10 Ways to Get in Spirit by Charity Kayembe
(original blog with hyperlinks is here https://www.cwgministries.org/blogs/10-ways-get-spirit-charity-kayembe)
We want to get out of our heads and into our hearts because God does not live in our heads. Ephesians 3:17 tells us that Jesus lives in our hearts and John 7:37-39 tells us that rivers of living water—the Holy Spirit—flow from deep within. As believers, we know that our spirit is joined with Holy Spirit deep down in our innermost being (1 Cor. 6:17).
Therefore, we want to live from our hearts and our spirits, from down deep, from our union with God there. When we are in this sacred place, scientifically speaking, we are in the alpha brainwave state. As you are wide awake, reading these words, and engaging your mind, you are in the faster analytical beta brainwave state. However, just as you fall asleep at night, and just as you wake up in the morning, you are in the alpha brainwave state.
This slower frequency state is more meditative and reflective. When we are not quite sure if we are awake or asleep, the veil between the physical world and spiritual world is very thin and we are in the alpha brainwave state. We are also in the alpha and theta brainwave frequencies when we dream.
While science calls this alpha brainwaves, Scripture calls it being “in spirit.” Jesus told us to “worship in spirit” (Jn. 4:24). John said, “I was in spirit on the Lord’s day” and met with God (Rev. 1:10ff). Again, he said, “I was in spirit” and proceeded to see Father’s throne and all manner of heavenly vision (Rev. 4:2ff). He was not in his head. He was in his heart. He wasn’t in beta. He was in alpha, and that is when his spiritual senses were opened wide to see and hear the mysteries of the Kingdom.
We see then how dreams are an effective communicative medium with Heaven. When we receive dreams, our analytical mind is out of the way, and we are able to receive a pure flow of revelation straight from Father’s heart to ours.
Indeed, Scripture reveals that when we are asleep, our heart is awake to commune with our Beloved (Song of Sol. 5:2). Dreams are God’s contingency plan to ensure He always has a way to connect with us. Father knows that the best time to get our undistracted attention is during sleep – when we are “in spirit” – that is, in those slower brainwaves.
The Shift – Slowing Our Brainwaves
But what about when we are awake? Obviously, we want to receive heavenly revelation all day long, too. Are there any other ways we can position ourselves to receive more readily from the supernatural realm? Absolutely! Just like the reflection on a cellphone or computer screen—different angles and amounts of light illuminate what is being shown. When there are high levels of light in the room, we need to increase the brightness of the display in order to see more than just reflections on the screen.
In a similar way, we can increase the brightness of the visionary screen inside our hearts. We do this by moving into the alpha brainwave state. Science has demonstrated there are practical and proven ways we can slow down our brainwaves. Founder of Impact Ministries, Dr. James Richards shares several in his book, Moving
Your Invisible Boundaries:
"It is interesting that so many of the physical forms of worship tend to slow down our brainwaves. Music is very instrumental in effecting our brainwaves. Chanting, which is done in many of the Psalms and is actually used in the Hebrew language to describe worship, slows the brainwaves. Rolling our eyes up, as if looking to heaven, rocking, singing songs with repeated rhythmic patterns, bowing, dancing and pretty much all of the physical expressions of praise and worship, slow the brainwaves.
"When this happens we think that God, who lives way off in heaven has suddenly been appeased to such a degree that He graces us with His presence. But the truth is just the opposite; God, who lives in us and is always expressing Himself to us, is finally realized by the shift in our awareness. We begin to experience what He has been expressing all along!"
This is similar to how the discipline of fasting helps us tune in to hear from God. It is not that He is speaking more clearly when we fast; it’s simply that we have positioned ourselves to hear Him better. So it is with these various ways to worship and meditate: They don’t change God; they change us!
We instinctively do many of these things to naturally quiet down an upset baby. We rock them gently, sway back and forth, and sing songs to them. We know these are effective ways to settle down a child, and now we recognize that they are also effective ways to quiet ourselves down, to settle us into our hearts and spirits.
Biblical Examples
We see this exemplified in Scripture with the prophet Elisha. When he wanted to receive a revelation from God he also used the tool of music: “‘But now bring me a minstrel.’ And it came about, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him” and he received a prophetic word to declare (2 Kings 3:15ff).
While it may go without saying, closing our eyes is obviously another simple and effective way to shift our awareness from the external to the internal. This also moves us down into that alpha state of spiritual sensitivity, so that we are less distracted by the outer world and more focused on the Kingdom within.
