In a recent Issue of Soul Inspirations, I talked about a powerful technique I learned while studying in England. My tutors taught me how to move away from feeling down and low during challenging times and to “think up” so I could get back on the path of clarity and purpose. If you’re feeling anything like me, then as we move through this particularly challenging time with Covid, it’s so important to deal with any fears and anxieties, and to start to get back on your path of purpose. So, what better time than right now!
Here’s an exercise to help you connect with your higher consciousness. You will even be able to ask questions for a little extra guidance. Let’s begin:
Sit in a comfortable chair. Close your eyes and relax. Now I want you to bring your awareness to the bottom of your feet. Let your breath assist you in transferring the relaxing energy up through the bottom of your feet. Slowly work your way up your calves, your thighs, your abdomen, your chest, your fingers, your hands, your arms, your shoulders, your neck, your face … right to the top of your head.
Now imagine that there’s a big funnel starting to form on top of your head, reaching out into the universe. Think of it as a vortex of energy reaching upward. Let your awareness constantly flow up and out of your head and into this funnel above you. All the information you want can be brought to you.
Now reach up with your mind, as if you’re floating and blending with this brilliant white light. Slowly merge yourself into this space as you continue to reach up and out of your body with your mind. Take a few moments with this energy and feel what it’s like to be calm and centered, to be one with your Higher Mind. Use this time of pure clarity to clense your mind.
It’s time now to ask a question. For example:
- What do I need to understand about an old issue or past challenge that’s surfacing during this pandemic and causing anxiety?
- What do I need to know regarding my job security or career and the future path to take?
- How can I best communicate with a loved one that I’m having trouble getting along with in such close quarters?
You can also ask if there’s something that your intuition has been trying to tell you. Ask your Higher Mind how you can be more receptive when it’s trying to communicate with you, so you’re able to truly get back on your path of purpose.
Ask one question at a time and wait for a response. Take whatever answers come to you—maybe a symbol, words or even a feeling.
It’s now time to bring your awareness back into your body. Slowly take a breath and let it assist you in coming back to the present. Feel yourself shifting down into your body, entering through the open funnel. Move your fingers and toes, and gently open your eyes to become fully aware of your body and the room around you.
