~ How To Get Started With Ascension ~

How do I Get Started in My Ascension Process?

What essentials are there for my ascension process, to get me started? To start off with, meditation is the most important component. Other practices and experiences, whether done alone or with others, activate your ascension process. Dedication to your practices makes the progress discernible. You may start to see visions and hear inner guidance as you further your journey. You feel yourself as a being of light, and as an energy body instead of as a physical being only. Your health improves and your mood lifts. You tap into states of bliss that you never imagined. Yet there can be emotional clearing as part of ascension which can be intense as you release the lower aspects of self and embody your higher self. Be prepared for a ride and an adventure. You get downloads with are bursts of information giving you sudden understandings of the nature of the universe. You begin to feel tuned into wild animals, plants, and with all of nature feeling as if you are one. A peace and calm comes over you that your friends may wonder about. You disconnect from drama. There is a stepping aside from role playing in your life, with less playing out of victim and persecutor and savior. You become your own savior. You become less judgmental of others and yourself, loving yourself more. Qualities such as forgiveness, compassion, and love are experienced within you more. You are able to stay in your center and cope when difficulty arises. You are always connected to source. Your life morphs into something more wholesome and more meaningful. You know you are meant to be here and have purpose. You start to discover that purpose and to unify with others of a similar vibration, and make a difference in the world, by being who you are. You remember yourself as who you really are, and in doing this, you are a trigger for others to remember who they are. Let the adventure begin! Welcome to the ascension journey of the Self.

How do I get started in my ascension process?

There are so many ways to begin. Follow your heart and inner intuition as to what information resonates with you. Let you own feeling of resonance with what we or anyone else are sharing be a guide. If you feel a connection and passion to something that feels right, follow that. Ultimately, we want to hear our own guidance within and let that guide us as a means to self-empowerment. We offer some suggestions to explore as a means of introduction.

Meditation is a foundation for your spiritual unfoldment and ascension. Meditation helps us to stop focusing on the outer world, and to tap into the inner world. All answers lie within. There is a rich world within each of us that can be cultivated so that it becomes a magical kingdom within. This magical kingdom would be the reflection of the outer world, in the inner world of the Self.

We can feel expanded states of consciousness through meditating. We find solutions to our problems. We start to feel divine guidance that may come in many forms. It may come as feeling and sensation in our body such as excitement. When we are on the path of our soul, we feel joy and excitement in many cases. We may see images that can be decoded similar to how we decode the meaning of dreams. Spirit speaks to us in pictures, in messages, in words, in songs, in synchronicity that we notice in the day. We can get connected to our guides and angels. We can ask them to help us all the time, throughout the day and for them to bring us guidance. You can see it as guides or angels that are guiding us, or aspects of ourselves, as our higher selves that are guiding us. All of life is connected as one whole being, so all is an aspect of ourselves. Universal love is based on this recognition of Self in another. We will move toward integrating our guides and guidance as us, within and not outside of us nor separate from us as we progress in the ascension path. Meditation practice is the basis for receiving the inner guidance for our ascension.

How do I start meditating? Many possibilities and methods are available. If you are new to this, guided audio meditations are a good way to begin. Listen to some guided meditation videos on Youtube with your eyes closed. This will help your capacity to see in a multidimensional way, meaning through your third eye or inner vision.

More on Meditation


Another way to meditate is before you go to sleep and when you first wake up, while you are in bed. It is okay to be lying down or you can sit. Get relaxed and tune inward. You can be in silence and see what happens for you if you commit to doing this daily or twice daily for even five minutes.

Have a meditation in which you read to yourself. It may call in your guides and angels. It may connect you to the sun and source creator. You may ask for healing from the 12 Sacred Rays. You may affirm your perfection of health and well-being. You may set intentions as the creator of your life. You may read I AM statements which affirm your divinity and perfection aligning you with your beloved I AM Presence. There are many other options and see our Invocations and Guided Meditations pages for ideas. This can give you the structure for that helps you start to connect to source and tune in. Did we mention that meditation can be fun and makes you high? Starting your day this way and it will color your day in a positive way. Keep at it every day, and you will experience something new in your being. Meditating with another person or persons can amplify the experience to a higher level, so give it a try. Also, please try different ways to meditate if one way does not work for you personally. How about customizing your ascension journey to you by creating your meditation experience?


