A first image of the higher self
Imagine a stormy sea, with lightning blazing its wet surface, the terrifying sound of the wind and the wild waves, sweeping away anything that dares to cross them.
Consider now, that dozens of meters below this terrifying surface, there is absolute calm and silence.
Speaking analogically, we will say that however much your stormy Ego panics in difficult times, screams and suffers, your Higher Self, or otherwise your Inner Self, Soul, God or Spirit, always knows the truth and the path, which is best to take, for your self-realization.
The west of the ego and the east of the higher self
In Western philosophy, society places great importance on the Ego, because it is what, in our consumerist society, competes, aspires, wins and succeeds. The Ego serves better, and in multiple ways, the dominant social direction of the market and money.
The Ego, however, beyond logic, which is often a positive and useful sign in making decisions and moving forward in your daily life and life, is also involved with many traumas, limiting beliefs, prejudices and negative feelings, which separate you from others, but above all, from yourself.
In Eastern philosophy and religions, such as Taoism and Buddhism, the goal of every human being is union with the Higher Self, that wise, mysterious, sacred part of ourselves, which reveals through our being the occult meaning of the universe.
We don’t use the term “to be connected” because we are all always connected to it, but we have to turn the switch on, to turn its light on within us.
The conscious and unconscious of Jung’s Theory
The Swiss psychotherapist and psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung developed the theory of the Self, where the surface conscious mind is united with the deep and often hidden from us, unconscious mind, which, however, largely determines the way we interpret and live our lives.
If the dot, in the middle of the circle, is the Ego, the circle is the Higher Self, in which all is contained and realized, according to the natural and unimpeded course of the self.
How you experience your higher self
Aligning with your Higher Self brings unique advantages to the way you experience your everyday life:
- You see the bigger picture
Even in major problems, such as a layoff, you are able to perceive the opportunity hidden behind the crisis.
- You are present
In a world of constant distraction, you manage to stay focused on your center, on what you are doing, on the here and now.
- You feel love and compassion
At the Higher Self level, forgiveness, love and understanding come as natural medicines, healing your relationship with yourself and others.
- You align with a higher mission
You recognize your mission, that is, the reason for which you came into the world, and you set goals that contribute to this realization, enhancing the feeling of a personal meaning in your life.
- Enjoy the health of balance
By shedding your old programming, you erase the negative thoughts, attachments, beliefs and traumas that sicken your body and pollute your soul. You take care of yourself, with diet, exercise, positive thoughts and warm feelings, which regenerate its cells.
- You Become One with others and the Universe
At the level of the Higher Self, there is no separation, all is One. You are the stars and the earth, the tiger and the ant, the sun and the rain, the circle, as we have said, that includes all, and cares for all, as One.
The habits – obstacles of your lower self
If we talk about a Higher Self, then we recognize that there is also a Lower Self. This Self develops through habits, which keep you down, attuned to low vibrations. What are these habits?
- Hyper analytical thinking
Endlessly replaying the most catastrophic scenarios, and the most negative predictions in your mind, does not make you forward-thinking, but unhappy and disconnected from your Higher Self.
- Procrastination
Do you often wait for a better moment, which never comes? This is because this moment is already HERE, and it is called NOW. Only action can unleash your potential in ways your mind can’t even fathom.
- The need for the acceptance of others
When you try to meet the expectations of others, then you have left your own home, which is your Higher Self. The only acceptance you need is self-acceptance.
5 signs that your higher self is talking to you
Fortunately, even in the worst times of your life, where you think you have done it all wrong, and that you have no way out or solution left, your Higher Self is within you, and is trying to find a way to speak to you, conveying its deepest knowledge, that everything will be alright.
Some of the ways your Higher Self tries to contact you are when:
- You see the same numbers, the so-called angel numbers, constantly. Seek the guidance message of your Universal Higher Self through the special message that these numbers carry.
- You feel that the people, who surround you, your work or your habits no longer express you. Begin the decluttering inside and outside you, and walk, without fear, towards a new, completely different path.
- You realize that neither the trauma nor the role of the victim nor your old beliefs serve you any longer. Start working on yourself and take full responsibility for your life.
- You care more about yourself and others. The greater good becomes the focus of your thinking and action.
- You begin to realize that life happens for you, and not to you, and that nothing is accidental, since everything that happens, happens to help you.
7 ways to become your higher self

It is enough not to be afraid to face the shadows of yourself, so that you can experience the absolute light, of love and wisdom, which leads you to self-realization.
- Ask your Higher Self questions
Ask it whatever it is you need to know, from what your life’s mission is, to what job suits you best, or what situation to get out of. Ask for guidance, show the necessary patience, and be sure to receive it, whether through a sign or the manifestation of a path.
- Give more attention to your dreams
Make it a habit to write down your dreams and discern what their symbols reveal about your next steps or your inner state.
- Take more nature trips
For most people, nature is the landscape, where they relax, and feel closer to their true selves. Hug a tree, walk on the sand of the sea, climb a hill and see the view of life, in a different way.
- Practice intuitive writing
Start writing, your thoughts and feelings, and describe the situations you experience, without any self-censorship. No one is watching you. This exercise is for your eyes only. Trust the instinct of the words, which will flow effortlessly onto the paper, as they have a lot to tell you.
- Stand still in silence
In order to listen to your Higher Self, you must first put an end to your inner chatter. Sit still in a comfortable position, cancel out the noise and listen carefully…
- Meditate with intention (and with crystals)
Meditate, keeping only in mind what it is that you need. Do you want to clear your mind? Guidance; Inspiration; Depending on your intention, you can use the appropriate healing crystals in your meditation, such as black tourmaline to banish bad energy, or amethyst for introspection and spiritual balance.
- Balance your chakras
According to oriental philosophy, our body has 7 energy centers, the chakras, which are affected by the experience of our daily life and in turn, affect it. If one or more of your chakras are blocked, by negative emotions, trauma or beliefs, then most likely, you will feel your overall energy is low, either mentally or physically or both ways. So, balancing them is a basic step to being able to function at 100% of your energy potential.
