Seven Effective Tools to Connect with Your Higher Self
Spirit is energy, and energy is spirit. Taking it a step further, energy creates the space for spirit to reside, making its presence possible. The well-known law of conservation of energy teaches us that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
By understanding the mechanics of energy, you can control the type of energy around you. You can choose to influence or be influenced, amplify or reduce, and ultimately be in control.
Nature is the greatest (re)source of energy, the realm where both the seen and unseen can coexist. The tools we are sharing below are not magical, they are natural tools. They can harness natural energy to help us reach or connect our higher self, in other words our inner being or spirit guides. These tools can amplify the right kind of energy to enable spiritual communication and overall well-being.
Here are seven tools anyone can use:
Water: Water is a universal conduit for energy. It’s usually used in rituals for cleansing, purification, and emotional balance. Simply having water around, whether in the form of a fountain, in a bowl, or even in a glass, can help stabilize and enhance your energy.
Candles: Lit candles are powerful tools for setting intentions and creating a sacred space. The flame represents transformation and the light can illuminate one’s spiritual path. Scented candles can add an extra layer of energy through their aromas.
Earth: Natural elements like sand, rocks, and soil ground us. They connect us to the earth’s stabilizing energy, promoting balance and grounding. Walking barefoot on the ground or incorporating earth elements into one’s environment can enhance one’s connection to their Higher Self.
Nzu (Kaolin or White Chalk): Kaolin is used in various spiritual practices for its purifying properties. It can be used in rituals to cleanse spaces, objects, or even oneself, to align energies and promote clarity and peace.
Incense: Burning incense is a common practice for cleansing spaces and raising vibrations. The aromatic smoke purifies the air and can help focus the mind during meditation or prayer. Different scents have different energetic properties, so choose ones that align with your intentions.
Bells: The sound of bells can break up stagnant energy and clear negative vibrations. Ringing a bell can cleanse a space, uplift the energy, and help in focusing your spiritual practices. However, be mindful of noise sensitivity, especially in shared spaces.
Ose Oji (Alligator Pepper): Alligator pepper is used in many African spiritual traditions for protection and blessings. It’s believed to hold powerful energies that can ward off negativity and invite positive forces. Using it in rituals or keeping it in your space can enhance protective energies.
Practical Tips for Using These Tools
How you use these tools matters. Here are some tips to maximize their effectiveness:
Set Intentions: Clearly state your intentions when using any of these tools. This aligns your energy with your desired outcomes.
Environment: Keep your environment clean and clutter-free to allow energy to flow freely.
Regular Use: Integrate these tools into your daily life, not just during spiritual practices. Having natural elements like water, candles, or earth around you can continuously enhance your energy.
Safety Considerations
Candles: Always turn off candles before leaving the room and keep them away from flammable items.
Bells: Be considerate of noise levels if you have neighbors or thin walls.
Incense: Be mindful of any allergies or smoke regulations, and choose scents that are pleasant and safe for you.
By incorporating these tools into your daily routine, you can create an environment that supports spiritual growth and overall well-being. Remember, we are all spiritual beings, and these natural elements can help us maintain a harmonious connection with our higher selves.
