Relevance?

I could not grasp this story, even after it was explained at the finish. Maybe it’s just beyond me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Omg

This was the first time I heard one of these stories. I absolutely loved it. And I am now going to do a meditation to connect with with my soul. I hope I get more of these stories. Awesome. Thank you so much. Xxx

The Four Wives

I recognized that I don't invest enough in my soul's happiness and goals now. I was unbalanced with my focus on it for many years, and I made other things too important after attaining the progress that I was looking for. It's a part of us that needs daily care.

Soul comfort

I never think about my soul being with me all the time. Every moment good or bad it’s there so I may call upon it for guidance and comfort. Instead I struggle to deal with stress and anxiety or pain. I will remember that I’m never alone when life gets tough, and to look within to my soul for the answers. 🙏 Namaste

In the end...

In the end, my soul is the only thing that I own and that will be with me forever. I need to be kinder to it. I need to listen to my intuition and allow it to guide me. Love myself for who I am and be the best me I can be.

Pay attention

I guess the moral of the story is that I (we) must pay close attention to my mind, body and soul to assure that I am one with the Higher Power (my God). When my time comes, I want there to be a genuine trueness to the life that I have lived. 🙏

The time to love your soul is NOW

We often neglect our souls in our pursuit of wealth; the perfect body; trying to please friends and loved ones; and all manner of hedonism. But none of those things comes with us when we pass. Only our souls do.

I felt nervous I thought it would be a creepy story I don’t know why.

I learned that we have to take better care of our souls. That in the end our souls are the only thing we have for ever as they are the only thing that will follow us to heaven.

Anxious

All this story did was make me nervous about death... i wanted to sleep. I loved it but i didn’t want to think about dying when i already can’t sleep

Grief—mustard seed story

Rather thuan going from neighbor to neighbor, I stormed God’s doors. My father’s God, my mother’s God, my Grandfather’s...and tried to pay attention to Buddhist teachings... I converted to Judaism. I was, in effect, trying to get the help I should have gotten from my neighbors—from the Unknowable. Trying to take a shortcut around the depression & isolation that characterizes my grief by ignoring the hands of neighbors, of friends. Theirs are the hands of God in this world.

Sunday, April 22

taking care of myself is so hard, but so important. but while it is important, it is also important to be happy and to treat yourself.

How I feel

I feel like I don’t cherish my soul or anyone sometimes I feel like I treat everyone like crap including myself or sometimes I treat everyone like my Kings and queens and I treat myself like crap I just wish there was a way to be more better w myself 😢

How I feel..

I gathered from this story. That no matter how much you do for someone, their is always a chance that you will get token advantage of.

Wow

I thought that was just going to be a fairy tale with no meaning while it was actually true and insightful. I never realized what my soul is to me until now.

The Story of the Four Wives - Reflections

I learned that even though you might care about you status, your body, and your friends and family, you must care about your soul the most. Your soul is often the most neglected part of you. No matter what your status cannot follow you belong the grave. No matter what your body can only be buried, no kept. No matter what, even if you love your friends and family they do not accompany you beyond the grave. Only your soul will follow you. Your soul is the best and worst part of you, you best friend, your worst enemy. All of it. And you must love and care for your body over everything.

the story of the 4 wives

i learnt that the soul is so important and it will be the only thing with me forever. i need to start taking care of it now before its too late. i need to love my "first wife"

Day 1

We focus too much on the materialistic goods and social status that we sometimes forget about our soul and who we are. Our physical things won’t carry on, but our soul will.

Loved

Easy to neglect our soul.. when we are so busy trying to keep a facade.

4 wives

Our souls are the only thing we truly own and we should take care of them more. Instead of worrying about what others are doing or trying to fake a lifestyle, I should focus on myself and take the time to nourish my soul.

The four wives

I learned that sometimes what may seem important in life isn’t always the when where who and how but it just is .. just as is 🙄

Four Wives

I feel it’s important in life to find your own happiness. Find what makes you happy then life has a purpose.

Four Wives

A great story that like Wendell makes me think long and hard. Now I must listen again

Human being tends to be superficial

We are the slaves and followers of our senses while those are only a very small portion of our being.

The four wives

This is a wonderful story to showing us what really needs to come first in our lives and what truly matters dead or alive

I learned...

I learned that no matter how desperate I am towards being something I am not I can only accept myself completely go who I truly am.

Didn’t help me sleep

I found that the reader’s voice was just making me cringe; it was too cheerful for a bedtime story, I was just more awake after the story

Thoughts

As our soul goes, so do we - we must nurture it and help it grow so we can be the very best version of ourselves.

Reflection

I cherished how the whole story was taken round back to how our soul is so valuable. It really is. It’s something eternal that cannot be replaced and yet we disregard it. These are the kinds of moments that make me turn back into religion. What a beautiful story/anecdote.

The four wives

I loved this story, but for me the first wife represented something religious. But that may just be me, it was very relaxing and made me want to hear more.

What I learned

I need to love my who I am inside and value it I love to do the thing I like and I should no that more and start to put myself first

Four wives

I thought this was an interesting twist and and representation on our layers of being human. An inspiration to take care and love our soul with integrity.

Four wives

I liked the symbolism. It created a deep meaning from a simple story. I did find it a little inspiring

Story of the four wives

I learned that don’t forget people who love you the most and want to take care of you

Feel

I need to take care of my soul and be mindful as well as take care of my so rounding supporters

Anxiety

Don’t neglect your soul for other things that are going to leave you in the end.

Truth

This is true, we get so caught up in other things in life investing in materials or looking out best or investing in our friends in family ( which is important, but not what is most important ) we can't fill the cup of others if our own cup is empty. We should all take time to invest in our selves.

i felt inspired

you have to love your soul, you have to know that whatever or whoever leaves you, you know that you will always have yourself with you and they can never leave you.

4 wives

Felt more aware of the importance and reach of spirituality.

Story of the four wives

I learned that you have four “wives” and one is your body another is your positions the third is your family and the last is you soul and spirit and you have to focus on your soul and spirit and nutrient it the most out of all your “wives”.

Gentle

I learned we have to be kind and gentle to our souls because it’s the longest relationship we will ever have. Everything else will leave when we depart, except for our souls. So cherish it more.

