Book summary “Writing down your soul”: summary

Introduction

You often confuse what your ego wants with what your soul actually longs for. This disconnect leaves you feeling exhausted, stuck on a treadmill of unmet desires and spiritual exhaustion.

Janet Conner introduces deep soul writing as a method to access divine wisdom through theta brain waves. You learn to drop below conscious thought and write directly from a deeper source of inner knowing.

The book outlines a seven-chakra exploration journey to help you uncover your true purpose. You move from physical grounding to spiritual surrender, transforming unconscious patterns into sacred commitments.

• What is the difference between a human contract and a divine covenant?
• How do you quiet your inner critic to find hidden truth?
• What happens when you speak your sacred vows aloud?

1. Welcome to Your Soul Vows Adventure

Soul vows differ fundamentally from human contracts because they act as living divine covenants that reveal how you walk the earth.

In 1997, after her marriage disintegrated in a dramatic fashion, Janet Conner turned to a daily writing practice in her journal, which eventually led her to discover her soul vows. Reading David Whyte's poem All the True Vows inspired her to seek vows directed to herself and the Divine. By November 2000, her marriage ended and she shared her vows.

Soul vows are born from deep journaling and dialogue with the divine voice rather than created as human goals or obligations. Unlike legal agreements or corporate value statements that outline obligations and consequences, soul vows are simple, short phrases that act as grace points. While soul purpose is your why, soul vows describe your how and serve as a fertile container for your purpose.

After nine years, the author realized that the vow I come from love means she was generated by Divine Love rather than having to generate love herself. By her tenth anniversary, celebrated in 2010 at St. Michael's Shrine, she had spoken her soul vows three thousand times.

Mary Anne Radmacher asks creativity workshop participants to compare a shopping list made right before leaving the door with one developed over days of noticing needs. Making a list over time activates the reticular activating system, focusing attention on what truly matters to you.

Accessing soul level wisdom requires shifting from left-brain logic and control to right-brain creation and unknowing. You can reorient your approach through specific daily choices:

• Less media, more reading
• Less facts, more intuition
• Less consuming, more creating
• Less commotion, more solitude
• Less talking, more listening
• Less noise, more silence
• Less knowing, more unknowing
• Less doing, more being
• Less thinking ahead, more living in the now

Speaking soul vows acts as a powerful prayer that renews commitment, activates divine response, awakens the inner mystic, and summons the full divine self. A course participant described her transformation after soul vows simply as Wendy 2.0.

2. First Exploration: Root Chakra and Self-Care

Spiritual transformation begins in the grounded, messy first chakra rather than the higher chakras.

The root chakra is where you absorbed your initial sense of belonging, family norms, and cultural conditioning. It mirrors the ancient chakra story of Shakti separating from Shiva to experience longing and begin the journey back. Consumer culture traps you in material wanting, but spiritual awakening awakens a deeper longing that only divine union can satisfy. While wanting is paired with material things like toys or houses, longing goes beyond yearning and cannot be satisfied with material stuff. Acknowledging this soul longing shifts your priorities forever.

On December 31, 1995, Janet Conner wrote "I want You to find me. I will sit in a field until You find me" in her back-bedroom office during a toxic marriage and career. That act set off massive life changes including divorce and deep soul writing.

Take Sweet Care of Yourself

Honoring the body through self-care and sensory awareness is the first step toward embracing divine presence. The body is an integrated whole and your only home in the universe. Tuning into your senses awakens clairsentience and natural intuition, allowing you to perceive divine guidance. Modern life often neglects basic biological needs, as 40 million people in the United States have chronic sleep disorders while only 29 percent of adults get even six hours of sleep.

You can apply the law of subtraction through specific choices:

• Notice the Media You Invite into Your Life
• Reduce the Noise in Your Life
• Observe How You Spend Time
• Get More Sleep
• Pay Attention to How Your Body Responds
• Move Your Body
• Nourish Your Body
• Relish Your Food
• Bless Your Food
• Go Outside
• Honor Your Sanctuary
• Protect Your Soul Light

Infuse Your Spirit with High Spiritual Ideas

Reading sacred texts through slow, contemplative practices helps absorb spiritual wisdom deeply. Lectio divina or divine reading involves reading slowly, stopping at resonant phrases, speaking words aloud into space, and resting in silence to listen with the ear of the heart.

