Higher Self Meditation Everyone has a higher self.
Our higher self is the part of us that is deeply loving,
Wise,
And wide awake,
And can guide us back to healing and wholeness.
In this meditation,
We will take a pilgrimage to our higher self.
Take a few moments to get comfortable,
Whether in a sitting posture or resting on your back.
Feel the support of the earth holding your body here.
Allow the muscles of your body to gently soften.
Start to ungrip through the muscles around your eyes and between your eyebrows.
Unhinge through the jaw.
Allow your neck and throat space to soften.
As you melt through your limbs,
Allow this relaxation to flow into your whole torso.
Feel your whole body deeply resting.
As you gently breathe through your nose,
Allow your breathing to become effortless,
Slow,
And calm.
You have traveled many thousands of miles and for decades facing immense obstacles on this amazing pilgrimage of your life to get to this place right here,
Right now,
And to finally arrive at the doorway to your higher self,
The Guru within.
There is a specific location within your body where you can most easily connect with your higher self.
This location is in your heart.
Within your heart,
There is an amazing little spot called the sinoatrial node that sets the pace of your heartbeat.
It is also here that your higher self is seated,
Wide awake,
Serenely waiting for you to arrive.
It is also here that your higher self is seated,
Wide awake,
Serenely waiting for you to arrive.
Gently bring your sensing attention into your heart and into the sinoatrial node.
The sinoatrial node is on the right side of the heart,
Which is approximately in the center of your chest,
About a half inch to the right of center to be more exact.
It is a place of profound aliveness.
It is where your heartbeat starts.
Don't worry if you aren't sure that you are sensing into the exact location.
Just being close to the sacred space is sufficient.
Now,
While continuing to sense this general space,
Imagine in your mind's eye a sacred temple within the area where you are sensing.
Imagine that you are walking into this temple.
As you enter into the temple,
You see and feel before you a wise and loving figure.
You can create the form for this extraordinary being in your visualization or simply feel the qualities emanating from your higher self through your heart's space.
Initially though,
It can help to create a form or image to give both your mind a focal point and your higher self a channel through which it can communicate more clearly to you.
Imagine your higher self to look like the ideal image for you of the perfect teacher,
Parent,
Friend combined into one being.
This figure can be seated on a throne or perhaps seated on the floor in a cross-legged position,
Whatever feels right to you.
While doing this visualization,
Be sure to continue sensing into the vicinity of your sinoatrial node.
As you respectfully approach your higher self,
Express gratitude and sincere appreciation for this being who has been quietly guiding you from the superconscious realms and looking after you your whole life.
Your higher self deeply loves you and understands everything about you and knows what you need in order to heal and evolve.
You can think of this part of you as a wise teacher,
A loving parent,
And a true friend.
This is the lover that Rumi devoted so much of his poetry to.
Your higher self is a loving,
Non-judgmental part of you and can help you with anything that you are going through.
What is the most pressing need at this moment in your life that you could communicate with your higher self about?
Communicate with your higher self and receive guidance.
Perhaps you are not yet feeling a connection with your higher self at this moment.
This may be because of a lack of focus,
Tension in the chest,
Or maybe you are not yet sensitive enough to feel the extraordinary being who exists at a much higher vibrational frequency than the physical.
However,
Your higher self perceives you and appreciates your efforts to connect with it.
Maybe you are feeling some connection,
But you are not sure if you are connecting with your higher self or if it's just your imagination at work.
Initially,
It is probably both.
As you quiet your mind more and more,
Awaken sensitivity,
And have a deep wish for understanding,
The clearer your connection will be with your higher self and your doubts will gradually vanish.
When your higher self communicates with you,
There is a feeling of relief and understanding that will arise in your being.
You may receive words or a profound silence from your higher self.
There will definitely be deep feelings when you connect to this part of yourself.
Whether you are conscious of your higher self or not,
Trust that your higher self wants to hear about your soul's desire and help you to attain it.
If you are not sure what your soul's desire is,
Your higher self wants to help you figure that out.
The stronger and deeper your desire for connection and understanding,
The more your higher self will respond to you.
Take the next few moments deepening your connection with this amazing part of yourself and receive any guidance that your higher self has to offer while continuing to sense your sinoatrial node.
As you take these next few precious moments with your higher self before ending your communion,
Notice what last things need to be said,
Heard,
Or felt.
Knowing that you can connect with your higher self anytime you need,
Trust that your true intuition,
The source of love and understanding,
Is always here and now.
And that you can return to it with this simple meditation.
Gently sense through your whole body here and become aware of your environment in your mind's eye imagine where you are situated.
And when you feel ready,
You can open your eyes.
From my heart to yours,
Thank you for joining me and taking the time to connect with your higher self.