Four Wives

I learned that sometimes you can try to do things in life and then when you die, it gets you nowhere and doesn’t come with you. But our soul stays with us forever. It doesn’t leave us. So when our souls is on a different path, we have to gain and control and to be helpful in every way. I don’t know any other way to say it...

Soul

This story was amazing. I feel as if i do give attention to the soul. But it doesn’t hurt to give it more.

This is so amazing and a real reminder to stay true to yourself! I a

this story has reminded me that you matter and life can help you forget what is really important by waving all the superficial things in your face.

I noticed that no matter what, that first wife will never leave you, no matter how bad u treat her

I learned to stay true to myself and not let money and wealth try to make me happy when it’s not that that will make me happy in the end

My words :

Love yourself to reach peacefulness 💙 appreciate it , treat it , take care of it .. You are your first and loyalist friend ..

self care

i need to put my soul first. it is the only thing that i will have forever, even after i die.

I know now

That I need to love myself , my soul . Because other things can’t always stay by my side

Incredible and unique experience with this story!

I learned that my status (wealth, positions, popularity, etc.) are cared for most but aren’t that important.💝 My body (function and looks) are dwelled on but don’t stay with us wherever we go (like when we die).💖 My guidance (brain, friends, family, etc.) are important and deeply appreciated, but don’t last.💕 My soul stays with me forever, but it often neglected. It is the center heart in this emoji.💗

Me

I learned I need to take care of ME..and not worry about all of the other “necessities “.

Choice

It’s our choice to dwell on notions that cause us sorrow, it’s our choice to neglect the one’s that have been present during arduous times, it’s our choice to life our life as we please...but remember happiness may not be our choice. ‘‘Tis to be earned

Reflecting 🤔

This story is so true we chase after wealth fame and materialistic trappings and we forget to nurture our Souls 🙏🏻🌺

🌺

If we tend to our inner needs we have more to harvest beyond this life. If we neglect our inner needs often our soul purpose feels lost.

Focus

We focus so much on all the material things in life and our soul just withers away right under our noses. All it takes is a shift in focus to be so much happier and healthier.

Four wives

Pay attention to your soul. It is the only thing you can take with you beyond the graved

Never forget

I have heard this tale before yet I felt as though I was hearing it for the very first time. it wasn't until it ended that I realized I have heard it before. To me it reinstates that we must truly always be aware of where and what we are doing now in this moment?

Neglected soul

I always think of music when I hear the word soul. Maybe because music feeds my soul like nothing else. I’d take this story a step further to say that I cannot delegate the care of my soul to another-to harmfully ask them to become codependent on me. My care of my soul is a nondelegable duty I will always have. We can and should learn from others what feeds our soul, but there that role ends.

Revelation

I was not expecting the message in this story...it was beautiful! Often we think that material things and status or how we look in the outside is what matters most...but without a peaceful happy soul...we have misery. Honestly...When he came to the first wife I thought about God (which to me is our soul) and how He’s always there for us and how we often ignore Him but at the end of our life...He’s patiently there loving us and ready to take us home. ❤️🙏

Atma

I learned that our soul is our only wife. The rest if just part of the journey.

Four wives

A lesson to value your soul above all else. Powerful lesson.

Powerful reminder

This story is a powerful reminder of the reality and finality of death, and the realness of ourself. I have been on a journey of self discovery and rediscovery this past year or so. The incredible value of wife number 1 has become clear to me. She is the one who will pick you up when you fall, soothe your own broken heart, cheer for you own successes, and allow your heart and soul to be joined by another.

Soul soother

Well shit! I was not expecting that at all. It goes to show that no matter who you are, where you work, who your family is, and how much you possess, you must always take care of your mind and soul first. If you don’t, in the end, you’ll never truly find peace and that’s life’s greatest lesson.

Four Wives

An interesting story showing how the only thing that remains when you die is your soul. You will be remembered for the kind of person you were while alive, not for your money, your body or your family.

The Four Wives Inspired Roads

I felt energized to nurture and connect with our soul and spirit first to become the best self version of wives representing the body (looks) positions (status)and family (this is important to build but don’t neglect love and the people who cares)that matters most in our lives

Learn

We need to focus on things other than being greedy or even just think about thing in a different way like this

Wow

Wow that’s a great analogy re four wives. Def a good perspective. Thanks for sharing.

Relax - weight of water

It keeps bothering me.. because it is not the glass that will make you numb after holding it for hours.. but it is the contraction of your muscle.. it would be way better if it is about the lesson in relaxation .. Relax.. mentally and physically..

I feel lonely. I feel hurt. I feel scared.

No matter how much I love others, I will always be alone. Loving myself is hard and I don't know how.

I felt it was clever to refer the four wives to for powerful sectors that make up our whole being🌈✨

I learned that the four sectors that refer to the wives are us & what we need to to learn to prioritize and take care of and not neglect because you can only take 1 of the 4 not them all.. choose wisely

A good reminder

At 44 my lifelong struggle has been self love and acceptance. This story was a poignant reminder that self love is the most important love of all and the only love that is truly eternal and should be invested in just as much or even more than all the other loves.

Interesting story with lots of meaning

I learn to love myself no matter what because at the end of the day if you die you’re by yourself was a strong message for me. Who can love you better than yourself? I must come first. That's what I have a hard time doing because I love helping others and want to see them happy disregarding myself. Trust me, you lose yourself unless you take time for you.

The Four Wives

I learned that it’s not too late to nurture my soul, though I have neglected it these many years. I think nurturing my soul will help me nurture others.

❤️

I learned that I need to love myself and start with this now before it‘s too late

Loved this story. Helped a lot.❤️

I learned that I need to love myself first and take care of myself first. The only thing that will stay with me is my soul.

Self Care

I used to be one to get so caught up on what’s new or what’s new, name brands and staying skinny. I got sick, suffered from an eating disorder for 10 years. It wasn’t until after I had my son that my attention drifted from every I’m not and everything I don’t have, to something simple and beautiful. Staying physically and mentally healthy is my priority. It’s not a a chore! I enjoy taking care of my body , my mind and my soul. Finding my faith again, was the most life changing experience in the road to self love.

