I have spent the last  35 years  assisting private clients, married couples, families, and commercial partnerships. As the author of several books on love, abundance and recovery, my journey has been deeply fulfilling. Initially, I worked as a traditional psychotherapist but found the results  dissatisfying . For the past eighteen years, I have been dedicated to a powerful six-step psychological and spiritual healing technique known as  Inner Bonding . Through this journey, I learned that establishing a direct line of communication with a higher power is essential for the therapeutic process.

It is well-known that individuals in recovery from various addictions—whether to alcohol, drugs, food, spending, gambling, sex, television, or codependence—need to establish a relationship with their  Higher Power  to move forward in their healing journey. In my practice, I've encountered many people who have diligently followed the Twelve Steps for years without experiencing a spiritual awakening or a personal encounter with their Higher Power.

Every one of us yearns for a direct connection to our inner Teacher. For the sake of our sobriety and personal growth, we need to learn how to make decisions that serve our highest good, establish healthy limits, create fulfilling lives, and realize our deepest desires. Everyone is born with the inherent ability to communicate with the divine, in whatever form that divine may take. However, few of us have mastered this ability consistently. You might be surprised to learn just how simple it really is.

The spiritual world operates on a higher frequency than our material plane on Earth. To communicate with the spiritual world, we need to learn how to increase our  frequency . Imagine a room full of people laughing and smiling; this environment feels light and has a high frequency. Conversely, a room full of angry, uptight people feels heavy and has a low frequency.

To increase our vibrational frequency, we must commit to learning with Spirit how to love ourselves and others. Here are several methods to help boost your frequency:

1. Set a Clear Intention Your intention is the most powerful tool for increasing your frequency. In any given moment, choose to learn with God/Spirit how to love yourself and others, rather than shielding yourself from pain and escaping responsibility for your feelings. This mindset shift is crucial because our intentions shape our experiences and open us up to spiritual growth and higher frequencies.

2. Embrace Healthy Habits Keep your body clean. Your body's energy system is influenced by what you consume. Avoid drugs, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, sugar, heavy foods, and any food tainted with pesticides, preservatives, or artificial sweeteners. Maintaining a clean and healthy diet supports your energy levels and helps to keep your vibrational frequency high, enabling better spiritual communication and overall well-being.

3. Engage in Spiritual Practices

• Pray : Sincere prayer can significantly raise your vibrational frequency. By expressing gratitude and seeking divine guidance, you open yourself up to higher frequencies and deeper spiritual insights.
• Chant : Chanting a mantra or singing can help access higher vibrations. The repetitive nature of these activities helps to focus the mind and elevate the spirit, creating a powerful connection to the divine.
• Dance : Fast, repetitive movements, such as in Native American drumming dances, can elevate your frequency. Physical movement, especially when rhythmically aligned with spiritual intent, helps to release stagnant energy and raise your overall vibration.
• Connect with Nature : Spend time in nature, among trees, flowers, rivers, lakes, oceans, deserts, or mountains. Nature has a naturally high frequency that can help to balance and elevate your own, providing a serene and supportive environment for spiritual growth.

4. Use Your Imagination Imagination is a divine gift. By engaging your imagination, you can connect with your inner wellspring of original thought and insight, which is crucial for spiritual guidance. This practice involves trusting the intuitive insights and creative ideas that come to you, recognizing them as potential communications from your higher self or divine source.

5. Smudge Your Space Burning incense or smudging with dried plants like sage, pine, cedar, and lavender can clear negative energy and raise your space's vibration. This ancient practice, used by various indigenous cultures, helps to purify your environment and create a conducive space for spiritual work.

6. Meditate with Music Listen to soothing classical or meditative music to achieve a higher state of consciousness. Music has a profound effect on our emotional and energetic state, and selecting pieces that resonate with you can help to calm the mind, open the heart, and elevate your vibrational frequency.

Make it a habit to question yourself throughout the day: "To what end am I aiming? Do I want to learn how to love myself and others, or do I want to exert control over a situation?" This constant self-inquiry will help you tune into, feel, and see your own inner spiritual guidance. By regularly checking in with your intentions and adjusting them towards love and learning, you create a consistent pathway for higher frequency living.

Increasing your vibrational frequency and connecting with your Higher Power is essential for healing and personal growth. By incorporating these methods into your daily life, you can achieve a higher state of consciousness and a deeper connection with the divine.
