Meditate. When you meditate, you connect to your subconscious. This is a great way to determine the origin and essence of your soul, and there are several different methods you can try.^{[17]

- Relax entirely and ask the universe to show you your home.
- Attune to the frequencies of different star collectives and see which one shows up most prominently.
- Allow an expert to guide you through soul retrieval to access your memories from your previous lives.
- Activate your soul star chakra to retrieve information about your origin.
Go outside on a clear night and ask the stars directly. They may guide you to a particular star which might be your origin. This method may not work right away, as you have to be open to receiving messages. If you feel frightened or intimidated, take a step back, and the stars will guide you when you’re ready.^{[18]
