If your spiritual growth is important to you, whether you're looking for a lasting sense of inner peace, contact with guidance, an ability to visit nonphysical reality, or Self-realization, we promise you that you can achieve it without giving up your family, career, and hobbies to live in a monastery. If you've tried before and your efforts have come up short, or if you've made great progress and want to accomplish more, you might feel frustrated when someone tells you that access to spirit and a meaningful connection with the Divine are your birthright and are available to you in every moment. If they're so readily available, how come you're still searching? Odd as it may seem, if you're still searching, chances are you're looking for the wrong thing. It's not that you don't know what you want. Or that you haven't tried hard enough, consistently enough, or long enough. It's subtler than that. If you've tried self-help books, CDs, or workshops and you're still looking, chances are it has little to do with the excellence of the materials or the effectiveness of the techniques that you've tried. It means you're looking for— Nouns Instead of Verbs It's a common tendency to focus on the thing you desire, rather than focusing on experiencing the thing you desire. The distinction may seem subtle, but it can make a dramatic difference in the outcome of your efforts. When you direct your attention toward an object or an outcome, your aim is focused on something outside of yourself. And when your attention is directed elsewhere you wander unnecessarily, only stumbling into what you want occasionally, rather than enjoying consistent results. At Higher Self Guides we teach you to focus less on what you want and more on what you're experiencing in the present moment. Paradoxically, that's the fastest way to start enjoying the very thing you wanted in the first place. It's the Experience that Counts By focusing on what you are actually experiencing in the present moment you maximize the opportunities that are immediately available to you. Not only do you begin to notice and take advantage of the fleeting beauties and sensations of life, but you also gain insights into how your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs color and create your experiences. And with practice you learn to delve deeper still until you become aware of what lies beyond your own thoughts and physical senses. Hi, we’re Matthew & Janet Joyce, founders of Higher Self Guides. We've helped people just like you to access their Higher Selves and integrate meaningful spirituality into their everyday lives. If you want to gain a deeper understanding of your Self and accelerate your spiritual development, you're in the right place. Having walked the path of Self-realization personally we've deconstructed the process and created a structured training sequence that takes you from exactly where you are in the present moment and guides you systematically through a series of exercises that emphasize direct personal experiences at each stage along the way toward your ultimate goal. Each step builds on the one before as you learn specific techniques for focusing and directing your awareness in order to create the life experiences you desire. It doesn't matter whether you're seeking to reduce stress, improve your meditations, or manifest new life circumstances. The underlying principles are fundamentally the same. We've studied clinical psychology and ancient spiritual techniques from around the world and simplified them into a process that teaches you: 1) how to identify what's in your current awareness, 2) how to clarify the new experience you want, 3) how to bring desired experiences about for the first time, and 4) how to memorize those experiences so you can bring them about consistently.