Increasing your Vibration Spin

Your body vibrates at a certain frequency and meditation and other practices increase the frequency or speed of your vibration. A higher vibration feels better, like you are in the vortex. You have an energy body around your body, like an invisible sphere that spins around you depending on your vibrational frequency. This is what we mean when we say “increasing your vibrational spin.” We mean that the sphere of energy around you is going fast and thus you have a higher frequency.


You also have chakras, or energy centers in your body, your energy field and also above and below you. The Soul Star chakra is above your head and the Earth Star chakra below your root. The best way that we have discovered to increase the spin of your energy body around you is to maintain your vertical connection. This is a like an invisible cord that goes from source creator, though the Central Sun and the Sun in our solar system, and down through your Soul Star chakra into your crown. This feels like a golden cord connecting to source and it goes right down the center of you through your Root Chakra at the bottom of your torso, the perineum, and down into the earth. Imagine it traveling to the core of Mother Earth. We have a special meditation for this vertical connection between Source Creator and the center of Mother Earth. By affirming your connection in meditation by feeling it, and meditating and visualizing it; you get the spin going. This raises your vibrational frequency, the level of joy you feel, and also it allow you to be connected to source through the Soul Star and other chakras above your head. It is like being tapped into the universal mind in which all information can come through in meditation when you are in an expanded state of being through doing your practices. We suggest some things here, but there are many options to discover for yourself in the realm of meditation and raising your frequency. Divine guidance comes through when you maintain your vertical connection and increase your spin. This is an essential awareness practice for ascension as your non-physical ascension team of guides and angels wish to convey messages to you. You can better receive them when your spin is up, and also your multidimensional sight (clairvoyance) will come in more strongly.


Releases

The Ascension process involve the release of old habits and patterns so we can be completely different and also free from the conditioning of the past that holds us into the Third Dimension and the Matrix. Certain release statements go a long way to energetically releasing us from old energies and burdens we may have taken on. It is possible that many of us have taken on energetic and emotional burdens that were not even ours as a way to serve as our agreement for being here. These burdens, which may feel emotional, may feel like they are ours but are really collective ones that we may have taken on, even taking them on in service. We can release it all right now and move on, and move forward on our path. There are cords, or linkages that we have with energies, beings, and corporations that may not be in our highest good and that hold us back from shining our full light. They are read aloud, usually three times. We insert our name or names that we have gone by in the release statements. They are a way to break contracts that we may have agreed to in this lifetime or other lifetimes that no longer serve us. A feeling of freedom and relief arises and possibly healing from doing this practice of reading release statements on a regular basis, and some people do them daily. See some sample releases to read on our page and please try them out and see what you feel from doing so.


Invocations

Invocations are said aloud and read, and you can visualize and feel the meaning of the words as you do so. It is an opportunity to reprogram you being to the truth of who you are. You bring the reality of your higher self downward and into your body vehicle. Doing so allows you to consciously identify with who you really are using the intent of the invocation to effect change within and also in the outer world. An invocation is a way to set the tone and enter meditation. See our page on Invocations (called Prayers, Decrees & Affirmations) with examples to use in your practice. You are also encouraged to make them for yourself which would be more customized to you.

Spending time in Nature

Being in nature is being without so much energetic interference. The resonance of the earth is very healing. The elemental spirits and life force are strong in nature compared to the city and more man made environments. Being in the beauty of nature on a regular basis can help you get more in balance. Go for a walk and place your feet or body on the earth. Conect with the consciousness of plants, of water, of the earth, the sun, the wind, and trees while you are outdoors. Give thanks and honor other forms of life as yourself.


Sacred Sites

Sacred Sites are vortexes, they are on Ley Lines, and they are places that will raise your frequency and activate you with light codes. You have chakras and acupuncture points on your body and Mother Earth also has these Sacred Sites in special spots all around the world. There is a crystalline grid around the planet. The sites are chakra points that emanate energy. You may receive frequencies and downloads for you. Visiting can also put you into an experience of releasing what needs to be let go of which can be intense. You may be walking your etheric footprints from past lives by visiting them. They definitely have an effect for those who wish to tap into the energetic potential by visiting them. They are triggers and they offer activations to those who are a match to receiving them. That being said, know that you are sacred space and all that exists is sacred space as a part of God or allof creation. Follow your instincts on where you should be and where you should go.


Disconnect from the Matrix

The Matrix, or the popular culture of society along with corporations and the government have hands in conditioning us a certain way. Being aware of this and not buying into the programming that the Matrix helps us to transcend and move beyond the illusions of the Third Dimensional reality. We are called to disconnect from the Matrix. Letting go of aspects of the old paradigm that are not equitable, just, or fair make more room for us individually and collectively to adopt a new paradigm based on love which is the New Earth.

