Session Overview: The Body’s History and its Pure Substance
CLICK HERE IF YOU WANT TO SEE A VISUAL SUMMARY
High-level Glance: This session explores the dual nature of the body—its historical content (stored emotions, thoughts, and ancestral/evolutionary memories) and its pure substance (divine matter untouched by history). The goal is to move beyond mere purification of the past and touch the sacred substance of the body. Towards this acceptance, offering, and descent into the consciousness “below” supports.

Experiential Foundations of the Practice
The Concept of Non-Sequential Mastery Mastery in this work does not come from a rigid, sequential format. You are encouraged to experiment and play with the methods daily to find your own unique rhythm. The effectiveness of any body transformation—whether emotional, sensorial, or mental—depends entirely on the height of the Source you connect to.
The Two Parts of the Body Experientially, the body consists of two dimensions:
1. The History: This includes not just your personal emotions and thoughts, but the collective history of rocks, crystals, animals, and plants stored within your cells.
2. Beyond History (Pure Substance): This is the body’s pure substance, or divine matter, which remains untouched by universal or personal history.
The Shift from History to Substance Most practices focus 99% of the time on “historical content”—working through pains and emotions. While this is good for purification, staying caught there limits transformation. This session invites you to embrace the body substance itself. A great support for this is moving into the domains of the subconscious and unconscient to discover the sacred within there, which will support you to access pure substance within more parts of the body.

Guided Inner Practice: Step-by-Step
Phase 1: Touching the Body Substance
1. Initial Awareness: Close your eyes and attempt to touch your body’s substance with your awareness. Just as you would feel your skin with your hands, take your awareness inside to sense the content of each part—noticing colors, images, or sensations.
2. Practicing Acceptance: As you travel through the body, you may encounter tightness or unconsciousness. Accept everything fully—the tiny victories, the defeats, the stresses, and the “deathlike” states. Do not fight the history; adopt a posture of utmost passivity.
3. Noticing Reactions: Observe your subtle reactions—hurry, avoidance, or shifts in breath—as you move through different areas. Try to remain in the body rather than running away from discomfort.
4. Sensorial Offering: Beyond thought, practice a sensorial “melting” posture. Allow the body to slightly drop down into gravity. With an attitude of offering, turn the entire history of the body (front and back of body) to the Divine above, the Divine within, or a Master’s presence.
In regular practices from here itself you can sense the depth of substance at depth of each part, in the aspiration to discover pure substance.
Phase 2: The Descent (As Above, So Below)
1. Connecting to the Sole of feet: Bring your awareness and breath into the soles of your feet. It does not matter if your feet are cross-legged or on the ground.
2. Dropping Down: Allow your awareness to “drop down” from the soles into the space below. For some, this feels like entering the earth or soil; for others, it feels like entering different qualities of consciousness or vast space.
3. Invoking the Sacred: As you explore this depth and wideness in the depth below, invoke the Divine presence.
◦ Silent Sound: Pick a point of concentration in this depth below and silently utter a sound there (not in your throat). Feel the vibration at that specific point for several seconds.
◦ Light and Form: If it feels natural, request and invoke a flame or a flower (which may look different from physical ones) to become present in this space.
◦ Concrete Connection: You may connect this entire “below” region to a physical representation of the sacred, such as a Sacred Mountain, a Samadhi, or the Matrimandir.
Phase 3: Integration and Return
1. Consecration: Aspire that the sacredness discovered below guides the entire transformation of your inner space.
2. The Return: Slowly allow your awareness to revert to your body. It may land in your feet, the cave of your heart, or above your head.
3. Final Bow: Touch the substance of your body once more. Even if the light or joy is not yet fully discovered, intuitively bow down to the pure substance within the depth of your matter. Allow this substance to become the leader of your body before closing the practice

