You may have the question, how do you connect to your higher self? I know many people do have this question. Your Sacred Heart space is the doorway to your higher self. And I call it sacred because I'm referring to the energy field that surrounds your physical heart. It's where the world of material existence in the world of spiritual being are integrated, and where the alchemy of change at the very highest level can take place. Now, there are many techniques, both ancient and modern to help you access your heart intelligence and higher consciousness.

This heart chakra contains that seed, that spark of life from your I Am Presence that gives you life and keeps you moving in this physical world. And when that is withdrawn, then we have what We call physical death. So this is a very precious place within your spiritual being and anchored in an energy field in your physical heart area. Traditionally, meditation, prayer and contemplation are the most common ways of accessing this, and we're going to talk about that and we're going to talk about other ways also. But first, I want to talk more about your heart. There's been much scientific research on the heart that has established its intelligence and recognizes it as a source of intuition, and perception.

The research conducted at the Institute of heart math in California, USA, has determined that the heart is a highly complex, self organized information processing center with its own Functional brain that communicates with and influences the cranial brain, via the nervous system, hormonal system, and other pathways. And these influences profoundly affect brain function and most of the body's major organs and ultimately determine the quality of life. They've measured the effects that emotions have on heart rhythms, finding the positive emotions have a positive effect. And negative emotions correspondingly, have a negative effect. And the institute has also developed techniques that can help you reduce stress by and or interrupting these negative patterns. Meditation, prayer and contemplation can definitely help you move into your heart space.

They're the most common techniques used, and of course, they're different, many different forms of each of those disciplines. If you have a momentum on meditating, then you may already be familiar with this energy center. But to begin, one of the quickest and easiest ways is simply to begin by becoming still and quiet, focusing your energy, right where you are in that very moment. The challenge, of course, is always to bring your attention from your head to your heart. Now you can achieve this in a number of different ways. Once you have a familiarity with this process, you can just simply place your attention upon your heart.

Or you can just do that at any time. You know that energy you'll you're familiar with it, you know how to be in that space. You can also use your imagination and visualize a ball of intense light over your heart, just like a noonday sun, bright, powerful, and it just helps you focus and get into that heart. face. But one of the most effective ways that I found is to imagine a drop of water falling from your head to your heart and landing in a pool of water at the level of your heart. You just follow that drop from your head down to your heart, you see that pool of water and the ripples when the drop hits it.

This helps shift you from your thinking mind that doesn't want to stop thinking into your heart. And it always helps to accompany this with thoughts and feelings of someone or something dear to you, something that you love, that it always helps us when we love to go into our heart space. And as you maintain this focus and feeling you'll be in that space where you experience peace and equilibrium. Joy. Now, if you've not done this before, It will take some practice, you'll become more sensitive to that energy, you will begin to feel that space like it's very, almost like a physical space you're moving into. And you just want to gain a momentum on doing this.

And you will easily then be able to just place your attention upon your heart. Now remaining in that space. You can post questions and listen for guidance, as guidance could come as thoughts, feelings, pictures, or just even an inner knowing. I find that many times the question, you pose the question and the answer comes a little later. It can just pop into your head or circumstances might be brought to you that you recognize Oh, yeah, that's my answer. Somebody just said something.

But practice tapping into your higher consciousness. regain your wholeness. So you can access every aspect of your being. You are not meant to struggle without guidance and higher wisdom because it's there within you. The more you practice connecting with your higher consciousness The I Am, the better you get at it. It's an invaluable asset in your personal life, as well as your business or occupation.

And keep in mind, while meditation and other practices give you a deep and rich experience, they're not required to enter into your heart space. You can do so at will at any time, any place and just remain there indefinitely. Or be there always, never leave it. That's the whole idea. It's a matter of moving your consciousness into that sacred space, which only requires the choice to make a shift in consciousness stepping into the A larger dimension of yourself which you access through your heart is the missing piece in your personal and business life. You will see how helpful This is when you have a business decision to make or you're facing a difficult person or situation.

Imagine if you were to have your children or your spouse or your parent, or your coworker or your boss, anybody that brings to you challenging energy in a challenging situation. And your first reaction, of course, would be to react. But once you have this momentum, you can simply take a breath and just let your consciousness volunteer heart and be anchored there before you respond. So being in your heart space allows you to be in the highest of vibrations, and be ready to perceive the best action or reaction to any given situation. without adding more negative energy to a negative situation or a difficult situation. Now whether it is the poet Rumi's, quote, everything in the universe is within you.

Ask all from yourself, or Jesus, quote, don't look here we're there for the kingdom of heaven is within you. Recognize that your oneness and wholeness begins with your inward general journey and knowing thyself.
