Meet Your Higher Self

“There are no ordinary people. The blur of everyday reality has created a

world in which most of us have forgotten our unique and sacred

existence...it is [our] true self, once discovered, that enables us to

understand more clearly the nature of our world, and our own existence.”

- Kim Chestney

Your Higher Self (or True Self) is your ultimate personal resource. It exceeds

anything you know with your present awareness. Your Higher Self is the aspect of

your consciousness that is closest to source. It’s your divine essence and exists

beyond space, time, and the confines of third dimensional reality. Your Higher

Self is a fully realized eternal being, infinitely wise, and transcends your everyday

consciousness. Access to the Higher Self is a capacity that we all have, but most

are not aware of it.

If you want to make sure that you are on the right path for your highest and best

good and stay on that path, it is vitally important that you form a relationship and

a bond with your Higher Self in order to receive its guidance from a perspective

that can see clearly which way you need to go. This allows you to navigate and

function in physical reality as a whole person.

Without the guidance from higher self, you are like a ship without a rudder as you

attempt to navigate physical reality. You have no idea if you are heading in the

right direction. It is a hit or miss proposition, whereas forming a relationship with

your higher self will enable you to receive guidance that will allow you to staysquarely on the vibrational path that represents your highest and best good

The Higher Self can perceive all past, present, and future events. It has the

perspective of being able to see all of the different possible realties that you can

experience. So, the Higher Self is like the version of you that stands on the




of 17

mountain top, and can see far and wide all of the paths and pitfalls that you could

take, whereas your conscious mind is like being down in a valley without the

ability to see in advance the various paths and where they will lead.

Your Higher Self is more aware of what you need than you are. It knows all you

have been, all you are now, and all you are becoming. It is aware of all of the

countless possibilities available for your growth and success, and which will best

serve you. It has all of the solutions that you seek and access to great fields of

information.

When you consciously interact with your Higher Self, you are accessing the highest

level of your being. By establishing a bond with your Higher Self and regularly

tuning in for guidance, you will have the rudder that you need in order to skillfully

steer your life in the direction that produces the best possible outcomes. You will

be able to manifest your experience of physical reality more efficiently, more

powerfully, more clearly, and more consciously. This will enable you to design

your life in the way that you truly want it to be.

You Are ALWAYS Connected to Your Higher Self

“The physical mind has never had an original idea. Never! It is not the

place where ideas are born. Ideas, concepts, imaginings come from the

Higher Mind.” - Bashar

According to Bashar, you are always connected to and receiving ideas from your

Higher Self or what he calls Higher Mind. Furthermore, Bashar says that all of our

ideas come from the Higher Mind, and that the physical mind and the Higher Mind

must work together in a balanced way for you to be a whole person.

The following is a partial transcript of one of Bashar’ s lectures in which he delves

deeper into this topic:

“What you are experiencing when you conceive or imagine an image of an

idea is actually coming from the Higher Mind. The Higher Mind conceives.

The physical mind receives and perceives. The physical mind has never had

an original idea. Never! It is not the place where ideas are born. Ideas,

concepts, imaginings come from the Higher Mind.

The physical mind and the Higher Mind must work together in concert in a

balanced way for you to be considered a whole person. When you think that

the physical mind is supposed to do all of the work, and think of everything,

you are actually only functioning as half a mind.

You must allow for communication to occur, balance to occur, and sharing to

occur with the Higher Mind in order to be functional as a whole person.

So, when we talk about visualizing your ideal reality, understand that what is

happening is that the Higher Mind is conceiving that image and sending it to

the physical brain, which then perceives the image. But the physical mind

does NOT conceive the image. It’s only perceives the image. More

importantly, it only perceives an image that the physical mind is capable of




of 17

interpreting as relevant. There may actually be more information in that

image than you are actually capable of perceiving with the physical mind

that is coming from the Higher Mind.

That’s why it is so important that when you get that image in your physical

mind of what you prefer or desire, that you not insist that it must materialize

in the exact way as it appears in the image because you may only be seeing

half of the picture. There may be far greater ways that the Higher Mind can

bring you the results that is actually more representative of the state of

being of that reality – of the vibration that you prefer in that reality.