Perspective

As a child when making hard choices/decisions they often tell us “this or that” Giving your life this same ultimatum may not end with happiness, but possibly regret, dissatisfaction, and displeasure. Life doesn’t have to be this or that, but simply this and that. The four wives told a tale about a merchant who loved his 4 wives differently who treated his 4 wives differently as all 4 wives are different. You are promised two things in life. One, that you live and you die. Two, you will go out the same way you came in with nothing. Wife 1 is anything you decide is worthy of your time. Spend it wisely.

Real value

Sometimes we give so much importance to what is not real important . Let it go and new came .

Perspective

This story made me realize that I had shifted focus from my soul and help med realign my priorities

June 16th, 2018

I noticed I felt humbled. Now is the only time to love yourself, your soul, the 1st wife. It is the only thing that will follow you out of this life! Self-respect and self-love are important.

Our Soul

Women our special! We are kind, loving,thoughtful, many things that our Husband don’t understand about us. I’ve been married 49 years this year a great way to look at our self. Men and women our different, I Love my Husband and I will always be with him!!

Whimsical Wednesday 6-20-18

I’m really stump on this story other than your soul is more important than anything and you need to pay attention to it. To shy away from it. Family is very important and needs to be respected. Then you got your high maintenance and not so important. Thank you, Aura. Have a good evening Everyone!😀

distraction

i had a headache and this really helped me think about other things and get my mind off of it

Faith

Reminded me to always look to the Lord first in any situation.

june 25 2018

i learned that it is very important to take care of your soul. you are the only thing that is there for you for your entire life. people leave and wealth and possessions are not permanent and won’t matter forever.

6.25.18

I learned that it is very important to nurture your soul as much as your physical body. We live in such a materialistic world that the soul is often forgotten

The Story

I learned a very valuable and important lesson in this story, and I think the story was a very good way to teach the lesson.

The Story of 4 wives

I learned that we should take better care of our soul. Put our worth into having a healthy soul instead of materialistic things.

The 4 wives

This is amazing. Self love feeds our ability to love others. Let’s take care of our inner and outer selves first, above all, so we may be ready to care for others.

Understanding...

This aligns with my beliefs completely and is an excellent teaching story! Let me explain... I Am here in this 3 dimensional physical world, so I have some position or status. It does not matter in the long run if it is high or low (in societies eyes) because we are all just as good as anyone else. No better, no worse - just different. So the 4th wife is merely an illusion of false success, we really cannot & should not marry her in the first place. I have a body - it carries out tasks and houses my mind, but I am not that body. While it is important to take care of it while I am here, in the end it will not move on out of this world with me, so my body is not truly me. I have a mind - I think, therefore I am! It is a creative center of more power that we give it credit for. It creates what our physical body will look like, what our surroundings will be and our future. I have a mind & again it is good to nurture & develop it, but it is not me. I Am a Soul! A unique, small, but important part of the One Energy source known as God (or whatever name you want to call it). I believe a way for God to be expressed more fully by my living my life in my own unique way. Put here for some purpose that I am to discover - some form of helping others - to make the world a more complete place. I Am married to this wife for sure and thus better treat her right because I will move out of this world with her - my soul. I hope to help others adopt an understanding of this to recognize what is truly important in life! I have life, I have a body, I have a mind, But ... I Am a Soul! ❤️☮️🍀

Amazing

This story was so amazing! I learned that you need to take better care of your soul and stop worrying about stuff that honestly doesn’t matter in the end.

Value

What we value is often possessions, popularity, or more ways to be prideful when what has true significance is our souls. If we would take as much time caring for our souls and getting them healthy rather than focusing on fattening up all of the other areas like beauty or fortune, we would not only live a happier life but a more fulfilling and whole life as well. Surrender your soul to Jesus and trust Him with all of the other stuff and you’ll be happier than trying to feed the other areas all by yourself.

Love the First Wife While You Can

Good story, excusing the polygamy, about caring for our souls in this life.

Now is the Time

I greatly enjoyed the lesson here, thank you 🙏🏻 🙌🏻⭕️🙌🏻⭕️🙌🏻⭕️🙌🏻⭕️

The four wives

I learned to love and nurture the first wife while you can 🙏🏽✨

You only have your self at the end

I learned that no matter how many good friends or how wealthy you are no one will be there when you desperately need them and at the end of the day you can only count on your self

Your soul is the most important part of you

I learned that you need to truly love yourself before you can truly love others and this story helped me to see that.

Love thyself

Every day when you look in the mirror, give yourself a little unconditional love.

Day 2

It’s important to look after your soul as it is always with you no matter where you go the question is how do u look after your soul?

Me

Most days I forget to love me. Are used to be so good at it. I didn’t let my clothes define me or my possessions defined me where my partner define who I was or who I was meant to be. I have journeyed so far from those thoughts and feelings of joyfulness and love for myself that I’ve forgotten what it feels like. I need to venture back to that path for the sake of my own emotions and life.

myself

I maybe focus on the parts that don't matter, and I don't give enough attention to the parts that do. Thank you for helping me see that more clearly

Story 2

This was inspiring but the second it ended I was sad again. It didn’t do as much as I was expecting. I’m a bit disappointed. I loved the story but I didn’t fit with how I was feeling and should be moved into one of the other categories (stressed, great , okay etc.)

Spiritually Calming

I was feeling anxious before listening to this story but it helped to make me feel a bit calmer.

learning about myself

I realized I need to be a better person while it still counts. I've been so busy not be the best person I can be when I should be loving, caring, and compassionate

Learning

I’m learning that I need to start focusing on taking it one day at a time and not let the stress of my life circumstances rule me. I’m in control of my thoughts and actions and I’m also learning to try my best to remain positive throughout all of my life challenges.

Soul

I learnt that our soul will always stay with us so we need to love and care for it more than things like money and clothes that won’t stay with us forever

This a deep one.

This really hit home for me. I need to pay more attention to what my soul needs rather than trying to make everyone else around me happy.

Saddened

I learned that I haven’t fed my soul, and now it’s coming back to bite me. I only hope I can be better going forward, and hopefully help others feed theirs

Reflection

This made me reflect on how little time we have on this Earth and we should cherish every moment of it.

