There is a quiet voice inside each of us that knows more than our busy minds. Wisdom from Your Soul is a small, practical companion designed to help you pause, listen, and act from that deeper place. I wrote it as a collection of short meditations, reflections, and practices you can use at any moment—no special training required.
What this book is and how it works
Wisdom from Your Soul is not a book you need to read from cover to cover. Think of it as a pocket oracle, a reflector, and a coach. If you are wrestling with a decision or seeking clarity, bring the question quietly to mind, close the book, and open to any page. The words you land on serve as a mirror to your inner knowing—an invitation to listen to whatever arises inside you.
The guidance you receive is not mine. The writings are prompts and reflections meant to help you connect with your higher self, your inner witness, or simply that still, guiding light we all carry.
How to use the book: a simple practice
- Hold a question. Keep it simple and sincere—about a choice, a relationship, or your next step.
- Center briefly. Take a breath or two. Turn inward for a moment.
- Open to a page at random. Read the passage slowly and notice what resonates.
- Listen inwardly. What physical sensation, image, or word arises? Trust that response for a moment.
- Journal or reflect. Write a sentence or two about what you received and how you might act on it.
- Test it gently. Act on the simplest, safest next step and observe the results.
Practices that appear again and again
Two practices I return to in the book are the witness position and the morning/night reflection. They are deceptively simple but powerful when practiced regularly.
Becoming your own witness
Stepping back and watching your thoughts and actions without identification creates space for wiser choices. This is the essence of what I call becoming your own witness: observe motives and reactions as if you were an impartial spectator. In that space your higher self can be seen and consulted.
Morning intention and evening review
Try this daily:
- Each morning, close your eyes for a moment and look at your day with reverence. Set an intention for how you want to meet difficulties.
- At night, review the day without judgment. Note where you met your intentions and where change was needed.
- Allow this practice to be gentle. The goal is awareness, not perfection.

Where the book came from
I wrote these pieces during a time of convalescence after a broken hip. Confined to bed and craving meaning, I reached inward and let what came through be laid down on paper. Some entries are reflections on quotes I loved; others came as spontaneous insights during meditation. The book became a way to formalize that inner dialogue and make it portable for others.
Key lessons and takeaways
The heart of the book rests in a simple idea: you have a light within you. Call it soul, higher self, consciousness, God, or intuition—whatever word fits. When you cultivate a relationship with that light, guidance becomes clearer and decisions feel truer.
A few practical truths I emphasize:
- Access takes practice. Tuning into your inner self is a discipline—meditation, reflection, and devotion help.
- Eclectic is effective. Spiritual truth appears across traditions. I draw on many sources, from Eastern teachers to contemporary voices, and distill what helps you find clarity.
- Compassion matters. Approach yourself as a witness, not a judge. Self-compassion opens the way for authentic change.
A brief poem: Soul Questions
When is a soul’s life complete? Never replied the resounding voice in my head.
When does a soul know to move forward? A soul is always moving forward.
How does a soul pick its lessons? When the page turns a lesson is new and it is revealed.
Can we talk with our soul? My dear, who have you been talking to?
The unexpected—and why to stay open
Over decades of practice I have learned that guidance appears in many forms. Once, in a therapy session, a patient spontaneously regressed into material that neither of us expected. That experience expanded my view of how inner wisdom can arrive—sometimes subtly, sometimes startlingly—if we create a safe space to listen.
Spiritual, not religious
This work is intentionally spiritual rather than religious. It borrows from many teachers—Yogananda, the Buddha, modern spiritual authors—and folds those ideas into short meditations meant to help you connect with your own source of truth. You will find quotes and reflections designed to be universal, not doctrinal.
Final invitation
If you are searching for a gentle way to practice inner listening, try the methods in Barbara Sinor’s Wisdom from Your Soul for a week. Keep a small notebook by your chair. Note how often you act from intuition and how your days change when you honor that quiet center.
If you want encouragement, follow an author page or an author newsletter where short meditations and practices appear regularly. The more you practice witnessing and setting intentional mornings and evenings, the easier it becomes to let your soul lead the way.
Find peace, embrace change, and let your inner light guide you.
