A full relationship with your Higher Self is only possible when you give yourself time to receive from the deepest sources of your being.
Dear One,
One of the most powerful and important relationships you have in this life is with your Higher Self. This is the part of you which is in full communion with God because it is the voice of your Soul. Guidance and intuitive insight come from this place. There are a number of ways you can develop and strengthen this relationship between your personality awareness and your Higher Self, and all of them require patience, persistence and practice.
One way is to learn to act on your intuition. How many times have you thought about doing something, ignored the thought, and then a situation arose when you said, “I knew I should have done that?” The more you listen to your inner voice and act on your intuition, the stronger this connection will become.
Another way to strengthen your connection to your Higher Self is through meditation. Meditation is a way of expanding your conscious awareness of states beyond your physical body. The physical world is the grossest level of manifestation and there are many planes of consciousness beyond it.
Meditation is the key to reaching a deeper level of being, that still place within your heart where you are one with God.
Meditation is not difficult, but it does require practice and persistence to attain a calm and focused mind. It may be frustrating at first, because the mind never seems to stop. Emotions and thoughts come up that clamor for attention. This is just the way thoughts work, so be patient with yourself and gently refocus your mind on your breath as the object of your attention. It may be helpful to take the time to write out your feelings and thoughts before you meditate so that you can clear your mind more easily. Whatever you do to calm and clear yourself will be very helpful.
Practice
Sit quietly, breathe balanced breaths, breathing in for the same number of counts that you breathe out.
As you begin to feel more peaceful and centered, imagine a beautiful golden, healing light flowing around and through you. There is incredible love within you, waiting only for your conscious permission to flood your entire being.
Focus your attention on receiving the love of God. You can ask your Higher Self to facilitate this connection. As you do, you will create a solid, conscious connection. Imagine that Divine Love is flowing through you in the flow of warm golden light. Allow yourself to bask in this love and let it permeate every cell of your being.
Create a beautiful place in your mind where you can go to sit in the silence that exists within you. Call on your angelic teachers for guidance and they will assist you in this process. The Angels are messengers of God, here to help you find peace, love and joy in your life. They can also assist your meditation process so you will find the love you need within yourself. Imagine the Angels surrounding you in wings of pure light. You are profoundly loved. Believe that you deserve to receive all that is good.
When you take a little time every day to make your spiritual connection to God stronger, you will be amazed how your life will change. You will find guidance and wisdom available to you in a greater way than you ever imagined was possible.
It takes only the willingness to give yourself time to breathe, focus and receive God’s love. Remember:
A full relationship with your Higher Self is only possible when you give yourself time to receive from the deepest sources of your being.
