~~~Soul-Transformation Work~~~
After having identified an area of pain or confusion in your life, or if you simply want to establish a dialog with the soul, follow these steps:
Step1 - Ask your God Presence for protection and guidance
You want to assure that the experience will be one that is of the Light. I choose to always invite Mother Mary to enter with me and to help me to heal my soul. I believe that the gateway to the Center of Being in the heart is through the divine Mother.
My call is threefold: I ask to see all that needs to be seen for healing, that all that I am not ready to see be sealed, and I ask that the Light remove as much as possible without needing to go through the pain.
Step 2 - Connect to the heart and enter the heart
This can be done by focusing your attention on the physical heart (you might want to position your hand there to aid the connection). You can imagine a white sphere that is shining and iridescent. Focus on the sphere and then see a circle drawn on that sphere. Imagine (see) your soul rising from the soul chakra and entering this sphere. Feel yourself going through the circle and believe that you are entering. (This is only a suggestion—other things may work for you). Understand that upon entering the heart you are actually entering a different dimension. It is no longer an "exercise", but an experience. All that is to transpire is actually HAPPENING at a certain plane of being. This is why you can actually experience TRANSFORMATION!
Step3 - See yourself at a beautiful, soothing place
This could be perhaps at a lake, on the ocean, on a mountain, at an altar.... I will usually first see the Blessed Mother seated to the right and one of the Father figures (Gautama Buddha or Saint Germain, etc.) seated to the left. I experience the Father feeling deep love for the Mother and sending that love to her. I then feel the Mother's love for the Father and returning the love to him. The energies then begin to flow in a figure eight pattern—from the Father to the Mother and from the Mother back to the Father. This goes on until I begin to vibrate with that energy of Love.
Step 4 - See your soul (little child) physically
Now I focus on my soul (the little child) that is standing facing these beings. Tune in to the color that you are wearing. Simply allow the information to flow and honor whatever color comes to you. Next, tune in to the age of your little child and allow a figure to flow. Once again honor whatever information comes to you.
Visualize a certain form—it might be one of you as a young child, a stage in your life where you can connect with your holy innocence. Fill in all of the details. See the hair, the look on your face, the clothing that you are wearing, how you are positioned (sitting, standing, etc.). Determine the age of your soul-simply let a number enter.
Then the Mother will guide you by the hand to the beautiful place mentioned above. Use the power of visualization. Simply see whatever you would like to see. If you don't have much experience in this, just be patient. This is certainly an area where practice makes perfect! (I could not even see a "color" when I began to try to visualize—it'll come.)
Step 5 - Invite your Higher Self (Loving Adult) to join you
Feel His/Her presence with you—see Him/Her. You may decide, if you are a woman, that your Higher Self is feminine. See a beautiful image of yourself. This is you, without the weight of karma and imbalance. You are absolute love and wisdom, imbued with the cycles of God for your life. There is absolute compassion and understanding with a desire to bring your soul up higher. Your Higher Self knows exactly what your soul needs to hear (and not hear!) in order to take the next step forward in her joyous journey Home through LOVING ACTION.
Step 6 - Invite a spiritual being to join you also
This could be an angel, archangel, Ascended Master or someone's Higher Self. See that one and feel His/Her Presence with you. Specify the particular Master/Saint that you want with you. Invoke His/Her Presence with you. The Master WILL come. See Him/Her standing or sitting near your soul. Again, go through the details of visualization: see the hair, the face, the clothing... The key to receiving the energy of any divine being is to believe in the process of a divine being having the power to contact you within. Without this receptivity, the flow of energy from the divine being that you are inviting will be there but may be blocked.
Step 7 - Hear why your soul is pained
The pain may come from childhood experiences or even from records of previous lives—be open! Merge your outer consciousness with that of your Higher Self. Experience yourself speaking from this Higher Self and address your soul. (Don't be overly concerned about what part of you is speaking. Simply address your child or soul and let yourself respond. After all, it's the same person). Ask your soul: "What exactly do you feel when you think of ... this situation?" (You've already connected in your outer mind to an area of pain or confusion within your soul). Wait patiently for your soul to respond. The soul may not respond immediately because she is scared or too hurt to speak. Be patient! Release positive energy and try to be very receptive, as a loving parent would be with a child when waiting to hear what is burdening the child. (If you have successfully merged with your Higher Self, your outer self just needs to remain passive and let the Higher Self BE). Eventually, the soul will respond..."I feel..." The response is usually very emotional and may appear irrational to you. You may even feel irritated by such a response. Your soul may express anger or other energy.
Step 8 - Re-parent the soul
You must enter into the fount of the Mother Flame that is LIGHT and only LIGHT ("the Light of non-condemnation is great!"). YOU MUST LISTEN AND GIVE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE ONLY! If you do not, your soul may not speak to you for quite a while. It is necessary for you to listen in order to know what your soul is feeling and experiencing so that you can transform it. (Remember, the soul is the inner child, and does not function out of the mental body but rather out of the intuitive/absorbent side of self). Sometimes transformation can take place in many areas that the soul, fortunately, does not need to enter into. But not always!
Step 9- Counsel your soul
Trust your Higher Self to offer just the counsel that your soul needs. Again, don't be concerned about who is speaking. Trust yourself! Once the soul has responded, your role is to comfort, perhaps to explain why someone may have been hurtful, due to ignorance, selfishness, etc. Express understanding for your soul's plight and shine the Light of TRUTH. The soul now needs wisdom to understand why the wrong-doer acted out or perhaps to understand that there was no ill intent (only if that is really the case!).
Step 10 - Enter FORGIVENESS
This is the final step that is necessary for the transformation of the hurt, pain and negative memory. The soul now can be encouraged to forgive the wrong-doer. This is a necessary process for transformation. The soul cannot be coerced into forgiveness, but only invited into it. She must take her time about it and perhaps may need to ask further questions, or express further feelings before she can forgive. (Eventually, the forgiveness will come—if not during this session, during another). Once the soul has forgiven, she experiences tremendous release!
Step 11 - Receive wisdom from the Mother or the Master
Now the soul may ask the Mother or the Master if there is any counsel that He/She would offer the soul. Very often, this is forthcoming. LISTEN!
Step 12 - Return
We now walk back to the original entry place (usually an altar setting) and thank our Higher Self, the Blessed Mother who is always there whether we know it or not, and the Master(s). Allow your soul's natural expression of gratitude to flow. Often the soul will want to sit on the Mother and receive tender Love and healing from her. Enjoy this precious expression of God. When the soul is ready gently exit the heart.
I offer this as a tried and true method for growth and healing—I'm certain that there are others. I personally (and others that I've shared this with) have experienced healing at very deep levels and in many areas of our souls.
Remember that soul-transformation is a process of the healing of inner pain within the soul and psyche. It is like peeling the many layers from an onion (the onion symbolizing the substance of hurt or pain). There are certain hurts that can be healed in one session while there are others that require various sessions for the peeling of layer upon layer of substance, until the core can be consumed.
In addition to healing the soul we can also simply go to the Heart for guidance, peace, illumination and communion with our own Higher Self and inner spiritual realms.
WE CAN BE CO-CREATORS WITH OUR GOD SELF! Truly, pain becomes bliss in the "Joy of Self-Mastery!"
