  The veil between these worlds of the scene and the unseen begins to thin.
• 0:06
  And there's a crossover,
• 0:07
  an exchange that can happen that is particular to Autumn.

  What can you expect to happen when the veil thins?

  Hello and welcome back to Remember Why You're Here,
• 0:29
  a podcast for seekers and sensitives where you can relax, receive,
• 0:33
  reconnect yourself and remember that most important thing of all,
• 0:37
  why you're here. I'm Asia Suler, author,
• 0:41
  earth intuitive. And in this episode today,
• 0:46
  I wanted to review, return to,
• 0:49
  revisit one of the most popular things I think I ever posted on
• 0:54
  YouTube. And it's a video called What Happens When the Veil Thins?
• 0:59
  So for years,
• 1:02
  I've been talking about autumn as the season when the veil thins.
• 1:06
  I love this expression. This is a very classic term this time
• 1:11
  of the year. A lot of us are often referring to, oh, the veil is thin.
• 1:16
  And yet I don't often find people slowing down to actually explain what that
• 1:21
  means.
• 1:22
  If autumn is this time where the veil between the worlds gets thin,
• 1:27
  what does that actually mean in terms of what opens for us,
• 1:31
  what's possible for us,
• 1:33
  what's on offer during this special time of the year?
• 1:37
  It was interesting for me this summer. I was so excited about summer this year,
• 1:41
  y'all. Winter just felt so long. I was so excited about summer.
• 1:45
  And at some point in the middle of summer, I remember thinking to myself like,
• 1:47
  "Gosh, I just wish it could be summer forever.
• 1:49
  I don't know if I'm going to be ready for the fall." But as soon as those fall
• 1:54
  winds started to come in,
• 1:57
  it just evokes this feeling that really doesn't exist any other
• 2:02
  time of the year. And in fact,
• 2:03
  I found myself kind of on my knees in gratitude and excitement for fall once it
• 2:08
  did arrive because I absolutely love the mystical energy
• 2:13
  this time of the year. I love the ways in which the gateways open,
• 2:18
  the gateways to perception open in which our intuitive gifts can deepen.
• 2:22
  And as I talked about in the intuitive reading from last week,
• 2:27
  this month in particular, this year,
• 2:30
  there's really this opportunity here for connecting to our
• 2:35
  own seership, our ability to see, our own intuitive abilities.
• 2:40
  What I said in that intuitive reading last week was this is kind of one of those
• 2:43
  opportunities that only comes along every handful of years to
• 2:49
  exponentially deepen our ability to connect to the Otherworld,
• 2:53
  to the beyond, to the spirit realm.
• 2:56
  You can probably remember other times in your life where it was like there was a
• 3:01
  distinct before and after of like, oh, and then after that I could,
• 3:05
  whatever it was,
• 3:06
  really dream much more often or really receive signs from the
• 3:11
  living world or be able to see auras or just be able to trust
• 3:16
  my gut.
• 3:17
  And so we're in the midst of one of these times right now and we're being aided
• 3:22
  massively by the fact that the veil is thin and all these supportive energies on
• 3:26
  the other side could come support us.
• 3:28
  So I thought it would be interesting to revisit this recording
• 3:33
  now so we can really ground in what I mean when I say the veil is thin or what
• 3:38
  other people mean when they reference this because I think sometimes this is
• 3:41
  thrown around and we don't actually slow down to examine what does this actually
• 3:46
  mean about what energies, unique,
• 3:48
  specific special energies are available for us this fall? Okay,
• 3:52
  before we dive into that content,
• 3:54
  I wanted to let you know that Be Your Own Seer,
• 3:56
  the self-guided divinatory practice that I created over on the companion
• 4:01
  Substack to this podcast is now live.
• 4:04
  So I created this process so that you could really open your seership
• 4:09
  abilities this month,
• 4:10
  that you could develop the confidence and the clarity that you need to really be
• 4:15
  able to tune in and receive the guidance,
• 4:19
  the images,
• 4:20
  the visions that you need to take the next step in your life.
• 4:25
  I really think there's a strong opportunity this month for that,
• 4:30
  for opening up our seership abilities.
• 4:32
  So I felt excited to create this guided practice for you.
• 4:37
  The practice itself is only for paid subscribers. So if you're interested,
• 4:41
  you can head on over. It's $5 a month. You can access every single paid post,
• 4:47
  class, meditation, guiding exercise for that $5,
• 4:51
  and you'll also then be able to access Be Your Own Seer.
• 4:54
  So I'm excited to hear about how this month of seership and the thinning of
• 4:59
  the veil unveils for you. And in the meantime,
• 5:04
  let's talk about what it means when people say the veil is thin.
• 5:11
  In Celtic traditions, it said that in autumn,
• 5:15
  the veil between the worlds thins.
• 5:18
  I've always loved this term. To me,
• 5:20
  it captures in a poetic way something that I innately feel every time autumn
• 5:25
  comes around again. But what does this really mean?
