How To Connect To Your Essence

Essence Makes Choices You Aren’t Aware Of

{If you haven´t already read it, check out the post What Is Your Essence}

Throughout your life, your essence makes many choices you are unaware of. Often these choices may cause discomfort to you or bring up resistance.

For example, your essence may infuse a different energy in your physicality, which causes a structural reintegration and quickly replaces and regenerates many of the cells existing within your skeletal structure. This brings an extra burden on the rest of your body, which you feel on a conscious level and do not like because it is not your conscious mind that has chosen it.

Going Beyond Resisting Your Essence

Most of you tend to resist any changes taking place within you energetically or on a physical level that you don't feel 100% in conscious control of and compliant with.

If there's anything going on with you on an essence (soul) level, you tend to put up some resistance to it, especially if you do not have intellectual awareness of it. This is part of your learning—to simply flow and move along with what is happening.

You Want To Feel In Control

In general, people tend to resist change. It's in some ways part of the physical plane experience. As humans, you want to understand, know and agree to anything that happens to you. You want to feel that you are more or less in control of the situation.

So when you're not 100% completely connected to essence—and only a few people are—then you will feel some elements of feeling out of control when essence prompts you, prods you, or welcomes certain energies that you do not have complete and total conscious awareness of.

Talking With Essence

Being more consciously aware of yourself on a deep essence level and the choices that you make in a wider scope of reality will help. But this can also draw you out of the present moment experience.

Having a wider perspective means being a little more objective. It's very difficult to maintain perfect objectivity when you are faced with making a choice that affects you on various levels—economically, socially, and emotionally—because you're invested with the outcome of the choice. It's part of being human.

How To Talk To Your Essence

Enlist Your Essence As An Ally Through Imaginary Conversations

You can, however, enlist your Self at an essence level as an ally and friend.

Have imaginary conversations with your Self on this wider perspective soul level. Simply talk about "if I make xxx choice, what will happen?" or "What choices are you trying to make on my behalf that I'm not aware of?”

Repeated Conversations Bring Closer Connection To Essence

The more conversation you invite and the more interaction you invite, the more closer connection to your essence you will naturally create.

It may seem silly at first—you may feel like you're talking to no one or talking to a voice in your head that you think does not exist—but we can assure you that for the majority of people, this is very helpful.

You are connecting with more of You. Your essence is your Self. Your essence is your Self.

Be Aware of Your Physical Responses

Aspects of meditation and meditational activities are also helpful in feeling at a physical level what is going on with you on an energetic level. It is revealing and enlightening for you when you have any increased conscious awareness of how your body reacts to stimuli and thoughts.

For instance, imagine that there is a person in your life who has been difficult. Your interactions with that person have been uncomfortable.

When you think about this person it provokes a physical response in you. You feel something in your body, and you can train yourself to become more aware of this physical response.

Once you are more aware of the physical response, you automatically have more control over the the response. You can, at some level, choose to have the response or not to have it.

Don’t Push Away The Response

We don't advocate pushing the response away. You'll likely want to accept this physical response.

Your body may be thinking, "this person causes me discomfort. When I think about them my stomach tightens and I get a sensation all over that feels very uncomfortable—and I associate that feeling with that person."

Pushing away the discomfort will not help, because even if you have disengaged yourself from the awareness of the response you will still have the physical response.

The energy in you still moves through your body in the same way, having the same (possibly) detrimental effects on your body, but you're now not aware of it. This can lead to many chronic health issues.

Instead, Fully Acknowledge The Response

You don't want to push it away—but you do want to acknowledge it more deeply and thoroughly. Instead of having that particular response, perhaps you want to create a different response in yourself when you think about this person.

For instance, with awareness and conscious creation, you can create a sensation of floating on a cloud in the sky where you have no cares. That would feel a lot better to you than the tightening in the stomach and overall tension that you are used to associating with that person.

Long Term Effects Of Creating a New Response From Talking To Your Essence

What will happen after you begin to teach yourself to respond to your thoughts of that person by thinking of yourself as floating on cloud up in the sky?