My true self

I learned that no matter how much money or possessions I have, the most important possession is my soul which needs to be free of all negative energy and filled with self love and love for others.

Paying attention to fourth and third wife

I need to catch myself when I am paying more attention to my fourth and third wife as I know I do often. I will always be happier paying attention to the second and most of all first.

Headaches

I have a headache did this help?i have school tomorrow and its August

Great!

Very well said in a short time. Thought provoking and forced me to reflect on my choices and actions in life.

Excellent!

i learned that how i became so blind in loving the 4th and 3rd wife more than i should have focused on my 1st wife or my soul. now I've realised that it is just my sole who's going to stay with me.

You are the sum of all the obstacles, you overcome

No matter what life is offering be grateful for you are alive and time is passing by. Take some time wandering searching but don't keep running after things that won't truly make you happy. Life is a journey, they say. So keep on moving move to get closer to your soul, which lives within but grows apart with every move you make, chasing for anything other than true happiness. Notice that our happiness lies within - now listen carefully - take a deep breath What is it your soul trying to tell you? Once you've understand, you'll see you've been knowing it all along. Everything, you desire to become. That's what I came up with, listening to this great story.

My Soul and My Passion, Me

I learned that, I need to take care of something I have neglected and forgotten, I should taken care of it early before it is too late. To pay attention to the one thing that makes me, me and cherish it like I’ve never before, and give to it what it deserved after all... it makes me who I am.

The beautiful Islamic story

I heard about this story before, and I know it’s Islamic. It’s so wise and meaningful.

The Four Wives

This beautiful little story was a wonderful reminder to learn how to love ourselves, first and foremost. This is the second time today that I encountered a reminder to extend loving kindness to self. The first was a poem. I would say it’s time to heed the call.

Changed

I realized that I need to focus more on purifying my soul so that I can truly be happy and I also need to focus on my family and keep them close and stop caring so much about appearance like I have for years.

Four wives

It’s important to nurture your soul. That is the only thing you take with you.

Four wives

We neglect ourselves so much trying to keep up with the things around us. I sometimes wonder why I allow situations to cause me to become depressed. I should be taking better care of my own mental health instead of letting the weight of the world tear me down.

The Four Wives

This is a wonderful story about the importance of setting priorities.

Four wives

It’s interesting how majority of people neglect the first wife. Although i think that it’s mostly in fast paced environments/societies. When i go to my hometown in Oaxaca, Mexico i am surrounded by nature i think mostly of taking care of what matters most-my soul. I think nature is tied into that.

time to take care of the 1st wife=soul

money, body, friends and family, are all important, but it will not be with us after death. i was reminded again, to take time in giving importance to the growth of my soul. it is really important to take care of our soul because it will be always our simplest and truest form.

The Fourth Wife

I’m like the merchant in that I also severely neglect my “fourth wife” which I interpreted as the quality of my inner self. Am I the person- because what makes a person if not their soul?- that I want to be? Meditation, recording my gratitude journal, and practicing mindfulness has helped to work towards changing that. And I’ve found as my “fourth wife” improves, so do my first and second

Story of the Four Wives

What a wonderful reminder to take care of my soul. I am always so busy that taking care of my spiritual side is the last thing that happens. But things have begun to change. I am taking that time and I am feeling so much better.

Don’t neglect the most faithful part of you

This was so eye-opening. Nothing will follow you beyond the grave but your soul. Yet we neglect that most faithful part of us, and instead reward the parts that cannot follow us.

Surprised..

I learned that we, as human beings (as well as myself) don’t care about ourselves but about what we perceive our selves to be from another point of view and we changed so that other like us. This showed me that, we matter more than anything to ourselves and we should be taking so much more care than to putting ourselves down because of what others think.

My first love

I have learned that sometimes I just try to squeeze in time to take care of my spirit when that should be my first priority like a first love.

Favorite

Incredible story. So insightful and relaxing. 10/10 recommended to anyone interested in an awesome analogy for self care.

Story

Great story and very interesting point of view. I haven't seen it coming. It is very accurate though

Halloween 2018

This made me feel secure about my surroundings and people who support me.

Thoughts on the first wife

I noticed that I felt connected to the wives in turn- least with the fourth and most to the first. Sometimes I feel like I pour everything into someone/something for nothing, and I guess I should take better care of myself.

end versus parallel

The allegory of this story is somewhat disturbing and misogynistic - that a man would have multiple wives, ask them to die for him, etc. And he is "punished" by his sadness re the first three but then wife #1 says yes! What is that!? But the ending/point of it is very telling. Our souls are much more important than material possessions or status, etc.

I loved this story. Inspiring.

We all have four wives. Our status, body, family/friends and soul.

Reflection on the four wives

I learned that it is important to take care of our soul because we are the only ones who can. Others can have our possessions, our bodies, and our family and friends have life here. It is up to us to take care of ourselves.

Day 14

Often I forget to dust off the cob web filled husk that is my soul. I know it’s a priority I know I make excuses. I love myself. I want to take care of myself. Be kinder to me. And Kay too

wow

this has such a truth behind it and often we only focus and worry about what we look like in the eyes of others, and how we act around them. we don’t concentrate enough on who WE are, and in the end that’s the most important thing in life. we should all learn to love ourselves even if it may seem like the world is quicksand and we’re sinking faster and faster with no branches to use to pull ourselves up again. but we must remember someday that branch will blow pass us, the question is are we willing to grab it.

Feed Your Soul

This story reveals a truth that many humans don’t realize until they’re dying and it’s too late: all you will take from this world is your soul—not your possessions, not your body, not your friends. Make sure your soul is ready for eternity or the afterlife. I’m glad to have heard this story now so I can shift my priorities and take better care of my soul.

Everything left, except our Soul

Weder unser Hab und Gut, noch unser Körper oder unsere Freunde/Familie folgen uns auf ewig. Lediglich unsere Seele, also sollten wir uns dieser annehmen und kümmern, anstatt den anderen Sachen.

