10 Tips to Contact Higher Self

People ask how to contact their higher Self. Some call this spirit guide or divine connection. Here are 10 tips: 

1. Belief & Trust

It is imperative to BELIEVE that you have a Higher Self to tune in! Then TRUST and KNOW that this communication is strengthening as you focus diligently on inner growth. Without belief and trust, it is hard to align with your vision, even on the physical level. For inner growth, these two points are key. So set a GOAL to contact the Higher Self, review your intention, and maintain your purpose with determination for success.

2. Transform Your World View

We are brought up with a primarily materialistic world view that neglects the role of Spirit. To establish close contact with spiritual realms, we must focus our whole being – conscious and subconscious – congruent with our vision. 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.

3. Solitude

Make regular time for yourself in solitude. 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 give time and space for the inner voice to make itself heard. It will do so either during that quiet time, or else during the events of the day. A synchronistic event will occur; someone will tell you exactly what you need to hear; you will get a sudden flash of insight. Genius emerges in solitude as one tunes into silence. We can all tune into.

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. There are many practices that you can study and use.

5. 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.

6. Converse with Higher Self

Conduct a regular inner dialogue with your Higher Self. For the next month,  commune throughout the day. Say to your Higher Self, “I know you are here and I want to get to know you better. Please begin to speak to me and guide my life” Don’t worry if this dialogue is entirely one-way intiially. Remember that you have been out of touch for ages. It takes a while to get into the flow 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.

7. Life Lessons

Know that all life events, situations and encounters arise to teach you exactly what woil 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. Dreams

Be open and intend that your Higher Self to chats with you during dreams. Before going to sleep, do some stretching and bending to relax your body. Ask your Higher Self a question and expect (prepare for0 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. 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.

10. Patience

Remember, you may have spent your entire life out of touch with Source. Therefore, it takes time to learn how to re- establish contact. Anything worth doing takes time and practice. Be vigilant and practise these steps every day and you will receive the answers you need. Remember: The Higher Self WANTS to be in contact. In fact, to even speak of it as someone apart from you is contradictory. The Higher Self IS you! The real you. So get in touch with YOU!

Manage emotions differently

Notice when we acknowledge emotions and feel them in this moment, rather than resist, we do not trap this energy within ourselves. Instead, we clearly tune into vibrations of Higher Being from within the heart. Thus, denser energies no longer need to reside within us. We can integrate and/or let them go layer by layer or in whatever way resonates. As energies surface, we can embrace the wisdom they hold. Higher Self observes everything without judgment, resists nothing, feels no negativity. Negative emotion is a byproduct of a limited perspective not vibrating in alignment with Higher Being. We each have capacity to live in harmony with Spirit, the most expanded version of Self. Live mindfully in a permanent state of awareness. Image what unlimited freedom feels like. Be. Embody it. Let it in.

Activate the innate Rainbow Bridge

Notice we each activate the rainbow bridge between self and Source/ Higher Self. Opportunities exist to let go of illusions of separation, to unblock innate, far-reaching cosmic connections and energy streams. We bridge individual and collective consciousness, self and other, shift from who we think we are into who we truly are.

As worldbridgers, we come to align in this present moment, to hold a unified vision of harmony, between humans and things seen and unseen. Vibrational shifts activate dormant systems. Tuning into the Soul mantra alters how we receive and integrate energy upgrades. The physical body comes to hold more light, and accelerate change. Innate abilities like shapeshifting and the unthinkable come online.

The ultimate point of existence reveals itself vibrationally with perfect timing. Wavelengths of light speak a timeless language. As we move beyond self created limits, beyond all we experience with the five senses, the power of focus changes our interaction with and understanding of life force energy. We can transform, transmute anything based on how we respond. One is limitless, omnipresent, the one and only I AM. One recalls and embodies nature of undying.

The power of self-inquiry

Many people wonder which impulses to follow. How do you know when to trust yourself? and when your impulse is leading you astray?

Unless you are already enlightened, that is, you always feel in harmony and manifest instantly, then not all of your impulses are going to come from your higher self-intuitive guidance system.  Some of your feeling-based impulses are going to come from your lower level blockages; your fears, limiting beliefs, emotional wounds, baggage and karmic patterns. As such, humility is a reliable guide.

So, if everything in your life is not in perfect harmony, disharmony is not going to shift unless you are willing to do a bit of self-inquiry. Breathing more consciously is a good start, but you benefit greatly from going further.

As it is, the universe is designed to project and help you work through your emotional blockages as quickly as possible, mainly to create the exact situations that dig up what is holding you back so you face it.  Making blockages conscious with honesty and humility and appreciating the service they perform (blockages are initially designed to self-protect, and always offer valuable lessons), gives the energetic blockage has permission to dissolve.

If in a particular moment, you choose not to face yourself, the universe patiently keeps creating new situations that offer the same opportunity to face your shadow (the unacknowledged and disowned parts of yourself) until yo uare ready to look deeply into yourself and feel what you have not been wiling to feel. This is to be done with unconditional love and compassion. 

As Carl Jung echos: "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."

Whatever arises in your life, as yourself if you are being guides by higher self or the lower emotions of fear. Ask to be shown what you cannot yet see.  Be receptive to lessons you have not yet recognized and integrated.

Get out of your mind

The physical mind thinks its in charge and thinks it is supposed to know how everything is supposed to happen.  In truth, the physical mind can only view how things happened (past tense).  It cannot know the how before the process unfolds.  Do yourself a favor.  Stop focusing on how you can make things come about. This is not something physical mind exists to do.  Be awake.  Allow the third eye to guide you. Expand into a wider perspective.

The knowledge of how something is occurring arises in the Higher Self.  It conceives dreams and see things from the highest possible vantage point.  This implies it recognizes connections and pathways the physical mind cannot. The physical brain receives.  The physical personality mind perceives.  Open the lines of communication between the physical mind and the Higher Self.  The third eye is one possible bridge.  It links you to you.

Trust your intuition fully.  Watch for synchronicity and revel in making connections.  Allow yourself to feel the joy that builds momentum.  Being out of your logical mind is highly desirable.  Only then can you see.  Know your intrinsic value.  You recalculate it every moment along with the energy flowing in this universe.
