The Body's Resistance in Soul Descension

At the beginning of a soul descension, which as previously described takes place in limited sub-processes, the body can react with resistance. This resistance can take different forms, depending on how far along you are on the journey, and whether you have tried the process before and what the energy "hits" in your system. You may experience intense anger, skepticism towards spiritual concepts, or a reluctance to change your lifestyle and values. This resistance can be expressed as: "F****** spiritual bullshit" or "There's no way anyone's going to control me with doctrines."

Beneath this anger, there is often a deep sadness or pain that only reveals itself through surrender. This pain stems from the body's realization of the transformation it is undergoing. The body experiences a kind of psychological death process where parts of the old identity and its associated habits and beliefs must be dissolved to make way for the soul's energy. You know that something is dying, but you don't know what awaits on the other side.

This process can feel violent and confusing for the body, which is used to functioning in a certain way. It can feel like pressure when the soul "knocks" and the body resists change. It is important to acknowledge this resistance and understand it as a natural part of the process. By allowing the anger to be there and going deeper into it, you can discover the underlying vulnerability and fear of the great change that soul descension entails.

Physical Symptoms and Gentleness During Soul Descension

Soul descension can trigger several physical symptoms that can feel uncomfortable and unsettling. The body can react as if it is poisoned, and there may be fear of cardiac arrest, it can feel like exploding from the inside, or there may be other violent reactions. This reaction is because the body is exposed to higher frequencies from the soul and the cosmos, which can feel overwhelming and unknown to the physical body.

Another challenge is the body's awareness of its own mortality, which is amplified during soul descension. The body can have a natural longing to live forever, and the confrontation with its limited lifespan can create sadness and fear.

In this intense process, it is crucial to show gentleness towards the body. This means listening to the body's signals and needs and giving it the care it needs. This may involve giving the body rest when it is tired, nourishing it with the food it craves, and ensuring it gets enough sleep.

It is important to avoid being rigid or dogmatic about diet, exercise, and spiritual practices during this period. Instead of forcing the body into a particular shape or routine, it's about meeting its needs in the moment. If the body needs fries, give it fries, if there is a need for a steak or a glass of wine, don't hold back. If it needs fat or salt to handle the challenging processes, give it to it.

Gentleness is about meeting the body with understanding and care, as one would meet a frightened child. Talk to the body, acknowledge its fear and confusion, and offer it security and support. Explain to it that the changes it is experiencing are natural and part of a larger process. You can keep your right hand on your heart and try to "talk to the body", its answer can be in the form of a voice or sensations.

Gentleness does not mean passivity or excessive self-indulgence. It's about creating a space where the body can feel safe and supported in its transformation process. By treating the body with respect and care, you can help it navigate the challenges that arise during soul descension.
