Nine Years Going By My Soul Name "Jelelle Awen"

Celebrating another anniversary today...it was nine years ago that I officially changed my name on FB to "Jelelle Awen" and began going by it in my service and sharing offerings as well here. "Jelelle" was a waveform offered to me as a representation of my arising divine feminine essence when I felt it was time to shift out of my birth name.

As a soul name, I initially felt a resistance to going by it, concerned that people wouldn't be able to pronounce it. I remember trying to negotiate something else but eventually surrendering to it and my soul's guidance. I did like that it was unique and that there were also some roots of French in there with "Je" as "I" and "elle" as "she".

I've found that people seem to enjoy saying it even if they struggle with it at first...and enjoy saying my full name together as well as it has a lyrical energy to it. Raphael (who also received his soul name around the same time as mine) and I also both loved how our names sounded together. Raphael and Jelelle has become a Divine Union Usness code of its own!

"Awen" offers a special meaning to us too as a chosen married surname for us to share together. It is a Welsh, Cornish, and Breton word meaning "inspiration" or "muse." In Welsh mythology and Druidic traditions, Awen represents the divine inspiration of poets, musicians, and seers. It signifies a flow of spiritual enlightenment and creative energy.

The Awen symbol (three rays of light) is also a representation of balance and harmony between different elements: mind, body, and spirit. It is often used to signify the inspiration that comes from the divine or the universe.

So, Jelelle Awen seems to offer "I am she of Divine inspiration" and it feels like an honor to live into and represent this every moment.

One of the biggest gifts of downloading and then going by your soul name is that it creates a differentiation ground of relationship to open up with your 3D self represented by your birth name. I formed a deeper relationship with Jillian (my birth name) and also my inner teenager Jill through allowing Jelelle to be who I was known as, especially in service. Jillian and Jill could lean into the energy of Jelelle as a divine self embodying more energies of Divine Mother compassion, trust, and wisdom. This allowed them to let go of deeper fears, tensions, immaturities and strategies along the way.

I've also in the last year connected deeply with Nicole, the part represented by my middle name waveform. Nicole represents more my 4D self/karmic/service self or 'healer' identity and she has been transmuting/resting/surrendering to allow more of our divine essence as Jelelle respond, be and not overhold/sacrifice etc. I have even worked with "Jelelle Awen" in terms of any ego construction that started setting in around that and people's association with it, allowing a reset into purity and authenticity and more alignment with Divine Mother.

Rather than a rejection or bypassing of my 'human self', I feel a deep honoring of all parts of me in going by a soul name, which allowed for more self love to flow and deeper embodiment as well. These parts can then lean into 'Jelelle' for support, guidance, a sense that a 'bigger energy' is holding the space.

I do invite women that I work with ongoingly as a mentor if it resonates with them to tune into a soul name offering at some point in their Divine Self Embodiment process, even if they don't go by it as their public name with everyone. It allows for a separation space for their 3D self and others parts to lean into..opening up a powerful bridge of receiving more Divine love as well. The soul name usually comes very organically through dreams, guidance, vision and sometimes even 'outside sources' such as teachers/healers/guides.

What is your journey with your birth name and soul name if one has chosen/come to you? How has it served you to go by a soul name, what shifted in your sense of purpose and self in that?

Love,

Jelelle Awen

This is a pic from 2016 at our off-grid ranch in Mexico where the name Jelelle Awen came through emerging out of a deep surrogacy and awakenings in nature with Divine Mother and my soul. I share about this catalytic time for me in my memoir book Keep Waking Up! with more info about it on our website.
