We would all like to think that we are always connected to the Higher Consciousness. The truth is that it is very easy for this connection to break the minute we become acutely emotional or upset, start thinking negative thoughts or doubting ourselves or Higher Power.

The truth of the matter is that most of the time we walk around disconnect totally and thinking the world revolves around ourselves and that’s it. We really don’t feel connected to anyone or anything else. We especially don’t feel connected to each other or nature.

This leads us into selfishness, fear, anxiety, depression, doubt and an ego driven existence. Maintaining a connection to Higher Power throughout your day is a very conscious thing. You have to practice it daily and learn to control your mind and only think positive thoughts. Realize that you DO have control of your thoughts! You make the choice daily to either think positive thoughts or to let the negative thoughts rule you. It takes hard work and strong will to seize control of your busy mind and make it bend to your will!

To establish a strong connection to Higher Consciousness, first you need to have a strong faith in something larger than you. If you are not a religious person or do not follow an organized religion, this task takes on a new shine of extreme difficulty!

I personally have chosen a Universalist approach of Spiritualism. I am a comfortable mix of American Indian, Tibetan Buddhist and the Christian Ten Commandments only. We are all free to express and follow our own personal versions of Spiritualism! People don’t realize this and doggedly follow one Religion or another never fully being able to accept the whole enchilada!

Here’s is a news flash for all of you….You don’t have to eat the whole enchilada!! Swallow what you like of it and leave the rest. This approach to Spiritualism in general is very freeing and allows you to explore your own version of God or Higher Power.

If you like nature then think of a mountain or tree as something that you can have faith in. Talk to your mountain or tree daily just like it was a person and believe that it is listening to you. Ask your mountain or tree for guidance in your life daily and ask it to manifest something for you! This builds up faith in something. You see the icon doesn’t matter, it’s the feelings and beliefs and faith that you put behind that makes the connection to Higher Power shine!!

I would also suggest that you listen to my Spirit Guide Meditation located here on my blog. If you are moved to, it will let you “see” your Highest Spirit Guide for right now. Then practice the faith building exercise above to maintain and build up that connection. You will notice a difference in how you feel daily and that your are calmer and cooler than before.

Here is a beautiful breathing exercise you can also do for your Crown Chakra!

Take a big deep breath in and let it out, let go of all your stress and tension. Again big deep clearing breath in and let go, let go, let go. One more time, big breath in and all the stress out!

Now let’s picture the color lavender. There is a big heavy cloud of lavender coming down and surrounding your head, neck and upper torso. This lavender cloud contains massive amounts of healing and detoxifying power. Breathe in the lavender fog and exhale black. Again in Lavender Fog which contains faith and trust in Higher Power, now out black which contains doubt, fear, and skepticism. One more time in Lavender Fog and out Black.

Now look in the mirror and say three times, “I am Divine and I am Connected To Higher Power!” Do this exercise daily and I’ll bet you will feel more connected to Higher Power, other people and nature.

Here are a couple of videos for ya too:
