Some have it, others don't - a vision of their life .
In my opinion, people who have a clear vision of their life live a more intense and fulfilling life. Life doesn't feel like it's just happening to you. You tap into your creative power and consciously create your world. It is of course important where your vision(s) come from. Do they come from your family, external influences like Instagram etc. or from your heart?
When a strong vision for your life comes from your heart and you follow it, you are on your soul's path and everything will always happen through you at the right time and in the right place.
For this reason, we are dealing with exactly this topic this month. We are giving you valuable ideas, tips and a ritual that will help you find and live your heart's vision(s). Of course, the cacao ritual is a very important companion here. It takes you into your heart and also opens you up to your intuition. This will enable you to let your vision come to you from a place of great connection. For this, we are also giving you a powerful cacao ritual below.
Your Vision - from Existence to Life
A vision is like your North Star that always helps you stay on course. This is especially valuable in difficult and chaotic times. A vision makes you really live your life and not just exist. We all have 24 hours in a day. Every day is a little life. Why shouldn't we consciously fill this time with things that come from our hearts and for which we are here.
In addition to the heart, the so-called higher self is a reliable source when it comes to questions about your life vision and your soul's path.
What is the higher self?
The self is what you are now in this moment. You perceive yourself, that is, you observe yourself, your feelings, thoughts and actions. This creates the overall picture of the “self”.
The higher self, also called your higher consciousness, carries the highest vibrating frequency of you within it. It originates from the universal source and is said to know all the answers to the questions we ask ourselves in our earthly life.
The higher self is like an inner compass that comes from your highest wisdom and always guides you on your path through life to your heart's desires. Many people think that the higher self is an energy outside of our physical body, but the higher self is the deepest core of our soul essence and not something that is separate from us . We feel connected and as one when we acknowledge this and connect with our higher self. The higher self is associated with the spiritual or divine principle and particularly affects the upper chakras (throat, forehead and crown chakras).
In comparison, one could put the so-called "basic self". This part of us ensures our survival as human beings. It is not interested in personal development. The basic self in us is only concerned that we and our earthly instincts and needs are secure. The basic self can be assigned to the earthly principle and our animal part in us. The lower chakras in particular (root, sacral and solar plexus chakras) deal with the issues that belong to the lower self.
How do I get in touch with my higher self?
So what can you do to get in touch with your higher self? Create free space for yourself. Consciously block time in your calendar to do nothing. You can also meditate and ask your higher self for messages, go out into nature and always follow your joy. You can also find further ideas, tips and inspiration in the blog post “ Using Ritual Cacao to get in touch with your higher self ”.
The most important portal to get in touch with your higher self is your crown chakra. If you strengthen this energy center in your everyday life, it will be easier for you to connect with your higher self. You can do this as follows.
8 Tips to Strengthen Your Crown Chakra
Tip 1: Engage in spiritual topics, e.g. read books that broaden your human horizons.
Tip 2: Attend a spiritual retreat such as the Vipassana meditation retreat.
Tip 3: Use gemstones such as rock crystal or diamond in your meditation or wear them on your body as jewelry.
Tip 4: Practice Bhramari, humming breathing.
Tip 5: Inversion poses from yoga such as the headstand or the shoulder stand strengthen your crown.
Tip 6: Use essential oils as a room freshener or on the body (on the wrists or temples) such as frankincense or sore muscles sage.
Tip 7: Allow yourself to immerse yourself in complete silence again and again and listen to your inner voice, e.g. during a cacao ritual.
Tip 8: Tap the crown of your head with your fingertips every now and then to energize it.
How do I find my life vision? 5 tips for a clear vision
Once you have strengthened the connection to your heart and your higher self, you can use this new power to embark on the journey to your vision.
1. Know your values
Be aware of your values and write them down. They are the basis for your vision. To find and describe your values precisely, you can ask yourself what is important to you in your life and how you want to feel. Values can be, for example, freedom, love, health, etc. Choose 3-5 values that serve as the foundation for your life vision.
