Everyone of us is connected with the Universe and the Divine Power. The Higher Self within us far transcends the understanding of our conscious mind. This divine part of us is our connection to the other side, our past lives and our true purpose for incarnating. This Divine part of us knows who we really are. The Higher self is the one connection that you want to make if you want to advance the progress of your spirit and soul. The following are a few steps to begin your journey to discovering this Divine Part of you!
1. Believe and Expect to communicate!
You must first and foremost believe in the Higher Self. The first step in developing this belief is to establish communication! Then set your expectations so that every day this communication will improve as you focus on inner growth and your spirituality. Without these two essential pre-requisites of belief and setting high expecttions, it is hard to achieve anything at all in life, even on the physical level. You are setting a standard of belief basically in yourself and developing an expectation that You will not lie to You! For inner growth, these two qualities are essential. So today I want you to set a goal to achieve contact with your Higher Self, post your goal in an obvious place like about your computer so you can meditate on this goal daily. The diligently maintain your purpose with joy and determination until success is yours.
2. Stop believing in the common World View Propoganda!
We are brought up with a primarily materialistic world view that neglects the role of Spirit. We are bombarded with propoganda that tells us to buy this and not buy that and to vote for this one or that way etc etc. To establish close contact with spiritual realms, we need to have our entire being - conscious and subconscious - get in sync with our spiritual goals. In any major activity/goal, you have to establish the rules of the game and the way it is played. Try to limit your access to things that are negative for a few weeks especially the world news for basically the news is becoming a giant fear tactic to get you to react in a certain way. Therefore, seek out writings and teachers that expand your understanding of the universe as fundamentally being a realm of Consciousness and Mind. Read some uplifting books like the "Divine Matrix", by Greg Braden to name just one.
3. Seek Solitude and make it a priority in your life.
Make regular time for yourself where you can be totally alone. A quiet place is preferable. Just sit quietly with no expectations. Begin to watch your breath enter and exit your body. This may feel very uncomfortable and strange in the beginning. You must develop this so persist even though you want to quit. During this quiet time do not be surprised if you recieve an insight that an event will occur; someone will tell you exactly what you need to hear; you will get a sudden flash of insight. All the great geniuses of history have found times of regular solitude and silence for themselves. You should too. This is stage one of developing intuitive insight and is so valuable. There is scientific proof that meditation calms the body and mind and soothes your soul. The quiet time will lead you to the next important step in your journey!
4. Meditation
In meditation, you work to discipline your mind and silence the internal chatter that constantly fill it. You create a pure vessel for the Higher Self to fill. Following your breath is an excellent meditation discipline, as is concentrating upon a candle flame. Or visualize a golden ball of light in your Solar Plexus that fills your whole body with energy and healing. As you sit quietly and comtemplate whatever you choose ..envision in your mind that there is a large wishing well in your mind and there is a lid that covers the top of it. As stray thoughts come (and rest assured they will) just put them down the well and mentally see yourself putting the lid on them and go back to concentrating on the object you hold in your hand or a spot on the wall etc. There are many practices that you can study and use and also you can take advantage of many of the guided meditations that you can find on the internet now.
5. You must keep a Journal!
Learning to Journal is a excellent way to record your feelings, emotions, dreams and insights every day. I have kept journals for most of my life and now when I am searching for answers I will return to old journals to track how I handled similar situations in the past. It is a great way to record your progress.
My kids love my journals now that they are grown and they keep asking me if they can read them when they come visit. It helps them to understand where I have been also. I found my journals to be cathartic and I cannot tell you how valuable they will be for you when you truly start to use this method as a way to track your progress.
You will be amazed how much it helps you with the details of life. When you remember the past it is usually with large details and the finer ones are forgotton. When you journal you will pick up the finer details once again that you have filed away.
This will help you to come into closer contact with your inner intuitive depths. You can ask your Higher Self and your Spirit Guides questions, and then later on record whatever insights/answers you receive. If you do this regularly with belief and expectation, you will receive the answers you need and sometimes in a surprising way. For example this morning I was adding a new lovely young client to my prayer list and as I was writing about her the words came so quickly to me that she was going to be perfectly fine and her trials were diminishing right now.
That was such a relief for me because this is a young women with many health problems. I just knew with complete faith that the answers had come to me to ease my mind also. It will amaze you to find that your life path seems to repeat itself every 9 years. How the cyclical process will unfold when you go back and look where you were almost a decade ago.
6. Start the practice of talking to yourself! (Just be careful in the car while driving for people tend to think you are bonkers when you are having a conversation with yourself!)
Start the practice of having a regular dialogue internally with your Higher Self. For the next 30 or more days, decide to keep in contact with your higher self and with your Spiritual Guide throughout the day. Say to your Higher Self, "I know you are there and I want to get to know you and pay attention to you. Please begin to speak to me and help me to guide my life" Don't worry if this dialogue is entirely one-way to begin with. It takes a while to clear your thoughts of the day and to enter into a relationship with your inner voice. Persist with this inner dialogue as if talking to a friend, asking questions, sharing your hopes - and begin to listen for answers. They will come.
7. Your Life Path
Look upon life as your personal play that you have written, directed, acted in and performed. Believe the whole of your life - events, situations and people - has been structured precisely in order to teach you exactly what you need to know right now. Approach life as if the whole of creation is conspiring to do you good! Whenever something happens in your life, for good or ill, ask yourself what the lesson is for you. Even unpleasant people/situations have been deliberately placed there as a challenge to help you grow. As you begin to view life as a drama in which you play the starring role, the role of the Higher Self will become increasingly evident in your life. Record your findings in your journal.
8. Heed your dreams
Begin to enter your dreams each morning in your journal. Your Higher Self will speak to you in dreams. This is usually the first avenue of communication with your Higher self. Before retiring at night, meditate to relax your body completely. Begin to ask your Higher Self questions and expect an answer. When you wake up, recall whatever you can of your dream and write it down in your journal. If you are not used to remembering dreams, this will take time and persistence. However, with patience, you will begin to recall your dreams and receive answers from your Higher Self.
9. Be Mindful
Be mindful and focus upon living more and more in the present, in the moment. When you are eating, be aware what you are eating and taste each morsel. When you walk, know that you are walking and where you place your feet. The only real moment you have is right now; the past is past and the future is yet to be. Therefore, work to clear your mind of concerns of the day. Clear the mental clutter from your mind and create space for your Higher Self to fill.
10. Have Patience
Remember, you may have spent a great deal of your life out of touch with the Source. Therefore, it takes time to learn how to re-establish contact. Remember that anything worth doing takes time, practice and practice. Be vigilant and practice journaling and listening to your inner voice every day and you will receive the answers you need. Remember: The Higher Self wants to be in contact because your Higher Self is you! The real you that knows all the lifetimes you have spent and all the lessons you have learned. So get in touch with YOU!
Blessings of Enlightenment and Joy to you all