How to Disconnect from the Matrix

To disconnect from the Matrix, we can do many things. Stopping watching and reading the news, which is fabricated, keeps us in a state of fear is a step in that direction. Gradually more awareness that we embody effects the lives we live and the choices we make in our parenting, our work, our food consumption, and what we buy, among other things. Our over consumerism without mindfulness can keep us locked in a cycle of of our own enslavement through making us have to work a job to pay for things we have been conditioned to think are necessary for a happy life. We also have to find the balance in this time space reality in supporting ourselves so that we have what we need. We are called to share extra with those without what they need. Being conscious, within the Matrix, we have more choice and personal and then collective power. It is a matter of being conscious of the Matrix and our conditioning, consumption, and reliance. It is not that we need to hide from the world, but interact and be in it shining our light and our awareness of what is really going on. That may be without words, but from the frequency of who we are as much as what we say. When we go through a geopolitical awakening to what the Matrix is and how it works, it can make us sad and also angry. It does not assist our ascension to blame or point fingers at anybody outside. It is a challenge to return to a high vibration of love when we have seen the truth of what has been done. We are here to see the truth and return earth to be the Garden of Eden again.

It is a challenge to witness how the Matrix works and the suffering of humans and other beings inflicted on so many on earth. We are here together, carrying the Elohim vibration, and also as Boddhisatvas who vow to set everyone free to no longer suffer.

In the process of our ascension journey, we have also learned that coming into unity and in Divine Council, we can bend the bars of the Matrix. We can change the world together allowing ourselves to be divine instruments with assistance from the higher realms. We can heal, remove pollution, bring love and assistance to the planet in so many ways that we have just begun to tap into.


Tuning into Positivity

A great way to start each day is to listen to positive words that inspire, or to read spiritual words or listen to music that uplifts us. It is a practice to tune into positive thoughts and words. It really helps us make a difference in how we feel and reprograms us. It is an antidote to the news, to any fear programming that the Matrix will imbue. Listening to Abraham Hicks Youtube videos that are Rampages is a great way to feel positive and hear inspiring words. Abraham is a council of light and a collective of higher beings channeled through Esther Hicks. Find what feels positive and inspiring to you.


Focus on the Heart

The journey of ascension is a journey from having the mind be in charge. It is a journey to the heart being in charge of the self and decision making along with communication. The heart brings us into oneness with one another. The heart has an intelligence beyond the brain. The high heart is a chakra located just above the heart chakra. Feeling this area in the chest and pushing it upwards is a practice toward living from the heart and cultivating heart awareness. If you are going through challenging emotions,” it will be a great idea to push up into your high heart and be aware of the physical sensation of that area. Negative emotions that arise can be sent to the high heart to be cleared and released. Give it a try next time you feel upset about something. When we feel upset, it is emotional guidance. It may be an old pattern that wants to be looked at as an observer and released. Our high heart chakra and heart guide us and assist us in getting out of duality thinking and the ego directing. This gives us more inner peace and relief and makes us easier to get along with. We can feel that connection to all things and all beings when we are in the heart. You can also receive a heart activation from a person who knows how to do this which can blast your heart open. Sound healers can also assist the heart opening. Guided meditations are available for heart opening. Our experience has been that many including us have felt our hearts were opened already but had an experience that really opened our heart. It is also important to cultivate an awareness about the heart being open. Notice when you feel charged, like arguing or debating, opinionated. This is a time to bring in the high heart awareness and learn to feel and speak from there. The heart is a barometer too. When we are in situations or places that don't feel good, we may notice our heart squeezing and contracting.

Discerning with the Heart as a Guide


We can discern with the heart about what is best for us. First, lift up your high heart and feel that area inside the body. Feel in your heart what the vibration of love feels like. It should feel good and uplifted when you do this. Now feel the opposite vibration, of war for example. Feel the word “war” in your heart and compare the feeling. It may feel contracted and smaller. This is the way to feel the difference of what feels open and expansive and good compared to what feels less good and contracted. Now that you feel the difference in your body, take this to your life. If you want to discern if a food, a person, or a place is correct for you; place the word of that into your heart using your imagination. Lift up the high heart space first. Next, feel how it effects your heart area, whether opening and or contracted.

The simple version of this way of feeling the heart is to feel what feels heavy to you, and what feels light to you. That which feels light is of truth and of a higher vibration that is aligned with the highest good, and you can use it as a barometer.


