22 Soul Searching Quotes

#2

“Put your ear down close to your soul and listen hard.” ~ Anne Sexton

#3

#5

“Give yourself the gift of time in coming to answers for your life…It takes time, and a lot of introspection and soul-searching, to get clear about what you really want to manifest in your life.” ~ David Emerald Womeldorff

#6

“We have not turned our attention to the needs of the soul. We have not considered what is required by the soul in order to be healthy. We have not studied the soul or sought to help it attain what is necessary to its evolution and its health. Because we have been five-sensory, we have focused upon the body and the personality. We have developed an extensive knowledge of the physical apparatus that the soul assumes when it incarnates. We know of amino acids, neurotransmitters, chromosomes, and enzymes, but we do not know of the soul.” ~ Gary Zukav

#7

“Each person is born with an unencumbered spot—free of expectation and regret, free of ambition and embarrassment, free of fear and worry—an umbilical spot of grace where we were each first touched by God. It is this spot of grace that issues peace. Psychologists call this spot the Psyche, theologians call it the Soul, Jung calls it the Seat of the Unconscious, Hindu masters call it Atman, Buddhists call it Dharma, Rilke calls it Inwardness, Sufis call it Qalb, and Jesus calls it the Center of our Love. To know this spot of Inwardness is to know who we are, not by surface markers of identity, not by where we work or what we wear or how we like to be addressed, but by feeling our place in relation to the Infinite and by inhabiting it.” ~ Mark Nepo

#8

“You were born with everything you need to answer the call of your soul.” ~ Marie Forleo

#9

“And in this game of life, we all search for ourselves. When I say selves, I mean ‘inner selves’, the thing that created the life in the first place. Now consciously, most of us are not aware of this. But if you’re searching for happiness; if you’re searching for tranquility; if you’re searching just to have a nice, peaceful, loving, understanding life… in actual fact, your searching for your inner self.” ~ Sydney Banks

#10

“Health depends on being in harmony with our souls.” ~ Edward Bach

#11

“Love can heal a wounded soul. We all have scars from our past. Scars on wrists and throats can be healed with time but there are some scars which are much deeper than those on the body. They are the scars on our hearts, minds and on our souls which take a long time to heal. Embrace people who love you because love has an amazing power to heal and bring radiance in our life…” ~ Aarti Khurana

#12

“Your soul knows when it is time to close a chapter…” ~ Unknown

#13

“It’s easy to soul search in the modern secularized sense of the term. All we need to do is introspect a little and ask ourselves some pointed questions. Traveling is often touted as a great way to soul search for young, bright-eyed seekers. But soul searching, in the spiritual sense of the term, is much harder. It’s more elusive, more slippery, more complex. Nevertheless, to my knowledge, it is the most worthy and important pursuit in existence.” ~ Aletheia Luna

#14

“Quiet the mind and the soul will speak.” ~ Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati

#15

“What I can say is that all my characters are searching for their souls, because they are my mirrors. I’m someone who is constantly trying to understand my place in the world, and literature is the best way that I found in order to see myself.” ~ Paulo Coelho

#16

“Are you searching for the river of your soul? Then come out of your prison. Leave the stream and join the river that flows into the ocean.” ~ Rumi

#17

“To put it simply, soul searching is the quest to answer life’s problems and questions. When most people refer to ‘soul searching,’ they are talking about uncovering truth and happiness by questioning our thoughts, habits, and motivations. But soul searching also has a deeper meaning. At its core, soul searching is a return to the center of your being. Quite literally, it is a journey to find your Soul or True Nature; it is a spiritual path. And usually, it marks the beginning of the spiritual awakening journey.” ~ Aletheia Luna

#18

“Mindfully practicing authenticity during our most soul-searching struggles is how we invite grace, joy, and gratitude into our lives.” ~ Brené Brown

#19

“Maybe we all need to leave our children with a value legacy, and not a financial one. A value for things with a personal touch – an autographed book, a soul-searching letter.” ~ Lakshmi Pratury

#20

“The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.” ~ Caroline Myss

#21

“All births mean separation from the All, the confinement within limitation, the separation from God, the pangs of being born ever anew. The return into the All, the dissolution of painful individuation, the reunion with God means the expansion of the soul until it is able once more to embrace the All.” ~ Herman Hesse

