The spiritual journey has many aspects but connecting to your higher self, your soul allows you to access more knowledge that can help you.

What is your higher self, your soul? There are different aspects to us. Many of us are brought up to think of ourselves as just our body – we begin and end there. But when you start to awaken, you know that there is more to you than this. Your higher self is a part of you that exists in other dimensions, not just in this 3 dimensional world.

To connect with that part of you, it’s helpful to see that even in our world, there is an energy which connects everything and everyone. This is hard at first because we’re so used to seeing ourselves, other people and objects as separate from us.

But think about this – when someone is upset/angry and pretends everything is OK, we know that they’re not telling the truth. People give off their emotions all the time and we can pick up on them – there is an energy we can’t see that we’re connected to.

Quantum physics talks about a unified field, something which connects everything. So to connect to your higher self, one thing is to know that energies surround you all the time that you can’t see.

For myself, to get into this mode of knowing, I imagined sensing and connecting to the energies given off by the trees and plants as I walked down the street. And it did feel quite strange! I was so used to thinking of myself as a body and separate, that imagining energies connected to me was pretty weird. But as with everything, the more you do this, the easier it becomes and makes sense.

Your soul exists in other dimensions but is always connected to you even if you can’t see it. So doing this sort of exercise gets you attuned to the fact that you can connect to your higher self. This journey teaches you that all and everything is connected, whatever dimensions they reside in.
