1. Your Soul Has a Clear Purpose: Life Lessons are for Spiritual Growth
By Anne Pryor, M.A., Lovitude Soul Painter
Newsletter 3: The views in these newsletters are from my own experiences and learnings and are focused on practical
insights and actional tips for creating meaning and purpose in work & life.
Over the past 15 years, I have been on a personal and spiritual development journey. During this past year, I've been
in Wisdom School. I have learned many fascinating tools, methods, and deep insights that I'd like to share with those
that are open. I wish I would have learned these insights much earlier in my life.
On my journey and in doing my ‘work’ I have experienced many unexplainable phenomena that you may or may not
resonate with, yet. Some concepts will be very new and seem unusual to you. If you are reading this you have been called
to do so. If you keep reading then you are on your path and desire to experience more.

2. Over the next few months, I will use this LinkedIn Newsletter to share my story - take what vibrates with your energy and
leave the rest. No need to judge, just be with the words. They may trigger experiences for you. Enjoy the journey.
Your Soul Has a Clear Purpose
I have come to know, understand, and experience that your soul’s purpose is clear and preplanned. Once you become
clear and step into this purpose there is no turning back. That’s what is happening to me.
What is a Soul?
A soul is defined as a part of humans that is immaterial, immortal, separable from the body at death, capable of moral
judgment, and susceptible to happiness or misery in a future state. I call a soul essence. Essence can be described as
spirit. You ‘hear, know, or feel’ your essence through your intuition or your heart. In the last newsletter, I shared how I
discern essence from ego. Mine speaks to me on the right side of my head.
I believe that we are souls inside of a human body.
This body that we’ve chosen is our container for us to use while on earth in this lifetime. We use it to embody
experiences; to feel, hear, see, smell, taste, sense, which then turns into knowing, then wisdom.
You can never unlearn and experience that you’ve felt in your body – and that’s what we’re here to do – learn and
share all of our wisdom before we go.

4. Real Life - My Experience with Seeing Souls
I have seen two souls leave human bodies as they are transitioning. At the bedside of my grandma Lucy, in 1980, I helped
her transition. I was a sophomore in college and had no experience with the soul. Alone in her hospital room with her,
my folks had just left the room, she took her last breath. I was kissing her cheek, telling her how much I loved her and
how much I learned from her. That she was a very good grandma and that it was her time. She was now free to go.
As I did this, I saw a very white, cloud-like substance rise from the top of her head, hover slowly, zoom to the ceiling of
the room and evaporate. I felt very loving energy as I kissed my grandma goodbye. I felt a tremendous sense of peace for
her and for me.
The second experience was at the bedside of my dear Aunt Carol. She had a blood clot after a ‘simple hernia surgery’ in a
hospital in Salt Lake City. As the doctor removed her breathing tube a group of family and friends circled her bed and
prayed. As she took her last breath, I saw the same very white, cloud-like substance arise from the top of her head,
hover, almost as to look back at those of us in the room and say goodbye, and then fly out an open window.
I had the feeling, this time like I wanted to go with her. I felt a sense of floating. As the group moved into the family room
in the hospital, I could not feel my feet on the ground.
Neither of these experiences scared me. I never felt afraid. I was curious but not confused. I understood that their souls
had now transitioned to a new place. I felt like they would still be with and around me.
Question
Have you ever had an experience like this? What was it like for you?
Do We All Have a Soul?
Yes, we do. It doesn’t matter what religion, faith, belief you have we all have a soul. I am a practicing Catholic and I
would say that I am more spiritual than religious. I’ve honestly never read the Bible from cover to cover and I’m not very
good with theology.

5. Science has measured the weight of the soul. In 1907 a Massachusetts doctor named Duncan MacDougall devised
experiments that he expected would actually measure the soul.
Using six terminally ill patients on a specially-constructed scale bed, he measured their weight before, during, and after
death. His results were mixed, but he concluded that there was indeed a very slight loss of weight, 21 grams on average.

6. Scientists have been studying ‘near-death experiences’ NDEs for many years. I belong to and have presented with Risë
Kasmirski. author of "When Paradise Speaks", at the International Association of Near-Death Studies IANDS, on
“Exploring Spiritual Connection to Access Creativity, Healing, and Transformation.”
IANDS provides reliable information to caregivers, experiencers, and the public by publication of the magazine Vital
Signs; working with media around the world, sponsoring periodic North American conferences, continuing education
programs, offering a speaker's bureau of highly accomplished scientists, doctors and experiences, and producing a wide
variety of educational materials.
According to IANDS, surveys (conducted in the USA, Australia, and Germany) suggest that 4 to 15% of
the population have had NDEs.

8. Question
Have you or someone you know had an NDE? What was the experience? How did it change them/you?
Your Soul Has a Purpose
According to Ainslie MacLeod, a renowned Past Life Psychic and Regressionist, before you were even born, your soul
chose your purpose, personality, traits, and behaviors from several of the 10 soul types. This may be hard to grasp if
you’re not familiar with past life regression, or even believe that our soul lives on and we come back in other human
bodies. I understand if this seems odd. It did to me until I experienced the process and have seen many of my past lives.
If you want to learn more visit Ainslie’s website.
You can uncover your unique soul type by taking the quiz on his website. Oprah has interviewed Ainslie and you can
view the interview on her Soul Sunday program.