The Value of Collaborating with Others within a Pod

We have been shown the value of unity consciousness through forming pods to do spiritual and healing work together. Pod consciousness we explain here, and please learn more. Working with another person can allow your ascension process to be furthered, even if you are working through distance. Video technology allows those in resonance to meet one another face-to-face. Energy can be felt this way, as if you were right in the same room. Source wants to deliver templates, blueprints, and activations to those who meet in unity consciousness.


What are templates, blueprints, and activations?

Templates and blueprints are based on the original way we were meant to be which is fully multidimensional, healthy and well, with many psychic gifts. We are returning to this original divine blueprint through our ascension process with our intention and work together to bring these into our bodies, called down from source. The templates and blueprints are received as energy activations. We feel them in our bodies as vibration, as heat, and we may see with our second sight what they are. Templates are also for the earth's ascension and they are to be shared with others to activate their DNA to a higher level for their ascension process. Receiving activations from code carriers and sharing your own light codes in sacred space with others allow everyone to raise their vibration to a higher level. It allows wayshowers (people who are here to spread light) to raise the frequency of the planet. It allows us to transduce (step down) light frequencies from the sun and source so that they can be shared with other individuals that we come in contact with, especially when working together in sacred space and unity.

How do I get started collaborating with others?

First, create sacred space together. Each person can set an intention and share it. Then you can invite your angels and master guides and star beings that are aligned with unconditional love to to be present with you. See our Invocations and use this or your own for creating sacred space. You can ask to see the guides, and more importantly you can ask to hear their messages or receive images. At this point you may be wondering what you divine purpose is and how you can serve. You can ask for information from your guides. Your guides may want to send you frequencies to raise your vibration. They also have messages for you. You can call in your light codes, key codes, divine blueprints, templates and activations. The Five Higher Lightbody Meditation is wonderful for making you receptive to getting your vibrational spin up, and for receiving the light codes. It is good to do this calling in of light codes, blueprints, key codes, and activations whether alone or together. Trust your hearts discernment to feel whether it feels right to receive activations, key codes, energy healing from anyone. Ask that you only receive what is in your highest good at every session that you attend and with every transmission. We offer groups, webinars, and groups sharing key codes, activations, blueprints and templates.


Unity Configuration

When working with another person or people, keep in mind that after you call in your guides and angels, we suggest that you can ask for the “highest and best unity configuration” from source to create. We experience threads of creation throughout all consciousness forms such as plants, animals and minerals. You will see all beings as yourself and wish to serve them. You can feel what it feels like to be another person, or perhaps a tree or a flower as you embrace pod consciousness also known as unity consciousness. Read more about pod consciousness. The threads of creation extend to 144,000 councils of light. The higher realms are in unity consciousness and speak as one being in these councils. As you progress on your spiritual path, you will connect with these councils of light and they replace individual guides or join them in showing up in your sacred space time of connection. The unity configuration will feel really good between you and your friend or friends and also good as you are lifted up and connect with creation. It is like you are threaded into creation, and become it. In becoming creation, you will desire to serve creation. This takes you into a surrender process to doing service which is the best thing for accelerating your ascension. You do not have to know exactly how to serve, just be willing to be an instrument for how source wishes to have you serve or use you. And you also must be willing to be in unity, and having human friends to connect with enhances your own spiritual acceleration plus offers you support through the intensity of ascension.

Planetary Service

As you go into sacred space, we suggest that you ask that only those aligned with light and unconditional love, here to assist your ascension process be present. This asks those aligned with ascension, unconditional love and our highest good to be present and no other beings. Next, in this process, we often ask for the highest guidance and then have silence for messages to come through to each person present. It may bring us into planetary service for that session, perhaps allowing certain sacred alchemical rays to come into earth and the oceans or whatever needs to happen, as directed by the councils of light. Our Divine Councils do this work as do the pods. We have received that we can bend the bars of the Matrix and really change reality as we know it through planetary service and Divine Council. We have seen photographic confirmation many times at the same time as our work. A rainbow around the sun on the solstice, angel shapes in the clouds, or pink light around Mt.Shasta when we were receiving and seeing the pink ray in our meditation. Two people can make a difference and it grows exponentially with more people surrendered as instruments to source. Healing circles can help each other and send energies to one in need. Environmental concerns can be eradicated according to our guidance and inner knowing.

