Ways to Connect with Your Higher Self
by Scott Guerin and Nichole Bigley.
There are many ways you can connect with your higher self. The easiest way I have found is to get into a state of BE-ing and oneness, have a pure and clear intention, and make a request such as, “I ask to connect with and be in alignment with my higher self, to receive information and messages clearly and succinctly that are for my best and highest good.” (The phrase “best and highest good” is a filter that removes your ego from the situation and from the desire to control the outcome.) Then be open to how and what comes through.
A Detailed Practice to Get in Touch with Your Higher Self
If you want to practice and have a more detailed approach, you can do the following:
-
Get in a comfortable position.
-
Relax your shoulders, close your eyes, and take some deep breaths.
-
As you breathe in and out each time, contract and relax all the muscles in your body, getting into a deeper state of rest.
-
Once you’ve done this a few times, become aware of your breath, allowing it to flow in and out effortlessly.
-
Allow further relaxation and presence as you continue to breathe.
-
Begin to focus on your heart space and imagine a moment when you experienced unconditional love. Hold on to this feeling.
-
Ask your guides and angels to envelop you in love and light, bringing in healing and protective energy that surrounds you on all levels.
-
Feel that state of safety and protection.
-
Imagine a part of yourself is coming closer and closer toward your body and energetic space.
-
Continue to be as present as possible and use all of your awareness and senses—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual— to pick up sensations, messages, or information.
-
Ask to be given a signal of what it feels like when your higher self is present or communicating with you.
-
When you feel your higher self is present, you can begin to ask questions.
-
As the energy flows through you, do not doubt or judge what you receive.
-
Tune back in with your heart and feel what resonates.
-
When you feel like your time with your higher self is complete, imagine releasing it back to Source.
-
Come back to your body through your breath.
-
Place your hands wherever you feel led—your heart, forehead, stomach area, or elsewhere.
-
Thank your higher self and your spirit team for this amazing experience.
When To Do The Above Practice
The above can be a good intention to do before you go to sleep because you can continue to receive information while you sleep. But you can also do it at any time of the day. Having a regular routine and practice will get you in the energetic space to be quiet, present, and consciously aware of what the connection to your higher self and Source feels like to you.
- Call upon your higher self, your oversoul, to be present and come closer. Say, “I call in my higher self. I ask to connect with and be in alignment with you, to receive information and messages clearly and succinctly for my best and highest good.”
Nichole’s Higher Self Story
More often than not, when I connect with my higher self, it is subtle. I receive information and messages primarily in the form of thoughts. These “ideas” are like an inner voice and can be as simple as when to do something during the day, like reading a passage in a book at a specific time, or they can be deeper and feel more urgent.
If you’re wondering why this sounds like intuition, that’s because it is! When we are connected with our higher self, the direction and guidance we receive flow through us through our various senses, including our psychic/intuitive abilities. The way I can distinguish if it is mine is that it feels like my voice and like me. It isn’t ego, which questions what it is I am feeling, thinking, or doing. It just is.
I will never forget the first time I heard Spirit speak. It was a bright, sunny day. I was ten and was playing at the park near my home with a friend and my one-year-old sister. I remember feeling at peace and grateful for what a gorgeous day it was. All of a sudden, I heard a voice that was all around me boom, “Get out! Get out now!” It was nowhere and yet everywhere at once and rang with such urgency that it startled me.
Bewildered, I looked at my friend, who was pushing my sister on the swing. No one else was around. The park was completely empty. This feeling of dread washed over me. Because the feeling and the voice were so clear and urgent, I picked up my sister and headed toward the park exit.
Right then, a car pulled up and stopped at the park entrance. A woman was driving the car, and a man got out of the passenger seat. He headed toward us, blocking our exit. As he did, I instinctually placed my sister on my hip, as much out of his reach as possible. The man began to ask us questions: “What are your names?” “What color eyes does the baby have?” “How old is she?”
As he stepped closer to “get a good look,” my mom suddenly shouted from the house, “Girls! It is time to come home!” The man took one look at my mom, ran to the waiting car, and jumped in as the car sped away.
It wasn’t until I was older that my mom told me that she had received two visions of my sister crying and screaming and had an overwhelming urge to check on us. When she looked outside, she saw the man standing before us and immediately called out.
Over the years, I wondered if the voice was a guardian angel or even Archangel Michael protecting me. The voice wasn’t distinct, meaning it wasn’t high or low, female or male. Yet it sounded familiar.
I have since determined that it was all of it—God, Archangel Michael, my spirit team—but more importantly, it was my higher self, watching over and informing me that I had a choice to make at that moment. We are all one, and the Divine works with and through us in all ways.
