The nature of spiritual work is deeply intertwined with the concept of divine timing. Often, we receive insights, intuitions, or inner knowing long before external evidence aligns with these revelations. This phenomenon can feel invalidating at first, especially when our logical mind seeks immediate confirmation. However, when the concert of evidence arrives, it not only validates our psychic or spiritual knowing but also restores and deepens our faith in the unseen forces at work. This sets the stage for recognizing the subtle yet profound ways in which validation can present itself in our spiritual journey.
Recognizing Validation for Psychic and Spiritual Knowing
Validation for our psychic and spiritual knowing comes in many forms. For example, you might think of a loved one and moments later see a symbolic reminder of them, such as a specific flower or a song on the radio. Synchronicities, intuitive nudges, and even messages from spirit guides or loved ones who have crossed over serve as confirmation.
One day, I sat with a client who wanted to know how to rid her home of ghosts disturbing her whenever she tried to relax--no matter where she lived. As I looked inwardly and saw the entities in her house, I recognized earthbound beings—souls with unfinished business stuck on the earthly planes. I realized that my client had clairvoyant abilities and explained that her ability to see them was a gift, not a burden. This realization validated her psychic gift and affirmed her unique ability to perceive energies beyond the physical realm. I offered her guidance and a way to reframe the experience: these beings turned to her for the light she carried. She could consciously discern how to work with these entities and regain her relaxing space with this understanding. This reframing not only empowered her but also demonstrated how spiritual tools and awareness could transform fear into clarity and purpose.
Recognizing these validations requires a heightened sense of awareness and trust in the process. It also involves discerning between the voice of our higher self and the chatter of the "monkey mind" – those limiting thoughts or beliefs that hold us back. By learning to quiet the mind and align with higher vibrations, we create space to notice and honor these validations.
These practices not only help clear mental and emotional clutter but also prepare us to engage deeply with tools for alignment with the higher self. When working with clients or in personal practice, I’ve often observed how synchronized events, recognition of energies, and the application of spiritual tools amplify this process.
Tools for Alignment with the Higher Self
Staying grounded and aligned with our higher self is essential for clear spiritual practice. The wisdom traditions from around the world offer diverse perspectives on the soul, higher self, and phases or levels of consciousness. These teachings not only provide a rich foundation for understanding our spiritual tools but also show their relevance across cultures. They highlight the universal nature of spiritual truths, demonstrating how these tools can be adapted and applied to meet the diverse needs of individuals across traditions.
Below are some of the tools I use to remain in alignment, along with their practical applications:
1. Grounding Techniques
Grounding serves as the foundation of spiritual practice, providing stability and a sense of presence essential for deeper alignment. It helps bridge the physical and spiritual realms, creating the foundation needed to connect with and embody the wisdom of the higher self. Grounding connects us to the Earth’s energy, stabilizing our spiritual practice. Techniques include:
Root Visualization: Imagining roots growing from the soles of your feet into the Earth, anchoring you.
Physical Grounding: Walking barefoot on natural surfaces or holding grounding stones like hematite or black tourmaline.
Breathwork: Focusing on deep, rhythmic breathing to center yourself in the present moment.
2. Golden Suns or Golden Light
The use of golden light is a powerful visualization technique for energy clearing and revitalization. Envision a golden sun above your head, filling your entire being with warm, radiant light. This practice not only aligns you with divine energy but also replenishes your energetic field, bringing clarity and peace.
3. Center of Head Techniques
The center of the head is the seat of neutrality and clear vision. To practice:
Bring your attention to the center of your head, behind the forehead, and between the ears.
Imagine observing your thoughts without attachment.
Use this space to access your higher self and make decisions from a place of clarity.
Advanced Spiritual Tools for Validation and Alignment
Building on foundational tools, my advanced practice incorporates techniques that navigate the spiritual path with greater depth and precision. These advanced tools represent a natural progression, expanding upon the skills and awareness cultivated through foundational practices.
Acting as if: Embody the highest version of yourself as if it’s already realized, aligning your energy with that reality.
Letting Go of Time and Location: Understanding how to work with the fluid nature of time and space to receive insights and validation.
Calling in the Highest Divine Authority: Invoking the presence of divine wisdom and guidance to ensure your actions align with the highest good.
Thinking in Terms of Oneness and Energy: Viewing yourself and others as expressions of divine energy, fostering compassion and understanding.
Seeing Each Other in the Light: Holding the vision of others in their highest potential, even during challenging interactions.
Overcoming Limiting Beliefs and the Monkey Mind
A significant aspect of spiritual work involves recognizing and overcoming the "monkey mind." This chatter often manifests as self-doubt, fear, or limiting beliefs. Here are steps to assert higher vibrational truth:
Identify Limiting Thoughts: Notice when negative or limiting thoughts arise and acknowledge them without judgment.
Reframe: Replace these thoughts with affirmations or truths aligned with your higher self.
Embodied Practice: Act upon these higher truths in your thoughts, feelings, and actions, knowing that every choice contributes to your energetic reality.
Universal Wisdom and the Higher Self
Different cultures and traditions offer varied frameworks for understanding the higher self, enriching our perspective on spiritual practices. Whether drawing from the Atman, Buddha-nature, or Indigenous teachings, these frameworks guide us toward inner clarity and connection with the divine. In my work as a spiritual medium, I’ve seen how these universal truths manifest uniquely for each individual, yet they all point to the same source of divine wisdom.
Closing Thoughts
Spiritual work is a journey of faith, trust, and alignment with the divine. By employing these tools and practices, we strengthen our connection to the higher self, recognize validation in our experiences, and learn to navigate life with grace and clarity. As we move forward, remember that every step contributes to our unfolding spiritual path, no matter how small.
