The veil between these worlds of the scene and the unseen begins to thin.
Speaker:And there's a crossover,
Speaker:an exchange that can happen that is particular to Autumn.
Speaker:What can you expect to happen when the veil thins?
Speaker:Hello and welcome back to Remember Why You're Here,
Speaker:a podcast for seekers and sensitives where you can relax, receive,
Speaker:reconnect yourself and remember that most important thing of all,
Speaker:why you're here. I'm Asia Suler, author,
Speaker:earth intuitive. And in this episode today,
Speaker:I wanted to review, return to,
Speaker:revisit one of the most popular things I think I ever posted on
Speaker:YouTube. And it's a video called What Happens When the Veil Thins?
Speaker:So for years,
Speaker:I've been talking about autumn as the season when the veil thins.
Speaker:I love this expression. This is a very classic term this time
Speaker:of the year. A lot of us are often referring to, oh, the veil is thin.
Speaker:And yet I don't often find people slowing down to actually explain what that
Speaker:means.
Speaker:If autumn is this time where the veil between the worlds gets thin,
Speaker:what does that actually mean in terms of what opens for us,
Speaker:what's possible for us,
Speaker:what's on offer during this special time of the year?
Speaker:It was interesting for me this summer. I was so excited about summer this year,
Speaker:y'all. Winter just felt so long. I was so excited about summer.
Speaker:And at some point in the middle of summer, I remember thinking to myself like,
Speaker:"Gosh, I just wish it could be summer forever.
Speaker:I don't know if I'm going to be ready for the fall." But as soon as those fall
Speaker:winds started to come in,
Speaker:it just evokes this feeling that really doesn't exist any other
Speaker:time of the year. And in fact,
Speaker:I found myself kind of on my knees in gratitude and excitement for fall once it
Speaker:did arrive because I absolutely love the mystical energy
Speaker:this time of the year. I love the ways in which the gateways open,
Speaker:the gateways to perception open in which our intuitive gifts can deepen.
Speaker:And as I talked about in the intuitive reading from last week,
Speaker:this month in particular, this year,
Speaker:there's really this opportunity here for connecting to our
Speaker:own seership, our ability to see, our own intuitive abilities.
Speaker:What I said in that intuitive reading last week was this is kind of one of those
Speaker:opportunities that only comes along every handful of years to
Speaker:exponentially deepen our ability to connect to the Otherworld,
Speaker:to the beyond, to the spirit realm.
Speaker:You can probably remember other times in your life where it was like there was a
Speaker:distinct before and after of like, oh, and then after that I could,
Speaker:whatever it was,
Speaker:really dream much more often or really receive signs from the
Speaker:living world or be able to see auras or just be able to trust
Speaker:my gut.
Speaker:And so we're in the midst of one of these times right now and we're being aided
Speaker:massively by the fact that the veil is thin and all these supportive energies on
Speaker:the other side could come support us.
Speaker:So I thought it would be interesting to revisit this recording
Speaker:now so we can really ground in what I mean when I say the veil is thin or what
Speaker:other people mean when they reference this because I think sometimes this is
Speaker:thrown around and we don't actually slow down to examine what does this actually
Speaker:mean about what energies, unique,
Speaker:specific special energies are available for us this fall? Okay,
Speaker:before we dive into that content,
Speaker:I wanted to let you know that Be Your Own Seer,
Speaker:the self-guided divinatory practice that I created over on the companion
Speaker:Substack to this podcast is now live.
Speaker:So I created this process so that you could really open your seership
Speaker:abilities this month,
Speaker:that you could develop the confidence and the clarity that you need to really be
Speaker:able to tune in and receive the guidance,
Speaker:the images,
Speaker:the visions that you need to take the next step in your life.
Speaker:I really think there's a strong opportunity this month for that,
Speaker:for opening up our seership abilities.
Speaker:So I felt excited to create this guided practice for you.
Speaker:The practice itself is only for paid subscribers. So if you're interested,
Speaker:you can head on over. It's $5 a month. You can access every single paid post,
Speaker:class, meditation, guiding exercise for that $5,
Speaker:and you'll also then be able to access Be Your Own Seer.
Speaker:So I'm excited to hear about how this month of seership and the thinning of
Speaker:the veil unveils for you. And in the meantime,
Speaker:let's talk about what it means when people say the veil is thin.
Speaker:In Celtic traditions, it said that in autumn,
Speaker:the veil between the worlds thins.
Speaker:I've always loved this term. To me,
Speaker:it captures in a poetic way something that I innately feel every time autumn
Speaker:comes around again. But what does this really mean?
