The doorway to Heaven

Before I can even begin to write about this doorway, it is important to understand what heaven really is. No matter what religious doctrine we follow, we learn at a very early age about a heaven where we are supposed to go if we are good. We are taught about a heaven that is so far away from us that it is basically unreachable to human kind unless we lead a life without “sin.” And in the case we do “sin”, we have to make sure we repent before we die so we can guarantee a so called place in that heavenly realm.

Heaven is a lot more than just a place we go to when we die. Heaven is a higher realm of existence that is present in our lives every single minute of our being on this planet. Heaven is a higher state of consciousness, a place where we can connect with our higher self and the entire angelic realm whenever we want to find out all the answers to our everyday questions; all we need to do is just look within, ask and trust this inner guidance.

This Heaven is a sacred place where we can go to whenever we feel sad, happy, alone, worried, any time we feel out of place and whenever we want the truth to be revealed to us. We all have our own individual heaven which is as much a part of us as the air we breathe. This heaven is customized to fit our needs and to guide us in making the best choices that will benefit our personal growth and experiences.

You may ask yourself, where is this Heaven and why don’t I have it? Well this Heaven I speak of is embedded in the deepest fiber of our soul, it can be found in our hearts. The reason why we don’t see it is not because it’s not there, but because we as a human race have decided to close this doorway and pay attention to our external dense worlds.

We have become so consumed by materialism, greed, media obsession and selfish behavior, that we have altered our existence on this planet to be controlled by our minds and egos, instead of allowing our hearts and inner knowing to guide us in making our lives much easier to deal with.

Just imagine for a split second how wonderful it would be if we allowed our lives to be guided by this sacred heaven we carry within; if we just let go of the steering wheel and sat in the passenger seat of our lives and just allowed this inner knowing to softly take over and make the best decisions for us without suffering. Just letting it flow through us so we can have the most creative and beautiful ideas without any struggle.

It would be as easy as allowing the latest GPS system to take over when we are driving our cars, taking us in the right direction every time we set a new destination. Think about it! How easy have our lives become with this new GPS device? I for one love it. I could not imagine my life without it. Every time I want to go somewhere I have never been to before, I take my GPS, enter my destination and just trust that it will take the best route to get me to where I need to go.

That is exactly what our inner Heaven does for us. It takes the best route to get us to where we need to go, to meeting the people who are the best for our personal growth, to bringing situations in our lives that are perfect for every single one of us; without hesitations, without struggles, without fear, without anger, without pain. Everything just takes place as it should be effortlessly.

The doorway to heaven is the conscious expansion of our being, which can be reached through daily meditation. There is a misconception about meditation because most people think that they have to be into Buddhism or Hinduism and it is falsely believed that you must sit on a lotus position in order to meditate. But the truth is that no matter what religious background we come from, we can all take a few minutes of each day to sit quietly, undisturbed, focusing in our inner selves, just breathing rhythmically and filling our lungs with pure air, while connecting with nature. You can do this for just 5 to 10 minutes daily and you can begin to feel a deeper sense of belonging and connection to all that exists.

It is amazing how our lives begin to shift once we surrender to this infinite expansion of consciousness. Once you begin to feel the Divine vibrations and see how love and perfection are always working through us and around us, there is no turning back to the old, false connection to the material world. Once the doorway to heaven has been opened the possibilities to what can be possible are infinite and nothing will ever feel too big or too overwhelming to accomplish.

So now that we know what heaven is, let’s focus on how to connect to it and keep the doorway to this heaven opened to receive all the gifts it has for us. The following steps are tools that can help us keep centered and open to creating a deep connection with our inner heaven.