#22

“I am the drop that contains the sea. How beautiful to be an ocean hidden within an infinite drop.” ~ Yunus Emre

― Elizabeth Eiler

#19

50 Free Spirit Quotes

#1

“Wild women are an unexplainable spark of life. They ooze freedom and seek awareness, they belong to nobody but themselves yet give a piece of who they are to everyone they meet. If you have met one, hold on to her, she’ll allow you into her chaos but she’ll also show you her magic.” ~ Nikki Rowe

#2

“I knew that I never wanted to stop walking; I wanted to see places and somehow understand what this thing called earth was all about. There were so many people out there, and I had to meet them. I felt safe and at home on the roads to nowhere, I felt welcome and protected in the unknown land and I fell in love with the people around me. They were so very similar and still so very different from me. I felt their souls connect to my own, and I knew no greater feeling could ever be given to me.” ~ Meara O’Hara

#4

“It’s true; the heart within me is wild, fierce, kind, and feeling. And I don’t mean this in concept or in theory. I mean this palpably and realistically.” ~ C. JoyBell C.

#5

“I embrace the rain like no one else and I call for storms because I live for the moments when I get through to the other side with all my organs intact. I change with the seasons and the seasons live in me, depending on the weather as if it’s something to be trusted. I don’t feel safe unless I’m far below or high above, near the ocean, or climbing the mountain. Where I can’t be reached or seen by anyone or anything and not even myself, because it seems to me that these voices in my head get louder just to kill the noise from the outside, and so I need to go away from time to time. You will never see me surrender, never see me cry, but you will often see me walk away. Turn around and just leave, without looking back.” ~ Charlotte Eriksson

#6

“I’m a human, and I’m multidimensional. If I was the perfect form of anything, I’d be boring. If I was a free spirit all the time, I would be boring; I would lack depth. If I was dark and enigmatic all the time, then I would lack relatability.” ~ Halsey

“I never said it was easy to find your place in this world, but I’m coming to the conclusion that if you seek to please others, you will forever be changing because you will never be yourself, only fragments of someone you could be. You need to belong to yourself, and let others belong to themselves too. You need to be free and detached from things and your surroundings. You need to build your home in your own simple existence, not in friends, lovers, your career, or material belongings because these are things you will lose one day. That’s the natural order of this world. This is called the practice of detachment.” ~ Charlotte Eriksson

#10

“If you try to tame her she will fly away, because pretty little spirits like her, never like to be caged.” ~ Nikki Rowe

#11

“The way I see myself is like I’m this Martian flower. A flower on Mars, doing my own thing; this is my own planet, don’t get too near me. And maybe an astronaut will come around one day, and say, “Hey, this is a cool planet, that’s a cool flower, maybe I can stay here.” You know? So far, the astronauts that visit, say, “Hey this is a cool planet and that’s a cool flower, I wonder what happens if I pick this flower, bring it home and teach it how to grow in my backyard soil.” I’m a Martian flower. I have my own planet, my own soil, I don’t need to be anything other. It’s a pretty great planet, but you have to have Mars in your heart to stay here. You need to turn Martian. Martian flowers don’t grow in your backyard.” ~ C. JoyBell C.

#12

#13

But some are free and they know it, and you’ll know it too because you’ll feel it running, swimming, flipping all around them.” ~ C. JoyBell C.

#25

“The free soul is rare but you know it when you see it — basically because you feel good, very good when you are near or with them.” ~ Charles Bukowski

#26

“I know that no one is my judge. I live according to my own conscience and value discernment which is governed by Holy Spirit. I know my intentions and I walk my path with a clear conscience. Be careful not to make assumptions. I don’t even allow my left hand to know what my right hand does. What makes you think I should explain my every unction and action to you?” ~ Mishi McCoy

#27

“She was a rule-breaker, never settling her fierce spirit for things built of structure.” ~ Nikki Rowe

#28

#44

“The inner wolf is the embodiment of the free spirit. She can be all things and thrive in all states. She can be the nurturer and protector, the observer and the instigator, the gatherer and the fighter, the solitary one and the pack member. She is not limited by one state of being. Above all, courage defines the inner wolf, and it is this essence that forges the true free spirit.” ~ Mateo Sol
