One of the best tools for this, I think, is meditation. For me, this is a tool that affects the soul through the spiritual and energetic change created in the process of meditating. It is a powerful tool for those who know how to use it, allowing the development of real power due to rejuvenation of our feelings and thoughts.
Real power is driven by an internal change and energy flow, a change in habits and adaptation to the unfamiliar. Out of mental and energetic flow a "behavioral flow" (changing behavior) is created. It allows us to create new experiences, for self-fulfillment. Flow is a cause for health according to Chinese philosophy, while the stiffness and harshness stop the Chi, the life force, which in turn causes illness and suffering. Therefore we must learn to release the stiffness that is still in us, and "undo" the complexity of our lives, as much as we can. Meditation, as a holistic experience, allows us to "touch" beyond mere thought, offering us not only to understand but to know the real meaning of release, which allows flow and rejuvenation.
Where the thought ends and meditation begins, a direct connection to the cosmos is created. This relationship allows us to change the nature of our heart, to release old traumas, enslaving lusts, unbalanced, weighing heavily on the race of life. Thus we can just continue to flow with life out of joy, serenity and rejuvenation. To flow elsewhere, to new dimensions, that we wish for ourselves.
Please imagine a drop of fresh dew, dripping down a lotus leaf. It trickles down, without any attempt to hold on to the leaf - this is the desired release.
Finally, I would like to wish you all a happy spring, calm and full of meditating experiences which will take you to exciting innovations and pleasant surprises in your life. So do not be afraid to meditate, to change and grow.
