Rachel's Soul

Seeking Spirituality For The Gender Gifted

 

"When we ignore the calling, when we ignore the truth, when we ignore our experience of ourselves of somehow mysteriously transcending the binary gender system, a deep psychological and spiritual wound is inflicted." ------Dr. Rachael St.Claire

Welcome to Rachel's Soul where the transgendered spirit is celebrated and nurtured!

Like most of us who have experienced life through a duel set of eyes, I had to come to a crossroads of sorts.  I either accepted the TG phenomenon as a gift and blessing, or as a curse rot with guilt.  Throughout my life, there have been times when I could have gone either way.  Times when I have been angry with God because my feelings and expressions of my female side have caused tears, frustration and confusion.  If God created me, then why did I have guilt about my total self, and why did others look at TG's as psychological or social deviants?

Rachel's Soul is an outgrowth of my ongoing journey to discover the spiritual gifts that TG's often overlook or ignore because we spend time dealing with the "stuff" that culture has thrown our way.  My hope is to openly share with you my spiritual journey and maybe hear from you also along the way.  Although religion plays a part in my own life, this is not about religion per se, but is open to the many ways God shows His/Her love and insights with us each day.
