Lower self connection-before connecting with higher self

 "You need to connect with you lower self, before you can connect with you higher self."

  This is what Drunvalo Melchizedek learned from Hawaiian kahunas people. He was trying to connect with higher self and asked his angels for guidance. An kahunas aboriginal native showed up at his workshops and was asked by Drunval to teach (Aboriginal people or others often coming from everywhere to his workshops to deliver messages). The teaching was that we need to connect with lower self before we can connect with higher self, which Drunvalo finally realized why the technique of contacting higher self he himself has been teaching was not easy for many people. Drunvalo shared in his book "Ancient flower of life" and also his video.
  Lower self is our inner child, the part where everything is a wonder around us. We perceive everything as if receiving them for the first time. We are totally open, enchanted, and child like, no matter what comes our way.
  Drunvalo said that we need to be able to connect with the part of us that is genuine and innocent, and when mother earth feel we are ready, we will be able to connect with our higher self, which is the all knowing, God like, heaven father nature.
  As adults, it, s almost not easy to know how to be child like. But there are ways and we can all relate to it. The 2 things he mentioned are going into nature and travelling to different places.
  This is so true. After meditating for 5, 6 years, and 1 year of yoga, I just couldn, t resist the urge of going into nature, even though the biggest concern is the fear of walking in the woods.
  I realized that is what i have been doing for the past 4 years--spending time in the nature every chance i get.
  The two day retreat on the weekend started in late November or early December 2009. Yoga seemed to set me free even further. I felt compelled to go into nature. In nature, surrounded by trees, earth, air, light, sounds of animal, and the serenity, we find that there us a child within us who is always contented, happy, curious, playful, and aware.

  The first few times were terrifying to be walking by myself, even though there are always other walkers depending on the weather. Winter also came quickly in December. I walked on the main trails for the whole winter. When spring came, I started to explore some secondary trails and absolutely love it.

  In March, I met the geese family and visited them every chance I got. I would watch them and then sat by the lake to meditate. It was a spiritual experience. I went to the lake rain or shine. Plenty of times, there was no one by the lake, but me and the geese, when it was groomy rainy days. I hunkered down in my umbrella sitting by the lake. Those are the special moments.

  I would walk anywhere and imagine what it's like to live out here. I just want to be with the tree and to be in the nature. I want to eat the plants that surrounds me and take them inside of me. I go to grocery store to look for them. I love all kinds of fruit and vegetable. By October, I bought a juicer and started to juice every morning. It was just so rejuvenizing and healing.

  When winter arrived again, I was sad that the good time is about to end for a while. When snow turned the whole place into a winter wonderland, I put on snow shoe and continue to walk into the upper lake into the lower lake, until when the snow is too deep to walk in any way.

  Winter is totally a different world. With fewer people around, the whole place is quiet, tranquil, serene, and magical. The white snow, the beaming sun, the empty branches, trees covered with ice sculptures...the whole place feel almost like a holly temple which fill you with awe and joy. It really transforms you, humble you, and as a result, you feel that there is not much more to say. Just experience it. Just take this in. Just come more often. Just come any chance you get.

  Near the middle of January, I was only able to stay on the main road. The snow, the sun, and sometimes the cloudiness turn the whole place into a surreal place. I almost feel like I am finally in the real wild. I feel like I finally become one with nature

  To be self sufficient, have the nature all to myself, is what I really want to experience. 

  One part of my nature walk is sitting by the water and meditate and do energy work.

  I would often weep while sitting by the lake meditating or when I walk. Later on, I found that the weeping usually happen when I go into a further relaxing state and the body react with a almost appreciative and ecstatic manner. Such a transition is unknown to me and hence surprise even within different part of the body and soul, as if they just met for the first time.

  When spring come again, I was sad that the serene temple would once again change into another world
  Nature is the temple where we remember and go back to our home inside of ourselves. From there, we get to really receive the messages from our higher home.
