So... you're searching for something and you don't know what it is. You just know that something's missing from your life.
You may be feeling...
-boredom
-stagnation
-dissatisfaction
-stifled
-blocked
-frustrated
-lackluster
-uninspired
You may think something vitally important is missing and you don’t quite know what it is. You may be thinking that there has to be more to life. And there is…and you can find it more easily than you think, if you are willing to look and to set aside just a little bit of time every day to look.
If a ship's captain changes course by just one degree, the results won't be obvious in a day, or possibly even in a week. At the end of the journey, the ship will end up in an entirely different destination. If you change your course by just one degree, where will you end up?
The Higher Self, Soul, Human Spirit, Observer or witness within us far transcends the understanding of our conscious minds. Each of us is connected with the Divine. This is the power that all the great geniuses and teachers of history have accessed. It is also the place of magic and miracle in our lives. If you think about it, the universe displays an awesome and remarkable precision and intelligence. If the sun were just 1/10th of a percent closer or farther from the earth, life as we know it would die out. Certain numbers show up everywhere in Nature, like Phi (1.618) – which shows up in the ratio of the diameter of a nautilus’ spiral to the one next to it, to ratio of the diameter of the rotation of a sunflower, and several proportions in the human body such as the ratio of the distance from your head to the floor divided by the distance from your belly button to the floor (or your shoulder to your fingertips divided by your elbow to fingertips, or hip to toes divided by knee to toes), and the ratio of female to male bees in any population of honey bees. Whether you call this God, or divine intelligence, Great Spirit, evolution or nothing at all, it exists and we exist within it. Our Higher Self can be defined as that part of us that is in direct contact and communication with Divine Intelligence. If we were not in contact with this we would not be alive.
Here are seven key steps to contact this magical intelligence
1. Belief & Expectation: Transform Your World View!
So the first step is to BELIEVE...HAVE FAITH that you have a Higher Self to establish communication with! Then EXPECT AND HAVE GRATITUDE that every day that this communication will improve as you focus diligently on inner growth. Without these two essential prerequisites, it is hard to achieve anything at all in life, even on the physical level. For inner growth, these two qualities are essential. So set a GOAL to achieve contact with the Higher Self, review that goal daily, and maintain your purpose with determination until success is yours.
We are brought up with a primarily materialistic world view that neglects the role of Spirit. To establish close contact with spiritual realms, we need to have our entire being - conscious and subconscious - congruent with our goal. In any major activity/goal, you have to establish the rules of the game and the way it is played. Contacting your Higher Self is the same. Therefore, seek out writings and teachers that expand your understanding of the universe as fundamentally being a realm of Consciousness and Mind.
2. Solitude & Meditation
Make regular time for yourself where you can be totally alone. A quiet place is preferable. Just sit quietly with no expectations. DO NOTHING. This may feel very uncomfortable and strange in the beginning. Persist. You must give time and space for the inner voice to make itself heard. It will do so either during that quiet time, during the events of the day, or both. A synchronistic 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.
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. There are many practices that you can study and use.
3. Journal
Record your feelings, emotions, dreams and insights every day in a journal. This will help you to come into closer contact with your inner intuitive depths. You can ask the Higher Self questions here, 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.
4. Inner Dialogue
Conduct a regular inner dialogue with your Higher Self. For the next (21) days, decide to keep in contact 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 guide my life" Don't worry if this dialogue is entirely one-way to begin with. Remember that you have been out of touch for decades. It takes a while to clear the cobwebs! Persist with this inner dialogue as if talking to a friend - chatting, asking questions, sharing your hopes - and begin to listen for answers. They will come.
5. Life Lessons
Look upon life as a Mystery School. Believe that 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 are play the starring role, the role of the Higher Self will become increasingly evident in your life. Record your findings in your journal.
6. Dreams
Expect your Higher Self to speak to you in dreams. Before going to sleep, do some stretching and bending to relax your body completely. Ask your Higher Self a question and expect an answer. When you wake up, recall whatever you can of your dreams 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.
7. Mindfulness
Focus upon living more and more in the present, on the NOW. When you are eating, be aware that you are eating. When you walk, know that you are walking. The only real moment is now - the past is gone forever and the future has yet to be. Therefore, work to clear your mind of concerns, illusions and extrapolations. Clear the mental clutter from the mind and create space for the Higher Self to fill.