9. Real Life – My Soul’s Purpose
I have come to know my soul’s purpose - I’m a spiritual teacher, inspirer, and creator here to help souls awaken and heal
through color energy.
I’ve always facilitated meaningful connections through LinkedIn and in person, and now I do it through Lovitude Soul
Paintings, where I paint by blowing through a straw, energy from souls who have passed (after death communications,
ADC) into my art.

10. These paintings have been called ‘visual blessings’ and have helped hundreds of people replace their pain and grief with
love, inspire them to recall their life purpose, and reconnect with their soul groups.
I have many stories and testimonials from participants of our workshops and speaking engagements that have shared
their transformations. You can learn more about this in the next newsletters. You may also attend a workshop series
with Risë and me The Shift Network in our 7-part series beginning April 12, 2022.
A soul group is a team of souls who have a specific, unified purpose and service and who are connected in
a group endeavor by an inner resonance and understanding. I know the many people in my soul group and I'm attracted
to these people. They're the people that seem to 'know' you. You feel like you've met them before.
There are many ‘Mediums’ who can communicate with souls who have crossed over. James Van Praagh is renowned for
his abilities. He has written many books and shared his experience when he ‘communicated’ with Lucille Ball she said
that her mission in this past life was to help people heal with laughter. Sometimes it’s just that simple.

Or a good place to learn about past lives is by reading “Many Lives Many Master’s” by Dr. Brian Weiss. As a traditional
psychotherapist, Dr. Weiss was astonished and skeptical when one of his patients began recalling past-life traumas that
seemed to hold the key to her recurring nightmares and anxiety attacks. His skepticism was eroded, however, when she
began to channel messages from the space between lives, which contained remarkable revelations about Dr. Weiss'
family and his dead son.
Using past-life therapy, he was able to cure the patient and embark on a new, more meaningful phase of his own career.
This book is one of the breakthrough texts in alternative psychotherapy.
Questions

12. Have you ever felt connected on a deep level with someone and had a feeling that you’ve known them forever? They may
be a part of your soul group.
What do you think your soul’s purpose is? Does it ring true to you?
Your Soul Teaches Lessons with Every Experience
I have come to know that every experience, person I meet, failure I have, negative colleague I experience, broken bone,
fight with a friend, accident, etc. has a lesson to help my soul grow and learn. I don’t believe in coincidences. I believe in
‘tests’, or check-ins to help me on my path. I’ve learned that everything is a lesson and that I must be aware and allow the
lessons, not to judge them, get mad, take it out on others, or be negative and complain about the situation. Many lessons
are testing my ego and my trust in myself.
Here are ways that you may have experienced messages from your soul, according to John Holland, a renowned
Medium:
1. Dreams
2. Intuition
3. Synchronistic events
4. Wakeup calls
When these ‘lessons’ happen, thank your soul for the lesson. Ask your soul the meaning of the lesson and if there is
anything else that needs to be learned, cleared, understood or completed.
Real-Life - Soul Lesson in My Dream that Cleared Past Life Trama
I had similar dreams 2 nights in a row where I felt as though someone was trying to smother me. Both nights I awoke to
feel that this was more than a dream. I tried to scream but I was paralyzed with fright. I’ve had similar dreams many
times over the past 40 years.

13. This second night’s dream was different, however. Instead of me shaking in fright, I turned to the energy and I asked it
who it was, to show yourself, and tell me what it wanted me to know. I consciously let the energy know that I was not
afraid, I was grounded and in control, and that I wanted it to leave, go to the light, and never return. And that’s just what
happened. This was the first time that I had the courage to be strong, bold, and to confront the energy in the dream.
I have come to learn that this was a lesson - that my soul was ‘checking in’ on me to see if my soul energy was strong
enough to stand up to the unwanted energy. To consciously face it. To love me enough to trust myself. And I did!

15. I learned that I have had many past lifetimes of frightening dreams. This time my karma has been cleared from this
lesson. Karma is a Buddhist term meaning for every cause there is an effect. It is a very powerful law. This means that
for every action there is a reaction. Be aware of how you speak and act with your employees, spouse, kids, and pets.
Keep the most positive thoughts and energy. This law is like a mirror. You reap what you sow.
What to Do After the Lesson
· Thank your soul for the lesson.
· Watch the new paths that open for you.
· Notice a higher level of consciousness.
· Notice that you feel more centered and grounded.
· Feel a heightened sense of awareness, and experience knowingness.
· Speak from a place of intuition or wisdom.
· Feel more loving and desire to be more positive.
· Give more compliments to people.
· Provide more reassurance to others.
You may be called to do more ‘inner work.’
Questions
What patterns in your life are you experiencing? Do you see them as lessons? What are you going to do about them
now?

16. Once you start the journey you will complete it. You must be open, then you’ll be confused, then you’ll become clear.
Thank you for walking with me on this journey where everything is a lesson.
In the next newsletters, I will be sharing insights, tips, and models that have helped me in the process to become clear,
which may help you. Take what resonates with you and leave what doesn't. Thank you for doing your work. If you liked
