Today’s journey starts with a quote from the Bhagavad Gita:
“Through meditation, the higher self is experienced.”
That higher-self, is the part of us that is deeply connected to spirit, soul, source… or whatever other label you might put on it.
For many of us, our “higher-self” is an aspect that we have very little real experience with, because being human – and having human bodies that desperately want to survive – it’s completely normal to become trapped in survival mode and only have real experience of our “scared-self”.
Finding a deeper connection to our higher-self requires trust. A trust that every time you meditate, every time you stop and consciously slow down your breathing for a few minutes, that you are opening up to higher wisdom. A trust that the more time you spend in this higher-self space, the better you’ll get at being open to the completeness and wholeness that is already there.
Here are some more beautiful words from amazing teachers for your day:
“Quietly affirm that you will define your own reality from now on and that your definition will be based on your inner wisdom.” – Wayne Dyer
“The innermost light, shining timelessly and peacefully in the heart, is the real Guru. All others merely show the way.” – Nisargadatta
“Meditation is really just quieting yourself enough so you can get in touch with your own inner wisdom.” – Louise Hay
“Like an ability or a muscle, hearing your inner wisdom is strengthened by doing it.” – Robbie Gass
Our busy lives can easily distract us from this higher self, leaving us trapped in a cycle of fear and anxiety. We become accustomed to the noise of our thoughts, the demands of our desires, and the judgments of others. To break free from this cycle, we must cultivate a deep trust in our inner wisdom, and learn to listen. Trusting that everything we practice we will become better at.
By practicing meditation and mindfulness, we can begin to observe the busy mind and take a step back towards our higher selves. Each moment of stillness is an opportunity to listen to the gentle whisper of our inner-knowing.
There is wisdom in you, and there is also the voice of fear. The better you become at understanding the loud voice of fear, the more you’ll be able to hear the whisper of wisdom.
As you move forward, hold these guiding mantras close to your heart:
- I trust that my inner wisdom is always available to me.
- I am willing to listen to the whispers of my heart.
- I am strong enough to face my fears and doubts.
- I am worthy of trusting my own inner guidance.
Your higher self is not a destination but a presence, always available to you. Trust it. Nurture it. And let it guide you toward a life of greater balance, purpose, and joy.
Have a beautiful day beautiful humans.