So, that is why you have to relax the idea and relax your insistence that

what you manifest must match the image exactly how you picture it. When

you relax that insistence, you allow for the possibility that you will manifest

something even greater than you imagined with your physical mind. You

allow the Higher Mind to manifest in a way that is truly most joyful, truly

most loving, truly most exciting, and truly most creative, while at the same

time simply using the visualization capabilities of your physical mind to get

into the proper state represented by the picture – the proper state that will

allow you the capability of being open enough to receive the actual fullness

of the manifestation that your Higher Mind is sending you.”

How You Communicate With Your Higher Self and Know

If You Are on the Right Path

“By following your passion, by following your excitement, by pointing the

needle in that direction only, you will always be completely, purely, squarely

on the path that is most truly you – your core true natural self.” - Bashar

In another lecture, Bashar provided some great information about how we

communicate with Higher Mind, and how we know if are on the right path. Watch

this video titled “Bashar ‘Imagination...’ June 14, 2008” that contains a portion of

that Bashar lecture:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM-FDqWkuAw#!

The following is a partial transcript of the above video:

Imagination is the conduit between your Higher Mind and your physical

mind. It is the pipeline through which your Higher Mind communicates with

you, and through which, in receiving that communication, you can then, as

physical beings, as physical personalities, apply the information, the

imagination that comes from Higher Mind, the communication into your

physical lives to alter them, to change them in ways that are more reflective

of your passion, your excitement, your joy, your preference - or not. It is up

to you to use this positively or negatively. It is up to you.

Imagination is the key to allow an alignment to occur. And, if you are willing

to use your imagination without filtering the communication from your

Higher Mind through belief systems that contain fear, then you will find that

the outcome can always be a positive one. And, you can always amplify and

magnify that in any direction, in any area of your lives, whatsoever - no

matter what.

The Higher Mind … guides you towards the path of least resistance – the path

that is most truly you.

The vibration of excitement, the vibration of passion, is what functions like

the compass needle. It is your magnetic north to your true self. By

following your passion, by following your excitement, by pointing the needle

in that direction only, you will always be completely, purely, squarely on the

path that is most truly you – your core true natural self.

Your imagination is the conduit through which your Higher Mind can guide

you in this very easily, if you allow it to be effortless, which you can.

Physical mind then chooses, in physical reality various ideas of how to apply

these ideas coming from the Higher Mind – in ways that are also pleasing to

physical being that you are, the physical personality that you are, and you

learn to work in concert as a whole being, as a whole person, with the

Higher Mind...

If the physical mind thinks that it must be the only one doing that job, it is

going to be burdened; it is going to be weighed down; it is going to be tired.

Because, the physical mind is not designed to know how things will happen.

The physical mind is only designed to know how things have happened.

The idea is thus then to trust the Higher Mind to let you know that if the

Higher Mind is sending you information that pushes you in the direction of

your passion and you trust that, what the Higher Mind is telling you is that

by following your passion the HOW will be taken care of, because the Higher

Mind can see how you are going to get there. And, the translation of that

HOW through the imagination is the physical sensation of excitement, joy,

passion, and love. That’s how the Higher Mind speaks to the physical mind

through the conduit of the imagination with those feelings, those vibrations,

those energies, pictures.

You CAN Receive Guidance from Your Higher Self

"What you love is a sign from your higher self of what you are to do." -

Sanaya Roman

Receiving guidance from your Higher Self or True Self is very attainable for

everyone. All you need to do is to want to develop a relationship with your Higher

Self and follow a few simple steps (which are detailed below). Pursuing an

ongoing relationship with your Higher Self can alter your life forever. What would

happen if you connected with such guidance every day?

You can ask your Higher Self for anything: help in making a decision, insight into a

particular area, as well as help manifesting any of your desires (see the

manifestation questions below). Always be in gratitude for your Higher Self and

offer thanks in advance for the answers that you are about to receive, which can

help to open the channels for receiving.

Whenever you receive an answer, always drill down and ask more questions to

glean all of the guidance that you can get. For example, you might ask: “What is

the most important thing for me to do today for my highest and best good?” Let’s

say that the answer that you receive is: “Love yourself.”

Your next question should be something like: “How can I best love myself?” Let’s

say the answer is: “Do something that makes you really enjoy doing.” So, then

you ask: “What brings me the most enjoyment?” Etc.

