How to Connect to Your Higher Self Through Hypnosis
When working with clients, I often guide them into a hypnotic state to connect with their higher self—a wise, loving version of themselves.
Here’s a powerful example:
Imagine your higher self standing in front of you. They radiate calm confidence and are here to offer you guidance. Through visualisation, you embody their energy, activating your subconscious mind.
This is not just imagination; it’s a powerful way to reprogram the mind. Aligning with your higher self creates a blueprint for embodying that version in real life, guiding you toward authenticity and alignment.
The Discomfort of Deconditioning
Stepping into your higher self often requires unlearning old patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you. These patterns, rooted in the subconscious mind, were created to protect or help you survive but may now feel limiting.
Example:
Perhaps you’ve believed your whole life that you’re not a creative person because you didn’t fit society’s definition of an artist. In reality, you’re incredibly creative when planning events or solving complex problems.
Deconditioning involves peeling back these layers and reconnecting with your true essence, owning your gifts, and stepping into them—even when they challenge societal norms or projections from others.
My Story:
I spent much of my life being told who I was:
• “You’re too sensitive.”
• “You wouldn’t like that.”
• “You’re academic, not creative.”
These projections shaped my identity until I began peeling back the layers to discover who I truly am. This process required courage, self-awareness, and nurturing.
Ego vs. Higher Self Energy
A common misconception is that we must get rid of the ego. But the ego, when balanced, is essential—it acts as a bridge to the higher self. The key is distinguishing between a healthy and unhealthy ego.
Signs You’re in Ego Energy:
1. Fear-Based Thinking: Driven by insecurity or control.
2. Attachment to Outcomes: Worthiness tied to results.
3. Comparison and Competition: Feeling superior or inferior.
4. Defensiveness: Resistance to change or feedback.
5. Emotional Reactivity: Quick, charged reactions.
6. Seeking Validation: Craving approval or fearing judgment.
7. Scarcity Mindset: Operating from lack or fear of loss.
Signs You’re in Higher Self Energy:
1. Love-Based Thinking: Decisions rooted in compassion and authenticity.
2. Detachment from Outcomes: Trusting the process
3. Acceptance and Unity: Free from judgment or comparison.
4. Openness and Curiosity: Welcoming growth and feedback.
5. Emotional Regulation: Calm, present responses.
6. Inner Validation: Worth rooted in self-awareness.
7. Abundance Mindset: Gratitude and flow replace scarcity.
Shifting from Ego to Higher Self Energy
1. Pause and Reflect: Ask, “Is this fear or love driving me?”
2. Practice Mindfulness: Stay present and aware.
3. Connect to Inner Truth: Journal, meditate, or reflect.
4. Focus on Service: Shift from “What can I get?” to “How can I give?”
5. Trust and Surrender: Let go of control and embrace flow.
6. Elevate Your Energy: Use practices like gratitude, nature, or breathwork.
Identity as a Tool for Alignment
While your higher self is timeless, identity is fluid. Think of it as the clothing your higher self wears—a way to express deeper wisdom in daily life.
The Empowering Part:
You can consciously adopt an identity that aligns with your higher self and your current goals.
For example:
• If your higher self values creativity, adopt the identity of “the artist.”
• If your higher self values money and freedom you might adopt the identity of a successful "entrepreneur
Exploring archetypes and trying them on can help you align your actions with your higher self’s energy.
Practical Steps to Embody Your Higher Self
1. Visualisation + Mental Rehearsal:
Spend a few minutes daily visualising your higher self—how they walk, talk, think, and feel.
2. Journaling Prompts:
• Describe your ideal future self in detail.
• What qualities or strengths stand out?
• What habits and routines support your growth?
• How does your ideal self handle challenges?
3. Create a Pinterest Board:
Use visuals, colours, and quotes that capture the essence of your higher self.
4. Ask, “What Would My Higher Self Do?
Use this question as a guide for decisions.
5. Use Hypnotherapy:
Reprogram your subconscious with beliefs that support your higher self.
6. Focus on Emotional States:
Feel the emotions your higher self would embody and bring them into the present.
7. Take Small Aligned Actions:
Start with one small step daily to align with your higher self.
By integrating these practices, you’ll build a strong connection to your higher self, navigating life with greater clarity, confidence, and alignment. Your higher self isn’t a distant ideal—it’s an ever-present guide, ready to support you as you create a life rooted in authenticity and purpose.
