To say that the walk-in experience is common may seem untrue, but there are many people having soul shifts that bring a new awareness of the multidimensional aspects of the soul. Learn about the common types of walk-in experiences we are seeing these days.
There are several different types of walk-ins. Some exchanges are between two unrelated souls (differing soul groups, monads, or oversouls) who have partnered for a particular (or multiple) incarnation. Other walk-ins involve primary soul mates from a group of souls (matrix) governed by the same monad, the perfect God essence or consciousness. Much like the brain is to the body, a monad is the highly-developed nucleus of a system. The monad is the ultimate guidance or control center of a group of souls that includes twin flames, soul mates, and soul aspects such as personalities and archetypes: inner child, the critical parent, the wounded healer, etc. A monad supplies the life-force, love, and attention needed to maintain an embodied soul’s existence on Earth as well as in non-physical realms. Your personal monad is responsible for your evolution as it ensures that all aspects of your being work in harmony toward soul integration. In spiritual terms, one monad contains twelve oversouls and each oversoul has twelve personalities (144 soul aspects).
Some bodies hold space on the Earth plane for many souls in a group to pass through over a lifetime. These “revolving door” walk-ins are like an inn where a soul or soul aspect may stay for a short while and then move on when the mission is complete. Yvonne Perry, the author of Walk-ins Among Us ~ Open Your Personal Portal to Cosmic Awareness, has integrated several soul aspects that have joined with her in this incarnation, each lending expertise and cooperating well with one another.
Types of Walk-ins
There are many variations of walk-ins and soul exchanges, so do not get caught up in labeling your experience. Each one is unique, depending upon the life situation of the natal soul, the background of the incoming spirit, and Earth’s evolutionary condition at the time of the walk-in. If you are a walk-in, use this book as a reference to understand your own experience.
Soul Exchanges
Before incarnation, an agreement is made between two souls to share a body during separate periods of time in order for each soul to accomplish more in one Earth lifetime. Soul exchanges take place when one soul walks out of a physical body at the same time the companion soul walks in.
When the first soul’s mission is complete and it no longer needs the body, it may choose to transfer the “real estate” (physical body) over to its companion soul rather than allowing the body to die. Therefore, the walk-in experience is a very wise use of “human resources.” Most families will not even know the natal soul has left. However, they may note many changes in the person’s life. My close family suspected I was having an emotional breakdown of sorts. But, since my walk-in occurred at age forty, I was able to pass it off as a mid-life crisis, which is the best understanding I had about what was happening at the time.
The natal soul that takes the body through the formative infant and childhood years may have a difficult life because that soul has asked for a “crash course” in order to speed up the evolutionary process. This life of hardships may create a very strong urge to leave the body when things get really painful. This is the signal for the walk-in/out process to begin. As the natal soul prepares to walk out, it may arrange for its exit by creating health problems, addictions, emotional issues, illness, or an accident. Some souls who are extremely desperate to leave may even attempt suicide. After all, humans do not typically want to leave a life that is happy and going well.
Soul Braids or Walk-Alongs
Souls are individuations of the Divine Cosmic Intelligence and are therefore multidimensional. It may be hard for some to fathom that humans have counterparts that exist in other planes and realms of consciousness where there is peaceful cooperation among all beings of light. In this century, we are seeing a lot of changes on Earth, as well as in our experience as humans. One of those changes is the incoming of multidimensional aspects of our souls. These are called “soul braids” or “walk-alongs” in which the energy of an additional soul joins the Earth mission but the original personality/soul does not leave. Instead, the two souls integrate. There may be name changes as a result. There are certainly physical, emotional, and cognitive changes. Sometimes companion souls move in and out of the body as needed. One will hold the body while the other takes care of matters in another dimension or level of vibrational consciousness, and then swap places or peacefully cohabitate and collaborate on a project for which both souls are needed.
There are times when an aspect of a soul will come to aid the embodied portion of the soul by offering special skills. Yvonne Perry experienced this when writing Shifting into Purer Consciousness ~ Integrating Spiritual Transformation with the Human Experience. She was draped by a higher aspect of my soul from the eighth or ninth dimension. “I felt this energy around me for twelve consecutive days and enjoyed a time of bliss like no other I had experienced prior,” says Yvonne. “Even after the ‘high’ left, I recognized an empowerment throughout the writing, editing, and publishing process. That aspect of my soul was integrated by the time the book was published.”
