Introduction

Welcome to the threshold of a transformative journey of consciously choosing higher energy vs intending

Photo by Andy Vu

Welcome to the threshold of a transformative journey. Imagine standing at the precipice of change, where every choice becomes a powerful catalyst for personal evolution. The essence of transformation lies in the energy we choose to cultivate within ourselves—a power that propels us toward the fullest expression of our human potential.

Have you ever felt a surge of vitality after a positive encounter or an inspiring idea? The whisper of higher energy (or higher consciousness) invites you to rise above the mundane.  Stop “living by default.”

When we talk about ‘higher energy,’ we’re not just discussing physical vigor but an elevated state of being—think clarity, optimism, joy, and inner peace. It’s the kind of energy that not only brightens your day but also illuminates your path to growth and fulfillment.

Setting the Stage for Personal Growth and Transformation

Personal growth and transformation are akin to dancing with the universe, where every step is guided by the rhythm of your own energy. By opting for higher power, you’re choosing to lead this dance. This choice is the silent language through which you communicate with life itself, signaling your readiness to expand beyond current limitations and explore new horizons of your being.

Previewing How Cultivating Higher Energy Can Unlock Your Human Potential

The potential within us is like a seed waiting to sprout; it requires the right conditions to flourish. Cultivating higher energy is like nurturing this seed with sunlight and water, encouraging it to grow into a mighty tree. In this sense, higher energy acts as a key, unlocking doors to abilities and dreams that may have seemed unreachable. The shift in your energy spectrum or level of consciousness can turn mediocrity into excellence, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Emphasizing the Importance of Intention Setting in This Transformative Journey

Shed Limitin Beliefs on Your Way to BUilding Self-EsteemThough intention setting is a powerful compass that guides you through the vast seas of possibility, choosing higher energy is even more potent. It’s not merely about wishing for a change but defining a clear destination. When the intention is infused with a higher power, it becomes a powerful declaration of your commitment to growth. Every mindful step you take demonstrates that commitment, aligning your actions with the grand vision you hold for your life. Through intention, you sculpt your reality, chiseling away the unnecessary to reveal the masterpiece that is your potential.

As we navigate this blog, we’ll delve deeper into the nuances of higher energy and intention. We’ll discover how they interplay to create a symphony of personal development and mastery. You’ll learn practical ways to harness this energy, hear inspiring stories of transformation, and perhaps most importantly, you’ll be invited to reflect on your own journey. Let’s embark on this path together, exploring how our choices can illuminate the brilliance of our human potential.

Understanding Higher Energy

What is ‘higher energy,’ and why does it matter in personal development? Higher energy goes beyond the physical or emotional realms; it encompasses a state of being that resonates with positivity, vitality, and a profound sense of purpose. By understanding this form of energy, we can begin to harness it to fuel our growth and transformation.

Exploring the Concept of Higher Energy and Its Impact on Personal Development

Higher energy is often described as a light, expansive feeling that propels individuals toward their best selves. It’s the difference between waking up feeling sluggish and uninspired versus invigorated and ready to face the day’s challenges head-on. It’s essential to recognize that while our physical energy levels can fluctuate due to various factors such as diet and exercise, our higher energy is more deeply rooted in our spiritual, mental, and emotional states. When we tap into higher energy, we open doors to creativity, resilience, and an enhanced ability to problem-solve.

Discussing the Connection Between Energy Levels and One’s Ability to Tap Into Their Full Potential

The link between our energy levels and potential is like the relationship between sunlight and a blooming garden. Just as plants need sunlight to grow and thrive, we require a higher energy flow to reach the zenith of our capabilities. High energy aligns us with a frequency of abundance and possibility. It’s the catalyst that ignites passion and drives innovation. When we operate from a place of high energy, we are more likely to achieve our goals and fulfill our dreams.

The POwer of INtentionProviding Examples of How Higher Energy Can Positively Influence Daily Life and Mindset

Consider the days when everything seems to fall into place effortlessly — these are instances of being in a state of higher energy. This could manifest in various ways: finding solutions to problems more intuitively, experiencing heightened creativity, or simply feeling a sense of well-being and contentment. For example, a student may find that studying while in a state of higher energy not only makes the process more enjoyable but also enhances retention and understanding of the material.

Delving Into the Nuances of The Power of Intention and How It Shapes Our Reality

Intention is the seed from which the tree of our reality grows. It’s a directed impulse of consciousness that contains the blueprint for our desires. The power of intention lies in its ability to focus our thoughts and energies towards a specific goal. When combined with higher energy, the potency of our intentions is magnified, acting much like a magnifying glass that concentrates the rays of the sun to start a fire. Our intentions become clearer, our focus sharper, and our actions more aligned with our true purpose.

