The Soul is in the Subtle

Imagine you were like Helen Keller

Unable to see anything;

Unable to hear anything.

What would be left?

Your ability to feel, to heal and to sense what is real.

I love the quote by Helen Keller, “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart.”

I agree and know that:

The feelings of the heart open the door to our soul and the Soul is in the subtle.

If you want to know your soul you have to become familiar with the subtle. The subtle is not obvious and we may spend our whole lifetime unaware and unattuned to our subtle energies. You can’t experience what you don’t know exists so you need to first know that you have a subtle body and practice sensing it.

To sense the subtle you have to be still and listen within. When you can quiet the mind and emotions then you can start to sense and communicate with the subtle energy of the body. Become curious and observe the following:

Breath – close your eyes and feel yourself breathe; listen to the sound and observe the rhythm of the breath. Bringing your attention to the breath gets you out of your head and helps you connect to the inner body.

Physical Sensations – notice and pay attention to physical sensations in the body as they arise. The body never lies and tuning your awareness to the subtle sensations in the body can reveal to you places you may need to pay attention and nurture with your awareness. Do a body scan and notice any slight discomfort and just feel what you feel. Notice where you may be out of balance and let your body’s intuition speak to you and take any necessary action to bring you back into a state of harmony.

Emotions – the subtle body is also known as the emotional body; feel what arises and be with those emotions without judgment from the mind. What are the deeper, more subtle feelings underneath the surface emotions? Spend time here and just be curious.

Energy – sense your overall energy within and around you. If you ever felt the feeling of being physically and emotionally transformed after going to a yoga class, it was because of the energy that was activated in the subtle body. The combination of awakening deeper feelings, physical sensations and higher quality breathing (prana) effects your overall energy for increased well-being, harmony and homeostasis.

Once you are aware of the subtle energies, you can work with them to enhance your well-being and the well-being others. The world of subtle energy opens our minds to the truths we know in our heart and soul. Train yourself to feel the subtle energies daily and work with and learn to control your thoughts and emotions so that you are no longer reacting from a place of fear but coming from a more aware and awake place where you can respond consciously.

I’m much more interested in developing the subtle rather than losing myself in the obvious. It takes a conscious choice and a desire for more depth in your life. It takes reverence and appreciation for the subtle. Subtle awareness leads to Soul Awareness and subtle energy ignites Soul energy.

Breathe, Be Still, Feel, Heal and Sense what is Real. The Soul is in the subtle.
