Understanding Your Higher Self & Soul Connection
by: Jac Kalea Patio, HHP
Remember: You Are Divine
One of the most beautiful questions I receive is about the difference between our higher self and our soul. This understanding is foundational to your spiritual awakening and divine union, so I feel called to share the sacred wisdom that flows through my connection to Source about this topic.
Many of you starseeds, lightworkers, and awakening souls are feeling the pull to connect more deeply with the divine aspects of yourselves. Understanding the relationship between your soul and higher self is like receiving a map for your spiritual journey—it shows you exactly how you're connected to the infinite love of Source.
The Sacred Cord: From Source to You
Picture this divine connection: There's a golden cord that extends from the top of your head, traveling up, up, up through dimensional time, reaching beyond this earthly realm into what we call the Source realms. This is where Divine Source—that giant ball of golden light at the center of the universe—resides in pure consciousness.
Your higher self is an aspect of your greater soul that always exists in these Source realms, never leaving that pure state of consciousness with the divine. Think of your higher self as a beautiful fleck of energy that comes directly from Source—it's the divine self, the part of you that remembers your true nature and never forgets its connection to God.
From this higher self aspect, another cord extends down through dimensional time, through what I call "the box" of our earthly reality, and connects directly into your heart center—where your soul flame lives for this lifetime.
Your Soul: The Flame in Your Heart
When we talk about your soul in daily life, we're referring to the soul incarnated here for this specific journey on Earth. This soul lives as a flame inside a sacred chamber within your heart center. It's a spark of energy from your greater soul consciousness that exists eternally with the divine.
The soul you experience day-to-day is perfectly designed to handle this earthly experience. It would be impossible to bring all of that higher consciousness into a human body—it's too much high-vibrational energy for our dense physical form. So Source, in infinite wisdom, creates this perfect system where just enough divine essence incarnates to fulfill your soul's mission here.
Divine Union: When Heaven Meets Earth
The most sacred moment on your spiritual path is when that cord from your higher self successfully connects with your soul flame in the heart center. This is what we call divine union—the activation and alignment of your earthly soul with the truth of your higher divine self.
When this connection is strong and pure, you begin to spiritually awaken on a completely different level. You start to realize: "Oh my goodness, I'm more than just a human being. I'm more than this body. I'm actually divine, and I'm always with Source."
This isn't something that's automatically active for everyone. It's a higher vibrational connection that happens when you're ready to accept and embody the divine nature of who you truly are.
Divine Union Affirmation:
"I am one with my higher self. The golden cord of divine connection flows clearly from Source through my higher self into my heart center. I trust my divine nature and live from the truth of who I AM. My soul and higher self work in perfect union to serve my highest path and the ascension of humanity."
How to Strengthen Your Divine Connection
Here are some practices to help you activate and maintain this beautiful connection:
Daily Cord Checking Practice: Each morning, drop into your heart center and feel for that golden cord connection. Ask: "Am I connected to my higher self? Is my cord clear and pure?" If something feels off, call for 100% pure light to clear and strengthen your connection.
Heart Center Meditation: Sit quietly and breathe into your heart center. Go as deep as you can until you find the energy of peace or grace. From this space, call for your higher self aspect, asking for the connection to be pure, divine, and aligned.
Higher Self Communication: Once your connection feels strong, you can begin receiving guidance from this divine aspect of yourself. Your higher self knows your soul's path, your divine purpose, and exactly what you need for spiritual growth.
The Responsibility of Divine Connection
When you successfully connect with your higher self, it means you're accepting the path of spiritual growth and transformation. Your higher self will lovingly show you what needs to be released, healed, or transformed to embody your divine nature more fully.
This isn't always comfortable—growth rarely is. But remember that your higher self only reveals what you're ready to handle and always with the deepest love and support. Sometimes challenging experiences arise because you're being prepared to embody a greater version of yourself.

Clear inner knowing about your life direction
Decreased anxiety about the future (because you trust divine guidance)
Natural alignment with your soul's purpose
Easier access to peace and grace during challenges

You didn't come to Earth to struggle in separation from Source. You came to remember your divine nature while in human form, to be a bridge between heaven and earth, to anchor divine love in this physical reality.
Your higher self is not separate from you—it IS you in your purest, most divine expression. When you connect with this energy, you're not reaching for something outside yourself; you're remembering the truth of who you've always been.
The world needs you to embody this connection. When you live from your divine union, you become a walking blessing, a living example of what's possible when humanity remembers its connection to Source.
YOU ARE IMPORTANT & WHY YOU CAME HERE IS TOO!
Trust in your divine nature. Honor the sacred cord that connects you to Source. And know that every step you take toward strengthening this connection serves not just your own awakening, but the ascension of all humanity.
P.S. - Remember that connecting with your higher self is a journey, not a destination. Be patient and loving with yourself as you strengthen this divine relationship. Some days the connection will feel crystal clear, others it might feel distant—this is all part of the human experience of awakening to our divine nature.
