As we move into the energies of the Sacral Chakra, we move into the dance of connection, of emotions and relating, of relationships.Out of all the relationships that shape us, the one that stands out as most significant, and which is often overlooked, is the one we have with our Higher Self! That is to say the overarching self which holds together the various aspects of who we commonly think of as our “self”, (our emotional, mental and physical bodies) which the Higher Self guides, supports and navigates this world through.
Check out this excerpt from our Root Chakra meditation (posted last month) regarding the essence of the connection with our Higher Self to get a feel for the way this fundamental relationship impacts our sense of self. "…
floating above in love and light … Coming in … adjusting … disorientation … embrace … ahhh mother earth …. Move deeper into the atmosphere and into the body of your great mother, Gaia …. Notice your experience … this connection may feel tenuous or strong, soft or hard, chaotic or soothing … feel into your experience … Moving deeper in … now enclosed in a new sensation, feeling what it’s like to be within your own skin … in your new home … becoming a self in a new form … feel into these layers of the self - the expansive light being self who is free and easy … and this human self - a small being within a mother, within a family and a home, here on this beautiful blue planet … spend some time here feeling this connection take root and grow … how the essence embraces the baby self, loves the baby self, whispers sweet nothings in the baby’s heart center … I am Love … I am safe … I am here … it’s safe to be here … it’s safe to be me … I am a free dancing spirit … I love All That Is … The baby self grows and develops in the love of it’s own free spirit!"As you feel into the connection with the Higher Self as described above, imagine the warm support of a life lived with this nurturing essence versus without.
We have the choice to see and know that we are held in the loving embrace of the Higher Self, leaning on this wise essence for support and guidance, trusting the inner knowing and it’s prompting deep within. Once we recognize that we have a choice to live from a sense of isolation and separation, or through a sense of connection and love, it’s not a difficult choice to make.The only difficulty that presents itself typically is fear! How do I connect with my Higher Self? How do I listen to this inner voice? What if I’m not able to do so?
Please recognize that this fear is a byproduct of a life lived thus far in the illusion of isolation. However, we are never really separate from our Higher Self! Although when we are unaware of this presence, and haven’t practiced communing with our own Divine essence, it may be daunting, but it needn’t be.
Communicating with your Higher Self - Communication is developed most succinctly through meditation. If you don't have a daily meditation practice, it’s never too late to start! If you already have a meditation practice, simply begin bringing questions to your meditation sessions, and be open to receive answers. The usual ways you receive answers in meditation are the same with the Higher Self - symbols, images, a word, an inner knowing, a felt sense. While meditation is the formal communication mode with the Higher Self, once you’re paying attention, you’ll find that your Higher Self is in communication with you in all sorts of ways at all hours of the day and night … through coincidences, a sudden flash of insight, dreams, intuition and inner knowing. The more you nurture this relationship, the deeper it grows and the more you will grow to rely on it.As we grow in relationship with our Higher Self, we leave behind the fears that once haunted our perspective regarding ourself and our place in the world. We find instead that we are
beings of love, and that this essence of love is our truest nature. Our Higher Self possesses infinite patience in the ability to provide us with the unconditional love we need to grow and fulfill our destiny.
Much Love & Many Blessings on your Journey of growing in relationship with your Higher Self!
