Finding Yourself

Many people spend their entire lives searching for a "sense of self." They use it as a reason to go on extended vacations, attend colleges, and take interesting jobs. Though all of these things can be beneficial to leading a full life, the fact is that you do not have to do any of these things in order to "find yourself." Your higher self is always there, but it is not something that you can consciously understand. It is separate from your thoughts (the constant voices playing in your head) as well as your emotions. Your higher self exists on a different plane, and it only can come through when you stop searching for it. All you need to do to find yourself is to realize that you do not understand yourself and never can. You are comprised of a greater energy than words or thoughts or feelings can express, but being yourself is as easy as relaxing and clearing your mind. Allow your higher self to come through by disassociating from your worries and fears. Sit for a few moments and clear your mind while focusing on your breathing. This meditative technique will almost immediately give you a feeling of peace and well being. This is an expression of your higher self.
