Many people tell me they cannot communicate with their Higher Self. They do not trust what they hear from their own inner voice--if they can hear one at all--and so they seek answers about their lives from others.

How does our Higher Self communicate with us? Most of us communicate with our Higher Self through our subconscious mind using a major sensory modality--we either see, hear, or feel. If we're having a conversation with someone who needs to visualize information, while we need to feel things, we could easily misunderstand each other even if we're expressing the same idea. Most of us are kinesthetic--we feel the answers from our Higher Self with our whole body; but others may see or hear their information.

Trusting our feelings is a problem for many of us. We don't trust or listen to our feelings or our inner voice because of past situations when we've been hurt. The first feelings or impressions that come to us, however, are messages from our Higher Self and need to be honored and trusted.

I have a simple exercise to connect you with your Higher Self. Once you are familiar with this technique you can use it confidently to answer any questions about your life. You do have all your answers within you.

For this exercise, sit at a table with paper and pen. First, clear and quiet your mind by focusing on a point on a wall straight ahead. Hold your head level and shift only your eyes so you're looking up at a point on the ceiling. This will quiet your mind immediately.

When your mind is quiet, write down the question "Why am I here on Earth?" Then ask the question quickly three times, either to yourself or out loud:

Why am I here on Earth?

Why am I here on Earth?

Why am I here on Earth?

Always write down the first answer that comes to you. The answer may come as a word, picture, or feeling. You will usually get answers like to love, teach, learn, play, heal, or share.

If the answer is "to love," find out what it really means by writing another question to your Higher Self. Whatever the words were that you received, write the next question using these words, always pertaining to why you are here on Earth. Ask, for example, how do I love? How do I teach? How do I heal? What does love mean? What am I supposed to be teaching? What am I supposed to share? Always keep your questions simple and use as few words as possible.

As you write your question, clear your mind and repeat the question three times--out loud or in your mind--just as you did the first time. Then write down your answer again.

Let's say the sequence went like this:

Why am I here on Earth? To love.

What does love mean? It means to take your power.

What does taking my power mean?

Continue this process using the key words from your answer to create a new question. Write down everything that comes to you even if it's strange. Go as fast as you can and don't think about it. Keep writing and asking questions until you start to write continuously.

Do this for five minutes and then look at what you've written. Your answers will give you the key to why you are here on Earth and what you've been creating. You can use this same process to answer any questions you have.

When I do a Heart & Soul Healing™ session, I put my client in touch with their Higher Self. They already know all their own answers. They just need to learn to trust that this is true.