In Joshua 1:8, God told Israel’s new up-and-coming leader how to be successful. The secret? Biblical meditation. Meditation moves us to the alpha/spirit level, giving us a greater sensitivity and awareness of the sacred supernatural. Soft soaking music and visionary prayer are excellent tools for this. My dad and I unpack the extraordinary gift of meditation in our book on Kingdom emotions, and you are welcome to experience the New Creation Celebration Meditations available free on his ministry website.
Another extremely efficient way I have found to quiet myself down is through Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). EFT, or “tapping” as it is often called, has been scientifically documented to consistently slow down our brainwaves, bringing us into a place of calm and rest. It moves us from beta to alpha quickly and effortlessly, thus moving us from our heads to our hearts.
As a predominantly left-brain teacher, I naturally live in my head, therefore, I must manually shift gears and intentionally slow down into my heart. Hundreds of studies show the near-miraculous benefits of tapping, and I personally use it as a tool to move me into my heart zone.
Again, because Jesus lives in my heart, I endeavor to live from my heart and the springs of His River of Life that flow from there (see Prov. 4:23). Praying in tongues also moves us into the alpha state making us more aware of the spiritual realm and our connection to it. Supernatural leaders such as Sid Roth and Mahesh Chavda testify that their commitment to praying in the Spirit an hour a day unleashed tremendous power and anointing through their ministries.
Indeed, I have found that singing in the Spirit is one of the quickest ways for me to become aware of God’s peace and presence. When we sing and pray in tongues, our spirit is praying (1 Cor. 14:14-15). Our spirit is one with Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 6:17). So we are connecting with Holy Spirit and allowing Him to pray with and through us (Rom. 8:26-27).
Lastly, the simple exercise of breathing deliberately and deeply will quickly quiet us into our hearts. The word for "spirit" and "breath" are the same in the original languages the Bible was written in. That means when it says John was "in spirit on the Lord's day," it could have just as accurately been translated, John was "in breath on the Lord's day." Indeed, scientific research has shown that slow, deep breathing shifts our brainwaves, calming us down into an alpha brainwave state.
Spiritual Top 10
In summary, when we want to become more keenly aware of the spiritual realm that is all around us and perceive more clearly the supernatural world that permeates and infuses this natural world, we can simply slow down our brainwaves. There are steps we can take to proactively posture ourselves to easily move from beta to alpha, thus effectively moving from our head to our heart. These include:
1. Closing our eyes
2. Looking up / rolling eyes upward as if looking toward heaven
3. Rocking or swaying back and forth
4. Bowing and dancing
5. Speaking in tongues
6. Singing in tongues
7. Breathing deeply
8. Practicing emotional freedom technique (tapping)
9. Listening to soaking instrumental music
10. Meditating, which includes using our godly imagination
It is encouraging to realize supernatural encounter doesn’t need to be an entirely sovereign experience where we have to wait around for a blinding light to knock us to the ground.
It is exciting to understand that in Him we live and move and have our being and that Holy Spirit’s life and love can be felt any time and all the time, whenever we want.
It is empowering to know that there are many simple things we can do to get “in spirit” and continually experience the peace, power and presence of Heaven that is as near as our next breath.
Going Deeper Activation
Have you used all ten ways listed above to quiet yourself down into your heart? Which ones have you found to be most effective? Are there any that God is highlighting for you to try right now?
Connect to the flow of His River within and purpose to practice His presence by relaxing into your spirit, remembering your oneness, and resting in your union with Him.

Anna's Dream: Words of Wisdom & Knowledge by Charity Kayembe
My good friend, Anna, shared a dream with me over the weekend that illustrates so beautifully how God is always speaking. He gives us practical answers to whatever challenges we face and He faithfully leads and guides us into all truth.
Since the setting from our waking world comes first, before we have the dream, we’ll start there. Anna’s friend – who we’ll call John – was very sick. He had been to the doctors and although they were able to determine that it was his liver that was giving him problems, they had no idea why.
Various medical tests and scans were run, with no clear results. They could see John was ill but couldn’t figure out the reason for it. And since they didn’t understand the root cause, they didn’t know how to help him. But good thing for John, he had a friend who hears from God through her dreams.
Enter Anna
I asked Anna to share her vision of the night in her own words...
