Living the Life Your Soul Intended

by Connie Hill

Ainslie MacLeod is a psychic and the author of The Instruction: Living the Life Your Soul Intended, which spells out a new way of understanding your purpose. When he was young, MacLeod struggled and made many wrong choices until he understood what he was here to do.

Q. How does The Instruction system work?

A. In a session, I begin by looking at your soul age to understand your world perspective. Then we look at your soul type, and the primary and secondary influences. For example, you have a spiritualist type with a desire to make the world a better place and a thinker influence with a desire to learn. This person's life would have to be about forward movement and they wouldn't like doing the same thing every day. Then you might have the creator influence, which brings in sensitivity and idealism. Many elements go together to explain a person's mission. Understanding who you are and why you're here can transform your life.

Q. Many people have trouble because they feel they have to make money instead of doing what makes their heart sing. How does this fit with The Instruction?

A. Part of the illusion of this physical plane world view is that our jobs must be our life task. My guides tell me that what you do even two hours a week might be the most important part of your life. Raising children might be your life task. Obviously people come to me for career advice. But my spirit guides see a much bigger picture, like guiding people to enhance their life by listening to more music or spending more time with friends and family. Simple things like that or maybe a person will receive guidance to a job that is more suited to their soul type and mission.

Another thing I find with a lot of older souls is that they have a spiritual hole inside. As your soul ages, it tends to become more spiritual and less religious. Many of my clients have a very strong sense of spirituality but no idea of what to do with it. One of the things that fills that hole is connecting with your soul and your spirit guides.

My guides suggest that each of us need do something to help those less fortunate than ourselves. I have one client who has spent time in Africa working for an AIDS charity for many years. She is fulfilling her spiritual need by doing something that is bigger than herself that gives her a sense of purpose.