Once you have found your values, you can reflect on what you are currently doing is in line with these values and what is not.
2. Use the power of writing
Set your timer for 15 minutes and write in your journal . Write down everything that comes to you intuitively. You can ask yourself the following question: What is the vision for my life? Below you will also find some journaling questions that will help you find your vision. Once you have described your overarching vision, you can do the same for every area of your life.
3. Do a cacao ritual
With a cacao ritual you are particularly close to your heart and it is easier for you to see your heart's vision. We will give you a suitable cacao ritual for this below.
4. Create a vision board
See which images speak to your heart. Our subconscious, which is responsible for what we ultimately attract into reality, works through images and feelings. Your vision board helps you with exactly this visualization.
5. Feel & Visualize
Connect with your vision every day. Look at your vision board and bathe in the images and feelings that come up. You can also just close your eyes and let inner images arise. Important: You have to FEEL what it is like when you live your vision.
Journaling Questions for Vision Finding
In addition to the points mentioned above, these journaling questions can also help you find your vision:
✦ What inspires me and what makes my heart beat?
✦ What do I want to tell about my life when I am 90 years old and sitting in my rocking chair?
✦ What do I constantly have to think about and what keeps coming back to me?
✦ What does a fulfilled life mean to me?
✦ What activities make me feel like I am living my purpose?
✦ In which everyday moments do I feel most connected to my soul essence?
Transformation of limiting beliefs & conditioning
As already described, it is good and important to have an overarching vision of your life. Once you have this clear, you can create a vision for every area of your life. The clearer you are about what your heart desires, the more you will live the life that is made for you in every area.
There may be setbacks on the way to your vision. That's completely normal. However, if you have a strong vision, you won't let that discourage you. Sometimes our energy doesn't match our wishes. We can have beliefs like "That's too big for me" or "I'm not good enough". The most beautiful vision board is of no use if your system doesn't allow you to draw the images into your life. This is where inner work can be done to transform these beliefs and conditioning.
Conversely, engaging with your own vision also helps you uncover limiting beliefs.
Another obstacle can be the lack of ability to receive. This can also be learned and trained. To do this, you can focus more on your feminine energy.
Your vision is not about a fixed, static destination. Your vision describes a journey full of emotions. You can imagine it as if you wanted to fly from here to Hawaii. You know what you are setting off for and where you are going. However, you do not know how much turbulence, sunshine, pleasant conversations, good food, etc. this journey will be filled with. Turbulence can take you off your original route. However, if you have a clear vision, you will always get your plane back on course. The most important thing here is to enjoy all the ups and downs and know that they are part of your vision.
Cacao Ritual “Heart Vision & Higher Self”
Feel free to use the following Cacao ritual to connect with your heart's vision and your higher self:
Prepare yourself a cup of Ritual Cacao * and make yourself comfortable in your favorite place. Also have something ready to write or draw with.
Sit upright and close your eyes. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Feel how you become more and more at peace with yourself with each breath.
Take your cacao cup in your hands and hold it in front of your heart. Feel free to use the following intention for your ritual and whisper it into your cacao: "I am open and ready to connect with my higher self and receive my heart's vision."
Then start drinking your cacao sip by sip and feel how the cacao medicine will support you in finding your vision.
Now direct your attention to your heart and your crown chakra and imagine a golden ray of light growing from your heart over the crown of your head up into the infinity of the universe and how you connect with your higher self via this pillar of light. Now ask your higher self to show itself to you and guide you. Your higher self can present itself to you in any form: as a human figure, as an animal or as a pure form of energy.
Ask yourself: "What is my heart's vision and how can I make it a reality?" Wait and see what kind of message (e.g. images, words or feelings) your higher self sends you.
Finally, thank your heart, your higher self and all the forces that supported you in this ritual.
Slowly return to the here and now by beginning to gently move your body and deepen your breath again.
Finally, you can write down your heart's vision in your journal or paint it as a picture. Let your creativity run wild!
Be brave, fly, fly high, reach for the stars and enjoy the journey!
