just look inside yourself, shut out all external influences and ask yourself, what YOU like love hate etc.

Glad to see this topic.
You need meditation. Its not simple else every one wud have done it. I can give some hints
You should have a aim before starting. You aim is to reach your navel. Close your eyes and feel as if you are entering your body traveling from your mind till your navel. There may be lots of obstacles.
Consider this with an basement cellar, which is not opened for some years. It will be dust and dark. Same is the situation with your mind / soul. It has not been invaded for Centuries.
Just remember all your obstacles are intentionally done to distract you so that you do not reach your goal. These cud be anything from noise outside your house, to itching that you get when u meditate.
Try this simple test, next time u get an itching while meditating, just ignore it and it will gone on it own.
After that you need no instructions, the way will be clear for u and you will see your soul.
All the best !

You need to know who you really are deep, down inside yourself...
it sounds as if youve come to a part of your life where you dont really know what to do next and feel unhappy...
soul searching is finding your inner self, the silent witness inside you, your soul.
Its like peeling away the many layers of your past problems, traumas, emotions etc... meditation can help but finding the right meditation method is tiresome as there are soooo many out there and one method does not always work on everyone as we are ALL different and unique!!

Why not take a few days off and come up to one of the islands here in Scotland and just do nothing but think what it is you want from life?? Sit on a beach and see how you feel. Always works for me. Get away from everything for a couple of days and just be with the peace and quiet.

you take inventory of your life as it is now change anything you dont like try to take a couple days off work and go some place quiet talk to god or the air for that matter. make sure your head is clear and think of where you see yourself in 5 years do some planning to reach those goals and dont let anything or anyone interfere with you getting those goals

Ok look.Soul searching can be multiple things.If you really need to discover who you are,spend more time with yourself.Do things you like,and if relaxation helps,yea take up meditation or aroma therapy.

I think some people have given you that advice without them really knowing what it means either. If you want I can offer some psychological ways of looking within yourself.

soul searching to me means look at my life, listen to my inner voice instead of listening to my heart regarding major life issues
decide what needs changing if any and do it

Go away for a while by yourself and have a think about what you have been through and what you would like to do.
