One of the most common questions I hear from clients is:
"How do I know if what I’m receiving is spiritual guidance or just my own thoughts?"
It’s a powerful question—and one that has the potential to unlock your inner magic. Let’s explore this together and uncover the transformative differences between the voice of the ego and the whispers of Spirit. ✨
Understanding Ego vs. Spiritual Guidance
The ego, though misunderstood (and often a bit dramatic 😅), plays a role in keeping us safe. It’s like that overprotective friend who always says, "Are you sure this is a good idea?" The ego loves comfort zones, but it often operates from fear and attachment, creating heavy, anxious, or restrictive feelings. You might hear your ego say things like:
"What if this doesn’t work out?"
"You’re not ready for this."
"Stay where it’s safe and familiar."
On the other hand, spiritual guidance is the voice of your higher self—gentle, loving, and oh-so-wise. 🌿 Unlike the ego, it doesn’t push or demand; instead, it whispers from a place of trust and curiosity. Spiritual guidance might sound like:
"What if this brings you closer to your truth?"
"You are capable of so much more than you think."
"Trust the unfolding of your path."
Here’s the secret: Ego shouts, but Spirit whispers. The ego creates urgency and doubt, while spiritual guidance feels calm, expansive, and rooted in love. 💛
How to Deepen Your Connection to Spiritual Guidance
Want to turn up the volume on those divine whispers? Here’s how:
Meditation 🧘♀️: Create space to sit in stillness and observe your thoughts. When ego-driven stories arise, see them from a higher perspective and let them float by like clouds. Meditation helps you tune in to Spirit.
Ask for Clarity 💭: When faced with a decision, ask yourself, "Is this coming from fear or love?" Spirit’s guidance is always rooted in love—never fear or judgment.
Feel the Energy ✨: Ego thoughts feel heavy and constricting. Spiritual guidance feels light, open, and loving. Notice the difference.
Nature Therapy 🌲: Go outside! Nature quiets the ego’s chatter and amplifies your connection to Spirit. Plus, fresh air just feels good for the soul.
Discernment Practice 🔮: When you notice the ego speaking, pause. Instead of reacting, ask, "What’s the higher perspective here?" Spirit’s guidance will always encourage growth, even if it’s uncomfortable at first.