• 5:29
  What does it mean to have this veil between the worlds thin? In autumn,
• 5:34
  as the life force of the living world begins to drain back down to
• 5:39
  the roots,
• 5:40
  it's almost as if there's bigger space made for the unseen.
• 5:45
  In Celtic traditions,
• 5:46
  we say the veil between these worlds of the seen and the unseen begins to
• 5:51
  thin. And there's a crossover,
• 5:54
  an exchange that can happen that is particular to autumn.
• 5:58
  For as poetic as this term is though,
• 6:00
  I find it's helpful to actually know what that means on a tangible level.
• 6:05
  What can you expect to happen when the veil thins?
• 6:09
  These are some themes that I've noticed coming up for me, my clients,
• 6:13
  and my students almost every fall.
• 6:15
  And sometimes if we can just become aware of them,
• 6:18
  then we can really harness the medicine they can bring.
• 6:21
  The first thing that you might notice happening is that those who are
• 6:26
  on the other side can come visit you.
• 6:30
  So you might notice in autumn that loved ones who've passed on
• 6:35
  are visiting you in your dreams or that you're having breakthrough memories of
• 6:39
  them or having experiences where you feel like they're close to you.
• 6:44
  It's been amazing to me to see how many times this has happened for myself or
• 6:48
  for a client. And when we take a step back and we notice, ah,
• 6:52
  we're tipping from the equinox into fall, this makes sense.
• 6:57
  It's actually easier in the fall for our loved ones to reach out to us.
• 7:01
  So as we enter into fall,
• 7:03
  if you're having a dream with someone you've loved who's passed on or you're
• 7:07
  feeling them reach out to you, don't discount this.
• 7:10
  Know that this is actually a really opportune moment for them to be able to
• 7:14
  reach out to you and connect.
• 7:16
  The next thing you might notice in fall are greater psychic openings.
• 7:21
  So when the veil is thin,
• 7:24
  there is a lessening of the boundaries in our perception.
• 7:29
  So this could mean a lot of things.
• 7:31
  You might have a creative outpouring in fall. I know for me,
• 7:35
  every autumn is always a very creative time for me.
• 7:39
  So you might notice that in autumn you have new ideas, new visions,
• 7:44
  new dreams come around,
• 7:45
  or it might be a time where some of your dreams are coming to fruition.
• 7:49
  This creativity is really coming from the thinning of this veil between
• 7:54
  the normal day-to-day perception and this wider perception of the unseen world
• 7:59
  and all the possibilities that live there.
• 8:01
  This can also be a time of study, scholarship, and learning,
• 8:06
  new awakenings.
• 8:07
  It's almost as if the aperture on your life can expand and you can see more than
• 8:12
  you saw before. There's a reason why every fall we begin school again,
• 8:17
  and it's not just because of the harvest season,
• 8:19
  there's something going on in the wider consciousness of the way the seasons
• 8:23
  progress where fall itself is a wonderful time to expand the boundaries of your
• 8:28
  knowledge.
• 8:29
  So you might find yourself being drawn to study a new discipline or a new
• 8:34
  practice. And if you're feeling that urge,
• 8:36
  follow it because this might be the beginning of a whole new perception.
• 8:41
  Along with this idea of psychic openings,
• 8:43
  fall is also a really important time to get clear on your boundaries.
• 8:48
  So anytime the veil is getting thin,
• 8:51
  there's the possibility for more energies to be coming into your sphere.
• 8:55
  So I often find in fall I need to sort of re-up my negotiations with my
• 8:59
  boundaries. It can be really helpful to set limits,
• 9:03
  especially if you're someone who's highly creative or highly connected to the
• 9:06
  spirit world. You can set boundaries to say, "I'm open for new insight,
• 9:11
  information and communication between these hours every evening. Beyond that,
• 9:16
  I need my sleep and I need to go about my day-to-day life." The thinning of a
• 9:20
  veil can also mean death. Now, when I say death,
• 9:25
  I don't necessarily mean the physical passing of somebody.
• 9:29
  I mean death more in the tarot card way.
• 9:33
  So when you get death in the major arcana of the tarot deck,
• 9:36
  it doesn't necessarily mean this black and white death as in we think of it.
• 9:41
  Death may mean just an ending. In fall,
• 9:45
  we often come up to this period of ending contracts.
• 9:50
  So when the veil thins,
• 9:52
  we're able to see some things that were obscured from our view before.
• 9:56
  So you might have some stuff coming up in your relationships for review,
• 10:00
  renewal, or termination.
• 10:02
  This is also a time when memories tend to come up for us. Now,
• 10:07
  these memories from the past are often coming up because they're looking for
• 10:11
  resolution. There's something about these memories,
• 10:14
  maybe some of them might even feel like barbed nostalgia,
• 10:18
  that are coming up for you to release something about them that is still
• 10:23
  creating a holding pattern within you.
• 10:26
  Fall might be one of the most potent times for you to really end some
• 10:30
  limiting patterns or belief systems.
