Getting Thru To Your Soul
MONTHLY E-MAIL
NEWSLETTER, MAY 1999
_______________________________________________
Our birth is
but a sleep and a forgetting:
The
soul that rises with us,
Our life’s star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting
And
cometh from afar.

Wordsworth

REMEMBERING THE SOUL
Getting Thru To
Your Soul is about reconnecting with the truth of who you are and experiencing
every moment of your life in a more profound way. Our greatest beauty as human
beings lies beyond the perception of our five normal senses, in the higher
dimensions of reality. Each of us is an individual expression of our soul, a
spark of the divine.
On the soul’s
level, we exist in a state that is beyond limitation, where freedom, love and
joy prevail. We have come into the third dimension to help our souls to expand
and grow. Each of us came into our lives with a divine purpose, including
lessons we are here to learn, and a unique expression we are here to share. As
we move forth into a new century and a new age for humanity, we are ready to
reconnect with the magnificence of our divinity and to bring this unlimited way
of being into reality here on earth.
The first part of
the spiritual journey is forgetting. We started in a state of wholeness and in
unity with the divine. Through our experiences in the third dimension, we have
gradually forgotten our true identities and lost this sense of wholeness. The
further we have entrenched ourselves here, the more we have lost conscious
awareness, so most of humanity is largely unconscious. In this state, we have
become expressions of a fragmented personality, and the joy, love and freedom
the soul is capable of experiencing have been replaced with fear, limitation and
judgment.
Now we are on the
second part of the journey, the remembering. The process of remembering is
twofold. First, we need to reconnect with the soul as our true identity and
bring the experience of wholeness back into our lives. The second is to use the
strength of this connection to help us to bring awareness to the limitations
that have fragmented the personality and prevent us from experiencing joy, love
and freedom in all aspects of our lives. Through time, this will lead us back to
the state of full consciousness and unity, which is our true divine nature.
In this first issue
of the Getting Thru To Your Soul Newsletter, we are going to focus on
reconnecting with the truth of who we are by connecting with the soul. We
understand that those who have been drawn to this material have already begun
the journey of remembering and are allowing their souls to guide them forward
towards wholeness. You are also helping to lead all of humanity towards this
goal and we honor each and every one of you for this.
To connect with the
soul, we first need to understand how we exist multi-dimensionally. We exist on
many levels and our physical reality, which is the densest level, is a
reflection of the energy that is filtering down from the higher levels. All of
the events of our lives and our physical bodies are reflections of who we are
and the lessons we are learning. Where we experience pain, fear or other painful
emotions, they are showing us where we are not yet able to bring the truth of
the soul into our lives.
Even though we are
in the density of the third dimension, each of us has a connection with the
higher dimensions and the divine nature of the soul. The light we sense above us
is the light of the higher self or oversoul. Within the body, our connection
with the soul is anchored in the heart. It is by connecting with your heart and
opening to the experience of unconditional love in your heart that you access
the divinity within yourself.
It is also
important to note that we are not alone on the spiritual journey. Each of us has
guides, angels and masters who are reaching down to us from the higher
dimensions and helping us to connect with the truth of who we are. You may
already have a relationship with these beings of light. If not, you can develop
a relationship with them as you connect more consciously with your soul and your
soul’s divine wisdom. As with the soul, the way to connect with them is
through unconditional love, as love is the common language through which they
communicate.
SOUL CENTERING
PROCESS
We offer this
process as a starting point for our journey together. For those who are not
familiar with guided meditation processes, the key is to relax, disconnect from
the active, rational mind and connect with receptive side of your nature. The
easiest way to do this is to shift your focus away from the thoughts that
normally occupy your attention and focus on the sensations you feel in your body
and the emotions you are experiencing. As you do this, allow the experience to
unfold without expectation and involve all of your inner senses to deepen the
experience. Each of us has a unique way of accessing information from the higher
dimensions. Some feel more, some visualize more, some hear messages or see
words. Just open yourself to the experience, however it may unfold.
The process we are
going to do here is designed to be easy enough for anyone to do and short enough
that you can do it every day to strengthen your connection with your soul. The
ultimate goal in the process of remembering is to be in this state of
connectedness all of the time and, once you are familiar with this process, you
should be able to make the connection easily. This will allow you to receive the
guidance of your soul and the guides who are working with you wherever you are,
throughout your day.
Although the
process is simple, it will not work if you are in a hurry, because, as we
mentioned before, you connect with your soul through the receptive side of your
nature. Please allow ample time when you begin to use it. As you become familiar
with the process, you will find that the connection will come easily.
This process is
designed for you to read each word slowly and close your eyes at intervals to
focus on the experience. When you read it, you may want to play peaceful music
to help you to relax more deeply. You may also record it onto a tape with
background music or purchase a cassette version that is described at the end of
this newsletter. Over time, you will be able to do it easily without any outside
assistance.
Before you
start, you may want to focus for a moment on an issue that you would like to
