Aligning with the Higher / Light self

This technique is based on the concept of a Higher Self, or the theory of Emanationism, which teaches that all that we are, all that we perceive, the Earth itself too emanates from a higher source and that is why we have different realms: Spiritual, Etheric, Mental, Emotional (Astral) and Physical in some New Age traditions. We have the 9 realms of Yggdrasil, or the tree of life, all with varying vibrations or frequencies.
Referring back to the earlier topic of energy refinement and spectrum, it is based on the idea that something that resides in the spiritual realm is like a template of pure light and as it lowers steadily in vibration it manifests in the etheric realm as well. As the vibration slows, it manifests in the mental realm of the mind, then the emotional realm and physical in the flesh, very much like building blocks, or a projection. We can also see an elemental correspondence to each: Etheric - Fire, Mental - Air, Astral - Water and the Physical is Earth.
All that we see has an astral template, which is why those who have out of body experiences (OBE’s) see the astral plane very similarly to how we see it in the physical and look down on their sleeping physical body thinking they have died. The reason I bring this up is because the same is said for us; we have a divine being or aspect that resides perfectly outside of time and space in the higher levels of the spiritual realm which projects through the material realms too. This explains why, when our physical body dies, we are often portrayed and even seen as still having a human figure with similar characteristics rather than being just light or a cloud of energy.
The Higher Self may seem identical to how we do in the physical realm but factors such as genetics, karma and consciousness determine physical appearance but we can visualise it similarly as being a radiant, heavenly entity, perfectly at peace shining down through the realms onto us. The Higher Self is perfect, eternal, in a perpetual state of peace and love; it is another term for our God-self, which we are a human manifestation of. It is my own belief that this was the actual mission of holy men and women of the past; to remind others to connect to their God, or God-self, to bring Heaven down to Earth to ensure peace and love would reign on Earth.
Alignment refers to this Higher Self connection, because there is such a dramatic difference in vibration we cannot perform one meditation and become enlightened but we can build a spiritual practice that helps bring us home to it. The more you attempt to align with the Higher Self, the higher your vibration climbs and even though you will not vanish from the physical realm you can bring some of Heaven down to Earth. The more you practice this technique the less egoic you become, the more compassionate you become and the more spiritual you become – not necessarily pious, but non-judgmental, loving, merciful, forgiving and wise.
To perform this meditation you can either add it to the previous as one meditation which takes less than 15 minutes, or do it alone. Be sure that your intention is to align with the Higher Self. Have a strong desire to connect with something “else”, something higher than you, the moment you signal the Higher Self, it will reach down with more intensity to meet you part of the way.
Meditation to align with the Higher / Light Self:
Visualise yourself as a being of divine light; see yourself as mostly composed of and consumed in light and that your expression is one of absolute peace and content as we see with the Gautama Buddha statues everywhere. Like the centring meditation, see this light shining down on you slowly through the heavens and feel it becoming super imposed on you. This is you already realising there is a connection to your Higher Self, as a manifestation of it, but you are re-aligning to allow the core of who you are flow more steadily.
Doing this can open up your psychic awareness to external forces also, so it is best to be in a sealed or protected state. The Higher Self will protect you in this alignment but sometimes you will sense environmental energies that are distracting or overwhelming. Feel the love of this realm saturating every part of who you are, your body, your mind and your heart as it consumes your worries and insecurities.
Remain in this meditative state for as long as you wish. When you are comfortable, you may simply thank the Higher Self for the experience. There is no closing this meditation as you do not want to “cut off” the alignment you have just performed and so you take this light out into the world. Do however ensure that your psychic faculties are closed down.
This divine light can be incredibly valuable to the many people out there who suffer and they will unconsciously notice it in your auric field and respond to it. An affirmation you can say after it is:
“I am that I am / I am who I am”
So you are in fact referring to becoming the Higher Self here on Earth.
Connecting with Holy Water:
As per many cleansing ceremonies Holy water is used, this is not a concept found just in Christianity, but in many traditions, it can also be called sacred water, or heavenly water. To formulate this, go outside on a very heavily rainy day and place a small vessel onto your lawn or patio, call out to the spirits of the sky to shower the falling rain water with their heavenly light, with the love of the higher self. When the rain eases off or the bowl has filled, pour this sacred water into a coloured bottle to help prevent exposure to other energies, give a prayer of gratitude knowing the spirits have infused this holy water with their light. Store it in a dark space.
You are more than welcome to bestow your own blessing upon this water, which can be used to cleanse your being, to connect to the Higher self, or even as an anchor point if you ever need to apply divine light and energy to any working that you are doing. Follow your intuition with how to utilise it, it can be a gentle drop which you massage into the third eye chakra, onto both palms, onto your feet. Go with the flow.
Connecting with Crystals:
Crystals have a range of gifts that they do love sharing with people who are willing to build up a working friendship with them. The following crystals are particularly brilliant at helping you connect to the Higher self, they are: Angelite, Selenite, Clear Quartz, Moonstone and Celestite. Be sure that you are cautious with crystals and water! As recently introduced, take hold of your chosen crystal, and cleanse and bless it, then ask it to help you tune into your Higher self. Having this friendly ally helps to bridge the connection and will assist future alignments as the crystal helps to magnetise these two parts of yourself, quickly. Be sure to thank the crystal after your meditation.
Connecting with Herbs:
Akin to crystals that have a heavenly correspondence, the following herbs listed below have correspondences that help connect you to the spirit realm and the divine, they are Sandalwood, Mugwort, Frankincense and Myrrh. These herbs are quite well known and were also used in ancient times, along with other flowers such as Lotus, as either offerings to the Pagan Gods or simply used as part of the ceremony taking place.
You can either blend these herbs into a loose incense mix to burn as a part of your alignment meditation or you can blend these herbs if they are in oil form to create a sacred oil that is only used to connect you to your Higher self, blend them in a formula of 10ml of base oil, and 3 drops of each and stir the solution, be sure to say a prayer/blessing of the oil.
Enjoy connecting to this divine aspect and bringing Heaven down to Earth.
Blessed Be, Mat. XxX
