Belly Soul Center
Why is the Belly Soul Center So Important in the Awakening Process?
In the modern world, most of us experience life -- and even approach awakening -- through our heads.
To one degree or other, the mind has us in its grip, and our devices only increase this tendency.
Thinking, judging, deciding, analyzing -- the mind can keep us endlessly busy with its agendas.
We can get out of touch with what we are experiencing in our deeper selves -- our bodies and emotions.
This Module is intended to deepen your awareness of the Belly Soul Center,
so you can access your Belly Knowing and live a more Belly-centered life of joy and satisfaction.
We're not exaggerating when we say that deepening in the Belly Center has the power to change your life.
If you sense there is more to learn about your Belly Center -- or your Inner Child, your Feminine side, and how to best care for your physical body and emotional well-being -- this Module is for you.

The Care and Feeding of the Belly Soul Center
This introductory audio contains lots of ideas and inspirations on how to get to know this all-important aspect of the Self, and how to nourish and support it so it can become a central part of your life experience.
Belly Wisdom: What it is and How to Access it
The world is full of “experts” on how to stay healthy, conduct satisfying relationships, and manage all other aspects of life. But often their advice contradicts what other “experts” say. How are we to find our way amidst this plethora of conflicting input?
Within each one of us lies a trustworthy source of wisdom about all facets of embodied life, from diet and health to relationship issues and how to keep our inner child happy. As we get to know the Belly Soul Center, we tap into our Belly Wisdom, and the more we live from it, the more belly knowing comes forth to guide our way. This is literally life-changing!
Breathe, Feel, and Turn it Over to God
This simple practice makes it possible to be with even the most challenging emotions and the deepest places of pain in the psyche. Working with it over time has the potential to greatly expedite awakening, for it supports you in developing the inner capacity to be with what is, moment to moment. When what lies within us receives our attention and acceptance, it no longer needs to be present and can move through.
Experiencing the Belly Soul Center
This is a comprehensive inner process to deepen and expand your direct experience of the Belly Soul Center. Working with this inner experience over time catalyzes greater awareness of the Belly as a central aspect of your being.
This can be especially important for those whose awakening journey has emphasized the Head Soul Center and the goal of Enlightenment. When we focus primarily on Head Center awakening, we can become ungrounded and detached from life in the third dimension, leading to issues around home, finances, relationships, physical health, and unresolved emotions. Activating the Belly Center is key to addressing these embodied aspects of our awakening process.
Connecting with Your Inner Child
Within each of us lives a younger version of ourselves — in fact, all younger versions of us live within our Belly Soul Center, where we can reconnect with them. Our Inner Child had certain experiences at particular ages that had a huge effect on the way our life unfolded from then on. Inviting the Soul that we are to take us back to those pivotal moments in our journey is a powerful way to unlock what got shut down at those times.
Cultivating a relationship with our Inner Child can become a cherished aspect of our awakening process, as we learn what they enjoy, how they’d like us to live, and most of all, how our heart and theirs can merge in the love we never knew was possible to share with them.
Going Deeper into the Belly — Physical Level
What truly nourishes me? What makes my Belly Soul Center feel happy and satisfied? This audio contains lots of journaling prompts and things to consider in your quiet times with yourself. Contemplating what would feel more wonderful and implementing the changes indicated by our Belly Wisdom makes our experience of daily life ever more delicious. The audio concludes with an evocation of what life feels like when it’s lived according to the Way of the Belly.
Going Deeper into the Belly — Emotional Level
How can I nurture myself in the emotional realm? What would life feel like if I were really there for myself — not just when things are going well, but even when old patterns and self-judgments arise? Imagine being with yourself as tenderly and caringly as you always yearned for others to be with you.
How can I reconnect with my Inner Child and be with the residues from the traumas that little one endured? And what would my Inner Feminine like me to know about Herself? All of this and more unfold as we bring awareness to the sacred Belly Center.
Going Deeper into the Belly — Spiritual Level
How might your spiritual life change if it included more Belly Center awareness? What would that even feel like? Imagine getting to know Divine Mother as a never-ending source of nurturance and comfort. Contemplate what it would be like to infuse your spiritual practices with more of the energy of the Divine Feminine. How might your Belly Wisdom transform your experience of yourself as a spiritual being?
The Spiritual Ego and the Belly Soul Center
If you haven’t been able to even get near what’s going on in the Belly Soul Center — or if you sense an inner voice cautioning you away from exploring all that lies within the Belly — the spiritual ego is likely the culprit. Its impossibly high standards of spiritual accomplishment insist that we should be achieving its goals and performing well — make that perfectly. This is exactly the opposite approach of the mothering, nurturing Belly Soul Center!
