I had never thought about my soul having a name until I pulled a card called Soul Name from the Secret Language of Light oracle deck by Denise Jarvie. It says we each have one.
That night I did the guided meditation on the card. It leads you to the door of your heart, where your soul’s name is written above the frame. I saw three words. The first two were Angelica Priestess. The third was a name I did not know, and I woke up the next morning curious about who I really am.
“Who am I?”
Those weeks were hard. My business was falling apart, and I was getting ready to move. Even so, it felt like my soul wanted me to learn more about myself.
One quiet morning I sat in the sauna at the gym, praying and asking for guidance. Standing in the cold shower afterward, I asked out loud, “Who am I?” In my mind I saw Jesus hand me a set of keys. I went back to the door of my heart, opened it, and saw a sky full of stars. At the center was a bright flame, free and unblocked. It was me, my eternal soul.
Kuan Yin at the flame
A few months later, on a long night drive, I put my hand on my heart and breathed slowly. I saw that flame again, and this time Kuan Yin was standing beside it, guarding it with her love. She held me and showed me different parts of my heart. Pointing to a blue part, she said, “This is your truth. It needs to shine brighter.”
Questions like “What is my soul’s name?” are doors. If you’re curious, walk through.
Love is the flame inside each one of us. When we remember that, we come home to who we are.