Multidimensional Journeying

As you have your guides there, you can ask to be taken somewhere. You want only those aligned with the light to work with you, and you want to stay in the etheric realm and not the astral realm. The difference between the realms is vast. The etheric or absolute realm is aligned with the vibration of love, of unity and oneness. It is where we want to go to further our ascension. We can feel the new earth, and feel it into being by creating it within by taking a multidimensional journey into the etheric realm. The astral realm and astral travel includes beings that are not aligned with love and our highest good. Therefore we do not recommend astral travel. We recommend exploring the higher realms of light and love, the absolute or etheric realm.

Awakening the Divine Heart process of activations for the oneness body and divine heart etheric overlays has a process at the end in which one is lifted up into the absolute. It feels like love as that is the energetic dimension feeling space you are entering. It assists you in knowing and being in the absolute reality in all your spiritual work forward, though keeping your vibrational spin up keeps you there. An affirmation for your multidimensional meditation journeys could be “May beings aligned with the highest good be present and may where we go be aligned with the highest good only.” Tuning your hearts to the Heart of God helps you to be aligned with love and make your journey in the etheric Fifth Dimensional or higher realms.

See who shows up as your spiritual guides, learn to see them and hear them, and ask to be taken somewhere. A place to start is a multidimensional corridor of light called the Arcturian Corridor. I have seen it with many wormholes off of it to other realities. You can share what you “see” with another person and they start to experience it as well. If you are new to this, a good way to start is to use a meditation or book by David K. Miller who has them in his books and also on audio. Suzanne Lie has Arcturian Guided Meditations available on her website and on Youtube. If you are not comfortable with star beings as your guides, you can travel with your angels or animal totems in a shamanic journey. This ascension process is your own to be customized. You have a special puzzle piece to add through the uniqueness of who you are and a way to assist others into their light. We encourage and support you.


Following Your Guidance and Intuition

As you progress spiritually, you will first be drawn to resources, to channelings and to information that resonates. At first this is good as it will get it out of the box of your belief systems and expand how you see the world. You will then have no need for this as you are able to channel higher wisdom from aspects of your higher self. No outside authority will be necessary. You might read them as you are in resonance, they are uplifting, and they may confirm what you already know. You no longer look to them or depend on them as you are receiving your own higher guidance! You become a channel of yourself.

Doing your practices and raise your vibration. You will create inner peace within. You become a light server. Previously you were sustained on the energy of others, the sun and from food. You are less dependent on these sources as you raise your vibration. As you raise your frequency, you become a server of light and love which goes to all of creation. We are all in a connected web of light. We are continually receiving from source. This is part of what it means to be in service- it means to be continually in a the vibration of love that is giving to others and also yourself. You will create the outer reality from your inner reality. It is based on vibration, like tuning to a radio frequency. The attunement to a frequency is projected through your heart to the outer reality in which you experience. That is why vibration is so important. This is the mastery to strive for and embody. That way, the astrology of the day will not matter. Where you are and what is happening outside you will not matter so much. You are a sovereign being that creates your reality. The Matrix has no hold on you anymore. You are free and you are here to help others become free through your example of living as freedom.


Your intuition is so important. How does something feel to you? Does this place feel good? When you read something, do the words feel good? Feel that beyond the content of what you are reading. Place it in your heart and feel it. If you get hits on what to read, where to go, what to do, how to serve, who to talk to, or anything else; please listen and follow these inner urges. Living from the heart means that your logical mind may have to take a backseat as you discover a new way of moving through the world. You will be looking inside yourself as the guru instead of looking to outside experts for advice. Everyone has this capacity to bring through unique and valuable guidance. Let this be encouragement on your path.

Your Personal Practice and Dedication

Start by doing some of the things that are suggested here, and also what you discover elsewhere. As you tune into a meditation practice, your guides will start giving you new techniques. We call it God's Toolbelt and are so excited to receive new things that raise our vibration or offer healing. You will receive them too, as you deepen in your own practice. Meditation is key whether you do it alone or with another. It could be still or it could be walking outdoors. Enjoying silence and going within is the key, however it transpires. And connecting in meditation with another may involve communication and isn't always silent, though there are moments of silence within the meditation. It takes dedication and a leap of faith to do these practices as sometimes you may not have the experiences and results you may be expecting. Working with a group definitely helps the process and gives you support. A daily morning session of your chosen practices is encouraged. Be dedicated, and see what happens and how your spiritual experiencing of the Self unfolds. We honor you for embarking on this journey and embracing the path of becoming one with creation, the path of love and unity, and the path of service. You will be called to share what you know to others, which will help them. Thank you so much for choosing the path of ascension.
