In both science and spirituality, we often categorize human awareness into two primary states: the conscious mind, which navigates our daily reality, and the subconscious mind, which stores beliefs, habits, and past experiences. However, there exists a profound space beyond these—a third state—a liminal realm where transformation, deep healing, and quantum shifts occur.
At Metamorphosis Holistic Practice, we recognize this third state as the gateway to profound energetic realignment, expanded perception, and the ability to influence reality in ways most people have never tapped into. But what is this state exactly, and how does it affect our well-being and self-transformation?
What Is the Third State?
The third state can be described as the space between waking consciousness and deep subconscious programming—a realm where awareness becomes fluid, perception shifts, and the boundaries between thought and creation blur. Some cultures and scientific disciplines reference this state through different frameworks:
- Theta Brainwave State – In neuroscience, the third state is often linked to theta waves, which are present during deep meditation, hypnosis, and the moments before sleep. This is the space where the subconscious is more accessible, making it an ideal state for reprogramming beliefs and emotional healing.
- The Quantum Field – In quantum physics, there is the notion that reality exists as a field of probabilities until observed. The third state is where intention can interact with this field, allowing new possibilities to take shape before they manifest into the physical world.
- Shamanic & Mystical Traditions – Many indigenous and mystical traditions refer to this state as the bridge to the unseen world, where deeper wisdom, healing, and transformation occur through expanded awareness.
- The Hypnagogic State – The brief, fluid state between wakefulness and sleep, often accompanied by visions, intuitive downloads, and energetic shifts.
This third state is where we have the greatest capacity for change, as it is the moment when our egoic mind softens and our deepest truths and highest potential can be accessed.
The "third state" of existence is a newly emerging idea in science, suggesting that cells, tissues, and even consciousness can exist in a liminal state between life and death
Understanding the Liminal Space
Beyond the Binary
Our usual perception often operates in a "this or that" mode: awake or asleep, stressed or relaxed, healthy or ill. The liminal space transcends these distinctions. It’s the "in-between," a transition zone, a place of potential.
Characteristics:
- Transformation – This space is ripe for change. Old patterns and beliefs can dissolve, making way for new possibilities.
- Deep Healing – It allows access to deeper layers of the psyche and body, facilitating healing beyond surface-level symptoms.
- Quantum Shifts – This suggests a movement beyond linear, cause-and-effect thinking. It implies sudden, profound changes in consciousness and reality.
- Accessing the Unconscious – It's a gateway to the unconscious mind, where intuition, creativity, and inner wisdom reside.
- Suspension of Ordinary Time – Time may feel distorted or not exist at all.
- Increased Connectivity – A feeling of connection to something larger than oneself.
How to Access It:
- Meditation – Deep meditation can quiet the mind and create space for this state to emerge.
- Breathwork – Controlled breathing techniques can alter consciousness and facilitate access.
- Hypnosis – This can induce a trance-like state, opening the door to the unconscious.
- Dreaming – Lucid dreaming or dreamwork can provide access to symbolic and transformative experiences.
- Nature Immersion – Spending time in nature can quiet the mind and foster a sense of connection.
- Altered States of Consciousness – Some people find this space through the use of plant medicines, but this should be done with extreme caution and with the guidance of experienced practitioners.
- Creative Expression – Art, music, and dance can be pathways into this liminal space.
Psychological and Spiritual Connections:
- Jungian Psychology – This aligns with Jung's concept of the collective unconscious and the process of individuation, which involves integrating unconscious aspects of the self.
- Spiritual Traditions – Many spiritual traditions emphasize the importance of transcending the ego and accessing higher states of consciousness.
- Neuroscience – There's growing research on the brain's ability to enter altered states of consciousness, which may correlate with this liminal space.
Quantum Implications:
- The phrase "quantum shifts" suggests that this state may involve accessing non-local aspects of reality, where information and energy are not limited by space and time.
- This is highly theoretical, but it aligns with the idea that consciousness may play a more fundamental role in reality than previously thought.
In essence, this "third state" is a realm of potential, a place where the boundaries of ordinary experience dissolve, and profound transformation can occur.
How to Access the Third State
-
Reaching the third state is not difficult, but it requires intention and practice. Below are some of the most effective ways to enter this space:
1. Guided Breathwork & Meditation
Breathwork and meditative practices that slow brainwave activity can shift you into the third state, where deeper insights and healing occur.
2. Energy Work & Bodywork
Techniques such as bioenergetic healing, myofascial release, and craniosacral therapy can naturally guide the mind into the third state by freeing blocked energy and creating space for realignment.
3. Visualization & Hypnosis
Intentional visualization—especially in a deeply relaxed state—allows you to engage with the third state consciously, using it to reshape beliefs and reprogram the subconscious mind.
4. Transition States (Waking & Sleeping)
The moments right before falling asleep or waking up are naturally aligned with the third state. This is a powerful time to set intentions, engage in self-healing, or receive intuitive guidance.
The Third State and Metamorphosis Holistic Practice
At Metamorphosis Holistic Practice, we integrate this profound awareness into our healing work, helping individuals access their own third state of consciousness for transformation, healing, and realignment. Whether through energy recalibration, bodywork, guided visualization, or personalized breathwork, our approach is designed to facilitate deep shifts that extend beyond the conscious and subconscious mind.
How This Relates to The Metamorphosis Method:
- If the body holds onto trauma and energy after physical death, then while alive, it must have the ability to store and release it. This supports the core belief that emotions, trauma, and pain are not just neurological but are physically stored in the tissues themselves.
- The third state suggests that cells are not passive structures—they are adaptive, reactive, and potentially even conscious. This aligns with my work, where you directly engage with these energy-holding areas to shift stored patterns.
- If cells don’t immediately die, they may also “remember” past states of trauma or wellness. This supports the idea that energy blockages aren’t just muscle tension—they could be quantum imprints in cellular memory.
If you’re ready to explore the space between, where deep healing and transformation unfold, we invite you to experience Metamorphosis Holistic Practice for yourself.
