What is the Higher Self? (Conscious Mind vs Subconscious Mind)

Let’s talk about something I get asked a lot in sessions — “What exactly is the Higher Self?”

Most of us are familiar with the conscious mind. It’s the part of us that’s thinking, planning, doubting, second-guessing, overthinking (you know... all the fun stuff 😅). It’s the part of you that brushes your teeth, checks your calendar, and wonders what’s for dinner.

But in my opinion and experience, the conscious mind is also the conditioned mind. It’s the part of you that was shaped by your childhood caregivers, your environment, and your life experiences. It holds all the rules you were taught about what’s “right,” “wrong,” “safe,” or “risky” — whether those rules are true or not. It’s how we end up carrying beliefs and patterns that no longer serve us.

Beneath all that noise is something much deeper — your subconscious mind. And beyond even that... is what we call the Higher Self.

So, what is the Higher Self?

Your Higher Self is the all-knowing, unconditionally loving, wise version of you. It’s the eternal part of your soul that holds your truth, your purpose, your healing, and your connection to divine guidance.

It’s not separate from you — it is you. The real you. The part that’s been through many lifetimes, that knows why you're here, and what you came to learn, heal, and experience.

Conscious Mind vs. Subconscious Mind

Let’s break it down simply:

• Conscious Mind (The Conditioned Mind): Logical, analytical, and based on what you’ve been taught or programmed to believe. This is where your habits, fears, and survival-mode thinking live.

• Subconscious Mind: Stores emotions, beliefs, patterns, trauma — and serves as the bridge to your Higher Self. This is where deep healing begins.

• Higher Self: Infinite awareness, spiritual wisdom, divine love. It knows what your soul truly needs and is always guiding you — especially when you quiet the noise.

So how do we connect with the Higher Self?

In deep states of relaxation — like in QHHT (Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique) sessions or guided regressions — we can move past the conscious mind and access the deeper layers of awareness. This is where people often connect with their Higher Self, receive guidance, healing, and sometimes... big answers.

We all have access to it. You don’t need to be “special” or psychic. You just need space, trust, and willingness to go inward.

And that’s exactly what I help people do in session.

If you’re ready to connect more deeply with your own Higher Self, I’d love to guide you. It’s truly life-changing.