Speaker:What does it mean to have this veil between the worlds thin? In autumn,
Speaker:as the life force of the living world begins to drain back down to
Speaker:the roots,
Speaker:it's almost as if there's bigger space made for the unseen.
Speaker:In Celtic traditions,
Speaker:we say the veil between these worlds of the seen and the unseen begins to
Speaker:thin. And there's a crossover,
Speaker:an exchange that can happen that is particular to autumn.
Speaker:For as poetic as this term is though,
Speaker:I find it's helpful to actually know what that means on a tangible level.
Speaker:What can you expect to happen when the veil thins?
Speaker:These are some themes that I've noticed coming up for me, my clients,
Speaker:and my students almost every fall.
Speaker:And sometimes if we can just become aware of them,
Speaker:then we can really harness the medicine they can bring.
Speaker:The first thing that you might notice happening is that those who are
Speaker:on the other side can come visit you.
Speaker:So you might notice in autumn that loved ones who've passed on
Speaker:are visiting you in your dreams or that you're having breakthrough memories of
Speaker:them or having experiences where you feel like they're close to you.
Speaker:It's been amazing to me to see how many times this has happened for myself or
Speaker:for a client. And when we take a step back and we notice, ah,
Speaker:we're tipping from the equinox into fall, this makes sense.
Speaker:It's actually easier in the fall for our loved ones to reach out to us.
Speaker:So as we enter into fall,
Speaker:if you're having a dream with someone you've loved who's passed on or you're
Speaker:feeling them reach out to you, don't discount this.
Speaker:Know that this is actually a really opportune moment for them to be able to
Speaker:reach out to you and connect.
Speaker:The next thing you might notice in fall are greater psychic openings.
Speaker:So when the veil is thin,
Speaker:there is a lessening of the boundaries in our perception.
Speaker:So this could mean a lot of things.
Speaker:You might have a creative outpouring in fall. I know for me,
Speaker:every autumn is always a very creative time for me.
Speaker:So you might notice that in autumn you have new ideas, new visions,
Speaker:new dreams come around,
Speaker:or it might be a time where some of your dreams are coming to fruition.
Speaker:This creativity is really coming from the thinning of this veil between
Speaker:the normal day-to-day perception and this wider perception of the unseen world
Speaker:and all the possibilities that live there.
Speaker:This can also be a time of study, scholarship, and learning,
Speaker:new awakenings.
Speaker:It's almost as if the aperture on your life can expand and you can see more than
Speaker:you saw before. There's a reason why every fall we begin school again,
Speaker:and it's not just because of the harvest season,
Speaker:there's something going on in the wider consciousness of the way the seasons
Speaker:progress where fall itself is a wonderful time to expand the boundaries of your
Speaker:knowledge.
Speaker:So you might find yourself being drawn to study a new discipline or a new
Speaker:practice. And if you're feeling that urge,
Speaker:follow it because this might be the beginning of a whole new perception.
Speaker:Along with this idea of psychic openings,
Speaker:fall is also a really important time to get clear on your boundaries.
Speaker:So anytime the veil is getting thin,
Speaker:there's the possibility for more energies to be coming into your sphere.
Speaker:So I often find in fall I need to sort of re-up my negotiations with my
Speaker:boundaries. It can be really helpful to set limits,
Speaker:especially if you're someone who's highly creative or highly connected to the
Speaker:spirit world. You can set boundaries to say, "I'm open for new insight,
Speaker:information and communication between these hours every evening. Beyond that,
Speaker:I need my sleep and I need to go about my day-to-day life." The thinning of a
Speaker:veil can also mean death. Now, when I say death,
Speaker:I don't necessarily mean the physical passing of somebody.
Speaker:I mean death more in the tarot card way.
Speaker:So when you get death in the major arcana of the tarot deck,
Speaker:it doesn't necessarily mean this black and white death as in we think of it.
Speaker:Death may mean just an ending. In fall,
Speaker:we often come up to this period of ending contracts.
Speaker:So when the veil thins,
Speaker:we're able to see some things that were obscured from our view before.
Speaker:So you might have some stuff coming up in your relationships for review,
Speaker:renewal, or termination.
Speaker:This is also a time when memories tend to come up for us. Now,
Speaker:these memories from the past are often coming up because they're looking for
Speaker:resolution. There's something about these memories,
Speaker:maybe some of them might even feel like barbed nostalgia,
Speaker:that are coming up for you to release something about them that is still
Speaker:creating a holding pattern within you.
Speaker:Fall might be one of the most potent times for you to really end some
Speaker:limiting patterns or belief systems.
