Our mind operates in different layers of awareness – from highest to lowest. We often traverse these layers unconsciously based on our source of engagement.
The layer of mind while working on a software is different than the layer while having a pleasant walk in the nature. Complexity pulls you in lower vibrations. Simplicity is the nature of higher vibrations.
Higher vibrations are conducive for creativity, intuition and a sense of fulfilment. That energizes us to do something more inspirational.
As you surpass the human realm of comparison and competition, you start interacting with your higher self.
We might have experienced this higher self in one or the other occasions. Yet the challenge is to remain in touch with it, throughout our lives.
Life often puts us into difficult situations where we lose sight of it and get entangled into the intricacies. Days, months and years pass by and we don’t even realize our disconnection from it. We continue to live our life on the same plane of awareness, circling around the same patterns without being aware of it.
If only we are in constanttouch with our higher self, we can reap immense benefits. Let’s look at them first.
Benefits of interacting with higher self
Before you learn to interact with your higher self, let’s look at a few reasons to do so:
1. Gaining a bird-eye view
In our busy lives, it often gets difficult to look at all aspects of life from a neutral perspective. When we are vibrating at a lower frequency, we can think of only one area at a time.
Approaching others for advice might work up to a certain extent but it’s not a permanent solution nor 100% accurate. The only one who can give you the most suitable advice is your higher self.
Through a bird-eye view, you can give different aspects of life, like your family, work, friends, liabilities, plans, etc., the weightage they deserve according to you. Then you act accordingly to bring about a positive change in them.
2. Emancipation from a difficult situation
When life puts you on a difficult situation, like meeting a tight dead-line of the project, you need to find ways to avoid wasting time on things that are unclear and unproductive.
In such scenario, your higher self can come as a rescue. It might show you the futility of 20 steps where only one was needed.
Instead of wasting all your time to resolve the issue at a lower plane, you can devote some time to connect with your higher self and then work. As someone rightly said, “if I am given 6 hours to cut a tree, I would spend 4 hours to sharpen my axe”.
3. Unlimited growth
Growth doesn’t have a limit on the path of unleashing your higher self. In the process of interaction, your higher self today will become your lower self tomorrow. And a new higher self will emerge from thereon.
Likewise, it is an endless path. You don’t have to wait to get on it until you have surpassed your peers and reached the top of your circle. You can start this divine interaction right from where you are on the day one.
This allows you freedom from inferior human traits like jealousy, rivalry and animosity. These are nothing but obstructions on your path and the sooner you wash them away, the better it is.
How to connect with your higher self
Everyone has a unique way to connect with their higher self. Yet, for the ones who are looking for cues to get started, here are three ways you can do so:
1. Intermittent pauses from work
This is a very useful habit if you can cultivate at work. Once you are done with a long conversation, meeting, an online course, or reading an article, don’t just jump onto the next action.
Take a pause, close your eyes and concentrate on your higher self. This way you can upload all the content to your higher self. This practice is immensely helpful as your higher self will timely send you back useful information when your lower self is busy in actions.
2. Using Arts
You need to associate certain kinds of arts with your higher self. The deeper the art, the better it is. Listening to high vibrational instrumental music can help you ascend. Likewise, abstract arts also emanate high vibrations. You can put them as your wall-paper on pc or physically.
You can either take a pause from work and listen to that music which help you connect to your higher self, or you can keep it playing in the background while you work. Either way, you get connected.
3. Reading scriptures
This is the most intense form of connection you can develop. Reading scriptures before sleep or on your free time can help you reflect on the deepest revelations of the divine beings. The act of analysing and reflecting on such wordscreate an opening in your heart for the timeless wisdom to enter.
Don’t skim read. Just read two or three lines and pause to reflect. Our minds have to sink into those depths to be able to finally understand the subtle messages behind those words.
Wrapping Up
Keeping vibrations higher is not just yours but the planet’s need too. Most of the harm we do to ourselves as well as the planetare because of our unwise choices in the lower vibrations.
Higher vibrations align you automatically with your surrounding people, nature and all the areas of life. It is not just a simple happiness mantra but based on a much deeper science.
Discussing that science is beyond the scope of this blog. Reach out to me if you want more information on this topic.