Highlighting the Role of Intention Setting in Manifesting Desired Outcomes

An intention without action is like a boat without a sail — directionless and at the mercy of the currents. Setting intentions is a vital step, but it is the follow-through, propelled by higher energy, that leads to manifestation. By regularly setting clear, positive intentions and coupling them with the vibrancy of higher energy, we create a powerful synergy that can dramatically alter the course of our lives. Each intention acts as a compass point, guiding us through the maze of life’s choices and challenges.

Sharing Insights on How Aligning Intentions with Higher Energy Amplifies Their Effectiveness

When intentions are aligned with higher energy, they are supercharged. This alignment creates a resonance that echoes through every aspect of our being, attracting circumstances and opportunities that support our goals. For instance, an entrepreneur who sets the intention to create a successful business will find greater success when they approach their endeavors with optimism, enthusiasm, and a can-do attitude — all hallmarks of higher energy.

Unpacking the Process of Cultivating Human Potential Through Intentional Choices and Actions

Cultivating our human potential is not a passive act; it requires conscious choice and deliberate action. Each decision we make, each thought we entertain, and each attitude we adopt has the potential to either dampen or enhance our higher energy. We nurture our potential by making intentional choices that foster positivity and growth, much like a gardener tends to their plants. Over time, these choices build upon each other, creating a strong foundation for sustained personal development and fulfillment.

*DECIDE* to Have Higher Energy

It's a "Power Play" in Consciousness to Choose HIgher Energy

Consciousness Calibrations BadgeHigher (more) energy is a decision of the spiritual will, which is different from intention.

Intention is context, meaning, subjective reality, and the potentiality of power. A decision of the spiritual will is DESTINY. You may change context (intention) several times in a day, but a decision of the spiritual will need to be made only once. You have no particular destiny without a decision, so you are adrift.

The Significance of the Power of Intention

Choose HIgher EnergyHave you ever considered the driving force behind your evolution? Let’s explore the concept of higher energy and its profound impact on personal development. Higher energy, a vibrant and dynamic power, acts as the fuel for our inner growth. It’s a refreshing presence that, when harnessed, can significantly improve how we think, act, and interact with the world around us.

Energy Levels and Potential

Picture your energy as a spectrum: at one end is fatigue (lower consciousness < 200) , at the other, a boundless zest for life (higher consciousness > 200). Where we fall on this continuum profoundly affects our ability to tap into our full potential. High energy levels are not just about feeling awake; they’re about a deep sense of vitality that enhances creativity, problem-solving abilities, and overall cognitive function. When our energy reservoir is full, we’re more apt to tackle challenges and seize growth opportunities.

Higher Energy in Daily Life

So, what does higher energy look like in practice? It might be the extra push that encourages you to start a passion project or the sustained focus needed for learning a new skill. For instance, someone with higher energy may approach a stressful situation with a calm, positive mindset, influencing both their own well-being and the mood of those around them. This ripple effect can transform not just individual lives but also entire communities.

The Power of Intention

Now, let’s delve into the nuances of the power of intention. Intentions are the seeds of our future realities; they shape our thoughts, which drive our actions. Setting clear and purposeful intentions directs our higher energy towards specific goals. This focused energy becomes a potent catalyst for change, sculpting our reality one thought, one action at a time.

Manifesting with Intention

But how exactly does intention setting lead to real-life outcomes? Consider the role of intention as the architect of our destiny. When we set an intention (the energy in consciousness is 310 or 10 to the 310th power on the Map of Consciousness®), we create a mental blueprint of what we wish to achieve. This blueprint guides our subconscious, nudging us towards behaviors and choices that align with our desired outcomes. It’s akin to planting a garden; the intention is the seed, and our actions are the water and sunlight needed for growth.

Aligning Intentions with Higher Energy

Sharing insights on aligning intentions with higher energy reveals a simple truth: when our intentions are infused with positivity, groundedness, and a high-vibrational mindset, their effectiveness is amplified. Imagine your intention as a radio signal; the higher the energy behind it, the more precise and farther it travels. This alignment creates a resonance that attracts circumstances and opportunities that mirror our high-energy state.

Choosing Higher Energy is Calling Forth Divine Intelligence

Engaging our spiritual will connects us with a higher dimension of consciousness

Engaging our spiritual will connects us with a higher dimension of consciousness, empowering us to co-create with the universe.

