Partner with your Higher Self. Learn the voice of your Higher Self, from the voice of your Negative Ego. How do you do this? Well, some of us are so adept at conversation with our Negative Ego that we don‘t think we can hear the voice of our Higher Self, and so we just allow the negative mind chatter to drive us to a place of confusion, doubt and fear. How do we stop a catch-22 of negativity that just seems to go on and on and on?

The first thing to do is say a positive affirmation like “I love and approve of myself.” Because if nothing else were true but that you loved and approved of yourself, what else would matter? All our grief and misery about ourselves and our lives is because we don‘t love and approve of ourselves. We don‘t even know that we don‘t, beyond the fact that we are constantly beating ourselves up and telling ourselves how bad we are. Well, let‘s not focus on that—that‘s in the past and of the past. We are in the future and of the future, and here in this incredibly magical future we have methods and ways to remove guilt, shame and indecision.

How do we find direction? Using books and cards is helpful when you don‘t think you can hear or listen to the voice from within. Actually, anything can be a form of divination when you intend it to, a movie, a book—open to any page—or those items that are created specifically to give guidance, like Runes, Tarot, the many types of Oracle Cards that are now available. Each time we use them we get what we need, because the Universe speaks to us in many languages, in all languages. You can decide which language, style or form works for you—and this can change with your mood and your focus.

I have made suggestions of books and tools that Sutton and I have used over the past two decades and go back to over and over again. Ask your Higher Self to guide you to choose any form and go with it. Remember to say your affirmations; daily, upon rising and whenever you hear something in your mind that you don‘t want to be true. Repeat: “I love and approve of myself.” It will immediately change the energy and allow you to find peace enough to move to the next level of centering. Add gratitude; an attitude of gratitude is like a miracle drug, because it immediately draws more to be grateful for. When you are grateful you manifest exponentially your good. It‘s a law.

Remember to have fun and be happy.

Love, Rita
