SOULMAKING

An alternative venue for knowing ourselves

and looking into the depths and real
meaning of what we are doing for everyday
life
Form of rafting stories or transforming brief
moments into images and symbols
Connecting with people, understanding
culture and embodying tolerance and
peace
Develop the artist in us, awakening the art
in us that has been stagnant or
undeveloped for numerous ears
It opens door for multiple intelligences of
expression
Imagination as a Sense
Organ:
What if there are six senses? What
if the brain is an organ that detects
images from a realm outside our
brains?
What if the mind is swimming
around in a sea of yet unformed
images, bizarre dream images of
not yet formed possibilities? What
if imagination is not what goes on
inside my material brain, but what
comes into my brain from the
Human Potential:
What if realizing human potential is not
the aim of life, but rather a tool for a
much larger goal? What if individual
potential is a vessel of soul, a conduit of
character and destiny that extend
beyond this lifetime? We so often make
realizing our potential the goal - what if
it is only a means, one of many?
Music
A fascinating avenue is music therapy.
Every little nuance found in nature is part of
a dynamic system in motion. Everything is
inter-related and music is able to touch
people in a deep and consequentially
healing way.

This complex interaction results in

"Soulmaking", or the ability of music to heal
what makes us vital, whole, alive, and
balanced.
You can be an instrument
maker
An instrument maker is a bridge
toward the unknown because the
instrument produces sounds that
transcend our feelings, emotions,
and sensation in ‘-another realm.
The soul is accompanied by a
vessel so that the soul will not
vanish. Transforming any found or
used object into a musical
instrument an be a daunting task
yet satisfying.
CRAFTING IMAGES
We all learn to be masters of self-
publicity through posed pictures,
curated timelines, and breathless
status updates. Indeed, if social
media serves one overriding
purpose, it’s to convince the world
that our lives are fascinating,
exciting and near perfect. This is
known as image crafting
How do we do it?
Create an interesting story using the
photos
Use the rules in composition learned
Make use of good lighting and the
right angle
In social media, we should post
photos in IG et al to inspire others
and to spread happiness and make
them feel worthy of this life.
CRAFTING STORIES
“Soulmaking” Keats believed that
experience was the key to finding our
souls, that our hearts and minds arrive
at a divinity in this world.

Literature…writing stories, poems,

novels, blogs, diaries, journals and vlogs
can be a good way to discover our inner
soul, our deepest emotions.
The creative soul: Earning a living
and discovering one’s passion
In addition to one’s hobby or interest,
through soulmaking, we an also use it
for business, livelihood or professionally
as a social enterprise.

Baking, furniture making, carpet

weaving etc. are ways to earn and have
fun at the same time.