Four Wives

Cassandra’s story about the four wives is a sobering reminder of the importance of cherishing our soul with love and compassion. ♥️🙏♥️

the four wives

to us, as we are alive and well, many things like wealth, appearance and family are the most important but in the long run, when we die, we will need loyalty with us, supporting us, being there for us when nothing else is, and believing in us/staying loyal to us when we aren’t loyal to it. life is more than just appearances and wealth, we need to realize how short life really is and what we can do to make the most of it

Soul searching

It’s evident that we’re existing to better ourselves and reach satisfaction. However, only temporary joy can be found. Fulfillment comes from an inner peace. Plus, enhanced well-being results from how much effort we dedicate to self-care and meditation. My soul needs some TLC

amazing

i was not expecting this. such a beautiful and inspiring story.

thene for the year

in 2018 i really didn't take care of my spirit even though i read the bible daily. my walk with God even as i tried to push it to greater heights it wasn't soaring like i wanted it to be. this year or a few weeks ago when i graduated on what i wanted theme of 2018. i kept hearing be still and open. thats expanded to be still be open be the light and be love. and those are all part of spiritual practice and progress. be still and know that i am God i want to be still with God and meditate on the word. be open to all the wa ys God .....is going to bless me in 2019 that i never expected. be the light as a christian i sm repredenting God on earth and must let his light and love shine through me. i have yo love more because God is love.

Greet every morning

I learned that we should greet every morning with happiness and joy.

The best so far

Ugh I absolutely loved this one! It has such a good moral!! I haven’t been on aura for long but I definitely enjoyed this story.

The merchants four wives

Its true no matter now much time you spend with your body and your friends only your soul will be with you forever

First

This was an amazing story. It really helped me open up my eyes to what follows me even after life. Sometimes I forget this and have to keep reminding myself of this fact.

4 wives

I initially turned off the story but I’m so glad I heard it to the end. So true ! We neglect our soul while feeding the others 🤔

1AM

Even if i amanxious about an exam or an event and can't sleep meditating helps and can help me sleep

I was completely stunned by its lesson in the last moment

We should not let our soul to degrade although everything may eventually degrade

Feeling?

I greatly loved this stort. it puts me at ease and make my have a safe feeling that everything is actually okay. This story lets you know what u need to focus on and tells u not to worry.

Inspo

i learned that learning to love your soul and give yourself some attention and loving yourself will make you feel amazing and free spirited. put yourself first. take care of yourself. breathe. just take in the little time for yourself and cherish it to your best ability.

Touching

This made me remember how much you’ll realize what someone means to you when you have to lose them. And how you should always keep the people who love you close. They don’t deserve to be neglected.

Lesson

I learned that I have neglected my soul for a very long time

chant

My Pain went away.. I felt calm and relaxed. Though I feel I need to learn more languages.

beautiful message

the meaning of the four wives is deeply significant and made me feel really touched by the story! Very nice!

wow

at first i thot this story was depressing but when i learned the meaning i realized how important my soul and spiritual well-being really are. i neglect them too much but i feel i should focus on it more instead of the other “wives”.

FourWives

I loved this story. it really hits home what is important in life. Your soul. we must take care of it and nourish it while we are still here and able to. otherwise it will not be strong or healthy when we leave earth.

Four wives

This is an interesting way of portraying this subject. Though I've always known that nurturing your soul is the most important thing to do in order to achieve happiness.

Four Wives

This story is excellent! It teaches us about priorities in life. Listen and you shall too begin to prioritize what truly matters in life. Enjoy! ❤️🙏🏻

How?

How do you love your soul? how do we give each one of our “wives” the love and attention that they need that the deserve?how can we maintain a healthy mindset, body physically and emotionally? How?

Eye opener

I learned I do always more for others than I do for myself and tend to forget I need to do what makes me happy ultimately. I think that’s an area I should focus more on

Story of the Four Wives

It was great it showed me that a lot of people can care about someone and that someone doesn’t even know that!

4 wives

i learn about how important is taking care of myself. i heard about a book regarding what pple regret the most at the time of death. most of the pple regret doing things for others or cuz others. i use to hide behind of my kindness. i spend too much time caring for others; neglecting myself. hope this new step (aura) im taking can help me to focus in myself

I felt relaxed

I learned that I need to take better care of myself instead of trying to care for everyone else

I felt calm

I’ve learned that I should take better care of myself and take time out of the day to just focus on myself and maybe even meditate

I now realize.

That everything you do in life all the things around you stay that way, living is all about taking chances noticing your surroundings and caring for yourself & acknowledging your own existence.

I felt very light after taking this session,no one can make u happy until you make yourself happy

That only you id your friend,so polite with yourself only,no one is responsible for your happiness or sadness,life is full of storms but when you have u,nothing is difficult no one can hurt u😍

The four wives

I learned that it was very relaxing when I listened to it with my eyes closed. I also learned that the story was right, we all have four wives. It was inspirational and kind of eye opening. Really good.

It was so beautiful

I learned that we should love our soul more Other things will leave but our beloved souls

Meanings

From the story of The Four Wives, I learned valuable lessons that are true to the soul, mind and heart- After stressing a bit over life, I am now at ease, relaxed, and calm; even a little eager to start the next day. I feel very good now.

Day 1

Listening to the story of the four wives was definitely something I needed to hear and I have a feeling that my intuition is what led me to hear that one first. I have definitely learned that I should treat my soul with more care rather than damage it with other things-💚

I see

I learned that I need to take care of me and my eternal mind as that’s what make me

Everyone four but me one

I used to get sad because of my stuff being broken or my phone not being charged but I know now that I need to take care of me first

soul

it's our soul we need to nurture not anything else like status and wealth

The soul

I think I agree...your soul truly, is the only thing unique to you. I believe we take it when we die - is it out let energy? Energy cannot be created or destroyed. Our electrical energy will change yet continue. Will our souls do this? Must take better care of it. You are only here once. Surely we must be the best we can be

Love

You should never have more than one wife,because she is the one,the one you truly love.

Four Wives

Invest in your soul. Grow your spirit. Learn wonderful things. Visit beautiful places. Warm your heart. Your soul is what nourishes and protects you

Maybe

I did not like it because I’m a Christian And you shall have one wife

Feeling anxious

I’ve learned to look around and be ok with the now. To breathe deeply in and remember all is well. To loosen my shoulder and unclench my teeth! To start finding a way to release my stress!!!

the four wives

it's ok to be different and just treat them equally the same and I love the four wives

not appreciated

Please stop making commercials for the concept of polygamy specially in a world filled with men enjoy that enough.

