Embodying Your Higher Self

How to develop a relationship with the most authentic part of your being.

Not to be dramatic here, but have you ever read a book that changed your life? There’s been a few for me, but one that propelled me on my spiritual journey is a channeled work by Sanaya Roman: Spiritual Growth: Being Your Higher Self.

I came across this book at the first holistic fair I ever attended back in 2015. There was a long table with a plethora of spiritual books that were free for anyone to take. The beautiful purple and pink cover of Spiritual Growth called to me, and when I picked the book up, it literally vibrated in my hands.

I am currently re-reading this book for probably the fourth time. It always comes back to me when I am ready to expand and go through a new level of spiritual awakening.

In Spiritual Growth, Sanaya channels a spiritual being by the name of Orin. Throughout the text, Orin shares what a higher self is, and ways that we can all connect and embody our most authentic, spiritual beings.

So what is your higher self? You higher self is the aspect of you that exists in a higher spiritual dimension of Eternal Love and Infinite Light. Your higher self is wise, kind, loving, and compassionate, and available to assist you throughout your life with becoming aligned with your highest and best path. This spiritual aspect of your being can assist you with healing physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

I know when I am in alignment with my higher self, I am happier, healthier, and feel more at peace. I often use “higher self”, “spiritual self” and “authentic self” interchangeably. To me they are all the same entity—my divine essence that is an extension of Source.

The first time I remember channeling my higher self was when I was contemplating taking a job that was a pay cut and not full time. I really wanted the position, but knew that the circumstances were less than ideal. I suddenly had an urge come over me that told me to get a journal and I wrote something along the lines of: “Don’t take the job as it is now. Wait and you will get what you want.” I knew at that moment that a force larger than me had spoken, and I needed to trust it. So I turned the job down, and a month later I was offered the position I wanted, full time, and for a salary I could live with.

Learning how to connect with your authentic self is simple but not always easy. It requires that you go inside of yourself, get quiet, and learn how to tune in. Your higher self speaks in many different ways, through gut feelings, sensations, intuitive knowing, visions, synchronicities, and for me and some others, through actual words. Everyone is different in how they receive spiritual messages, so it requires some time and attention to figure out how Spirit communicates with you.

I view my higher self, ChristiBella, as a best friend, mother, and the most evolved version of myself. When I do parts work, I ask her to assist with the healing. She is essential in the process because she shares her Love and compassionate energy to help my different parts unburden. Often once they meet her, they no longer feel alone and like they have to be responsible for my entire system. She is always available to offer support, comfort, wisdom, and guidance.

The best thing you can do to start establishing a connection with your spirit is to get comfortable sitting in meditation. Once you can sit in silence and just be fully present with yourself, then start setting an intention to be open to your higher self. The old saying is true: “Quiet the mind so the soul can speak”.

Once you’ve settled your mind, body, and energy system, all you need to do is ask for your higher self to merge with you. You could say “I am open to my higher self”, or “Higher Self, please merge with me so that I can be guided by your Love.”

Visualization can also be helpful in establishing a connection with your spirit. I might imagine my higher self standing in front of me, and that we merge together as one. Other times I imagine a beam of light flowing in through my crown, spreading throughout my entire body and raising my vibration.

Another visualization that came to me recently is imagining there is a door at my heart center, and when I open it, my higher self’s light floods my entire body. Which visualizations and intentions you use is not important, it just needs to feel right for you and your higher self. Sitting in quiet and being open are the two most important steps in this process.

Another thing that helps establish a clear connection with your higher self is raising your vibration. Your higher self exists in a dimension of Love, the highest frequency there is. In order to communicate with you, they have to bring down their vibration, and you have to raise yours up. To have a vibration that is easily able to understand the messages from your spiritual self, it is best to do things that keep you in that more elevated state. Our vibrations are influenced by what we eat, think, do, who we spend time with, and how we spend our time. Someone who eats a lot of processed foods, never goes outside, and doom scrolls for a living will most likely have a slower vibration than someone who eats healthy, natural foods, meditates, exercises, and spends time in nature.

There is no right or wrong way to speed up your vibration, just go toward the things that make you feel good and don’t have a negative consequence. What I mean by this is drinking alcohol might feel good in the moment, but overall depletes your energy. Think about what makes you feel healthy, aligned, and at peace, and if it doesn’t cause any kind of harm then it is probably something that will help you raise your frequency and be better able to understand your higher self’s guidance.

I’ve also spent years automatic writing as a way to channel spiritual messages from my higher self, angels, and Source. Automatic writing is where you set an intention that you’re open to your higher self’s guidance, put pen to paper, and then write whatever comes to mind without filtering it. That’s what I did when I was guided to not take the job. For me, it is easier to get clear messages if I close my eyes. My writing doesn’t look pretty this way, but it helps me tune out all other distractions and focus solely on the current of energy running through my mind.

Embodying your higher self is a beautiful step toward elevating your consciousness and living an authentically aligned life. This is work that I pursue daily for myself, and feel passionate about helping others be able to do.
