10 Steps to Contact Your Inner Being

Each of us is connected with the Divine. The Higher Self within us far transcends the understanding of our conscious minds. This is the power that all the great geniuses and teachers have ascended to. Also, it is the place of magic and miracles in our lives. Here are the steps to get it back:

1. The first step is to Believe that you have a Higher Being who communicates! Then expect that this communication will improve each day, as you focus diligently on inner growth. Without these two essential prerequisites, it is difficult to achieve anything in life, even at the physical level. These two qualities are essential to domestic growth. So set a Goal to achieve contact with the Higher Self, review that goal every day and keep your purpose with determination until success is yours.
2. Transform Your Worldview. We are primarily educated in a materialistic world view that denies the role of the Spirit. To establish a close contact with spiritual realms, we need our entire being - conscious and subconscious - congruent with our goal. In any activity or game, you have to set the rules and how you play. Contact with your Higher Self is the same. Therefore, written or teachers looking to expand your understanding of the universe, primarily as a realm of Consciousness and Mind.
3. Aloneness. Find time for yourself regularly, which can be totally alone. It is preferable to a quiet place. Just sit quietly with no expectations. Do nothing. This may seem awkward and strange at first. Persist. You are giving time and space to the inner voice for listening. It will either happen during that quiet time, or during the day's events. A synchronistic event might occur, someone telling you exactly what you need to hear, or you'll get a flash of intuition. All the great geniuses of history have been having a regular time of silence and solitude for themselves. You should too.
4. Meditation. In meditation, you work to discipline your mind and silence the internal chatter that always fills it. You create a pure vessel to receive the Higher Self. Following your breath is an excellent meditation discipline, as is gazing steadily in a flame (Tratak). Or visualize a golden ball of light in your Solar Plexus that fills your whole body with energy and healing. There are many practices that you can study and use.
5. Journal. Record your feelings, emotions, dreams and insights every day in a journal. This will help you get into closer contact with your deep intuition. You can ask questions to your Higher Self here, and then record any answers or insight you receive. If you do this regularly with belief and expectation, you will get the answers you need.
6. Internal Dialogue. Drive a regular inner dialogue with your Higher Self. Over the next 40 days, decide to stay in touch throughout the day. Tell your Higher Self "I know you're there and want to meet and get attention. Please guide my life." Do not worry if this dialogue is entirely one way at first. Remember that you've been out of contact for decades. It takes time to clear the cobwebs! Persist with this inner dialogue as if talking to a friend, talking, asking questions, sharing your hopes and begin to hear the answers.
7. Life Lessons. See life as a Mystery School. All your life events, situations and people, have been structured precisely in order to teach you exactly what you need to know now. Take life as if all creation were conspiring to your benefit! When something happens in your life, for better or worse, ask yourself what is the lesson for you. Even unpleasant people or situations have been deliberately placed there as a challenge to help you grow. When you start seeing your life as a work in which you're playing the lead role, the Higher Self will become increasingly evident in your life. Record your findings in your journal. 
8. Dreams. Expect your Higher Self to speak to you in dreams. Before bed have some stretch and relax your body completely. Ask your Higher Self something and wait for the answer. When you wake up, remember what you can from your dreams and write in your journal. If you're not used to remember your dreams, this will take time and persistence. However, with patience, you will begin to remember your dreams AND receive answers from your Higher Self. 
9. Consciousness. Focus on living more and more in the present, in the NOW. When you're eating, be aware you're eating. When you walk, know that you are walking. The only real moment is Now. The past is gone forever and the future has not yet arrived. Therefore, work on clearing your mind of concerns, illusions and extrapolations. Limit the chatter of the mind and create a space for the Higher Self.
10. Patience! Remember, you have spent your entire life without contact with the Source. Therefore, it takes time to learn how to re-establish contact. Everything worthwhile takes time and practice. Be vigilant and practice these steps every day, and you'll get the answers you need. Remember: The Higher Self wants to be in contact. In fact, just talking to him as someone separate from you is contradictory. The Higher Self is you! Your True Self. So get in touch with you!