When receiving guidance from your Higher Self, it is important to be open to any

answer you receive, because it may not always be what you expect. As mentionedabove, your Higher Self has a much more expansive view of your reality and may

respond with an “outside of the box” answer.

The 10-Second Philosophy

“The right word, thought, question, phrase, or idea is all it takes to cause

you to stop, go deeper inside, and reach your True Self . – Derek Mills

Derek Mills is a great example of somebody who drastically altered the course of

his life when he decided to follow the guidance of his Higher Self, or what he calls

True Self. Derek is the author of a book titled The 10 Second Philosophy: A

Practical Guide to releasing Your Inner Genius.

Here’s a quote from the book: “The 10-Second Philosophy is about immediate

change and revealing your True Self, your inner genius. The right word, thought,

question, phrase, or idea is all it takes to cause you to stop, go deeper inside, and

reach your True Self. When you live from ‘who’ you really are and use Standards

to keep you in your Truth, life will never be the same again.”

Before Derek started connecting with his True Self, everything was on a downward

spiral in his life - his work, his physical and mental health, his relationships with

family and friends. But one insignificant question from an office security guard

when Derek was working late one night caused Derek to stop, connect deep within

himself, and in the next 10 seconds he began to see a way to change his entire life

completely.

Over the next few years this process led Derek to making amazing changes that

created balance and harmony in all areas of his life, becoming a millionaire

businessman, and sharing his 10-Second Philosophy with audiences worldwide.

Here is an excellent interview with Derek on YouTube in which he tells his story

about his life before and after he began tuning into guidance from True Self, titled:

“Changing your standards in life and live the life of your dreams! Derek Mills, UK ” :

Asking Quality Questions

“Questions provide the key to unlocking our unlimited potential. Quality

questions create a quality of life. Successful people ask better questions,

and as a result, they get better answers.” – Anthony Robbins

Throughout his career, Anthony Robbins has been driven by a single question:

what makes the difference in the quality of people's lives? He came to the

conclusion that it is the questions we ask of ourselves and how well we look inside

to find the answers that plays a key role. In other words, asking quality and

probing questions is your key to success.

"You and I have that same power at our disposal every moment of the day," says

Anthony Robbins. "At the moment, the questions that we ask ourselves can shape

our perception of who we are, what we're capable of, and what we're willing to do

to achieve our dreams."

“The genuine quality of life comes from consistent, quality questions," says

Robbins. If you ask great questions, your Higher Self will provide great answers

and solutions. Conversely, "If you ask a terrible question, you'll get a terrible

answer," he says.

Robbins popularized the use of questions in his excellent Personal Power

programs. He devised three sets of questions: one for mornings, one for night,

and another set to use when dealing with problems throughout the day.

Morning Questions

What am I most happy about in my life right now?

What about that makes me happy?

What am I most excited about in my life right now?

What am I most grateful for in my life right now?

What am I enjoying most in my life right now?

What am I most committed to in my life right now?

Who do I love? Who loves me?

What can I do today that will bring me joy?

What are the most important things for me to do today that are for my

highest and best good?

Evening Questions

What have I learned today?

What have I enjoyed today?

What have I improved upon or contributed today?

How has today added to my life?

What did I do today towards reaching my goals?

Problem Solving Questions

What do I need to do today towards reaching my goals?

How can I become successful and enjoy the process?

What can I learn from this experience?

How can I make this happen right now and enjoy the process?

What’s working? What can be better?

What is better than this?

What's actually funny about this situation that I haven't noticed before?

Constant and Never-ending Improvement

“We only learn our limits by going beyond them. I propose that we all

commit ourselves to the process of Constant and Never-ending

Improvement - or CANI.” – Anthony Robbins

In asking yourself the above questions, you can work on making incremental

improvements every single day of your life, which build upon the improvements

that you made the previous day. The cumulative impact on your life will be

transformative. Anthony Robbins calls this process “CANI”, which stands for

Constant and Never-ending Improvement.

The Japanese have a single word for constant and never-ending improvement

called "Kaizen." Kaizen is derived from the Japanese words Kai and Zen, where

"kai" means change, and "zen" means good. Change is good. The philosophy

behind Kaizen is usually credited to Dr. W. Edwards Deming, whose quality

management principles of continuous improvement were embraced by the

Japanese and was largely responsible for transforming their economy.

