The Luxury of a Healthy Soul
BY REV. DONNA DAVIS, RN (YPIR)
Our birthright is a healthy soul. We live and breathe in the Divine energy that is everywhere. No matter what our background and beliefs, we are all a part of Life. When we incarnate into this human experience, we come in fill of curiosity and wonder. Nature it’s always giving to us and the world exists so that we may experience Life!

The birthright of being a pure unscathed soul is still ours even when the game of life, “the human experience”, beats us down. We begin to believe all of the other things that were constructed to be helpful at first. Well-meaning family and friends use their own experiences and those of our ancestors to try to keep us on the right path. That is taking away the very thing that is our birthright!
If we can remember that we are pure Energy. Pure harnessed Energy in a human body. Once we can grasp this, that we are all unique expressions of Energy, then we can treat each other with respect and be kind. This is how we get to feel the luxury that is our birthright. We get to tap back into the essence of what we came from and what is always around us. I call this essence Love, Source, God, or Life.
Once I become clear about Life being Love then I can forgive those who don’t understand me. I can embrace my true nature which is pure Energy completely encased in a body. I can see the others around me expressing themselves and navigating the human experience. Every now and then, I experience hurt and pain at the hands of other people. Some of them should be on my cheering squad, but alas, I have disappointed them by choosing to be true to myself.
One of my favorite books is Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsh. Like him, I find myself asking God why are people so mean to me? Why did I get created to be different? I get the same response every time when I meditate, “It’s all a part of your human story”. All of it is a drop in the bucket of time. Breathe and remember, nothing stays the same. Hurt only hangs out for a while.
You always can be mindful of your breath.
Lastly, you are made from the finest piece of Life but so is everyone else. Be kind to yourself and others. Step back into the breath and allow the luxury that is your Divine birthright to wash over you. Namaste.