The contemplative reading process requires specific actions:

• Read slowly. Don't rush. One page may be more than enough.
• When you come across a sentence or phrase or word that knocks on your heart, stop and reread it.
• Look up from the book and speak the words aloud several times as you stare off in space.
• Just sit in the silence, staring off into space.

Set Up Vibrant Spiritual Practices

True prayer moves beyond asking for things to becoming the presence of light and love in the world. Rather than manipulating the divine for personal needs, effective prayer aligns with divine grace and shifts from an intellectual exercise into a state of being. When Janet's son Jerry was sent to federal prison, she created the Perfect Prayer and later joined a circle focusing five minutes daily of pure love and light on the prison, lasting five months in federal prison before Jerry began to suffer greatly.

Altars shift our attention and alter our physical space by holding items of spiritual significance. Each item placed on an altar emanates energy that changes the surrounding environment, creating a sacred container for focus, commemoration, and prayer. Janet created an altar of freedom for her imprisoned son using a ceramic bowl, river rocks with marked dates and days of imprisonment, and gifts sent by supporters like a statue of Ganesh. Forgiving those who cause suffering is a supreme spiritual practice that opens the heart to divine wholeness. True forgiveness requires recognizing that no one is withheld from the heart of the divine, allowing you to love your enemies and release resentment. Janet practiced forgiving the federal judge who sent her son to prison by praying for him and repeating the Perfect Prayer until the resentment dissolved.

Creating a regular practice of solitude is essential to escape societal illusions and undergo inner transformation. By setting aside time and physical space to withdraw from constant reaction and media noise, you enter a desert cave of solitude as a furnace of transformation where you commune with the Divine through the Hebrew invocation Hineni.

3. Second Exploration: Unmasking False Vows

Unconscious fear-based thoughts act as false vows that carve neural pathways, requiring you to welcome inner critics and harvest their golden rings.

Every repetition of a fear-based thought physically wires the brain and exerts mastery over our behavior. Over time, these falsehoods take up energetic and physical space, dictating our life choices until we bring them into the light. Mahatma Gandhi's formula explains how deeply carved neural pathways dictate human trajectory, while Kabir Helminski condenses it by stating that we become what we love through repeated attention.

• Your beliefs become your thoughts.
• Your thoughts become your words.
• Your words become your actions.
• Your actions become your habits.
• Your habits become your values.
• Your values become your destiny.

The second chakra, located in the womb, serves as the energetic seat of personal identity, partnership, choice, and creative change. Synthesizing Caroline Myss, Anodea Judith, and Harish Johari, the second chakra is the domain where duality motivates movement and change, and where managing the power of choice is the essence of the human experience.

Create a Welcoming Space

Calling on spiritual guides, teachers, or entities three times energetically honors, opens to, and integrates their wisdom. The first repetition honors the guide, the second signals openness to teaching, and the third absorbs and integrates the wisdom into one's being.

• Speak a teacher's name the first time to say I honor you and wish to receive your wisdom.
• Speak the name a second time to say I am open to receiving what you have to teach me.
• Speak the name a final time to energetically absorb their wisdom and integrate it into your being.

Invite Your Critical Voices to Come Forward

Internal critics must be welcomed and unmasked in a safe space rather than fought, suppressed, or ignored. Critics wear masks as camouflage to protect us from facing unresolved fears. By using fast-moving deep soul writing, addressing the critic as Beloved, and listening without judgment, we uncover the frightened child or harmless protector underneath. Alice in Illinois named her negative voice Fraidy Kat and shortened it to Kat, conducting stunning conversations that uncovered profound wisdom.

• Create an open, nonjudgmental, receptive space and surround yourself with guides and protection.
• Set a holy intention to meet your critics, hear them, and learn from them.
• Call your critic forward three times, give it a name, and invite it to sit down.
• Ask your critic to take off its mask and show its face.
• Use Thich Nhat Hanh's practice by saying Beloved, I am here for you.
• Give your critic the floor and write its story without interrupting or editing.

Slip into We and Ask Compassionate Questions

Using the pronoun we during soul writing bridges self-protection and fosters compassionate dialogue with internal patterns. Shifting from blaming the critic to asking compassionate, open-hearted questions helps decode how automatic responses developed and why they kept us safe.

