Your higher self is often described as your soul-self, your wise self, your soul consciousness or over-soul.<\/p>\n<p>Your higher self knows you and your path. It is your guide through life and willing to answer your specific questions. It never overrides your free will. Only you can take action, deciding to ignore your higher self\u2019s advice or listen to it.<\/p>\n<p>There is a simple meditation exercise that can connect you to your soul-self when you need an answer to a specific question.<\/p>\n<p>Sit quietly in a safe place.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Close your eyes and take a few slow, deep breaths.<\/li>\n<li>Once you are calm and ready, say, \u2018I now ask to be completely filled with the wisdom and energy of my higher self.\u2019<\/li>\n<li>Open up to receive, sensing openness or expansion.<\/li>\n<li>Once you feel different (e.g. lighter or larger), ask your question.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As soon as you ask the question, the answer will pop into your mind. Start with questions that require a \u2018yes\u2019 or \u2018no\u2019 answer when you begin using this process. Your ability to connect and receive answers becomes easier with practice. Your path through life can feel a lot lighter if you have the inner clarity to succeed with this exercise.<\/p>\n<p>If you find this process difficult, then you have some blocks in the way. Perhaps you are not clear and neutral when you ask your question. Maybe you favour one answer over the other. Perhaps you are fearful. If you find yourself in this situation, you might like to consider undertaking a regression with us to clear your way to connecting to your higher self.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most important things we do in life\u00a0is create a pathway that connects you to your higher self.
