Once we have raised our vibration and our ability to receive, we are now ready to become One with our Higher Self.

The advantages of doing this are great, for in this state we can begin to receive information directly.

Being Your Higher Self

1. Sit with your eyes open or closed. Adjust your posture so that you are comfortable, perhaps putting your hands at your sides. Begin by taking a few deep breaths.


2. Imagine your entire body relaxing, starting with your toes. Bring a feeling of relaxation into your feet, calves and thighs, then up into abdomen and lower back, chest, upper back, and shoulders. Next relax your arms, hands, neck, head, and face. Let the muscles around your jaws and eyes relax. Do this until you feel peaceful, focused and physically comfortable.


3. Adjust your posture so that your energy can flow more easily up and down your spine. Breathe a full breath into just your upper chest, moving your lower diaphragm and abdomen as little as possible. Breathe into your upper chest several times; notice how you feel. Now breathe into your abdomen several times, following this with several breaths into both upper chest and abdomen.


4. Straighten and lift your upper chest with a deep breath, so your spine is more upright. Notice that as you do this you may also want to adjust the back of your head and neck to the most comfortable upright posture. This helps create fluidity in your emotional body, open your heart center, and make it easier to think in higher ways.


5. You are now ready to meet your higher Self. Imagine that you are being joined by many high beings who are sitting in a circle around you. Feel the peace, joy, and love all around you. These beings are here to assist you in meeting your Higher Self.


6. Imagine your Higher Self in the distance, beginning to come toward you. You might picture it as a being or just a beautiful, shimmering, radiant light. Greet and welcome your higher Self and invite It to come closer. Mentally ask your Higher Self to assist you in making a stronger connection. Feel the radiance of Its love surrounding you and embracing you. Feel the lines of light coming to you from your Higher Self. As these lines of light touch you, feel your vibration increase. Your Higher Self is now merging and becoming One with you. Feel your molecules and atoms merging with It, as if you are reclaiming a part of your energy. Let your Higher Self merge with you even more until all your energy patterns are taking on the radiance of your Higher Self. You and your Higher Self are now One.


7. As your Higher Self, open your breathing to create a greater flow of energy in your body. Adjust your position so that you are sitting as your Higher Self. As your Higher Self, adjust your shoulders and chest to reflect your confidence and wisdom. What facial expression do you have as your Higher Self?


8. Think of a situation you want guidance about. As your Higher Self, you are going to give yourself advice about this situation. Imagine you are a wise teacher and consultant. What advice would you give yourself on this situation? You may want to speak out loud or write down your answers.


9. As your Higher Self, do you have any other messages, perhaps about your spiritual growth, your higher purpose, or anything else?


10. Thank your Higher Self for becoming one with you and sit as long as you like as your Higher Self.


Messages sent from our Higher Self to another person's Higher Self will bring results. Orin suggests that when we are "in" our Higher Self, we might think of someone we would like to communicate with.

Get quiet and imagine a fine gridwork of light around you, extending straight upward. Next, imagine a line of light going out from your heart to this person's. Mentally tell the person you love and accept him or her exactly as she or he is. Express any other messages of love you want to send.

Devoted practice can bring into our lives a clearer sense of direction, a greater feeling of being in control, a deeper understanding of why things are happening, and an increasing calm.

This actually sounds more like a ritual for meeting your guide.
The circle of "guards" or "watchers" exist on the spirit plane, and the divine plane.

Of course, I'm using terminology that is...well...out there. The higher self is actually encountered at a level before this.

Of course, in meditation, it is so often about mental constructs and the forming of them--not so much reality. (but don't let yourself get stuck on the spirit or divine plane, think higher.)

I think I might like to know what is higher.
