I love the concept of soul surgery especially the emphasis on Awareness, Breath, and Compassion as essential tools for healing. It’s a kind of refreshing perspective that often prioritizes external fixes over inner transformation.
I believe that our mind and inner thing has some healing abilities that could heal our physical body.
Thank you for sharing this wisdom!
And I’m entirely new to the concept of ABC and soul surgery.
I'm in a deep dive these days Skye ... just sitting with my Wounded Child ... so much quiet sitting with her. Just sitting in a healing silence. And then there is the opposite, like a few nights ago, when I listened to a recording I'd made with my intuitive depth psychologist ... and I heard my own voice: it was loud, too loud, on the edge of hysteria -- harsh, aggressive, moving too fast, way too fast. After a while, I stopped the tape. I've heard this tone in my voice on these recordings before -- it was pretty shocking then and it was shocking again.
So now, I have the opportunity to actually *be* with myself after I've stopped listening to the tape and start listening to my own internal judgments. I watch as I judge myself. I notice the sentences I am thinking about the way I sounded. I was calling myself *names* (there were a *lot* of self-attacks) for even *noticing* these tones in my voice. They are simply sounds ... generational sounds from my lineage, from my past lives. Sounds that I am noticing now, that I've never been able to notice or hear before. And because I can hear them now, I am changing. I am kneeling before them actually. They are just old patterns, old programming that are letting go.
The next morning, I asked my husband, "Hey honey, do I sound loud or aggressive when we're talking?"
"Oh yeah, sure," he said, "You are just you, it's OK."
"Whaaaat?!" I thought. "I *do* sound like that!"
"And yes, you do interrupt a lot when people are talking."
"OMG! OMG!"
And there it is. So my healing is in my own hands ... can I love and accept and cherish this loud, aggressive, harsh-voiced person it turns out that I am sometimes, maybe a lot of the time -- and that I've never noticed until now? (I hear my Inner Critic's voice so, so loud right now!)
Who else is going to do it? Who else is going to love and accept and cherish me -- who else matters more to me than me? Who else is gonna take my hand, hold it, and tell me, "I love you no matter what. No matter *what* I love you. You are precious to me." Yeah, that's me.
Thank you , Dawn, not only for reading my piece, but for your vulnerable and powerful share here of what self-compassion sounds like.
It doesn’t often start out pretty, but when we have the courage to deeply love ourselves, then compassion becomes the healing elixir and catalyst to aid the journey.
Sending you love and wishing you tender moments with yourself. 🙏✨💗
Hi Skye ... well, I loved your piece and I felt inspired by it and by what is arising for me lately ... are you working on any essays or stuff like that? I've started a memoir, just the start and a lot seems to be opening to continue working on that ... but, I'm just doing the work ... and it feels like a lot of fun.
This was GREAT Tamy, frameworks are great for sharing useful wisdom. Thank you 🙏
Thanks, Lachy. Agree! 😉
Tamy your words are like honey! This was a lovely read while sat outside in the sunshine sipping on my coffee.
LOVE your ABC of soul surgery. It is amazing how you have combined your surgeon experience with spiritual awakening to fuse something truly inspiring!
So glad to have come across you on here. Substack delivered! Thank you for what you do!
WE ARE ONE 🫶
Thank you Oliver, your words warmed my heart. 🙏🥰
As a Soul Surgeon, all I aspire to is to reach other hearts and souls. Thank you for seeing me and my life’s path.
ONE. LOVE. 🙏♾️💗
Love this so much: “The mind is like an untrained puppy – darting here, sniffing there, chasing after every passing thought.” - the dang truth! 🐶 🧠😆
And the ABCs are beautiful. Can’t wait to learn more next week!
Ain’t that the truth! lol🐶💫🙂
Thanks so much for reading and reflecting back, Lavender. I appreciate you
Love it! I was also embarrassingly excited to see the use of Scrabble tiles!
haha thanks Ryan, I get you! I was excited to find the scrabble letters too.🙂✨
Thanks for sharing your soul surgery principles! Awareness, breath, compassion = the best ABCs.
Thanks for reading and reflecting back, @Karm C, PhD 🥰✨🙏I appreciate you.

Thanks for reading, Jai. You and everyone else are new to the concept of Soul Surgery bc I made it up and sharing it with everyone LOL
Also, I think you meant ‘tools that prioritize inner transformation over external fixes’.
Haha, yeah! I know you made it up because I searched for “Soul Surgery” on Google and couldn’t find anything like it. By the way, great name!
You should patent it before someone else does! 😅😅
And yeah, that’s exactly what I meant.
haha funny you googled it, Jai. Thanks !

So wonderful to hear you’ve started your memoir! I love your writing. It always feels free flowing and authentic . 👍🏻👌🏻
I continue working on my memoir. I haven’t published any of it here, but might publish excerpts in the future.
I love using the space to share my Soul Surgery and spiritual work with others. 🙏🏻✨♥️
