What Is Your Higher Self & How To Connect | Your Total Higher Self Guide
What is your higher self?
I personally see my higher self like a guide I have access to. She is an infinite resource in my life, and she helps to guide me and helps me to make decisions. She is a powerful creator, and I lean on her for spiritual guidance all of the time. I like to think of connecting with our higher selves like tuning into a hotline of Universal guidance that always picks up when we call – we just have to learn how to (and remember!) pick up the phone.
Your higher self is an element of your consciousness that shines through the filter of your personality, past, beliefs, and viewpoints of the world. It is the part of you that is deeply connected, spiritually, and when you connect with it, you are also tapping in deeply with the infinite consciousness available around you, too.
In other words, get your higher self on deck. Because it is an incredibly powerful and potent connection to have.
What is spiritual alignment, and how do I know if I’m in alignment at all?
Spiritual alignment is basically this: am I happy with the way my life is going right now, am I in alignment with what fulfills and connects me to Source/the Universe, and if not, what am I going to do about it? Learning how to connect with your higher self is ultimately about leveraging one of the best spiritual tools you have access to – and using it.
If you feel like parts of your life aren’t in alignment, open up your journal and list out everything you want to change or that you’re unhappy with. Use it as an opportunity to get really real with yourself on what your standards are, what you’re settling for, and what you’ve very possibly outgrown completely that’s resurfacing in your life.
Living in trauma/limiting beliefs vs. your higher self embodiment
One key element of working with your higher self is embodiment. In other words, what version of you are you living as? The version of you carrying around past limiting beliefs and experiences, or the version of you that is upgraded, and who embodies their higher self?
It’s like a gradient – and it’s helpful for us to check in with ourselves on how much we allow ourselves to truly bask in, and embody, this light that already lives within us. The higher self light.
How do I connect with my higher self?
There are many ways you can connect with your higher self. Prayer, meditation, and journaling are three incredible tools for connecting with your higher self. (Plus, at the bottom of this post, download my free Higher Self Journal for my higher self journaling prompts!).
Find the tools that work for you, and allow yourself to be in the constant contact and communication with your higher self.
A 5-Minute Meditation
Get comfortable, sit crossed legged or in a comfy meditation pose, and close your eyes.
Begin by visualizing the diamond light of your higher self ascending down from your crown chakra into your third eye. In your third eye space, watch this diamond expand so that your entire body fits inside.
As this diamond light spins and encapsulates around you, allow yourself to receive and feel the presence of your higher self’s diamond light within you, through you, and as an extension of your own consciousness coming back into your physical form.
Allow this light to restore any and all distortion, old patterns, clear fear, and bring you back into centre. Allow any messages from your higher self to come through.
When you are ready, open your eyes.
Optional: take a few more minutes to write down the messages your received from your higher self in meditation.
