Dear Vywamus,
I am interested in how to connect with my inner being and the higher realms. Is there a guide line to follow? Whom do I ask for help?
I am fairly new to these concepts and have learned how to do Reiki, so that was my first opening door. I sooo want to learn more. I have been told I am going to be a very strong healer and very needed, so I need all the help I can get to evolve.
Thank you,
Mary Ann
Dear Mary Ann,
Congratulations on getting to this point. You have many beautiful learnings and experiences ahead on your spiritual path. I and the other guides are glad for you.
Since you have already laid a fine foundation with the Reiki, perhaps you can start there, continuing to practice Reiki on yourself, on others, on the Earth, on pets or plants, and learning more and more about the higher Energy that flows through you when doing the healing work. As you probably learned in your Reiki training, this Energy flows through you to heal, whether you can at first perceive it or not. As you pay attention and further attune yourself to the Energy, you can develop your ability to perceive it more easily, and allow a greater flow to come through you.
You will find many writings that tell of others’ experiences in the higher realms. These can be good food for your mind, and may whet your enthusiasm for your own further explorations, But they will not be enough. On the spiritual path words and writings are no substitute for your own direct experience. So, in addition to the Reiki I would also recommend that you try out various forms of both movement and sitting meditation.
There are many good books which describe the various forms of meditation you can use, and I have gone into detail about some of these forms in other letters on this web site. If you have already looked through them you’ve probably seen that much of the advice there about how to connect to your inner being applies to you as well.
You may also try some of the many audio recordings that are designed to lead you into a state of higher consciousness, and see which are helpful to you. And finally, you might look into Part Two of my book, The Next Big Bang: The Explosion of Human Consciousness where I present in an easy to use form a set of exercises for accessing your inner being and the higher realms of consciousness. All these may be helpful to you, and it is not necessary that you follow all the directions to the letter. These are only forms designed to help you make a space in your awareness to allow a direct connection to your inner being. So try them out, and then trust your own inner wisdom as to how you use them.
As for asking for help, you may already be aware of having some help from various beings, especially those who specialize in healing, while doing your Reiki, and you may get a clearer sense of them as you continue to work together. And for personal guidance and supportive energy on your path, you may ask me, or any one of us guides and teachers that you feel drawn to. We are all here and always available as your companions on this exciting journey. Call on us any time.
Fondly,
Vywamus