According to Robbins, investing the time and effort to continuously improve

yourself is how you create true security in life:

"Most people never feel secure because they are always worried that they

will lose their job, lose the money they already have, lose their spouse, lose

their health, and so on. The only true security in life comes from knowing

that every single day you are improving yourself in some way, that you are

increasing the caliber of who you are and that you are valuable to your

company, your friends, and your family."

Below are links to two terrific, short videos in which Robbins discusses the power

of asking quality questions. The first one is titled “Anthony Robbins: Shift Your

Focus - The Power of Questions”:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr7Wkz7W7Vs

The second video is titled “Anthony Robbins: Asking the Right Questions.”

Robbins provides some examples of questions that we typically ask ourselves, and

by simply changing the question you are instantly empowered:

Steps to Receive Guidance from Your Higher Self

Before you can receive guidance from your Higher Self, you must first get out of

your head and into your heart. In other words, you must become heart centered,

and the first seven steps below are about doing just that.

1. Have the intention of becoming heart centered and be still (whether lying

down, sitting or standing).

2. Close your eyes if you can, because your attention is drawn inward when

your eyes are closed. If you prefer, keep your eyes open and focus on a

spot ahead of you.

3.

Slow down your breathing a bit, taking longer, deeper, and more deliberatebreaths.

4. Touch the area of your chest above your heart with one of your hands, as

you would when you say the pledge of allegiance to the flag.

5. Notice the rise and fall of your hand as you breathe in and out. It’s as if

you are breathing from your heart.

6. Now, think of something puts a smile on your face (while keeping your

hand over your heart). Perhaps it’s a fond memory of a parent, a child, orloved one. Or, perhaps it’s your favorite pet. Whatever it is, feel gratitude

as if the memory is happening in the now. You should be smiling. If not,

find another memory that puts a smile on your face and it generates the

feeling of gratitude.

7. Continue doing that (slow breathing, hand on chest, and happy thought in

mind) for several minutes. After two-three minutes, you should be heart

coherent, which can last for up to six or seven hours. You are now out of your head and in your heart.

8. Next, while continuing to breathe slowly and deliberately, move your

attention to your solar plexus for several breaths, and then even lower to

your gut. Breathe slowly from there – noticing your lower belly expand




of 17

and contract as you breathe in and out. It is helpful to place your hand on

your stomach, covering your navel, and notice the movement of your hand

as you breathe deeply and slowly.

9. You should notice a shift from external to internal consciousness as you

continue to focus on your breath and the movement of your belly. You are

in the now, just being, which is where you access your Higher Self. Trust

that you have clear channel of communication with your Higher Self. It’s

ALL about trust.

10. Now, you are ready to ask your Higher Self a question (refer to the section

above on asking quality questions). Start your question with “Dear Higher

Self…”

11. Whatever comes back to you first is the answer. Receive it without any

doubt or judgment.

12. Follow whatever answer, guidance, or ideas come from your Higher Self.

After a bit of practice, you be able to do steps 1-7 fairly quickly and become heart

coherent. Then, you can move your focus down to your gut and ask quality

questions of your Higher Self.

When you receive an answer, it up to you to act upon it. It’ s your choice. Know

that every single small course correction and improvement matters. Remember

CANI and Kaizen. Good change is good, no matter how small or insignificant it

seems at first. Because, when you make that change, you are actually shifting

into an adjacent possibility of existence. Every time you make a small change for

the better, you are stimulating a butterfly effect that will, in essence, change your

entire life.

Questions to Ask Your Higher Self about Manifestation

Always make sure that you are heart-centered and connected to Higher Self

whenever you want to get clarity and clear the way for manifestation. The

questions below are for manifesting abundance, but can easily be modified for

anything that you want to manifest:

Is it in my highest good to have abundance? (Sometimes you get an answer

that it depends upon how you are going to use it. So then ask: What would

my intention for using abundance have to be in order to manifest

abundance?).

What kind of person do I need to become or who do I need to be in order tomanifest abundance?

What do I need to clear and/or heal in order to allow the abundance in?

Constantly check in to see how you feel about manifesting your intention.

Anytime there is any doubt (less than 100%), continue to ask probing questions:

What is preventing me from manifesting abundance?

What is it that I need to know about abundance to move forward?

Is there something or someone in my life that I need to clear in order for

abundance to come into my life?
