Cultivating a connection with your higher self and Spirit is fairly straightforward. First, learn the difference between your ego’s voice (fear) and the voice of your higher self and Spirit (love). I’ve written another entry that explains how to do that. As your discernment develops, you’ll be able to handle your thoughts appropriately and the voice of your higher self will grow progressively stronger and become the prevalent voice in your mind; you’ll be surprised how quickly that shift occurs and how much more peace and joy you experience as a result. Incorporating love and care for your ego is a big factor in how smoothly and quickly this process goes. When the ego is getting its needs genuinely met for the first time ever, it won’t have a reason to fight this shift.
Second, start a conversation with your higher self and Spirit and keep it going. Ask for what you need. Ask for help seeing the opportunities that are in alignment with your highest good and purpose. Ask for help with anything and everything. When you’re receptive to guidance, you’ll be given that in abundance. You’ll probably become aware of how often you were receiving guidance in the past that you didn’t recognize. The more engaged you are in that conversation and acting on the guidance you receive, the more easily life will flow.