During times of soul braiding, a person can become very intense and focused on accomplishing their divine purpose. To help facilitate this mission, they may exhibit healing abilities, keen psychic sensitivity (empathy), strong and accurate intuition, and other spiritual gifts.
Soul braids can be formed in any number of combinations. Sometimes a soul braid is an oversoul merge in which a higher aspect of the same soul will download into the body and become part of a life experience, either temporarily or lifelong. Before I knew what a soul braid was, I referred to this experience as a changing of my spirit guides. I seem to feel, sense, and hear my guidance differently when this occurs.
An oversoul is a future self or higher frequency (think of musical or vibrational octaves) that is purer in consciousness and free of the polarity that characterizes three-dimensional life on Earth. When someone is said to be living in the third dimension, it means they are operating from the lower three chakras and have no concept of their multi-dimensional aspects.
There are cases when two or more souls may share a body, or its electromagnetic field, for a season or a lifetime. Entities, which are both detrimental and beneficial soul aspects, can attach themselves to the body or aura of an incarnated soul. When a person is abused, a soul can fragment to allow other aspects of their personality to come in and help deal with the stress. Thus, it makes sense that dissociative experiences are part of a spiritual journey rather than a mental or emotional disorder.
When two or more enlightened or evolved souls share a body or auric space, there is the kind of cooperation, peace, and harmony that we humans experience when working on a project as a team of qualified professionals. By the same token, there are cases in which we see lower aspects of a soul attached to and influencing an embodied soul. We want to avoid this and free ourselves of the potential for this to occur. When we forgive others, we heal wounds and close the portals that allow such contamination. I believe this is why Jesus’s primary teachings were about forgiveness and love. These entity attachments are the kind he “cast out” of the people to whom he ministered. Like the Christ, we raise our vibration by focusing on joy and bliss and by recognizing our oneness with God and All That Is—even these lower aspects of our souls. When we “cast them out” we are actually integrating them or putting them into their proper perspective by not allowing them to rule and reign over our thoughts, emotions, and actions. Then, the higher avatar self takes the wheel and calls the shots.
In the new world level of consciousness, the personality (ego or duality) and all the holographic aspects of the soul are reunited, and all chakras are blended into one unified field or column of light. This is known as the zero-point field or the trinity form.
Temporary Blending or Place Holding
The body is a vehicle, temple, or dwelling place for a soul. You may loan your car, rent out your house, or have someone live in your home while you are away. You may hire someone to come in and clean your house while you rest. You may have had some remodeling done to your dwelling while you were still living in it. My husband and I did this when we gutted our kitchen in 2007. We were without a sink for two weeks of the seven-week project. Washing dishes in the bathtub was a trip with no luggage; however, the finished project was amazing and I still enjoy the results. Compare this remodeling example to what a short- or long-term soul braid might accomplish. A soul braid may result in a miraculous healing of the body from a terminal illness, or it may create a life shift that the embodied soul was not able to achieve.
Another reason for a temporary blending occurs when one soul wants to experience something on Earth and then agrees to walk out when that venture is complete. Later on, another soul may come and experience what it needs. A soul braid may also be another version of your own soul coming in to assist the planet with evolution.
Because the body’s main function is to serve as a vehicle for expressing the various individuations of Source energy, multiple walk-ins or soul braids may occur in one body during a lifetime. Remember: these events are always agreements made between soul aspects, even if those involved are not consciously aware of the negotiation.
There may be times when a more evolved soul or higher aspect of someone’s soul holds the body as a marker soul while the natal soul does astral travel and accomplishes a task in another realm. This is a temporary assignment. When the natal soul returns, the swap is again made, but the individual may not notice it as much because the body has become accustomed to the higher vibration of the marker soul, and is able to accommodate the natal soul’s frequency, which is higher than it was when it first left. Why is it higher? The soul is perfect and now that the second soul has cleared the body of many negative imprints, the natal soul can vibrate with less obstruction. It’s like playing the same note an octave higher.
Many people are experiencing some profound shifts as we are ascending in consciousness.
