In many spiritual traditions, especially within Hinduism and certain Buddhist practices, self-realization is equated with the knowledge of the "Atman" or the soul, seeing it as non-different from the universal consciousness or "Brahman." It is the awakening to the realization that our deeper self is not confined to the physical body or the fleeting mind but is a part of a vast, unchanging, infinite consciousness.

Slowly breathe in and out as you move deeper and deeper into your center with each breath just allowing yourself to go deeper and deeper into that quiet center Deeper and deeper as you imagine that deep inside there is a switch that can turn off all the chatter and noise of the mind.

Turn this switch off now and as you do notice how you relax into deep deep stillness.

Now bring your awareness to the space between and slightly above your eyebrows deep within your brain.

This is the location where you will experience yourself as pure consciousness,

The spirit,

The seat of the soul.

And in this place repeat silently I am a luminous point of light.

I am a luminous shining point of light.

I am a shining point.

Take a moment now to visualize yourself as a tiny tiny luminous sparkling star.

A being of light inside you.

You feel you are this light.

You know you are invisible to the physical eyes but with your mind's eye,

Your third eye,

You can perceive yourself.

Yes,

You the soul,

This light are completely pure and radiant like a shining star.

As you focus on yourself as this point of light just acknowledge that you the soul completely separate from your brain.

The brain is merely a command center for your body while the soul,

You,

Are the driver,

The true commander of your thoughts and actions.

Realize this as you connect with yourself as a soul and as you see and feel yourself as this light,

This soul,

You gain spiritual power.

Allow the knowledge of the soul's eternal nature to fill you with a sense of serenity and infinite peace.

You are safe,

You are secure and you are free.

You the soul are non-physical and immortal.

You always exist and always will.

You the soul cannot be created or destroyed.

You existed in the past forever and you exist.

There's no beginning or end to this pure shining.

Allow this awareness to seep into your consciousness.

Deeply understand and accept yourself as a soul,

A spiritual being.

You are more than the physical body.

You are this eternal being of spiritual energy.

Allow this awareness to seep deeper and deeper into your consciousness and as you do you notice your mind relaxes,

Your mind becomes your friend and with each breath just connecting yourself as a soul.

Keep repeating in your mind,

I am a soul and I have a body.

I'm not the body,

I'm a beautiful being of metaphysical light.

I'm a soul,

I'm a soul and I'm separate from this body and slowly begin to bring your awareness back to the room around you.

Carrying this sense of peace and inner strength you've cultivated during this meditation with you as you continue your journey.