• How did we feel when that happened?
• What did we do next?
• Why do you think we reacted that way?
• Did we see any other options at the time?
• When do you think we began to look at the world that way?
• How do we feel about this belief today?
• What would we like to do now?
• What do you want me to know?

Learn Your False Vows Names

Giving false vows distinct names brings them out of the subconscious shadow bunkers and strips them of their hidden control. Once a repeating pattern is named, such as Obligation, Obedience, or Keeper, it moves to the front of consciousness, turning a tyrannical master into a manageable or even humorous companion. The author's mother's favorite word was obey, revealing Obedience as a major false master, while Kathleen in Texas discovered her clutter stemmed from a false vow named Keeper.

• Now that I see how my false beliefs began, help me see what they morphed into.
• What are the key repeating patterns in my life?
• How do I respond now, without even thinking, to stressful situations?
• What do I tell myself I have to do or say or ignore to feel safe?
• What false beliefs or habits have power in my life?
• When I look at the repeating patterns in my life, what does that tell me about my core false beliefs or vows?
• If each of my false beliefs had a name, what would it be?

Ask for and Receive the Gifts of Your False Vows

Meister Eckhart's concept of Golden Rings allows us to honor the gifts and coping mechanisms of false vows rather than battling them. Instead of engaging in dualistic warfare against lower psychological powers, we can acknowledge the positive attributes they helped build, transforming fear into confidence or obligation into conscious choice. The author transformed Money Fear into an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and hyperfocus, and Alice in Illinois discovered wisdom from being silenced and courage from fear.

• What benefits did I receive from you? What did you teach me?
• How did you help me cope?
• Is there something in these coping responses I can be grateful for?
• How have you been my friend?
• How did you try to protect me? Help me?
• Did you leave a scar?
• How can I acknowledge and bless my scars?
• Do you have a Golden Ring for me? What is its name?
• If I put on this Golden Ring, what will change?

4. Third Exploration: Solar Plexus and Release Ceremonies

The third chakra functions as a center of transformative fire and personal power generated by combining earth and water elements. Anodea Judith explains that combining matter and movement creates energy, combustion, or metabolism. In the human soul, this third-chakra energy acts as a transformative fire located in the solar plexus that can either unconsciously create unwanted outcomes or intentionally mirror the beauty of the soul.

Releasing false masters requires a deliberate, personalized release ceremony that generates transformative fire in the solar plexus and leaves you empty and whole.

Lily drove to Walden Pond State Reservation at 3:00 A.M., read quotes from Emerson and Rumi, read aloud her opening prayer to bury her dead, burned the names of her false vows, and stepped into the pond.

Create a Personal Release Ceremony

Releasing false masters constitutes a major transformation. You should design a ritual that aligns with your internal wisdom.

• Begin by setting your intention for the highest good for you and your soul's journey.
• Call in your angels and guides to be with you, support you, and hold you close.
• Create sacred space by blessing your physical space with sound, holy waters, oils, candles, or crystals.
• Do an oracle card reading from a treasured deck or read from a sacred text to welcome divine guidance.
• Slowly and prayerfully read a significant passage from your soul vows master-teacher companion.
• Enter into the release portion of your ceremony, speaking words of release, integration, or transmutation.
• Notice yourself and your body's reactions, staying hydrated and allowing the experience to unfold.
• Honor the presence of witnesses if you have them, asking them to contribute to the ritual.
• Give yourself plenty of quiet and solitude after the ceremony instead of rushing back into ordinary life.
• Celebrate with a special meal, toast, or dance, and ensure you get adequate sleep.

Explore Ways to Transmute or Release Your False Vows

True inner transformation is marked by a profound sense of emptiness. This fulfills Meister Eckhart's paradox that to be full one must first be empty.

Elizabeth Gilbert sat on a silent island retreat, called forth her sorrows one by one to accept and love them, and ultimately discovered that her heart still held limitless space.

Third Paradox: Fragments Are the Sisters of Wholeness

Waiting and loss can become profound friends and sisters to welcoming and discovery when embraced deeply rather than resisted. Drawing on John O'Donohue's concept that loss is the sister of discovery, the author realized that waiting is the sister of welcoming during her son's imprisonment.

