Passing Through the Veils over the Soul
Should you feel called to make a different contribution, please Contact Us.
This module presents the initial series of steps that will carry you into directly experiencing the true, Luminous Self that you are. For most of us, this involves passing through the veils of the ego-mind and ego resistance. Since the busy mind is the chief impediment to hearing the still, small voice of the soul, the first of these processes supports the thinking mind to come into a state of quiescence. The key is bringing awareness out from under the control of the ego-mind.
As this unfolds, feelings, emotions and sensations that also mask the soul realms will arise. The final inner experience in this module, Clearing Sensations and Emotions, addresses this aspect of the process.
Part 1) Opening to the Divine: A Guided Inner Experience by Karen Anderson
A first step in awakening is to realize we cannot awaken ourselves — we need the help of Something Larger. This guided inner process offers the opportunity to turn your awakening — and even your entire life, if you’re ready — over to the Divine, so that It can live through you.
As much as we want to directly experience the essence of who we really are, the journey inward is rarely a straight line to the ultimate goal. Most of us encounter many manifestations of the Not-self on our way into the inner sanctum of the soul. The following guided experiences present a way of being with whatever arises that helps it to release, thus propelling you more deeply into the soul realms.
Part 2) The Awareness Meditation: A Guided Inner Experience by Barry Martin Snyder
This meditative process focuses on freeing awareness from the control of the ego-mind. It involves becoming aware of where awareness is focused and choosing to shift the focus of awareness out of the mind and into the awareness of feeling and the breath. This shift from focusing on the thoughts in the head to feeling the feelings and sensations in the body is a necessary first step in passing through the veils into directly experiencing the soul.
Part 3) The Clear Mind Meditation Process: A Guided Inner Experience by Barry Martin Snyder
This process focuses on witnessing and then feeling the breath, which results in a combined experience of witnessing~feeling. Cultivating breath-awareness enhances the ability to observe the contents of the mind as they arise, a first step in dis-identifying with them. As thoughts are allowed to simply pass by, gaps between the thoughts soon occur. Through these openings, we glimpse and deepen in the true Self.
Part 4) Practices that Support a Clear Mind by Karen Anderson
Most of us feel challenged by our ever-busy, overactive minds. This recording offers a wealth of easily-implemented ways to enhance mental clarity and peace. It begins with a brief description of the Ayurvedic dosha system, focusing on the condition of excess vata (mental energy) that is so common in the busy, modern world. Then, many simple, practical ways to reduce excess mental energy are described. As you begin to work with these suggestions, you will become more aware of and sensitive to your own energetic nature, so you can more quickly respond to imbalances and restore inner harmony and stillness.
This mp3 comes with a pdf script of the recording, so you can refer to the many ideas for supporting a clear mind without having to listen to the recording each time you want to review them.
Part 5) Clearing Sensations and Emotions: A Guided Inner Experience by Karen Anderson
As the mind quiets, we become aware of body sensations and emotions wanting our attention. This guided inner process focuses on the layers of "stuff" we inevitably encounter on the way into the soul’s domain. Through welcoming and being present with whatever arises, we let go of judgment and resistance and make room for all aspects of our experience. Once these veils have received the loving acceptance they have always wanted, they release and our journey into the soul realms deepens.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Our book Taking Off Overcoats presents a deep and thorough journey through the veils to the soul. The easy-to-read text takes readers on a step-by-step, sequential voyage through the ego veils, and the book also includes a link to more than 20 downloadable recorded processes that powerfully facilitate gaining the skills and capacities that enable ever-deepening soul communion. We recommend Taking Off Overcoats for anyone who would welcome more evolutionary support in this part of the journey.
