How to make a strong connection with your Higher Self

The Higher Self is a distinct aspect of ourselves, yet connected to our Soul. Learn more about it here.

Learning to make a strong connection to your Higher Self

If you wish to make a stronger connection to your Higher Self or Intuition, one of the first steps is to embrace your gifts.

Often during client readings, clients will receive information confirming a gift or ability but then say, “Nah…what I really want to do is (something else)!”.

This is the classic scenario of ‘gift envy’.  We have our own innate gifts, but other people’s gifts seem so much more desirable.

Sometimes it’s hard to learn to love ourselves.

This is because we need to learn more about: –

• knowing who we are
• loving ourselves
• accepting ourselves.

As many of us know, these tasks can sometimes be a truly complex part of the spiritual journey to accept, let alone master!

I wanted his totem animal, he wanted mine – an example of gift envy!

Often on the spiritual journey, our intuition or Higher Self is showing us all along what the next step on the path needs to be for our own highest good.

Yet, often we question our own intuition and turn to other choices of our own making.

I remember during my first shamanic workshop, a colleague and I were asked to ‘journey’ for each other.

Shamanic journeying is an altered state of mind encouraged by lying down, relaxing, covering the eyes, and listening to drumbeats.

Following this process, it is possible to experience a guided meditation, and in this case, we each brought back information for the other person on our journeys.

Our mission was to bring back a totem animal for the other person. A totem animal is an empowering and meaningful spiritual concept in Shamanic work.

White Wolf, Dolphin

My partner journeyed for me and came back with a white wolf, a totem animal that I have found significant and helpful on many occasions.

When I journeyed for him, I returned with a dolphin.

I love dolphins and had secretly hoped that the dolphin would have been my totem animal!

Guess what…he was discouraged because he wanted a wolf or a bear, and said that he already knew he’d get the dolphin, but didn’t want it!

Both of us were on another journey there, that of accepting our own nature and energy.

What our wishes and desires showed what we thought we wanted was not what we needed, once our Higher Selves got involved.

Begin to know yourself – connect more easily with your Higher Self

When deciding to grow your intuition, it’s helpful to get in touch with your strengths.

Here are some examples of what I mean: –

1. If you are a highly sensitive person, then your intuition will work well in tracking others’ emotional and physical states. This is because you are sensitive and aware of your emotions and physicality.
   
2. Do you favor visual methods of learning, such as charts and diagrams, and learn that way more easily?  Then one of your intuitive gifts may be clairvoyance or the gift of clear-seeing.
   
3. If you love being out in nature, camping, doing yard work, or hiking, then you are naturally tuning in to the energy of nature and Gaia. This may mean that shamanic journeying will really appeal to you.
   
4. If you remember things by saying them, or often talk to yourself, then you may be naturally Clairaudient or clear-hearing.
   
5. Do you have thoughts and inspirations that just pop into your mind?  You may be Claircognizant or clear-thinking.

When we learn to know ourselves better, we begin to love and accept ourselves

As we learn more about our strengths and become more connected with our intuition, we learn to accept ourselves, rather than wishing we were like someone else.

As an example, I have always been sensitive to locations.

In particular houses, I can often feel energetic imprints. Sometimes, there are presences such as Earthbound Souls.

As a traveling training professional at the time, I had to stay in a lot of hotels.  I often had trouble sleeping and feeling comfortable in hotel rooms.

Now that I have learned to embrace my mediumship gifts, I understand the reasons why I was experiencing discomfort.

I was often was being bugged by uninvited spirit visitors! 

Hotels can be very active spiritually speaking, especially ones that have seen a lot of history.

I have spent some time learning to manage my intuitive gifts as a medium. I can choose to allow spirit communication – or not.

Until I opened to that realization, however,  I was unaware of the interactions and found myself unable to sleep. 

Sometimes I would experience weird dreams or physical sensations.

Opening to your Higher Self with the Akashic Records

Last, and by no means least, one of the biggest openings to intuition for myself on the journey is my continuing connection with the Akashic Records.

Hence, as it has been oft called, the record is God’s book of remembrance, and each entity, each soul – as the activities of a single day of an entity in the material world – either makes same good or bad or indifferent, depending upon the entity’s application of self towards that which is the ideal manner for the use of time, opportunity and the Expression of that for which each soul enters  material manifestation. 

Edgar Cayce, famous US intuitive and Akashic Records Reader

Edgar Cayce learned to accept his own nature through giving over 14,000 healing readings to others.

In my opinion, he was a highly sensitive person who could help others by embracing his gifts.

He was able to put himself into a light trance and read the Akashic Records diagnostically for clients’ health.

His readings and recommendations are still in use by physicians today.

Intuition, the Higher Self, and the Akashic Records

One of my first Akashic teachers told me that working within the Akashic Records regularly increases intuitive abilities, and after several years of the work, I agree.

What I’ve learned is that the Higher Self is like an intermediary between us, our human consciousness, and our Soul.

Learning to connect with your Higher Self will enable you to expand your vibration over time and even open your intuition.

To start working with your Higher Self, a lot of clients find the Soul Star Reading an extremely helpful beginning.

It’s an Akashic Records Reading where you connect with the energies of your Soul and your Soul Group.

You also discover a past-life karmic pattern that is still attracting karma in present life, and you receive a clearing process too.
