Question:
How do you access your higher self in meditation? Is there any particular technique that you use? How do you know that you are really in touch with the higher self?
Answer:
Meditation is an opportunity for the noise of the mind to subside and for the higher Self to reveal itself. If you use a mantra in meditation, the mantra allows the mind to undirected and neutral. This state permits the inherent attraction of the one’s inner nature of silence, joy and knowledge to draw the mind to the higher Self. So experiencing the Self is not something we can do through effort or technique. All you can do is create the necessary preconditions from which the mind can then go beyond its limitations and experience its essential nature.
The experience of the higher Self is self-evident, in that it is pure consciousness—the knower, and the knowledge together. You know it because it knows itself.
Love,
Deepak

referring to ques
Switching off mind thoughts can be called as technique. But technique to achieve this is unique to individuals.
Focusing on something where your mind can stay continuously can be called as initial technique in order to eliminate the noise.

dear deepak,

Still all I hear are noises, music, thoughts, ramblings every time I meditate, 99.8% of the time. There is always noise, chatter, never stillness or neutral, always straining for a direction, for 15 years. But every day I meditate nonetheless.
One day my mind will discover how to let go.
After fifty-two years of meditation what I have understood is that we are reaching THE SUMMUM BONUM of the Universe. For wonderful short moments we are dwelling right in the middle. And what is the middle? The middle is the starting point of a loving spiral. He who mediates is drawn to the core of this wonderful spiral.If we try just to feel the harmony and peace of this spiral a lot is accomplished. Later on your SUBCOSCIOUS MIND will translate and communicate this spiritual experiences into your objective mind.So, later on as you are resting and relaxing the FLASHBACK will illuminate your understanding.
