Find your soul purpose
and become fearless
e-Workbook
(Teal Swan’s work in practice)
by Walk Fearless
Have you found yourself taking many
courses, experimenting with several selfimprovement and meditation methods,
trying out different techniques, getting
somehow a breakthrough of your life,
transformed, and you still feel there is
something missing?
You might feel like things are getting better
for some time but then fall back into the
feeling that you are doing something wrong.
Then you get stuck with either:
» Blaming yourself and being frustrated,
thinking “how come I got it already,
and now I failed again?”
» Stop believing in yourself and giving
up, because it just seems you’re
incapable to “get it”. When you “get it”
next time, you already know you’ll fail
again very soon.
» Thinking that when you get a
breakthrough, it is a fake one anyway.
Do you want to know how to find this core
problem of your life? Do you want to start
feeling you are playing with life, and not just
handling it like an amateur tennis player,
trying to avoid being hit by the balls and get
out of it alive? If your answer is yes, great!
Shall we get to it?
First, you have to know WHY you are dealing
with one core problem - we’ll call it negative
feeling imprint.
It is because you chose your life experience
even before you were born into this world.
And that is what governs everything you do.
Consider that your soul came to this life with
a specific purpose. And to fulfill the purpose,
it will be looking for the situations, events,
relationships where it can experience the
contrasts, the opposite to the purpose it
wants to live out. The same as good can only
be experienced by knowing the bad.
In this workbook we (Agni and George) will give you examples on how the questions in this
workbook could be answered:
Agni
For example, for the soul to experience full self-expression, it will be generating situations
where it will suffer from supression and doubts in itself. It will attract circumstances, situations
and relationships that are making it feel trapped and limited. In other words, for you to know
which color is white, you have to know how the black one looks like. And if you’re missing this
So what to do about it? It seems like no matter what you do,
there is never an ending point. When one area seems to
work, then another one gives you a blow in the guts.
What if you would find out that in fact there is
ONLY ONE CORE PROBLEM to deal with?
Yes! There is one core problem around which everything revolves,
and if you solve that one, you are able to solve the reason for
all your unhappiness and not being able to be fulfilled.
1
particular piece of information - that your soul is intentionally creating these experiences you will perceive all the problems as enemies, a conspiracy against you, as something that
shouldn’t be happening. Whereas in reality the problems are not your enemies at all. They
are not sabotaging you, they are here to HELP you fulfil your soul purpose, to carve you into a
person who is able to experience what the soul has predestined (has chosen before birth) to!
How to find your soul purpose? Simply follow the steps in this workbook. We learned it from
this amazing woman called Teal Swan: http://tinyurl.com/tealswan-soulpurpose

Before you start...
Find a comfortable space where you can sit or lay down, and where nobody will disturb you.
If you need to tell someone not to disturb you, do it. This is your sacred time and space.
Observe your breath. Breathe deeply. Inhale fresh and relaxing air, and exhale hot and tense
air. Breathe continuously, without pausing between inhale and exhale.
This technique will calm you mind. Do it for a minute, or a few minutes if needed, so that you
feel relaxed and centered. The breathing also helps your brain and body get enough oxygen
to fully utilize its abilities.
You will take yourself through series of questions, to remember things from the past. It is
important that you don’t force yourself. Let your mind work on its own, it will give all the
answers you want. Take your time and be patient while waiting for an answer.

STEP 1 | Relationships endings
Look back through your relationships —romantic or not—, the ones that were the most
significant for you and ask yourself:
How did I feel after they ended?
Feel the feeling completely. Surrender to it. Allow it to embrace your body. Feel it in every cell.
Note: this will most probably not be a pleasant experience.
Agni
Guilty, like I was the one who screwed up. I was not good enough no matter how hard I tried
to adapt and please my boyfriends, molding myself into something I thought they would like.
George
I felt deep doubt in myself, a rejection, that my desires with her are impossible to realize. I felt
like there’s something profoundly wrong with me, feeling and thinking what I did. I stopped
trusting myself, believing in me. I was desperate, in despair and deeply sad, disappointed with
myself.
When you feel ready, say: I’m completely here with you now.
5
STEP 2 | Connecting with the memory
When you are fully in the feeling, ask yourself:
When was the last time I had this feeling?
Agni
Yesterday, when we were speaking with Sam and I felt I couldn’t express myself.
George
Today, when I wanted to be intimate with Agni.
How did it feel?
Agni
I felt suppressed, like I just couldn’t say what I really wanted.
George
I felt as though there is something wrong with me feeling what I want, and that she is
rejecting me.
Merge with this feeling again.

When was the first time I felt this?

Allow you to express yourself. You are amazing. I love you.
What would I, the grown up and wise “I“, do or tell my inner child to make them
feel safe in the situation, to make them feel better?

ourselves. Others will never know what is best for you, what is the right thing for you. And you
will become better and better by learning to trust in yourself. Confidence is what will bring
you closer to what you want and you can never fail, just learn.

