According to Lakota tradition, there are four parts of the soul: Cekṗa (twin) is the connection with nature, Naġi̓ (the Guardian) is the aura or shadow, Toʹwakaŋ (the Advanced Guardian) resides at the top of the head, and the Niya̓ (the Breath of Life) resides at the solar plexus. These soul connections are responsible for our intuition and can be used to gain spiritual understanding.
