you and share more you with the world. 

🏞️ Nature

Earth is your soul’s ally. Vitamin D, water, wind, the soil beneath your feet—these are portals. Nature clears the static so your soul can speak and so you can hear. Disconnect yourself from the superficial world of social media and technology and your soul will absolutely thrive. 

🫶 Compassion

My guides often remind me: Compassion begins with you. Before we can truly extend love outward, we must soften inward. We need to develop sympathy for the parts of ourselves we struggle with.

What the Soul Really Wants

It turns out, what the soul loves and needs the most...is already here and is free to all.

Not in a course, not in a five-step plan, not in a future version of you. But in the now. In everything around you.

The sacred is not separate from the mundane. As Zadie Smith astutely said, ‘either everything is sacred, or nothing is.” And when you begin to notice it—really notice it—your soul can shine through. Grace begins to flow.