Update

I learned the most important thing for me to do while I can is take the best care of me and my soul , my spirit, my energy, what I believe in. I need to take care of those things for they will be all that follows me when I pass.

Not impressed

I don’t think that calm should be promoting polygamy. Just my opinion. Also, no offense to anyone but I don’t really believe in the afterlife so the story didn’t really work for me.

I like the message

It was clearly not about polygamy if you actually listen to the whole story but more so about taking care of your soul and nurturing yourself before others

It starts and ends with you

You must love and take care of yourself first mind, body and soul. Material things cannot go with you in the end, only your spirit can.

Enlightening

I am going important. It’s not selfish to love and take care of myself. I need to make time for me.

Love this story.

In our journey of life we can often get whirled up in others and forget to recharge our soul

It’s always just us

It’s easy to forget, but in the end we only have ourselves throughout every moment of life. Our family & friends, possessions, status, they’re all very important. But we often neglect and fail to love and accept ourselves; how tragic is that, when in the end that is all we’ll have?

You and only you

At the end of every day the we are our only place left to live. If you don’t take care of your home within you it will fall apart and everything else won’t even matter.

Beautiful

I love how it shows you should appreciate what you take for granted. The fact that the whole story is just symbolism is beautiful to me. I love morals at the ends of stories.

Touching

It really spoke to me. I’m having a really hard time rn with self love and this piece spoke to me. It made me feel whole and I understood it. I want to try and take better care of my first wife

Love yourself and be honest to yourself. Whatever u do

Do it from your heart and Do it for your soul and for your heart and happiness. Dont ever o something just for money or materiell reasons.

???

While I love this story, all my life, I have struggled very hard to truly love myself. This tune (from JC Superstar) haunts me: “I don’t know how to love him What to do, how to move him I’ve been changed, really changed In these past few days, when I’ve seen Myself .... I seem like someone else.”

Neglected

This reflection helped me see that the longest, and most important, relationship that we have is the one that we have with ourselves. It is the relationship that we spend the least amount of time cultivating. We need to regularly feed our souls to flourish and thrive in all areas of our lives.

Mormons have options

To take care of my soul

Priorities. Make sure you’re taking care of the right ones

Love thyself and be good to you

I learned that you need to focus on priorities and things that actually matter.

Focus on what’s important

I need to fall in love with me

I feel its a good story its telling you how your weakness and your strangeness thank you🤗

To invest in your soul

Neglection

I feel better then before when I felt neglected from steven, I feel happy with him, I feel like i am completely with him and i shouldn’t let my anxiety take over me. I should feel better about myself and learn to control my own feelings before letting them all out without thinking first

Story time 1

That material wealth is not all that I should succumb too and that the first wife is what I should work on

Four wives

I need to take better care of my heart and soul. I’ve neglected it for far too long.

Day one

Once in a while, I could get angry and stressed and this effects my sleep, too. I didn’t bother to notice that it effected others. After hearing this story I feel like I should be more considerate to others. It said how the souls will always stick by us even though we neglect it and I know my loved ones will stick by me till the day I die xxx.

Mind

I learned that life isn’t about the materialistic items it’s about your soul. Who are you without your soul. Take care of yourself and yourself will take care of you

The 4 wives

I learned that I do not have good priorities and give too much weight to material things. I need to let it go and trust that all will be provided for at the right time. I know better I need to do better.

4 wives

I learned that my soul is my priority! I have decided to pay attention to its needs, to nurture, love and care for it. My soul makes up everything that I am in this world and beyond.

Take care

Everyone needs to feed their soul as much as they feed their bodies. Often we fall more in love with the temporary pleasures than the everlasting joys of self love, health, and happiness

Unworthy

I feel unworthy to love my own soul. Not that I need to rely on other to do that for me, because I know I have a great second wife in my family and few friends. I feel that I give, pour, myself into other people and relationships that I have nothing left for my own wellbeing. I need to not be lazy and take care of my first (and third) wife. Cherish what I have now and what stays with me. Soon there won't be anything left to pour out for others.

Useles human being

I don't feel safe or comfortable in my own skin and i think everyone would be better off with out me. Some days i wish that i was never born.

The soul

I learned that I should take care and pay more attention to my soul, I do not need the gifts and trinkets, enjoy every moment with my friends and family as that they are only with us to the grave and I should stop being self conscious about my body, it is only with us to the grave.

Story of the four wives

i learned that you need to take time to cherish what you have and to take care of your soul before anything else.

What i learned

I learned that i jeed to focus on my sould before anything else because my soul will always be with me

Four wives

I need to be kinder to myself, to stop chasing after love that will not be returned. To get quiet and feel the warmth from within. I am alone.

I’ve noticed I can’t be so hard of myself and expect more of me than what I actually have to offer.

I learned I should appreciate more of what I have and cherish it more and care for it.

I felt a big tugging sensation at my heart.

That only one of the wives truely matters and that our soul.

What a beautiful story love it want to hear more. So relaxing

To take better care of our soul we only have one. We only live once

I reminded myself that we are Spiritual beings in this Human body experience,

And while we are surrounded by the material world, which is also amazing in its way, we will not take anything or anyone with us once we are in the stage of transition. Stories like this remind about Real value, which is our Soul and how much we should take care about it, come to nature, stay open and forgiving, love ourselves. Thanks.

I noticed how appropriate this story was to what is happening now in 2020. I Love Me❤️

Now really is the time. ❤️ The world's gone mad. Disease is rampant. The world is on lockdown. Things are about to get shook up on a universal level. Time to understand ourselves heal and help. I AM ME.

Omg

I never felt better in my life AURA brings you happiness , release you from stres from the real world it takes you to haven I really love it

The things we forget...

It is so very easy in this material world, to lose sight of where the true priceless of value lies...

3.23.2o

I was stressed and extremely tense, this meditation was exactly what I needed! I am stressed about my current financial situation, know the Creator will take care of me in all areas of my life.