DREAM: John was struggling to fix the bottom of a wall that was falling in and bugs were crawling under it. The wall was on sand, and I think maybe on the other side was a beach. The bugs were small and yellow spirals… we saw them walk towards the holes in the wall. John was trying to fix the holes… but it kept crumbling. I said, “I can help... we need to fix this foundation, so the bugs don’t keep getting in…” I removed a long piece of, I believe, coral … I didn’t want it to break, or to cut myself… I then started to replace the holes, especially the area where coral was.
ACTION: Fixing a foundational issue by getting the bugs out.
EMOTION: Concerned about being cut by coral.
SETTING: Praying for John and wisdom about the underlying issue making him sick.
INTERPRETATION: Anna meditated on the dream, asking Holy Spirit for His understanding and revelation. What the Lord brought to mind through the images in the dream, combined with John’s waking life experiences, were the answer to both of their prayers!
A few months prior to these health issues, John had traveled internationally. While overseas, he had been swimming and inadvertently got too close to a coral reef, cutting his foot on the sharp edges.
Because of the dream, Anna realized the root cause and underlying “foundational” issue of John’s health challenges may be parasites. In the dream, she was trying to “help him get bugs out.” Obviously, bugs are another name for parasites, and the concept of coral being something dangerous that could cut and harm was definitely highlighted in the dream too.
Anna shared these thoughts with her friend, and John honored God’s voice through the dream. He went back to his doctor and asked if there was a possibility that parasitic bugs could be the problem, and could he have been exposed to them when he cut his foot on a coral reef overseas?
The doctor ran tests that confirmed both to be true! In fact, the parasites he was then diagnosed with were even yellow and spiral in shape, just like the bugs in Anna’s dream. Amazing! What all the doctors and all the scans couldn't reveal, God did. Not through the medical team, not through the laboratory testing... but through. a. DREAM.
One beloved daughter and faithful friend, listening and resting. Praying and pondering.
We can see how honoring Father's voice through our dreams sets us up for all manner of success. We never need to be anxious. Never confused or stressed out or afraid. All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are in Christ. And He's in us! That means everything we need to know is already within. We just need to learn how to connect with Holy Spirit's river of revelation and receive from it nightly.
In summary, we know Jesus is our Great Physician. He has every solution to every challenge, every answer to every problem. He IS the Answer! And He expresses His Spirit of wisdom and knowledge to us in our dreams. He downloads revelation and understanding while we sleep.
God is always speaking. And thankfully for John… Anna was listening!
Want to Hear from Heaven Like Anna?
Can dream interpretation be easy? Is it possible to make something that seems so strange, actually be simple and fun? YES. Because once you know the right questions to ask, you can get the right answers. Once you know what you’re looking for, it’s easier to see!
But don’t just take our word for it. Shawn Bolz says, “So far the simplest teaching I have ever heard on dreams – and possibly some of the most profound – is coming from Charity Kayembe.”
As Christians, we believe God can speak through dreams. After all, God can do anything He wants! Yet we often limit our expectations of a nightly revelation to once in a lifetime or maybe once every two or three years. But what if God was speaking through our dreams all the time? What if He had so much compassion and encouragement to give us, He poured it out all day AND all night?
Job 33 tells us that He speaks over and over again, we just don’t recognize it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when we go to sleep, He whispers to us. And how regularly does He do this? Oftentimes.
Does God speak to teenagers in their dreams? He did with Joseph and his bowing stars.
Does God download lucrative business ideas in dreams? Just ask Jacob about his sheep.
Does God provide relationship advice in dreams? Consider Mary and Joseph’s engagement.
You may be tempted to think your dreams are so weird, God couldn’t possibly be speaking through them. Yet what about Gideon and that loaf of barley bread? Or even if it’s scary, it’s comforting to know God can still provide a benefit through it, just like Abraham's dream.
The most exciting truth is He speaks to all of us, whether we believe in dreams – or in God – or not. Look at Pharoah and Nebuchadnezzar. He has so much creativity to bless the world with, He doesn’t limit Himself only to believers.
God is freely downloading all manner of solutions and strategy to anyone who is paying attention and honoring their dreams. He is pouring out His Spirit on ALL of us… and everyone is seeing visions and dreaming dreams (Acts 2:17).
Don’t miss out on all the wisdom and perspective Heaven is providing while you sleep. Help your family experience Father’s heart, feeling seen and known by Him. Show your friends how much God cares for them and everything that concerns them. And most of all make sure they know God loves them so much He can’t wait to meet them in their dreams!