How does the child feel after that?
Agni
I feel complete and at peace. I know I can trust myself that whatever I do is right, because I
feel it in my heart.
George
What my dad said has nothing to do with who I am. I can trust myself because that is the
only true thing I always have, me. I cannot fail. And I know that when I am confident, I can do
anything I always wanted. I remember being confident and doing that. And I don’t need to
feel fake when I am confident, because this is when I am the most connected to myself.
How did this negative feeling imprint reflect in my life?
What were the consequences of living with this negative feeling imprint?
Agni
I was suppressed and worried about what others will think of me. I was not standing for myself
and for what I believe in. I was pleasing people and doubting myself and my own choices.
George
I was waiting to take action. I had a clear idea, even others would say how great it is and I
wouldn’t follow it. I would hesitate until I was already upset with myself and started hating
others and the world for being against me. I would feel there is something wrong with me. I
accepted every thank you or praise as pity, as if they are just saying this to me but they really
think I am loser, a nothing... I kept creating relationships where I would experience rejection,
especially sexual one, and I would feel devastated afterwards. I would drink a lot of alcohol
for a long period of my life because I felt like I don’t belong here and there is something wrong
with me. I would postpone positive actions in my business until a point where the business
would fail and I would be the loser again.
15
STEP 4 | Searching for your soul purpose
Look for a contrasting feeling of your negative feeling imprint. This might be the feeling
the inner child feels after the process you just did on “How does the child feel after that?”.
You will know when it is the right one when you feel at peace, complete and that there is
nothing more missing than that. It might not be a direct opposite but something close or
similar. You might still have an upsetting feeling towards other people, who have previously
triggered your negative feeling imprint, or might do so in the future. In that case, look at what
you would need to bring into existence to make you be at peace with them (e.g. forgiveness,
acceptance, understanding).
What is extremely helpful in order to understand them is that you ask yourself: “Where am I like
this?” or “Have I ever been like this?” or “Am I capable of being like that as well?”. Be honest :)
Agni
Trusting myself and being fully self-expressed. Understanding towards others.
George
Trusting myself and in my actions. Being forgiving and accepting towards others.
You can also Google search or for the antonym. Note that maybe the exact antonym is not
your soul purpose. Use this only as extra guidance for finding what feels right to you.
Remember: the feeling/emotion you get the most connected with is your soul purpose.
Agni
guilty - innocent / judged - accepted / suppressed - expressed / ashamed - proud.
George
rejected - accepted / unimportant - important and valuable / messed up - whole and perfect.

your soul purpose easier.
Things to print into your heart
This is very important to understand:
THERE IS REALLY NO ENEMY OUT THERE.
Every situation, event and person are just messengers, actors in the game for your soul
to play out. They are there to assist you in what you need to experience to fulfill your
soul purpose.
Once you have distinguished your soul purpose (and your core life problem), you will keep on
getting a series of tests.
Agni
My dad wrote an email to me, saying he is disappointed by the way I live my life. I felt
confronted by his opinion of my life and of me.
George
She said that she keeps feeling like I want something more. I felt rejected because I didn’t
know why she is saying this. We both were supposed to have the desire of being intimate and
loving towards each other.
The tests are there for you to learn from them! So that when you are challenged again in the
situation, you have an opportunity to overcome it in a new way.
22
Agni
I realized I always reacted as a victim to such comments. I’d justify and try to convince my dad
(or someone else) to see the good in me and in what I’m doing. Seeing it as an opportunity to
fulfill my soul purpose, I wrote him an email, saying that I understand that he has his opinion.
Then I shared that I am actually proud of myself and what I do, and I told him why I do it, so
that he had an opportunity to put himself into my shoes. If he puts himself into my shoes is
his choice. I just gave him an opportunity, and I am complete by whatever he does with it. I
did my job by expressing myself.
George
I saw that something was off, so I wanted us to be completely honest with each other. I
asked her about her feelings and how she sees our relationship. She said that she feels just a
friendship and care towards me, but not a loving and intimate relationship. This was a shock
to me as before we would talk about sex and the deep feelings of love we had for each other.
I realized that in my life I want people I can trust, so I told her that she doesn’t have my trust
from this point as I don’t know what is true for her. And that I don’t hate or resent her.
I also said that I take my responsibility for not being more direct with my questions about our
future and what she wants. I said I was afraid to lose her as I had this deep doubt in myself and
complete lack of confidence. I already forgave her, but I also know I need to see her represent
the level of honesty and actions if we are to have any kind of closer relationship with each
other. I have never been so straight and respecting, and clear about what I want.
Life is giving you an infinite number of situations, and in each situation you will be faced with
the same problem - unless you have already learned how to live your soul purpose there.
Whenever you have a problem, just observe. Remember what your soul purpose is. Is the
problem related to your soul purpose? Most probably it is.
Thank the situation for giving you this problem: “Thank you thank you thank you for this gift!
This is an opportunity to fulfill my soul purpose”. So, when you are given a test from a life
situation, you can heal it through healing your emotions.
