Soul prints help us to widen our limited thinking of ourselves. Gafni claims, our stories are our sacred essence, and we explore our stories as “an intimate spiritual journey in which we depart from the narrow constricted straits in our lives and seek wider vistas” (p. 5). He continues, “only when our story is complete do we have the inner equilibrium and integrity necessary for healing and growth. When we leave behind sections of our story, we can never realize our soul print” (p. 6). He goes on to say, “Every nuance, event, image, and incident of our lives is a source of vital psychological and spiritual information. Telling our autobiographies, we forge a coherent narrative out of our life stories, shedding light on the meaning of our lives.” (p. 7). Finally, “telling our stories means coming out of hiding and returning to our sources. That is the only way we can really find freedom”(p.8).

To experience the wholeness and renewal that accompany soul print realization, you must learn to “dance in space between your darkness and light.” Re-examining Jung’s concept of the shadow, Gafni suggests that your shadow energy arises from your “unlived story,” and details the art of soul print integration: how to reclaim the unacknowledged parts of yourself and access the healing potential of the dark. “You can engage in every known spiritual exercise,” says Gafni, “but without roots in your soul print, your most profound gorgeousness, your deepest success, and your fullest joy cannot be manifested.”
