Meet your Highest Self

[Meditation duration: 16 minutes]

Take a journey to your most comfortable place to meet your Highest Self. Present them with a question you'd like answered. Receive their wise guidance...and a gift.

Return to this meditation as needed.

NOTE: Prepare a brief question before the meditation. On what have you been in need of guidance lately? What is an issue you're working with now?
Tip: Steer clear of "when" questions, as there is no construct of time in non-ordinary reality.

CORE FOUNDATION OF SELF PRACTICE: Self-Alignment Meditation

When emotions get the best of us, we can feel overwhelmed and out of control. This brief, body-focused meditation brings us back into alignment with love and acceptance of our fully human lives.

You'll receive instruction on the meditation before the practice begins.
The Self-alignment Meditation can be used in its long or short form (practicing it as long as you need to regulate).

The answers you seek to big life questions are not out there, they are within.

[Meditation duration: 14 minutes]

Your highest self is the unseen (but very much present) part of you that comes from and is connected to Source. It is a confidante, a friend, an oracle that is waiting to guide you along your path.

This meditation takes you on a journey to meet your highest self, your divine nature. In other words, The Holy Self.