Have you ever pondered the idea that within each of us lies the capacity to tap into a more profound aspect of existence? This concept is not just philosophical musing; it’s about activating our spiritual will. (The spiritual dimension and consciousness level starts at 500 and above on the Map of Consciousness®. God’s will calibrates at 850 on the Map)

When we engage this inner power, we’re not just making decisions but reaching a higher dimension of consciousness. This connection to a greater power allows us to participate actively in shaping our reality—essentially, co-creating with the universe. But what does it mean to harness this form of energy?

The Essence of Spiritual Will

At its core, spiritual will is the significant power that drives us toward our life’s purpose and deeper fulfillment. The internal compass guides us through choices that resonate with our most authentic selves. By acting from this clarity, we align ourselves with the vibrational frequencies that foster growth, healing, and transformation. This alignment often leads to peace and empowerment, as if the universe conspires to support our journey.

Connecting with Higher Consciousness

But how do we connect with this higher dimension of consciousness? It starts with stillness and introspection. Whether through meditation, prayer, or mindfulness, regularly dedicating time to quiet the mind opens the door to insights and inspirations that are otherwise drowned out by the noise of daily life.

In these moments of tranquility, we can hear the whispers of our spiritual will, encouraging us to rise above mundane concerns and embrace a grander vision for our lives.

Co-Creating with the Universe Once we establish this connection, we become partners with the universe in the dance of creation

Co-Creating with the Universe

Once we establish this connection, we become partners with the universe in the dance of creation. Each thought, intention, and action sends ripples through the cosmos, influencing our environment and experiences. Acknowledging this capability comes with a responsibility to choose wisely and with purpose. When we set intentions that are aligned with positive energy and greater good, we not only elevate our own existence but contribute to the collective upliftment of humanity.

Imagine the possibilities when we combine our spiritual will with the limitless potential of the universe. It’s like unlocking a secret pathway to manifesting the life we’ve always envisioned. The key lies in recognizing that we are not passive observers but active participants in the unfolding narrative of the world.

Empowerment Through Spiritual Practice

We must cultivate this power through consistent, conscious choice and spiritual practice to embrace it. This could be anything that resonates with your beliefs and lifestyle, such as yoga, chanting, or engaging in acts of service. These practices help maintain a high vibrational state, ensuring that our spiritual will is engaged and amplified. As we nurture our inner world, our external reality mirrors the peace and harmony we experience within.

In essence, engaging our spiritual will does more than connect us to higher consciousness; it transforms us into architects of our destiny. Every choice becomes a brushstroke on the canvas of our lives, and with each stroke, we paint a picture that reflects our deepest aspirations and dreams.

As we conclude this section, let’s hold onto the notion that our spiritual will is a powerful ally in our quest for personal growth and transformation. (It’s proven to be true in consciousness research.) By tuning into this inner resource, we unlock doors to new realms of possibility and join hands with the universe in an extraordinary act of creation. With this knowledge, we can enter a future where our potential is realized and lived to its fullest extent.

Consciously Choosing a Higher Power Redirects Your Compass to a True North

Consciously choosing leads to a profound shift in energy, grounding, and alignment with higher energy fields.

Have you ever noticed how a single conscious choice can ripple outwards, affecting your mood and your entire day? This isn’t a coincidence. When we deliberately choose actions aligned with positive, high-frequency energy, it initiates a profound transformation within us and in our interactions with the world. This conscious decision-making can anchor us, provide stability, and connect us with the broader, more vibrant currents of life’s energy fields.

Understanding the Shift in Energy

What does this energy shift look like? It starts from within. Choosing positivity over negativity, love over fear, or gratitude over dissatisfaction doesn’t just alter our perspective; it transforms our energetic vibration. Our energy field, consciousness—or aura—expands and brightens, which can be felt by ourselves and those around us. This shift can help ground us, making us feel more centered and less swayed by the chaos of everyday life.

Grounding: The Foundation of Alignment

Grounding is akin to planting your feet firmly on the earth, no matter the winds that try to buffet you. It’s about being present in the moment and drawing strength from our connection to the natural world. Practices such as meditation, mindful breathing, or even simply walking barefoot on grass can enhance this sense of grounding. As we become more grounded, we’re better able to align ourselves with higher energy fields, accessing tranquility and clarity that seemed out of reach before.

Aligning with Higher Energy Fields

Once we’re grounded, alignment with higher energy fields becomes the next step. Imagine each of us has a ‘tuning fork’ within, capable of resonating with different energy frequencies. By consciously choosing higher vibrations—such as compassion, empathy, and understanding—we tune into energy fields that are inherently more powerful and transformative. This alignment opens doors to new levels of consciousness and can lead to experiences of deep insight and connectedness.

