What is my Higher self?

woman hands raise in air

Are you someone who works on your gut instinct? Do you listen to the feelings inside and make opinions based on how you feel about them? If so you are someone who listens to your higher self.

A higher self is that innate part of you the powerful inner guide inside of you that works for your best interests. When you are aligned in life, that is your higher self, working for your best interests, in a positive, productive way so you live the life you want to be living.

The higher self is associated with multiple belief systems. It is seen as an omnipotent, intelligent, conscious being that is a person's true self.

How do you connect with your higher self?

You don’t need to be some Eastern guru full of ancient wisdom and learning to tap into your higher self. Anyone can learn ways to connect with their higher self, it just takes patience and practice. This is something that takes time to master but if you are willing to spend the time and energy on this practice, you will be able to connect with your higher self.

To be connected to your higher self, you need to become more aligned with yourself. This may seem to be a strange paradox, as many believe to be connected with your higher self, you are already in alignment.

It is not unusual to shed friends as you move through your life. Over time people change and grow in different directions. When you are more aligned with your higher self, you may find that your friendship circle no longer resonates with you in the same way.

You may begin to seek out more like-minded individuals who think and act in the same way as you. This is no one’s fault, it is just a sign you are moving in other directions.

5. When you are feeling unhappy in your career or job

Feeling unhappy or dissatisfied with your career or job is a sure sign your higher self is talking to you. Often you will take a job because it aligns with your core values and beliefs and you are happy and content to continue working.

Every one of us dreams when we sleep. You will have many dreams during your lifetime, some you will remember and some you won’t. Some will be vivid and some will be hazy.

Some of your dreams will be a jumble of images that seem to make no sense while others will seem to offer you real clarity and understanding.

The psychiatrist Carl Jung believed that dreams were a way of our higher selves talking to us. He discussed this in his work on Dream Analysis. Jung believed that dreams are a way for the unconscious mind to communicate with the conscious mind.

If you have begun to have vivid dreams with messages coming through, this could be a sign your higher self is communicating with you. Listen to the meanings coming through your dreams and try to understand how they fit into your day-to-day life and then react accordingly.

7. You develop a focused purpose in your life

When you have a focused purpose in your life, this is a sign your higher self is talking to you.

Focus is important to living your life in alignment with your hopes and dreams and your values and beliefs. Your higher self will help you to stay focused and connected to your true purpose in your life.

8. You see the repetition of certain numbers in your life

When you are in touch with your higher self you will begin to see certain numbers repeated over and over. This could happen anywhere, car registration plates, telephone numbers, till receipts or ticket machines.
