OVERVIEW

Your biggest desires and aspirations are a cover for your biggest weakness.

If you have enough of something, you will not desire it (for example, if you already have the latest iPhone, it would not be on your wishlist; if you are in a happy marriage, you will not long for a loving partner, etc.). So your desire or weakness is your void or your emptiness in the distorted form.

Our biggest desire is something within ourselves that we have lost. And we are desperately trying to fill that void, that hollow space that’s left where there was once a piece of us from the outside. 

The soul retrieval meditation helps you search within for whatever you have lost and missing so you are whole again and stop searching for a substitute for that lost part in the world around you (be that an unhealthy habit, another person to “come and save you,” or material goods, to name just a few examples). 

I recommend having a notebook close by so you can write down all the impressions, images, and thoughts that come to you in meditation.
