Stepping into Soul
Stepping into Soul
In the aftermath of the Indian Ocean tsunami, Hurricanes Katrina
and Rita, and the recent earthquake in Pakistan, I have noticed
the presence of much higher spiritual energies in my life and in
the Earth. The quantum field hums with these high-frequency
pitches, which sound like crickets, at first, and during
meditation expand into the roaring sound of a waterfall.
It is a beautiful sound to me. Sufi and Hindu mystics, as well
as Buddhist monks, retreat to woods and caves to hear this
"music of life," as they call it. The Jewish Essenes and early
Christian Gnostics described it as the "involution" of the Holy
Spirit. I know it as the love that carries me into joy and
oneness with All That Is. It opens my heart and mind, expands me
into the Greater Love and sets me back down in a world filled
with greater light for my journey.
I thought the explanation for these higher energies was simply
the benevolent nature of life: that higher energies were
appearing during the past year's catastrophic earth changes to
alleviate pain and suffering.
While this is undoubtedly true, my still, small voice says
there's an added dimension: We can access these higher energies
at any time. Literally stepping into the soul-self relieves
physical pain and fatigue; and in the same breath inspires the
body-mind with vibrant energy, creative ideas and higher
direction.
If you are experiencing the quandary of many compassionate
people--outputting so much energy that it's beginning to drain
you--here's how to tap into a bottomless well and an endless
river of healing.
This exercise will fill any empty cup with energy, wisdom and
light. Use this terrific technique as needed!
1. When your heart stalls and your body stalls, too, find a
quiet place and go within, gently falling or floating deeper and
deeper into the peace of your heart. Call to your soul self and
say, "I submerge myself in you."
2. Now take the thought of surrender into your heart and hold it
close, seeing your egoic self merge into the light of your
greater self. Say firmly, "It is done."
3. See your higher self accomplishing your work in creative joy
and light, and allow it to guide you forward.
Restoring yourself does not take much time. What you will feel
and see, create and make come true is true and takes place in
material reality. Neither the brain nor the soul sees any
difference between the inner and the outer. Only the ego
differentiates.
During or following this meditation, you might want to ask your
ego some interesting questions. What does your higher self look
like? And the lower self? What part does love play? And light?
What is the feeling and how can it be remembered for re-creation
at any time? Blazing these communication paths (a neuro-net)
between your ego and soul helps your conscious and subconscious
mind connect and cooperate.
There's another interesting benefit. Stepping into the soul
naturally increases our psychic awareness, since we begin to
perceive through the eyes of the soul and what we see is all
there is. Of course, the only way to know this for sure is to
try it out. Experience is always our finest teacher.
Perhaps you will be as surprised as I was by how quickly
stepping into your soul can transform your heart. I tried this
technique after learning it from a meditative writing and it's
worked consistently for me and for others.
Where I'd been driven by body pain and stress before, in the
next moment these virtually vanished and my heart was clear and
free. I was able to be more generous and loving to myself and my
family.
I slept and dreamt well that night, and upon waking realized
that stepping into the soul simply opens the heart and mind to
love, and love does the healing. The love is always present.
When we face a challenging event, our compassion and need open
the heart and turn us to love.
Each of us has the innate ability to reach into the deeper self
for wisdom, comfort and healing guidance of any kind. Every
person and event in our lives awakens us to this deeper self and
higher reality.
It is yours for the taking. Just close your eyes and step into
your everloving soul.