You will have a different effect on the energy moving through your body. Then the energetic signals that you give out all around you—including to that person that you think of from time to time—are going to change as well. Instead of being full of tension and fear, the signals will be more peaceful.

Eventually this has a very different effect in your interaction with that person, how you view that person—and how they view you. It creates further ripples amongst your friends and community that help create further changes in your life and on the planet.

You can apply this technique to any situation in your life.

I’ve spent the past ten days in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, far from my present home in the northeast but closer, much closer, to my true spiritual home, and during this time one of my specific goals was to immerse myself into a deeper connection with Nature. Though my home is in a semi-rural area, affording me an opportunity to frequently bike through rolling hills amid cornfields and farmhouses, I really don’t feel all that connected with the nature element of it usually. Perhaps it’s because I don’t connect energetically with the space, or resist a deeper connection; perhaps it’s the human element in a long-inhabited space that has overwritten the elements of nature, but in any case I felt a huge difference in my little cabin in the forest, a short walk from the beach, easily moving into a space of love and appreciation for Nature and my place within it. I spent several hours roaming the trails through the forest, meandering along the beach, and standing in the rain under the trees at night.

And then I upped the ante considerably and spent some time in a different forest last night.

I entered the forest under a nearly-full moon, bright on a cloudless night, and instantly I felt a different sort of welcoming, an embrace, an invitation. Through connecting with the trees who are themselves all connected and always aware of that connection to one another, to the earth, and to All That Is, I could reach back into time and feel roots tapping into the dawning of human consciousness on the planet with such primordial innocence that it took my breath away.

At the same time I was aware of every possibility that continues to stretch before us in time: possibilities for each one of us and all the myriad possibilities available at any given moment, every choice, every road taken and not taken, and I felt vast, knowing that I was a part of everything that ever has been and everything still yet to come. I was as tall as the trees and as bright as the moon, and I turned my face toward her, accepting the spotlight, fully acknowledging my completeness and perfection.

To say this was a joyous and magical experience doesn’t quite do it justice.

But it served as a wonderful reminder, one that I will take back to my home with me and one that I offer you now, that our connection with Nature is an essential of simply being human. It’s part of us, and to deny it is to deny part of Self.

Afterwards, I channeled this:

There is of course value in connecting with animals, trees, and other elements of what you consider to be “nature”. These elements, are of course, part of your home, part of your world, and are as such connected to you, to humans, in a very intimate way. You share space. You share air. You share resources. Not only that, but you share in the creation of your world, the global creation of the reality you know as life on the physical plane. And because of that, there is an undying connection between you as a human and ALL of the so-called “natural” elements of Nature.

Some of you feel this connection more deeply, more emotionally, than others. Some feel a return, when confronted with Nature, especially in her most raw state, to that innocent and childlike state of simply Being, existing, that lies dormant within all of you. And as such, you feel it deeply when one of nature’s children, one element of the intricate tapestry that is constantly being woven and re-created, moves through natural transition into another state. There is, for you, a deep sense of loss, as there is the recognition not only of the timelessness of transformation and the cycles of life on the planet, but also of the transference of human-type connection to an element of nature. You can mostly only experience connection with nature by transferring those feelings to a more human perspective, and when loss of an element of nature, such as a pet or tree, occurs, there is transference to the human state of grief.

We have mentioned the energetic connections between you and your pets and we wish to elaborate. Again, not only is there a very real symbolic connection here (discovery of Self, of Love, of perspective: these things were gained through and with your interaction), but also there HAVE in most cases indeed been some past-life associations. Though most animals live lives in mainly hive-type soul arrangements, there is a constancy of energy that can flow generation after generation through one individual animal to another, and even of course crossing boundaries of species. There has been for many of you, then, a common thread through many lifetimes of connection with various elements of nature, and it is this thread, now running through you and the pets you love, that has touched this present lifetime.

The lessons from connection to Nature are many and varied and often depend on the individual, but regardless of perspective there is ALWAYS growth opportunity through human connection with Nature. After all, it is your home. It is your LIFE. To deny Nature is denying an aspect of Self, and to fully EMBRACE Nature, to ACCEPT it in all its splendor, ugliness, and beauty, is a HUGE step in actually accepting your Self.