3.23.2o

I was stressed and extremely tense, this meditation was exactly what I needed! I am stressed about my current financial situation, and know the Creator will take care of me in all areas of my life! This meditation relaxed me and permitted me to regain my focus, so I could continue the remainder of the day with a relaxed perspective.

The first wife...

Is our soul! And the time to love her is now! I loved that!

Love yourself

To love yourself because you only can do it while you’re loving.

I felt insured

Sometimes it’s your self that you need to take care of you well being, mentally physically and emotionally. People are not always going to be there to look after u. You have to do that for yourself

Awesome

Never take anything for granted in life. I feel calmer than I have been for the whole week and weekend.

This feeling..

This made me just so relaxed and I just wanted to replay it about 10000000 times.

I love you

Am happy now Taught me lessons that no one will be there for you except your soul

Sadness + Surrender

Deep sadness led me to surrender all that I have ever felt and all that I have ever tried to deconstruct.

The feeling...

I cried. It’s true. I’ve been so weak that I couldn’t even take care of my own peace of mind and soul

Related to the story only first try though do it’s hard to tell quite yet

In the end you can only hope that you have a good soul, we care so much about what’s goi around us but leads us to forget about ourself

Relaxation...

I feel I have way too many distractions in my life. Some good, some bad. I will work on replacing the negative/bad ones with positive/great ones!

Which wife

I know it to be true that we can only take our soul with us when we die. It’s a hard lesson to learn.

My Soul

I Learned That Even When Your So Focused On Everything Else You Still Need To Take A Little Time Out Just For Yourself.. For Your Soul😭

Appreciate yourself

Never take for granted the things that god gives you, because when you die you take nothing.

Soul check

We often take ourselves for granted. But we need to take care of our spiritual self..it’s the only thing that leaves this world with us.

I do neglect myself and worry too much about things that are not important too often.

I need to pay closer attention to self-caring And place emphasis on my soul and my faith.

Reflection

I don’t spend very much time on myself. I distract myself and helps others to keep myself busy. I need to build my self relationships

Priorities

I should take more care of what is truly important to my life

Self Love

I learned that you have to love yourself before you can truly love someone else. Priorities.

Feed your soul

I heard the story of.the four wives but I never recieved the lesson. I have been starving my soul. The one who has been with me through all the strife. I dont know she takes so much. I love you soul your strong and patient. I want to change my negative habits. I trying to find a place to start.

The 4 wives

I learned that I need to heal the only part of me that goes with me in the after life, my soul. My soul is so dark and sad, I don’t want to take it with me. I need to do some deep healing.

My Soul

My soul needs to be nourished and well taken care of by me!!! No one else is going to do it. My soul is the only true thing that is mine and mine alone and will go with me wherever I go even in death!

4 wives

I need to work on my relationship with myself; take better care of my soul.

Four Wives

Powerful. Small daily actions to feed my Spirit, this is my goal.

4 wives

Remember to care for yourself above all others. Your heart is the only one you ever get to keep. Feed it

Love the first wife.

Love all the wives for hanging on in there but love the first why I love all of them never forget about the first time you fell in love also appreciate all of the love and respect and nurse everyone and everything like your first friend female if your male friend or male if you’re female you have ever head because those people will stick with you forever not just like in life or death but for all eternity love them all forever I know I do love all of mine and I consider everyone or everybody to be it. Just like one big happy family.

Eye opening

The story had a little twist to it, the first wife could also be referred to as our faith

The wives

I learned that no matter how much we try to neglect our soul. Our soul will be with us and follow us everywhere we go with no regrets and no second thoughts.

Wiser

No matter how much someone tries to get u down... they cant beat YOUR innerself

First Story Time

I honestly was not too sure how the story of the Four Wives would relate to me, but I 100% understand it now. I need to stop caring about things that won’t matter in the long run or follow me after death, I need to focus on my soul and quit neglecting it for material goods and status. Other people are of course important, but my soul and self is what maters most.

Wow

❤️ So true & meaningful a message that needed to be heard. Love your core!

Inspiring✨

I learnt that the things or persons you put first in life won’t always be there during the hard times but you will always have yourself so it can be a good thing to put yourself first too.

Focus inward

I learned that I need to stop focusing on external factors and must start looking inward and nourish my own soul and spirit.

I learned that all four things are very important in our lives

We can't never forget about our soul, it's the most important thing

Priorities

I learned what matters the mist is our spirituality with God. We all must die one day. Will you die in peace knowing your relationship with God has been cultivated. Or will you die alone without peace?

Do what is most Important

I learned that no matter what physical possessions or pleasures we may acquire in this life, it cannot bring us inner peace and happiness. Wealth and some physical aspects of life cannot nourish the soul. Connecting with ourselves and others around us spiritually, emotionally, mentally and again in some cases physically can make our soul happy. Getting to know ourselves, accepting ourselves, spending quality time with family and friends and continuously learning and nourishing our mind brings peace and happiness to the soul. Our memories, feelings, and knowledge are things our souls will always remember. There is nothing wrong with being rich and enjoying that type of lifestyle, but it should not be our main objective because they stay behind when we die. Remember the important things, the things that bring true peace and happiness to the soul.

It is not easy to take care of our soul, as we rarely know how to reach it

But one thing is for sure, is everything we are fighting for worth it? If we could live knowing consciously that one day it will all be gone, would we still do it? ... We waste so much energy on stuffs that won’t matter in 1,2 or 5 years....

I feel inspired :) thank you

The soul is just our inner reflection which we must treat w respect and love.

Woah

All I can say is this is so true and it gave me great realization!

Awww

I want to love my first wife more now then ever before. She truly is worth my time and energy, all these years of neglect end now.

Story of Four wives.

An awesome reflection of our lives. We must value and take more time working on what really matters most and what we will go on to glory with us; our soul, described in this story as the “first wife”.

Best story ever

I was moved to tears. Excellent analogy! I will save this story and listen often, sharing with friends and family.

That was pretty interesting.

Makes a most deep point!! Our souls are often neglected sometimes by our own needs and some sometimes putting so much effort into the needs of others!!! Always make sure you nurture your own soul!