How do I distinguish the body’s history from its pure substance?
To distinguish the body’s history from its pure substance, you must move beyond a mental understanding and engage in a sensorial exploration of your inner state. While the history is the “content” you often get caught in, the substance is the “sacred matter” that remains untouched by time or experience.
High-Level Glance: History vs. Pure Substance
• The Body’s History: A vast storehouse of personal and universal experiences, including emotions, thoughts, ancestral memories (animals, plants, rocks), and physical stresses. It is often experienced as pain, density, or specific images.
• The Pure Substance: The divine matter within the body that is untouched by history. It is found in the depth of the body and is characterized by qualities of light, joy, or a golden flow, even if these are not yet fully visible to you.
——————————————————————————–
Experiential Distinctions
1. The “Content” vs. The “Mass” When you travel through your body with awareness, you will naturally encounter the historical content first. This manifests as your subtle reactions—hurry, avoidance, or disappointments—to specific areas of tightness or unconsciousness. To find the pure substance, you must look past these reactions and attempt to “touch” the body’s actual mass and density with your awareness, much like you would feel the weight of an object in your hand.
2. Purification vs. Transformation Working on the body’s history (pain and emotions) is necessary for purification. However, staying focused only on this content can keep you trapped in an endless loop of processing. Distinguishing the pure substance requires a shift in interest: instead of trying to “fix” the history, you practice embracing the body substance itself through a posture of offering.
3. The Role of Acceptance and Offering
• Acceptance allows you to acknowledge the history without fighting it. By accepting the “defeat” of your stresses and illnesses, you stop being reactive to the historical content.
• Offering is the bridge to the pure substance. It is a “melting posture” where you sensorially drop the body’s weight into gravity and turn the history over to a higher Source, allowing the underlying sacred substance to emerge.
——————————————————————————–
Guided Practice: Distinguishing and Touching the Substance
To move from the history to the substance, follow these detailed steps:
Step 1: Sensorial Awareness of History
• Close your eyes and move your awareness through different parts of your body.
• Notice the history as it arises: identify any pains, specific emotions, or colors/images associated with different areas.
• Observe your subtle reactions: Do you want to run away from certain parts? Is there a shift in your breath? Simply notice these “likes and dislikes” that govern how you move through your history.
Step 2: The Posture of Absolute Acceptance
• To reach the substance, you must first pass through the history with utmost passivity.
• Fully accept everything you find—the stresses, the wrong postures, and even “deathlike” or dark currents.
• Do not try to change them; accept them as a “defeat” or a simple fact of the body’s past.
Step 3: Touching the Pure Substance
• Once you have accepted the history, practice a sensorial “melting”. Allow your body to slightly drop into gravity.
• Aspire to touch the body’s mass and density beyond the pain or emotion.
• Even if you cannot see light or joy yet, have the faith that divine matter exists at the depth of every cell. Bow down intuitively to this substance within your own matter.

How can I invoke the ‘Divine’ below my feet?
To invoke the Divine in the space below your feet, you must transition from your physical awareness into a “consciousness below,” using a combination of breath, silent vibration, and invocation. This practice follows the formula “as above, so below,” seeking to discover the sacred within the subconscient and unconscient domains.
High-Level Summary of the Invocation
• The Entry Point: Focus your awareness and breath into the soles of your feet.
• The Descent: Allow your consciousness to drop down into the space, soil, or vastness beneath you.
• Methods of Invocation: Use silent sounds (vibrations felt below), sacred symbols (flames or flowers), and concrete connections (linking the space to a Samadhi or Sacred Mountain).
——————————————————————————–
Detailed Step-by-Step Guided Practice
1. Establishing the Connection
Begin by bringing your full awareness and breath into the soles of your feet. It does not matter if your feet are resting on the ground or are cross-legged; the focus is on the substance and quality within the soles. Keeping your awareness here is itself a practice that can purify and heal the body.
2. Dropping into the “Below”
Slowly allow your awareness to “drop down” from your feet into the domain below. This experience varies by individual:
• It may feel like you are descending into earth, soil, or ground.
• It may feel like you are entering vast space or different qualities of consciousness. Stay in this depth and wideness, simply observing what you notice there.
3. Invoking through Aspiration and Sound
Once you have sensed a point of concentration in this lower space, begin the active invocation:
• Aspiration: Maintain a simple, steady inner call or aspiration to discover the sacred or divine presence in this depth.
• Silent Sound: Pick specific points in this vastness below and silently utter a sound or chant like OM. It is crucial that you do not utter the sound in your throat; instead, “utter” it at the point of concentration below.
• Vibration: Focus on feeling the vibration at that specific point for several seconds before moving to another point. This helps make the invocation “concrete” within the lower consciousness.
4. Invoking through Form and Sacred Symbols
If it feels natural, you can request a visual representation of the Divine to become present:
• Flame or Flower: Concentrate and request a sacred flame or a flower to appear in the space below. Note that these may look different from their physical counterparts.
• Concrete Representations: To ground the practice, connect this entire “below” region to a physical representation of the Divine, such as a Master’s Samadhi, the Matrimandir, or a Sacred Mountain.
5. Consecration and Integration
Conclude by aspiring that the sacredness you have discovered below guides the entire transformation of your inner space. Consecrate the space to the Divine and slowly allow your awareness to revert to your body, landing in your feet, your heart, or above your head. Finally, bow down intuitively to the pure substance within your matter, letting it become the “leader” of your body