Janet Conner's son Jerry was sent to prison on May 21, 2013, to coerce him to talk about political activist friends. He was ultimately released on January 28, 2014, after a federal judge granted a motion outlining his unyielding commitment to silence. December 20, 2013 marks the date Jerry's legal team submitted a rare motion outlining his losses.

Bury My Dead: A Prayer of Endings

A structured prayer of endings allows you to address each false master by name. You can recognize its obsolete role and reclaim personal power.

Janet Conner used her Bury My Dead prayer to address seven false masters alongside her seven-year-old self, burning the names on paper and discarding the ashes in a white envelope.

Third Discovery: I Am Whole

By combining readiness from the first chakra and freedom from the second, you achieve the third discovery of complete wholeness. The spark created by rubbing the first two discoveries together results in the realization that the mind, heart, body, and attention are entirely whole. Meister Eckhart equates this state of wholeness with holiness.

• Say aloud: I am whole.
• Say aloud: I am empty.
• Say aloud: I am a whole and empty vessel for the Presence of the Divine.

5. Fourth Exploration: Heart Chakra and Mystic Marriage

Scientists at the Institute of Heartmath discovered that the heart generates an electromagnetic field thousands of times stronger than the brain. Placed at the cross-section of vertical and horizontal bodily lines, the heart serves as a finely tuned organ of spiritual intelligence and discernment. Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man illustrates human proportion where vertical and horizontal lines meet precisely in the heart.

Gathering raw potential soul vows into a big pot allows your heart intelligence to forge unbreakable mystical marriage vows with the Divine.

Readers collect potential values from journal entries, master-teacher companions, road signs, and daily experiences into a big pot. By avoiding premature editing or weighing of options, the true desires of the soul can bubble up from the transpersonal treasury of Being. Masha in Texas received her soul vows after a Tarot reading in Las Vegas prompted her to step into her power, followed by discovering compassion and engage online.

• Enter your cave of solitude and pray for guidance and grace.
• State your intention for this next step in your soul's romance and announce that you are open.
• Record any potential soul vow in your journal on five or more pages labeled 'My Big Pot of Soul Vows' or put strips of paper in a real pot.
• Do not weigh or edit anything yet; gather phrases, sentences, words, or billboard insights.

Examining the opposites of unwanted false masters reveals hidden positive values for potential soul vows. By listing discarded false beliefs in a dead column and writing their positive opposites in a living column, readers can uncover recurring themes and nonnegotiable ways of being that their divine Self wants to exhibit. Janet discovered that her dead false masters of obligation, obedience, neglect, lying, and control pointed directly to her soul vows to live in partnership and honor herself.

• Draw two columns in your journal and label them 'Dead' and 'Living'.
• Write your false masters on the 'Dead' side.
• Quickly and without judgment, jot down the positive opposite under the 'Living' side.
• Review your table of contrasts as a whole to see any recurring themes, patterns, or a vein of gold.

An organic, heart-directed sorting process helps narrow down raw possibilities into a short, focused list of soul vows. Readers speak each potential vow aloud and let the heart make a quick intuitive choice without relying on intellectual control. Vows are categorized into simple piles based on whether the heart leaps with excitement, feels warm, or remains neutral. Janet realized her heart jumped on every word of 'I live in partnership', confirming it belonged in her final list because partnership is who she is.

• Speak each potential vow aloud and let your heart make a quick, intuitive decision.
• Sort the values into three simple piles: yes for values you love and want to live every day, maybe for values you are uncertain about, and no for values that do not belong to you right now.
• Test all potential vows out loud, play with the language, and notice how your body and heart respond.

Soul vows operate as a reciprocal covenant where the human commits to a way of being and Spirit provides active grace and support. The partnership aspect of soul vows means readers can rely on Spirit to help bring their commitments to life. Engaging in divine dialogue about Spirit's role reveals an unshakable agreement where Spirit runs to meet the seeker. Janet spent fourteen years discovering how richly Spirit participates in her soul vows after declaring them.

• Take a potential vow from your focused list and have a conversation on the page about Spirit's role in that vow.
• Ask the Beloved how He will support you, love you, and be with you when you commit to the full wording of the potential vow.
• Record the ways in which your divine partner will dance with you as you embody your mystical marriage vows.

