how do I begin Soul Searching?

Question

I think Ive managed to get inside my own head, and dammit, it seems to be destroying me. how do i connect with my soul again? and not necessarily god

Answer 1

I started by looking at what i used to love but didn't do any more, then I expanded.

I dig Geology and rocks, then LIFE happened my depression took over and ..........

I found myself again in the mountains.

you already know how, it just takes time to remember.

Answer 2

You may be knowing what is your own head, but do you really know the other two words you have used : 'God' and 'soul'. I am afraid, you do not know.

If you are serious about going somewhere, you must know before going to the ticket counter where exactly do you want to go. Then only you can ask for a ticket for the appointed destination.

Likewise, you must know what you are searching for before troubling yourself with the task of searching. You are certainly searching for a thing which exists and you have certain idea about it, and if seen you can identify it. So, now coming back to Soul Searching, do you actually know what does Soul mean. If you don't know, how can you search for it?

Hence, first you try to know what soul means and the moment you get the answer, simultaneously you will understand what does God mean, without any additional effort.

Answer 3

First of all, try to figure out what's the purpose of this life.when you know what is your purpose and what you want to do then life becomes easier and more satisfying.
I hope this poem might help.

What is the purpose of this life?
What is the purpose of this life?
Money, holidays, a beautiful wife?
There is no point in us denying
Each heart beat brings us closer to dying
You’ll breathe your last
Your life will have past
Don’t pretend
Death’s not the end
You will taste death, death never waited
Look around you, everything’s created
It has a creator, it has a meaning
A mother gives birth and then comes it’s weaning
The sun rises and gives us light
It sets, then falls, the blanket of night
The plants all grow, when falls the rain
They give fruits to man, and they too will wane(disappear)
Why does man think that he will get away?
Spending life aimlessly, as if he’s here to stay
A fixed time is appointed, everything will perish
Everything you hate, everything you relish
Except the Almighty Allah, He will remain
And then will come judgment, all on one plain
Allah will say, I gave you life
I gave you health, wealth and a wife
What did you do with your time?
What did you do in your prime?
Did you spread my message, did you spread Islam?
Why not? Did you not read the Quran?
My friends, we muslims, we are so blessed
Allah gave us islam to supercede all the rest
My non-muslim friends, the Quran must be read
Read before it’s too late and you’re dead
You owe it to yourselves, it will make you cry
You’ll know these words are from the Lord most High
Instructing mankind to the purpose of life
And the reward, my friends is everlasting life
Our purpose is to worship our Lord most High
The reward is heaven where no one will die
You’ll have anything you want, all the best dishes
And Almighty Allah will grant all of your wishes
This life, my friends is just a cage
We should live by His orders, to be safe from his rage
You will understand when you read the holy Quran
You’ll know the religion of truth is Islam
Protect yourself and your families from hell
Embrace Islam and all will be well
For the deeds of this life, you’ll pay the price
In the depths of hell or in paradise
