How Do You Tap Into Your Highest Self?

When you feel stressed, full of concern and anxiety, or disconnected from yourself or others, a helpful strategy can be to elevate yourself into a better feeling place. 

A simple way to do this is by recalling times when you felt grounded within yourself whilst buzzing with energy. In this exercise, you’ll create a ready reckoner of call upon when you need a boost into a higher feeling place.

1. Have a think about times you felt connected to your highest self. For example, maybe you felt you were listening to a song, holding the hand of a new love, stargazing on a moonless night, gazing into a baby’s eyes, or also witnessing a sunrise. 
2. Jot those times down somewhere handy – such as in the Notes app in your phone.
3. To connect in with an experience from your list,  simply close your eyes and bring it to mind. Try to recall as many details as possible so you can bring back those awe-inspired feelings. You may wish to ask yourself questions such as: Where was I? What was I doing? What did I see, hear, feel, and smell? Who was I with? 
4. As you remember and re-live that experience of awe, wonder and connection, notice what’s happening in your body and any shifting sensations. Do you feel a shift in your emotions, maybe more capacity to face the things that are concerning you?

Learning how to tap into your higher self is a skill that will help you immensely on this journey through life. It’s a system reset and with practice it helps you build up resilience and capacity to respond to life’s stimuli from a higher place.