Speaking soul vows through the new I invites the living Presence of the Divine to act in, through, and as the individual. Soul vows transcend practical personal guidelines by creating a space for the Divine to manifest. By adding the divine perspective to each vow, readers recognize that God also embodies qualities like surrender and seeking truth within human life. Usha discovered her bilingual vow 'I do punya with presence' through bibliomancy in the Lalita Sahasranama, realizing God does good deeds through her without expectation of reward.

• Take a vow from your list and speak it aloud first using your name and the pronoun I.
• Speak the vow a second time from the perspective of the Divine using 'I, the Divine', 'I, Spirit', or another name for the Beloved.
• Write the remaining vows on your focused list in this new I format in your journal, leaving room to capture whatever emerges.

The consummation of the soul vows merges the lover and Beloved into a single entity where the human and divine become one. Through physical gestures like rotating hands in opposite directions across the chakras, the author realized that the two 'I's dissolve into a single reality. This mystical truth defies strict grammar to express the ultimate union of 1 + 1 = 1. Janet experienced this union while moving her hands and declaring phrases such as 'I, the one who prays, is the one who is prayed.'

• Take a vow and begin your statement with 'I, the one who...' putting the complete wording in present tense and active voice.
• Finish your vow with '...is the one who...' placing your vow in past tense or passive voice for the consummation phrase.
• Experiment with the wording until it captures the ecstatic marriage at the heart of your soul vows.

Final soul vows must be unshakable and unbreakable commitments that define the core identity of a whole and holy life. True soul vows feel good, bring tears of joy, frighten the ego slightly because they are big, and vibrate with power. Breaking them causes internal suffering because it separates the individual from who they truly were born to be. Alice in Illinois realized through David Whyte's poetry that she had three core vows she could not break without losing herself, including trusting God always and seeing beauty everywhere.

• Check your final soul vows against clues such as whether they open your heart, make you laugh or cry, and frighten you a little with their bigness.
• Test your vows against David Whyte's standard: determine if it would kill you to break them and if breaking them means you would stop being you.
• Write or type your completed soul vows on one sheet of paper and place copies on your altar, nightstand, desk, or screensaver to practice them daily.

6. Fifth Exploration: Throat Chakra and Sacred Song

Speaking soul vows aloud transforms speech into a mantra, introducing the paradox that to declare your sacred will is to surrender completely.

The throat chakra governs communication, sound, and self-expression. As Anodea Judith notes in Wheels of Life, this center controls communication and dynamic creativity. By speaking soul vows aloud, you transition from merely having a list of sentences to becoming your vows through creative powers.

Declare Your Soul Vows

Soul vows can be brought to life by exploring the elements of sacred song: breath, sound, rhythm, and melody. Breath draws in soul-light and mirrors the unpronounceable divine name YHVH. Sound uses vocal vibrations to make the body a singing pipe, while rhythm and melody allow the words to find their natural cadence and musical expression. Devi Mathieu taught the author and her radio audience to repeat words like ego and caritas from Hildegard of Bingen chants to experience their essence.

• Take one of your vows and say the first word as if discovering it for the first time.
• Let your thinking mind rest while immersing yourself in sensory awareness of the vibrations.
• After saying the first word fifteen or twenty times, couple it with the next word.
• Keep adding words until you have spoken the whole vow many times while noticing the physical sensations.

Movement

Engaging physical movement and sign language opens up entirely new layers of meaning within soul vows. Vows can be prayed through the entire body by using sign language, classic or created mudras, bowing, or turning toward different directions. Masha in Texas created her own left and right hand mudras, speaking vows with her left hand for herself and her right hand for Spirit before joining them together.

• Slowly sign each soul vow using a sign language dictionary.
• Select a mudra for each vow or create your own hand-prayer.
• Move your body by bowing as you say each vow or turning to the four or six directions.

Mantra

When spoken with complete presence, soul vows transform into sacred mantras that release divine qualities from the throat chakra lotus.

In the Vedic tradition, the sixteen-petal lotus at the center of the fifth chakra holds divine qualities that flutter in response to mantra sounds. The author envisions a seven-lotus corresponding to her seven vows. Thich Nhat Hanh states in You Are Here that speaking with 100 percent of your being turns speech into a mantra that can transform reality.