Speaker:And sometimes memories will come up for us to be able to see the ways in which
Speaker:these limiting belief systems or programs have followed us throughout our lives.
Speaker:So if you're having memories come up, old stuff for review,
Speaker:know that this is part of this regeneration process which begins with the death.
Speaker:And if you're feeling a little bit worried or intimidated by this,
Speaker:remember that harvest and death goes hand in hand.
Speaker:When we harvest the squash from our garden or the apples from the tree,
Speaker:this is also a death. We need death in order to have harvest.
Speaker:So know if you're having a lot of stuff come up in your life to release during
Speaker:the fall,
Speaker:that this is actually indicative of many abundant harvests for you
Speaker:in the days, months, and seasons to come.
Speaker:One of the last things to look out for as the veil thins is the ability to
Speaker:actually plant seeds of new manifestations. When the veil is thin,
Speaker:we have access to the dreaming part of ourselves,
Speaker:that part of ourselves that is here to be in co-creation,
Speaker:that is here to dream our lives into existence. Now,
Speaker:a lot of times we forget that fall is actually when a lot of first new growth
Speaker:begins. If you have a garden,
Speaker:fall is where you plant your perennial bulbs.
Speaker:So think about the thinning of the veil as a time in which you're going to plant
Speaker:some new longstanding patterns, programs,
Speaker:or projects in your life. This is that time to get those bulbs,
Speaker:those perennial bulbs that will bloom for years to come in the ground.
Speaker:So if you are having dreams come through or visions come through for you this
Speaker:fall,
Speaker:know that this is just the beginning of something that might feed you for many
Speaker:years to come. And if you have the space and time,
Speaker:really drop into what these dreams are asking of you.
Speaker:Is it to go on a new course of study?
Speaker:Is it to release or is it simply to be and experience this time of
Speaker:the thinning of the veil?
Speaker:Right on the other side of the veil is what we call the Otherworld,
Speaker:this place of spirit, of the ineffable, of the unseen,
Speaker:of the mysterious.
Speaker:If you're intrigued by this concept of the Otherworld,
Speaker:I invite you to come join me for my online class, Herbs for the Otherworld.
Speaker:In the class, we explore the contours of the Otherworld. What is it?
Speaker:Where is it?
Speaker:And why connect to this place that was so essential to the ancient Celts?
Speaker:In the course,
Speaker:we go over key practices and rituals to really make the most of this time of
Speaker:the thinning of the veil,
Speaker:as well as looking at several different plants that can really open the gateway
Speaker:to a truly profound autumn.
Speaker:I love that in this recording,
Speaker:I talked about my class Herbs for the Otherworld because this was the very
Speaker:first class I ever put online. And if I'm not mistaken,
Speaker:I don't think I am.
Speaker:I think this is the 10-year anniversary of me recording this class.
Speaker:Yeah, it is because I did it in 2016.
Speaker:So it's the 10-year anniversary of me creating this class and really creating it
Speaker:at a time where my own seership abilities, I was just in a leap phase,
Speaker:like big time leap phase with my seership abilities,
Speaker:so much connection and communication from the Otherworld.
Speaker:And I remember when I recorded this class,
Speaker:I really felt like I was speaking from within the Otherworld the entire time I
Speaker:was teaching it. And then in the interim,
Speaker:it's been the most popular small class I have on my website by far.
Speaker:And so many people have had really powerful experiences with this class,
Speaker:so much so that they bought it once and returned to it every single autumn.
Speaker:So that is available for y'all too.
Speaker:If you're interested in Herbs for the Otherworld,
Speaker:if you're specifically interested in plant work,
Speaker:go ahead and check out Herbs for the Otherworld.
Speaker:I can't believe it's been 10 years. That's amazing.
Speaker:And if Seership in particular is the thing that you're excited about in this
Speaker:month,
Speaker:developing your intuitive ability to see and perceive and bring in guiding
Speaker:information in your life, that Be Your Own Seer,
Speaker:guided meditation and practice,
Speaker:guided intuitive practice is over on the Substack.
Speaker:So may all the supportive energies that you need this month surround you,
Speaker:may you feel their presence,
Speaker:may this thinning of the veil really bring through deep gifts for you in this
Speaker:time of deepening in all the ways, deepening our intuitive practices,
Speaker:deepening our connection to the beyond, deepening our trust and our instincts,
Speaker:and deepening our creative visions.
Speaker:And as you move more deeply into this season of the thinning of the veil,
Speaker:may it help you remember that most important thing of all,
Speaker:why you're here.
