How to Meditate for Inner Guidance

Cultivating Stillness: A Practical Guide to Inner Connection

Discover a straightforward, grounded meditation technique designed to quiet mental chatter, elevate your energy, and strengthen the link with your Higher Self.

If you choose to meditate to develop your inner guidance, this is the foundational technique you should practise. Although the concept is very easy to understand, most people initially find it quite challenging to execute.

The key to this specific meditation is clearing your mind of all thoughts—a difficult task in our fast-paced modern world. However, it is an incredibly effective practice, particularly on days that have left you feeling overwhelmed or stressed.

Elevating Your Spiritual Vibration

Within our auras, we all have a spiritual body that exists alongside our physical body. This spiritual body vibrates at a certain frequency. The faster and higher it vibrates, the easier it becomes to naturally contact your Spirit Guides and teachers. Through dedicated meditation, you will steadily increase the rate at which your spiritual body vibrates.

There also exists within each of us what is known as the Higher Self. Your Higher Self is the purest essence of who you are; it is the part of you that holds deep, universal understanding, even if you are not always aware of it on a conscious, physical level. The primary goal of this meditation is to merge closer with this Higher Self.

When you are in close connection with your Higher Self:

• Everyday issues and problems become much easier to handle.
• Your natural intuition grows significantly stronger.
• You receive spiritual knowledge and insights with greater clarity.
• You cultivate a calm, fulfilled, and genuinely happy soul.

When you practise this type of meditation, you will generally open your eyes feeling better about life, often without knowing exactly why. Heavy problems suddenly seem lighter, and lingering stress is replaced by deep relaxation. The long-term results are profound inner peace and a feeling of oneness with all things.

The Technique

Read these steps over a few times until you are comfortable with the process. Once you understand the procedure, take a few minutes to practise.

1. Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed. Switch off your phone and any other distractions.
2. Sit or lie down in a comfortable position, ensuring your spine is completely straight. Do not cross your arms, legs, or ankles (unless you are sitting on the floor in a traditional cross-legged posture), as crossing your limbs can block the natural flow of energy.
3. Gently close your eyes.
4. Before commencing, you may wish to say a simple prayer or set an intention, asking a Higher Power filled with Light and Love to protect and guide you. This ensures your Spirit Guides are present to assist with your meditation.
5. Feel the energy surround you. Allow a sense of peace to flow through your physical body, and then begin.
6. In your mind’s eye, focus your attention on the space just between and slightly above your eyes, on your forehead.
7. Start to meditate by thinking about absolutely nothing. Gently clear your mind of all thoughts and mental chatter.
8. Continue to concentrate on that single point between your eyes whilst breathing deeply and slowly.
9. When you intuitively feel it is time to “wake up”, gently open your eyes.
10. Give thanks for the peace and guidance received.

A Simple Prayer for Meditation

“Higher Power filled with Light and Love, please surround me in your Light and your Love. Protect me while I meditate and help me to raise my vibration so that I may become closer to you. Help me to find peace and to become one with my Higher Self. Amen.”

Essential Reminders for Success

• Consciously release all worldly problems and worries before you begin.
• Do not actively ask your Guides to appear or tell you anything during this specific exercise.
• Do not seek out visual information; if you see anything, simply acknowledge it and release it from your mind.
• The goal is to release all thoughts.
• Concentrate solely on feeling the presence of absolute peace.
• If mental chatter starts up (and it will!), do not be frustrated. Gently release it and return to the stillness. That is all there is to it.

As mentioned earlier, silencing the mind takes regular practise. Like anything worthwhile, consistency is key. Some people prefer to use a guided audio meditation to start with, as it can be easier to follow an inner journey than to totally clear the mind in silence. Others prefer to sit within a development group to share the collective energy. Everyone’s meditation journey is a deeply personal experience, so experiment a little and discover what works best for your own spiritual growth.