• Visualize your own throat-chakra lotus with one petal for each of your soul vows.
• Chant your soul vows and feel the petals flutter to release the perfume of your chosen qualities.

Incorporate Your Soul Vows into Your Daily Spiritual Practice

Weaving soul vows into a regular daily spiritual practice provides a structured way to slow down, let go, and experience surrender. A consistent practice acts as a structured activity to enter sacred emptiness, taking twenty to forty minutes a day. Marielle in New Brunswick painted her soul vows on an oval board with chakra colors and recites them upward from the root chakra and downward from top to bottom.

• Choose one or two activities you love, such as devotional reading, lighting a candle, or going for a walk.
• Weave your soul vows into or around what you love without altering your existing habits.
• Commit to a regular, daily schedule to let go of trying to control how vows manifest.

Immortalize Your Soul Vows

Once soul vows are finalized, they can be immortalized through spontaneous, right-brain creative expressions rather than logical planning. Susan in Texas decoupaged a pressed-wood finger labyrinth with tissue paper and pasted stone images with one word per stone into the grooved pathways.

• Wait until your heart and body signal that your soul vows have found their final form.
• Trust an artist or your own intuition to select the medium, colors, and materials without rigid instructions.
• Immortalize your vows through calligraphy, embroidery, prayer beads, finger labyrinths, or painted word decals.

Celebrate Your Soul Vows with a Ceremony

On November 11, the author celebrated Janet's Covenant Celebration by inviting ten women as witnesses, anointing their foreheads with holy oil, and wearing a Mexican fire opal ring with the word seven engraved inside.

• Consider whether you want a public ceremony, a shared circle, or a private ritual with yourself and Spirit.
• Ask your soul for guidance on what to create and whom to invite.
• Wear a specific token, ring, or piece of jewelry to mark the sacred occasion.

Fifth Paradox: To Declare Is to Surrender

The mysterious space between declaring your vows and surrendering to them is where your new version is birthed. Daniel Ladinsky provided a translation of a Hafiz poem describing a wonderful game of holding hands with God and realizing there is no difference between them.

• Take your time exploring the space between declaring and surrendering.
• Ask your divine partner provocative questions about whether you are surrendering or holding back.
• Write your own mystical poem about surrender and your game with Spirit.

7. Sixth Exploration: Third-Eye Chakra and Trust

The sixth chakra combines light and knowing into claircognizance, allowing you to break the space-time barrier and trust the divine dance.

In the West, light and knowing are treated as separate concepts. Eastern and ancient Middle Eastern traditions weave them inextricably together into claircognizance.

• Intone Om.
• Ask silently three times and aloud once: Dearly Beloved Indwelling Holy Spirit, what is the first step toward Thy/my goal you want me to take beginning today?
• Pick up a pen immediately to capture the response.

Joy Borum utilized intuitive insights during high-conflict mediations. She anticipated a friend's gift from Argentina as a prayer shawl before it was unwrapped.

• Stand in front of an altar before a client call.
• Light a candle.
• Chant soul vows.
• Ask: What is this person ready to heal right now, and help me be of service for that.

Usha Sharma discovered a signed copy of Jose Silva's autobiography after experiencing a physical energy bolt in a bookstore.

• Call all parts of self to be present.
• Walk slowly up stairs.
• Stop at each step corresponding to a soul vow.
• Embody the action or feeling of each vow explicitly.

Wendy Kennedy walks slowly on her stairs at night, taking a deep breath for her breath vow and kissing her puppy for her unconditional love vow. Maggie Reyes chanted a daily four-line prayer in Spanish with her husband on sacred Blackfeet land.

• Say daily: I am here. I am present. I am open. I am ready.

David Whyte asserts that no human competency protects against life's losses. Surrendering to God as the guide creates freedom and peace.

• Review the seven dance steps corresponding to soul vows: uniting with people to create good, treating everyone as a partner, honoring the Self in all things, spreading love, surrender completely, following Truth, and living life as a swaying prayer.

Sixth Paradox: I Know That I Know; I Know That I Don't Know

The sixth paradox balances claircognizance with knowing that you do not know the vast universe. Trusting the divine mystery replaces the need to have all answers.