address as you connect with the energy of your soul and your higher self. Now we
can begin.
As you start
to read this process and prepare to relax, take a few deep breaths and feel
the tension beginning to melt from your body. Fill your lungs completely with
pure, clear air with each inhale and allow the tension to continue to release
with each exhale, so that with each breath, you feel more and more relaxed and
your body becomes lighter, allowing the tension to drift down through your
arms, legs and feet and into the earth. Imagine that you have a grounding cord
from the base of your spine and widen it out so whatever you are releasing can
melt down into the earth.
Now bring
clear energy into your mind with each inhale, so all of the cells of your
brain can relax and your mind becomes more and more clear with each breath.
And allow the clear energy to move down so that your entire head is relaxed,
traveling down your neck and shoulders now, and allowing all of the organs in
your body to relax. Now allow a wave of clear energy and relaxation to move
gently down your arms, all the way down to the tips of your fingers. And feel
another wave of relaxation moving down your spine to your legs and feet,
travelling all the way to the tips of your toes, so your entire body is
relaxed and filled with clear, pure energy. You may want to stop reading for a
moment and focus on relaxing your entire body, from the top of your head to
the tips of your toes.
As you
continue, begin to focus your breath on the area around your heart, where your
soul connects with your body. Imagine that you are sending pure energy into
this area, so that with each breath, there is more and more energy there and,
as you continue breathing, you can feel the energy intensifying so it may seem
like there is a ball of light around your heart. Allow this ball of light to
become brighter and brighter, radiating its energy out in all directions, so
that you feel yourself completely surrounded by the energy and you can feel
this energy permeate every cell of your body with its beautiful light. As you
do this, if any pain comes up in your heart, simply allow the pain to come out
into your awareness and ask the breath to release it. Letting go of this pain
will help you to completely embrace the love you hold in your heart. You may
want to stop reading again for a moment and focus on experiencing the energy
of your soul in your heart and radiating out around you.
Now you can
shift your focus to the area just above your head and imagine that there is
another light there. As you imagine it there, allow this light to begin to
pour down through the top of your head and fill your entire body, so that you
can see and feel yourself filled with this light all the way down to the tips
of your fingers and the tips of your toes. As it becomes brighter and
brighter, it overflows so that you are completely surrounded with this light
and you can feel yourself in perfect harmony and balance with everything that
is around you. You can also feel the energy of all of the others who are
building this connection and allow it to help you to strengthen the experience
for you. Take a moment now to feel this harmony and how you are connected with
all that is.
From this
place of peace, you can ask for guidance about any problem you may be
experiencing. This is especially useful if you focused on a problem before
starting the process and can recall how it felt to you then. You should find
that your perspective is different than it was before. From this place of
clarity, you can bring in new levels of awareness to help you in any aspect of
your life. If you are focusing on a problem, you may want to stop reading for
a moment and view it from this higher perspective.
As a note, if
you were not able to fully experience the energy of your soul, just continue
to work with this process and focus on releasing any painful emotions that
come up. You will notice a shift as you release the emotions and open to the
loving energy of your soul.
Now it is time
to shift your awareness back to the present time and feel yourself where you
are, sitting or lying down, making note of your body’s position. And, as you
breathe, allow your breath to bring you back to your normal waking state,
feeling alert and alive. As you prepare to go off to other activities, make
sure that you are grounded with the cord that extends from the base of your
spine to the center of the earth.
FOLLOWING UP ON
THIS PROCESS
In future issues of
this newsletter, we will strengthen this connection and share techniques that
can help you to release blockages that stand between you and your goals. As we
work individually and collectively towards the goal of achieving wholeness in
all parts of our lives, we will help to lift humanity as well.
The focus of one
individual is magnified many fold when two or more come together. Even though
those who receive this newsletter are not together in a single place and time,
we can use the strength that we create together to help each of us in our growth
by intending it to be so. We already have people in many parts of the world who
are subscribing to this newsletter and know that more will join us each month.

QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
I teach
Reiki healing classes. Many of my students worry about taking on negative
energies. What do you recommend? -
Marion; Sacramento, California
By doing the
soul centering process, you can become your own best protection. We always do
this before beginning any healing work. When you become proficient and are able
to create a strong soul connection at will, your healing work benefits in many
ways:
-
The soul’s
light radiates the vibration of unconditional love, which provides the
framework for deep healing to occur. As you become a stronger channel for
divine energy, your field becomes so strong that others can sense the light
just by being in your presence. This will allow them to make the changes
they seek more easily.
Along with the
centering process, you can also call for assistance from the beings of light -
the masters, angels and guides who are helping you - if this feels right to you.
You can ask for the healing to be in alignment with the individual’s soul
purpose and for it to occur in a perfect and gentle manner. An invocation of
this kind adds the element of conscious intent, which further sets the stage for
the healing process.
