Have you ever noticed that when you set a clear intention, something of a lower nature inside of your begins to overthink, interfere or sabotage your best efforts?
We often respond by being at odds with ourselves, rather than trying to embrace and understand why we think this way about ourselves. By being more self aware, looking deep inside and embracing yourself, you can move to a higher vibration intellectually, emotionally, and even spiritually.
What is the Divine Self?
In short, it's you.
The Divine Self is basically what you are trying to become: the best version of yourself.
But what does that look like for you?
Ask yourself: Are there areas of your life that need improvement? Perhaps you push people away and run from a deeper connection with someone because you're afraid of getting hurt again, or you avoid expressing your emotions for fear of being ridiculed and shamed for how you feel.
But ask yourself why you are like that, and really reflect deep within yourself why you are that way. Working on yourself and your past traumas can open up your path of self discovery, leading you to your Higher Self (the best version of yourself) and showing you your full spiritual potential. It can also deepen and solidify connections with others in your life too.
Doing the Inner Work
This path takes more than just simple meditation and some time alone with your thoughts. It means embracing everything with an open heart and not being afraid of what's to come. Put your trust in the universe or whatever God you believe in.
It is a spiritual journey and not an easy one. When you do the inner work, it will bring up past traumas, negative experiences and toxic attachments that your lower self would rather ignore and keep buried away.
For example, if there is something you need to let go of but just can't no matter how hard you try, ask yourself why you can't let go of it. Would it make you feel better if you stayed in a relationship with a narcissist or a job that drains you? No! But your lower self can't seem to let that go, because it's something familiar.
Once you learn to let go and put your trust in the universe, you will feel much better for it. What's meant for you will be for you, and what's not was just a lesson. The universe has ways of getting rid of all the bad things to make way for much better things.
Let Go and Trust the Universe
Your Higher or Divine Self is who you are on the inside. It is the self that exists at an even higher level than your soul and is the essence of your being. Through your Higher Self, you can manifest your highest path in life.
By letting go and trusting your path in life, you will gain a greater ability to recognise limiting and restricting behavioural patterns and energies. If you're in a toxic relationship, cut the ties - don't stick around hoping things will get better with this person. Move on and find someone who will uplift you and make you want to be the best version of yourself. Connecting with your higher self enables you to have the power to release these energies.
Your Divine Self is constantly trying to push you to be the best version of yourself and is showing you an easier, better, and more joyful way to live if you just open yourself up and trust in the power of the universe and divine timing.
Ways to Connect with Divine Energy and my Divine Self
Divine Energy is a force that connects everything in the universe and transcends the physical world. Aligning with the Higher Self allows you to access ancient wisdom and spiritual growth – leading to a deeper understanding of your purpose.
Some ways to connect with your Divine Self:
Meditation, prayer
Spend time in nature
Recognise your mistakes
Self-acceptance
Self-reflection
Feel your feelings
Connect with life-minded people
How to Know You're Experiencing this Connection
One way to know if you're in the proces of connecting to your higher self is if you experience synchronicities, like angel numbers (222, 11:11), have vivid dreams, or see things that remind you of something. Others have noted they don't feel as distracted by things around them.
When you do the inner work, open your heart, release any negative energy and free yourself from anything that restricts you, you'll have the strength and wisdom to continue on your spiritual path to be the best version of yourself.