This alignment isn’t just spiritual or abstract—it can manifest in tangible ways in our daily lives. Perhaps you’ll find yourself reacting with patience where you once would have been irritated, or you might notice an increase in synchronicities—those meaningful coincidences that signal you’re on the right path.

The Ripple Effect of Conscious Choices

The impact of consciously choosing higher energy extends beyond the individual. It has a ripple effect, influencing our relationships and the spaces we inhabit and even extending to our communities. When we operate at a higher frequency, we become beacons of light for others, inspiring them to seek alignment and grounding. Our choices, therefore, have the power to not only transform our own lives but to contribute to a collective elevation of energy.

Maintaining this connection to higher energy fields requires consistent effort. It’s not a one-time choice but a series of daily decisions. It involves continually asking ourselves if our actions, thoughts, and feelings are in harmony with the energy we wish to embody. We can keep this connection alive and thriving through journaling reflection, and intentional living.

Once the connections have been made, and you don’t feel the need to make the same choices every day, it’s a sign that you’ve created a positively oriented karmic pattern. (490)

The Wisdom of 12-Step Programs and Surrendering to a Higher Power

There is higher wisdom in 12-step programs than most people understand

Photo by Aa Dil

According to the decades of consciousness research by Dr. David R. Hawkins, 12-step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous calibrate at very high levels in the 500s on the Map of Consciousness. It is proven that to accept that you are powerless (operating below 200 in addiction) is a powerful realignment with the truth of who you are and acceptance of the powerful source within you.

I like to say, “Do the math!”

Continuing to operate in addictive behaviors leaves you powerless, operating below 200 or 10 to the 200th power. Accepting (350) that you are powerless and surrendering (540) to a higher power is an intelligent, reasonable ( 400) and rational (405) choice to make.

In summary, consciously choosing how we engage with the world leads to a significant shift in our energy. This shift grounds us and allows us to align with higher, more potent energy fields. In turn, these choices catalyze a transformative process that not only enhances our own well-being but also has the potential to uplift those around us. By maintaining this elevated state of being through deliberate action and thought, we can continue to

Conclusion & Calls-to-Action

A journey to higher power is just that, a journey

Photo by Jessie Crettenden

In the journey through our exploration of higher energy, we’ve uncovered a wealth of insights that underscore the profound influence of our energetic choices on personal growth. Let’s take a moment to reflect on the core messages that have permeated this discussion, offer ing both a summation of our learning and a springboard for future action.

Key Takeaways on Harnessing Higher Energy

At the heart of our conversation lies the recognition that higher energy is not just an abstract idea but a practical tool for transformation. Through intentional living—mindful meditation, physical activity, and surrounding ourselves with positivity—we gain access to untapped reservoirs of potential. When aligned with our deepest intentions, this potential can propel us toward growth, fulfillment, and a greater sense of well-being. Remember those inspiring stories shared earlier? They weren’t just narratives but testaments to the limitless possibilities that unfold when we tap into higher energy.

Reflecting on Personal Energy Levels and Intentions

Aligning with higher powers requires self-awreness ans inner reflection

Photo by Shane Kell

As we draw this post to a close, I invite you to pause and consider your own energetic state. How does your current energy level serve your aspirations? Are you nurturing your mind and body with the care they deserve? The path to unlocking your human potential begins with these reflections. Commit to consciously assess and elevate your energy levels and set intentions that resonate with your authentic self. Doing so creates a fertile ground for your ambitions and dreams to take root and flourish.

In the spirit of action, here’s what you can do:

  • Start each day by setting a clear intention that aligns with your higher energy. Setting morning intentions (490) is proven to be of higher consciousness and one of the personal rules to live by.
  • Incorporate at least one practice daily that boosts your energy, whether it’s a brisk walk, a nourishing meal, or a few moments of gratitude.
  • Regularly check in with yourself to ensure your actions and energy are in harmony, adjusting as needed to stay on course.
  • Seek out stories of others who have transformed their lives through higher energy—they can be powerful motivators and guides.

As you embark on this path, remember that every step taken with awareness and higher energy contributes to a larger shift in consciousness. This shift isn’t just about personal gains; it’s about connecting with something greater than ourselves. In elevating our energy, we contribute to a collective elevation, making the world brighter—one intention, one action at a time.

So let’s move forward with the courage to transform, the wisdom to harness our inner power, and the vision to see the beauty of what we can become. Take this knowledge, embrace your higher energy, and watch your life unfold in ways you never imagined possible.
