Connect with the Higher Mind – Think Up

By John Holland

The more we stay connected to our higher mind, which we also call the Universe, the source, or spirit, the more we strengthen and build that essential bridge between ourselves and our higher consciousness. While we’re all born connected to this divine awareness, we have a tendency as we grow up, to pull away from what was once so natural. When we become disconnected from our higher mind, the source that once nourished us is all too often replaced with another source or substitute, as we forge connections and dependencies with food, alcohol, or nicotine, or even when we become co-dependent on someone or even work – hence the term workaholic. Many of us spend our lives trying to fill that void which was created when the link was broken.

It really is possible to get reacquainted with your higher mind again. As you develop the ability to raise yourself above the conscious mind and all its impulses and distractions, you’ll find that place of stillness and peace, and possibly … some answers. This is the part of yourself where you can gain a sense of the bigger picture. It’s the place where mundane details have less significance. It’s also the part of you that wants nothing more than to assist you in being happy, and to put you on the right path for your psychic and spiritual development. So the message of this newsletter is this: When you face difficult situations in your life, try to remember to consult with your higher mind. Let yourself and your higher mind communicate with each other once again. After all, it’s always been there and always will be part of who you are.

Many years ago, when I was studying and developing as a medium in England, I was fortunate to learn the following technique, which deals with the same principle. It’s another clear example of how we draw back from our higher mind. I learned from my British tutors that when people are worried, depressed, and unsure of themselves or confused, they have a tendency to think down. How often have you heard someone say, “I’m feeling down”, or “I can’t get out of my own way”? What they’re really saying is that they can’t get out of their own head and their thoughts seem to be acting as a negative barrier in their own mind and body. When this happens, we tend to repeatedly dwell on the same thought, like an old broken record, leading to stress and worry, which can often result in a sense of confusion. I know many of you will relate to this. The tutors taught us how to think up. Even when you’re feeling down, try to bring your thoughts up and out of your body. Think UP – Think POSITIVE!