Kindness

I need to be kinder to myself than I have been. I depend too much on others and I neglect what I feel a lot of the time. I haven’t been putting in the energy to appreciate myself more

Story of four wives

That you are everything and possessions are worthless as you can take them with you.

Differences

Although we are each different we share some of the same things that happen to us along the way. How we then live and love and act and re act is up to us. You. Me. And everybody else. Viva la difference!

My Soul

Amazing story, so very true about life. We focus and give so much of our time to things etc that we don’t have time or interest to care for our soul, the most important, the priority.

The mind and soul

I learned that we engulf ourselves into the materialistic things in life, we try to get our bodies to look the way we want and our friends, family and loved ones get a great deal of time during the course of our life but we don’t spend enough time on our souls. Our souls are the only thing that is going to follow us wherever we go and to make a something good of our life we should treasure it and love ourselves deep within, not just the aesthetics outside the body. I will love myself inside and out because our soul is the only thing following us when we die ❤️

I learned

Thinking about the four wives in my life means prioritizing me and how I connect to the world.

Story of the Four Wives

I love how this story provokes such deep thought. It’s simple yet drives an important point...we need to nourish our soul...it is the only thing we can take with us when we leave this world. So simple yet so profound.

It distracted my mind much more than yesterday

I’m tense, have muscle problems/spasms which need diagnostic from a doctor

Hospital visit

I learned that I should always trust myself, I should always listen to my body. I feel great, I am thankful for a wonderful loving and supportive family and I am grateful for Dr Bunting for believing in me and fixing me up.

Gym classes

I feel better about going to the gym trying to improve my health and fitness

Four Wives

The Four Wives.... Reality .....what life is really about .. being selfless and not selfish.. it’s not about material things and possessions, they don’t last... we need to be true to ourselves , it’s what matters....

This is beautiful.

We go through life seeking self love for our own bodies and how we look And whilst this is still important we forget to nurture our spirit. Talk talk to ourselves kindly, be of service without expectations, personal growth. This is what I needed to hear today.

The story of the four wives

This story explains self worth in a manor that I never thought possible. The four wives is very true! Excellent title for the story as well! It is just sad that, that is what it eventually comes down to in our lives is the fact we take our souls the ones we neglect the most to our grave. I suppose though the question remains how do we take care of those souls that we neglect so badly?

The story of the four wife’s

This story has taught me a lot about priorities in my life. I realize now but there was a time in my life when I put impressing others in pleasing my family and friends a head self care for my spirit mind and body I watched my happiness the manager of the time hindsight I really liked it because I put my soul last and forgot to be kind and happy I I believe it can sometimes be human nature especially in best paste fast paced modern society to devalue our potential to be kind and compassionate toward ourselves another in favor of status physical health and pleasing the people around us. Now I am trying to work toward a more balanced life where I’m not so busy and preoccupied with others then I become so critical and forget how to be kind to other people. Journey towards being less hard on myself and Martin with my priorities it’s taking a lot of time in there for you and Deb for Jan Defort and effort. However, I think it’s made me much happier. I am thankful to those who work at This App for putting the story together and reinforcing believe for myself and others to prioritize spiritual health . I am also grateful for the Community on this app for taking the time to read this post. I hope everyone is OK, happy, and well.

The Four Wives story

Something I once read... "Stop thinking of yourself as a body with a soul. Instead, think of yourself as a soul in this body." This story reminded me of that simple change of perspective

This is a very thought provoking story

The Story of the Four Wives.. it made me tearful and grieve for time wasted and importance placed on not so important things. I just lost my lover and best friend. I was with him to the last moment.. I could not keep him with me though I tried, nor could I go with him as much as I yearned to go. I weep with joy for his comfort and now pain free life and I weep for the hole in my soul that went with him, leaving only part of a person here on this earth. I question if I will ever be whole again.

Story of the four wives

This story made me tearful. We can be many wives to one husband. Supportive intellectually, the one he is proud to have on his arm, and the one who becomes one with his soul during the blending and interwinding of flesh in the act of love truly not knowing where one begins and the other ends. What a true gift to be one here on this earth to experience the sovereign mesh and joy of such a union here in this lifeof such I just lost my best friend and lover. I was with him till the very end, to his last breath.. I so desperately wanted to go with him, but could not, I was not allowed. He could only take his soul the soul that we shared. My part of that soul weeps for joy that he is now pain and worry free. I weep for the part of my soul that went with him. To think we can be one flesh bound by bonds of love so strong I fear I will never be whole again.

Four Wives

Wow, great story that allows you to understand what really is important in life and in death. Prioritize and make you think

Love Thy Self.. now

We often feel as though we have sooOo much time that were distracted from our priorities. The only time we have for sure is NOW! We must learn that putting ourselves first is not exclusively selfish nor forbidden but essential. For we can not pour from an empty cup. . and in the end all we have is our souls to take with us to the next life. No moment is promised to come next. Love yourself now. While now still exists.

Peace

I learned that I have to take care of myself, soul , mind and spirit for it is the only thing that will continuously follow me .

Peace

The things we think we love the most will not always be around so take time to care for what will.

Sleep

I slept really well after watching Ted Lasso - felt very good

Re-centered

I felt called out in the best way. I have been striving for things that I didn’t even realize have taken me away from caring for my soul. This story truly helped me re-center my perspective. Thank you

Just Peaceful and Content

That the person has realized that …I am have value and deserves respect I have right now in my life the enjoyment of peace and gratitude and contentment . I realize. That I am the only person that create my journey and not that it is not in my control to make other people happy on their chosen path . I am 60 now and have chosen a path that creates contentment , peace and gratitude in my life … so when I die … ans my life that passes in front of me It will be from my own choices and what is important to Me … whether right or wrong… but from my decisions coming from respect and gratefulness for choosing my path …. And honouring myself

A moment

Thank you for this moment to reflect on life and what is truly important.

First Wife

I learned that nurturing the Soul first instead of LAST is the way to fulfillment!!!!

My soul

I need to take care of her. Nothing else stays or is reliable or what keeps us truly happy. My heart is what I can always hold onto.

Sad story about four wives.

I already experienced that we always need to take care about ourselves and trust ourselves. We are our own best friend.

4 wives

I found that very thought provoking. I had so many different emotions during such a short time. I really liked that.
