Topic: Connecting to Higher Self....you're experiences?
Just thought i'd throw this out there. I think many of us try to connect with higher self in order to gain a better understanding of our life/lives' destiny and to seek guidance along the way. I've recently started taking the advice of the Huna's belief that in order to access higher self. I got this from drunvalo melchidezek's Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life, Volume 2.
There's a story where a Huna shaman ends up at one of drunvalo's workshops, neither of them (the huna or drunvalo) completely sure why this man is there. Drunvalo asks him what he does. The man tells him that he teaches how to connect to higher self. Coincidentally, drunvalo was at time when this was heavy in his mind and he let the man speak in his workshop.
He says that in order to reach higher self, you need to connect to lower self. Lower self is mother Earth, a child in many ways; honest, playful, but also very caring and nuturing. According to Huna belief, lower self gives you approval to connect with higher self. I've always felt myself to be a very ecological person in the physical world, and then trying to attune myself with Earth's energies before trying to reach the higher realm.
The following may be biased according to the information i read, but
I went into meditation and this is what i saw
a girl of olive skin, straw dress and adorning a lei. She actually kinda looked my cousin's neice (i'm filipino). We were in a field of tall green grass and spoke without words for quite a few minutes. It felt like any sort of grounding exercise that i've done before, except a little girl was there. She ran off and i followed, both of us laughing, towards the edge of a cliff where above me were planets and stars and moons. She had gone, but when i looked behind me was Myself; dressed different, looked different, but similar in a sense.
I know i have connected with my higher self in the past, but it has been some time. I've recently just gotten out of rehab, and dealt with an addiction of methamphetamines and sedatives, and so far have been clean one year. But i remember connecting to higher self before then, asking for help. It was like a reunion. We held each other and we wept, and i felt a sense of understanding that he was there all along, but i just couldn't see him when i had reached rock bottom.
For now I use my higher self to help understand the grand scheme of things. I am currently in a time of my life where i am very busy with my career and school, and I pray through the grace of God, that my higher self gives me insight. With this help, i've been able to live strong, detox off my depression meds, be free from stress, and be not afraid of school, work, or the usual worries that plagued me for so long.
Most importantly, I'm free of the fear that the future holds.
