Surrendering to the guidance of your Higher Self
I used to think that the Universe guided me when my life was orchestrating in new, unexpected ways. Because I simply didn’t know how else to name this guidance.
I was talking about life showing me signs, synchronicities, and perfect timing… like something out there was organizing the whole thing and moving the pieces for me. Aligning people, places, moments.
And I still believe in that.
But recently I embodied something that completely shifted how I see this guidance.
A few months ago, something clicked inside me while I was riding my bike — not as a thought, but as a deep knowing in my body.
That unknown guiding force was my Higher Self.
An intelligence within but beyond me
Life is full of energy currents, universal laws, spirit guides, beings, codes, timelines… there is an entire ecosystem of support always around us.
We also have our intuition and clair senses.
Yes — life is guiding us.
Yes — beautiful energies are supporting us.
But after years of working on my self-healing journey, I finally got to embody the fact that the most intimate, most precise, most personal guidance comes from my Higher Self.
I had always been putting this guidance into the category of The Universe.
This realization that it was my Higher Self felt like a homecoming and liberation.
In that moment, I cultivated a really deep sense of a new type of inner safety within me — that a wiser aspect of me takes care of me also.
That changed everything.
I started trusting the guidance, life, and myself more.
What is the difference between the Higher Self and the Soul?
→ The Soul is the eternal part of you. The essence. Who you are beyond this lifetime, beyond roles, beyond any form. Your unique frequency exists everywhere and always.
→ The Higher Self is like the operational voice of your Soul in this lifetime. It’s the part of you that is still connected to you human experience — but sees it from a much higher perspective. It’s the version of you that already knows where you are going, what you are learning, and what’s aligned for you right now.
Surrendering to the unexpected twists of life
But how did I get to this realization?
Let’s go back a few months.
Ever since I had started to embody living the 6D energy on this Earth, I had been asked to surrender more to the unknown and the flow of life. And let go of control.
I have been practicing that already a lot over the past years. BecauseI have been living a nomad lifestyle.
But during the past year, there have been many occasions when I had no idea where I was going to be the next week — where I was needed, what was the best place for me and my soul, and with whom I should spend my time.
I faced a lot of uncertainty. But the more I went through those moments of not knowing in which city or even country I would be next week — the more my life started to orchestrate in very unexpected and beautiful ways.
What I started to notice was that every time I surrendered to the unknown, the places that appeared on my path were always better than what my mind had been planning. I was honestly amazed by it. What was going on here? And why did it always happen so last minute — like life waited until just a week before to open up the new path for me?
It was really stressful.
But I learned to trust and surrender. I went through the same lesson over and over again. And every time my trust became a little bit stronger.
This kept going on for months — yes, months — and the more it happened, the more I started asking myself, what was really going on. Why was this happening? Why couldn’t I live like everyone else?
Until that one bike ride.
Later I read that this is what people report 6D energies to be like.
What is 6D Energy?
3D is the physical world: the reality of form and matter.
4D is the mental, emotional, and energetic layer.
5D is unconditional love, unity consciousness, and oneness.
6D is the space of pure creation.
It’s the dimension of your Higher Self. It means you become available to be led by the highest, clearest, most loving part of yourself. In 6D you are not limited by linear thinking anymore and you stop living from the mind.
Living in 4D, 5D, and/or 6D doesn’t mean that you escape the human experience or that you only spend time in one realm. Based on your current energy and many other things, you navigate between different dimensions.
How to start to surrender to your Higher Self?
It starts with remembering that there’s already a version of you who knows exactly where you’re going—a version who sees the whole map and is weaving your life in ways your mind could never plan.
Your Higher Self is always with you; you simply need to ask for guidance.
In my own experience, I had to build trust that this part of me was within me. As you noticed, I had to surrender to the uncertainty before I could hear the guidance.
I practiced it a lot, and I still do today.
After that came the embodiment.
And even more practice.
Meditate to meet your Higher Self, ask for guidance, be curious, heal, and walk your path of self-healing.
Heal with me for a sec.
Take a deep breath and pause for a moment. Then answer this question:
Where in my life am I still trying to control the path instead of trusting my Higher Self?
