Imagine a consistent state of being where clarity, peace, and intuition guide your every move. This is the realm of your higher self. The higher self is the wisest, most compassionate part of you, transcending the ordinary to embrace an extraordinary perspective. It’s a state where you are deeply connected with your true essence, beyond the layers of ego and daily stress. Shifting into this perspective allows you to navigate life with greater ease, insight, and joy.
Accessing Your Higher Self
Accessing your higher self begins with peeling back the layers of daily stress and emotional clutter. It involves transcending the every day and embracing a higher perspective that is always present within you, waiting to be accessed. And this journey begins with practicing self-awareness and detachment.
Developing Mindfulness
The first step in accessing your higher self is through developing self-awareness, or mindfulness. This means maintaining a regular awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and emotions in the present moment. Mindfulness cuts through the noise that distracts you from experiencing fulfillment, abundance, and peace. By being fully present and silencing the ego chatter, you start noticing the precious subtle cues and can hear essential insights from your higher self.
Start by dedicating a few minutes each day to observe your inner dialogue, your thoughts, feelings, and emotions during your inner dialogue and your environment. This practice can be as simple as paying attention to the sensations in your body during a stressful experience or interaction or focusing on your breathing during a quiet moment. Over time, this mindful awareness becomes a natural part of your daily life and begins to ease your stress, tension, and anxiety. Once we can see that our ego-related emotional responses are the root of our stress, tension, and anxiety and that they are not connected to reality or an outcome unless we put our energy behind it, we have the conscious awareness and motivation to slow down and eventually stop our harmful response pattern.
Practicing Detachment
The next step is practicing detachment. This means observing your thoughts and emotions as if you’re an external witness. Detachment doesn’t mean ignoring your feelings; rather, it involves understanding them without being controlled by them. Detachment allows you to navigate the thoughts and emotions and decide if you want to connect with them or not. When we are unable to practice detachment, our well-being becomes chained to our external reality and present moment circumstances. Meaning that if everything is going great externally, you feel good. But if everything is not going great, you feel bad. Not having control over our emotions in this way is a terrifying and anxiety ridden way to experience life, and seriously hampers our ability to manifest. Having our feelings connected to external factors in this way is why so many of us don’t feel free in our lives. And it is because, for most of us, our levels of happiness and contentment are largely dependent upon our environments and the moments of our daily lives. The way out of this challenging dynamic is through cultivating the observer state and living life through that perspective as much as possible – it is the key to engaging with life more authentically and responding to situations with wisdom rather than reacting out of habit.
To initiate this practice, when you notice a stressful thought or emotion, instead of getting swept away by it, take a step back and observe it. Ask yourself where it’s coming from and what it’s trying to tell you. This practice helps you maintain emotional equilibrium, dramatically decrease the levels of stress and anxiety you experience on a daily basis, and approach challenges with a calm, clear mindset – which all leads to optimal outcomes.
The Profound Benefits of Living from Your Higher Self
Clarity and Calmness
By living from the perspective of your higher self, you gain a clear, calm mindset that enhances decision-making and reduces stress. You can see situations from a broader perspective, transcend your negative emotions, and make choices that align with your true values and desires.
Emotional Equilibrium
You’ll find yourself more patient, compassionate, and less perturbed by the ups and downs of life. This shift allows you to deepen your relationships, as you are no longer emotionally tied to others’ reactions. For example, in conflicts with your children or partner, you can access your unconditional love and respond from a place of understanding and empathy.
Physical Well-being
Shifting into your higher self can lead to reduced anxiety and a greater sense of overall well-being. Your energy levels improve as you are no longer drained by unnecessary emotional expenditure. This physical vitality inspires a more active and fulfilling lifestyle, and supports bringing your body into balance as it relates to ideal general health, weight and energy levels.
Enhanced Relationships
Living from your higher self transforms your interactions with others. You become more present, attentive, and loving, fostering deeper connections and more harmonious relationships. This positive energy radiates outward, positively affecting those around you.
Integrating the Practice
To integrate this practice, start small. Begin practicing self-awareness and work on noticing yourself from the viewpoint of the outside observer. Gradually increase your frequency, and attempt to move yourself consistently into that perspective, especially as you experience the more complex aspects of your life.
By cultivating mindfulness and practicing detachment in this way, you can access the profound wisdom, clarity, and peace of your higher self, transforming your life from the inside out. Embrace this journey and allow your higher self to guide you towards a more fulfilling life experience.