What is the relationship between the subconscient and body history?
The relationship between the body’s history and the subconscient is one of content and domain. While the “history” consists of the stored experiences within the cells, the subconscient (and unconscient) is described as a deeper domain “below” that can be accessed to transform the roots of that history, such as fear.
The Nature of Body History
The body’s history is a vast, multi-layered storehouse of information. It is not merely limited to personal memories but includes:
• Personal and Collective Experiences: All your thoughts and emotions are stored within the body.
• Evolutionary Memory: The history includes every experience of “the rock, the crystals, the animals, the plants,” as well as what may be termed “past lives.”
• Sensorial Manifestations: This “historical content” often manifests as physical pain, emotional blocks, or specific inner images and colors.
The Subconscient as the “Domain Below”
The subconscient is explored as a specific source or domain that is often less investigated than the “consciousness above.”
• Location in Practice: To access the subconscient, you connect to the soles of your feet and “drop down” into the consciousness below.
• The Content of the Below: Upon entering this domain, you initially encounter “untransformed zones.” These zones are often characterized by fear and other hidden historical elements that haven’t been processed.
Key Relationship: Transformation of Fear and History
The relationship between these two concepts is primarily focused on transformation:
• Purification vs. Transformation: Focusing 99% of the time on “historical content” (pains and emotions) is useful for purification, but the sources warn that staying caught there can keep you in an endless loop of processing.
• Accessing the Root: By descending into the subconscient and unconscient (the below), you can discover something “sacred” that acts as a powerful transformative force.
• The Result of Discovery: Discovering the sacred within the subconscient is specifically credited with transforming fear and fundamentally changing the subconscious itself.
In summary, while body history is the “what” (the accumulated records of the past), the subconscient is the “where” (the deeper domain below) where the most stubborn parts of that history, like fear, reside. By invoking the Divine in the subconscient, you allow that sacredness to “guide the entire transformation” of your inner space and body substance.

How does discovering the sacred below help transform my fears?
Discovering the sacred below—referring to the domain of the subconscient and unconscient—is described as a powerful catalyst for transformation because it addresses the root of fear where it resides in the body’s depth.
Here is how this process helps transform your fears according to the sources:
1. Accessing the Root in the “Below”
The sources explain that while we often focus on surface-level emotions, a significant portion of our “history” and untransformed energy is stored in the subconscious and unconscient. To reach this area, the practice involves connecting to the soles of the feet and “dropping down” into the consciousness below. By entering this domain, you move beyond mere purification of symptoms and engage with the “untransformed zones” where deep-seated fear is held.
2. Introducing a High-Vibration Source
Transformation in the body depends entirely on the height of the Source you connect to. By specifically invoking the Divine or the sacred within the “below,” you are introducing a powerful, high-frequency presence into the very place where fear exists.
If you discover something sacred in this depth, it is “very transformative because it transforms your fear” and begins to fundamentally change the subconscious.
3. Replacing Fear with Sacred Presence
The guided practice suggests replacing the “untransformed” quality of these zones with sacred vibrations and symbols:
• Silent Sound: By uttering a sound silently at specific points in the depth below, you create a vibration that acts upon that space.
• Sacred Symbols: Invoking a flame or a flower in these deep regions provides a concrete point of concentration for the Divine presence.
• Concrete Connections: Linking the “below” to a sacred physical representation, such as a Samadhi or a Sacred Mountain, helps anchor the transformation in a concrete way.
4. Guiding the Entire Transformation
Once the sacredness is discovered or invoked in the domain below, you aspire for that sacredness to guide the entire transformation of the space. This shift allows the “pure substance” of the body—the divine matter untouched by history—to emerge as the leader of the body, rather than being governed by the historical reactions of fear, dislike, or avoidance.
In summary, the act of discovering the sacred below doesn’t just “fix” fear; it replaces the subconscious foundation of fear with a sacred presence that can then lead the healing and transformation of the entire inner space