• 10:33
  And sometimes memories will come up for us to be able to see the ways in which
• 10:37
  these limiting belief systems or programs have followed us throughout our lives.
• 10:42
  So if you're having memories come up, old stuff for review,
• 10:47
  know that this is part of this regeneration process which begins with the death.
• 10:52
  And if you're feeling a little bit worried or intimidated by this,
• 10:56
  remember that harvest and death goes hand in hand.
• 10:59
  When we harvest the squash from our garden or the apples from the tree,
• 11:04
  this is also a death. We need death in order to have harvest.
• 11:09
  So know if you're having a lot of stuff come up in your life to release during
• 11:12
  the fall,
• 11:13
  that this is actually indicative of many abundant harvests for you
• 11:18
  in the days, months, and seasons to come.
• 11:22
  One of the last things to look out for as the veil thins is the ability to
• 11:27
  actually plant seeds of new manifestations. When the veil is thin,
• 11:32
  we have access to the dreaming part of ourselves,
• 11:34
  that part of ourselves that is here to be in co-creation,
• 11:38
  that is here to dream our lives into existence. Now,
• 11:41
  a lot of times we forget that fall is actually when a lot of first new growth
• 11:46
  begins. If you have a garden,
• 11:48
  fall is where you plant your perennial bulbs.
• 11:52
  So think about the thinning of the veil as a time in which you're going to plant
• 11:57
  some new longstanding patterns, programs,
• 12:02
  or projects in your life. This is that time to get those bulbs,
• 12:06
  those perennial bulbs that will bloom for years to come in the ground.
• 12:11
  So if you are having dreams come through or visions come through for you this
• 12:15
  fall,
• 12:15
  know that this is just the beginning of something that might feed you for many
• 12:19
  years to come. And if you have the space and time,
• 12:23
  really drop into what these dreams are asking of you.
• 12:26
  Is it to go on a new course of study?
• 12:29
  Is it to release or is it simply to be and experience this time of
• 12:34
  the thinning of the veil?
• 12:36
  Right on the other side of the veil is what we call the Otherworld,
• 12:40
  this place of spirit, of the ineffable, of the unseen,
• 12:46
  of the mysterious.
• 12:49
  If you're intrigued by this concept of the Otherworld,
• 12:52
  I invite you to come join me for my online class, Herbs for the Otherworld.
• 12:57
  In the class, we explore the contours of the Otherworld. What is it?
• 13:03
  Where is it?
• 13:04
  And why connect to this place that was so essential to the ancient Celts?
• 13:09
  In the course,
• 13:10
  we go over key practices and rituals to really make the most of this time of
• 13:15
  the thinning of the veil,
• 13:16
  as well as looking at several different plants that can really open the gateway
• 13:21
  to a truly profound autumn.
• 13:26
  I love that in this recording,
• 13:29
  I talked about my class Herbs for the Otherworld because this was the very
• 13:33
  first class I ever put online. And if I'm not mistaken,
• 13:38
  I don't think I am.
• 13:39
  I think this is the 10-year anniversary of me recording this class.
• 13:45
  Yeah, it is because I did it in 2016.
• 13:48
  So it's the 10-year anniversary of me creating this class and really creating it
• 13:52
  at a time where my own seership abilities, I was just in a leap phase,
• 13:56
  like big time leap phase with my seership abilities,
• 13:59
  so much connection and communication from the Otherworld.
• 14:03
  And I remember when I recorded this class,
• 14:05
  I really felt like I was speaking from within the Otherworld the entire time I
• 14:10
  was teaching it. And then in the interim,
• 14:13
  it's been the most popular small class I have on my website by far.
• 14:18
  And so many people have had really powerful experiences with this class,
• 14:21
  so much so that they bought it once and returned to it every single autumn.
• 14:26
  So that is available for y'all too.
• 14:28
  If you're interested in Herbs for the Otherworld,
• 14:31
  if you're specifically interested in plant work,
• 14:35
  go ahead and check out Herbs for the Otherworld.
• 14:37
  I can't believe it's been 10 years. That's amazing.
• 14:40
  And if Seership in particular is the thing that you're excited about in this
• 14:45
  month,
• 14:45
  developing your intuitive ability to see and perceive and bring in guiding
• 14:50
  information in your life, that Be Your Own Seer,
• 14:53
  guided meditation and practice,
• 14:55
  guided intuitive practice is over on the Substack.
• 14:59
  So may all the supportive energies that you need this month surround you,
• 15:03
  may you feel their presence,
• 15:05
  may this thinning of the veil really bring through deep gifts for you in this
• 15:10
  time of deepening in all the ways, deepening our intuitive practices,
• 15:14
  deepening our connection to the beyond, deepening our trust and our instincts,
• 15:19
  and deepening our creative visions.
• 15:21
  And as you move more deeply into this season of the thinning of the veil,
• 15:26
  may it help you remember that most important thing of all,
• 15:30
  why you're here.
