An Introduction To Spiritual Coaching and Hypnosis

What is the True Self?

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself—even while doing “all the right things”—you’re not alone. Many people who seek out spiritual coaching and hypnosis aren’t broken, lost, or failing. They’re remembering something essential.

That something is often referred to as the True Self.

In this article, we’ll explore what the True Self is, how people experience it in meditation and hypnosis, and why reconnecting with it can bring clarity, confidence, and a deep sense of coming home. If you’re curious about inner guidance, spiritual awakening, or working with the subconscious mind in a grounded, practical way, this will give you a solid orientation.

What Do We Mean by “True Self”?

You may encounter many names for this idea: Higher Self, True Nature, Buddha Nature, Universal Consciousness, the Divine, Awakening Mind, or simply the Self.

For the purposes of spiritual coaching and hypnosis, I like the term True Self because it is intentionally simple—as well as compassionate.

Many of us carry layers of shame, guilt, unworthiness, trauma, or conditioning that create the feeling that we’ve somehow lost ourselves. The idea of a “higher” or “perfect” self can feel like more pressure. True Self, by contrast, points to something that has never been damaged or missing. It's simply the truth of who you are.

Your True Self is who you already are beneath conditioning. It does not need fixing, improving, or earning.

This work begins from a radical but deeply relieving premise: The True Self is already whole, complete, and intact just as it is.

The True Self as the Source of Being

At its deepest level, the True Self is not an object, role, or identity. It is the Source of your being—the awareness in which all experience arises.

In this Source:

• There is no fundamental separation

• No inner division into “better” or “worse” parts

• No requirement to prove your worth

The True Self has no fixed form, location, or personality. It isn’t confined to the body, and it isn’t somewhere “out there” that you have to reach. It is non-local consciousness—both the perceiver of experience and the field in which experience appears.

It is timeless, ageless, and not bound by past or future.And because it has no limits, it is paradoxically everywhere at once.

Why We Lose Touch With the True Self

The ordinary mind is very good at navigating the three-dimensional world. To do that, it relies on distinctions and measurements: right and wrong, success and failure, past and future, good and bad.

This isn’t a mistake—it’s how humans survive.

But when we unconsciously assume this way of perceiving reality is all that exists, life begins to feel like a linear struggle through time. We identify exclusively with our thoughts, emotions, roles, and histories.

From that place, the True Self can seem distant or abstract.

So when we talk about “reconnecting” with the True Self in hypnosis or meditation, something important needs to be said:

You are not going anywhere. You are not becoming someone else. You are remembering what has always been present.

Spiritual hypnosis simply creates a bridge from the conditioned mind to this deeper awareness.

How the True Self Is Experienced in Hypnosis and Meditation

Although the True Self is ultimately beyond description, people often experience recognizable qualities when they connect with it in altered states of awareness.

Light and Energy

Many experience the True Self as a clear, radiant, intelligent light. Light is a powerful metaphor because even modern physics can’t fully explain it—it exists as both particle and wave, bridging the physical and non-physical.

Inner Knowing and Intelligence

The True Self is often felt as a quiet, steady knowing. Just as your body knows how to breathe and heal, this deeper intelligence has a panoramic view of your life—without judgment.

Unconditional Love

One of the most consistent experiences of the True Self is unconditional love—not sentimentality, but a fundamental orientation toward your well-being and freedom from suffering.

Even behaviors we later regret are often misguided attempts to return to this sense of safety and wholeness.

Working With the True Self Through Spiritual Coaching and Hypnosis

In hypnosis and guided meditation, the approach is gentle and experiential.

Rather than forcing insight, you’re invited to:

• Relax the nervous system

• Shift attention inward

• Allow awareness to settle beneath habitual thinking

A common entry point is imagining the True Self as a radiant, loving presence or light that fills the heart and naturally expands throughout the body. From there, the experience may unfold as:

• A sense of deep reassurance

• Emotional release

• Spontaneous clarity

• Inner dialogue or guidance

• Or simply profound stillness

Many people are surprised by how effortlessly solutions emerge when they stop trying to figure things out and instead listen inwardly.

Living in Alignment With the True Self

As your connection with the True Self strengthens, clarity tends to follow.

You begin to recognize which desires, fears, and beliefs are conditioned—and which are genuinely yours. This can lead to surprising insights. Goals that once felt urgent may lose their grip. New possibilities may emerge that feel more natural and aligned.

Rather than being a loss, this often feels like relief.

A quiet recognition arises:Of course. This has always been true.

Simple Practices to Deepen Your True Self Connection

If you’re exploring this on your own, a few supportive practices include:

• Short daily self-hypnosis or meditation

• Gentle relaxation or breath-work

• Light or presence-based visualization

• Placing a hand on the heart and pausing to listen inwardly

• Journaling insights after sessions without over-analyzing

Consistency matters more than intensity. The True Self doesn’t respond to striving—but it responds immediately to sincerity.

Curious About Exploring This Work Together?

Spiritual hypnosis and coaching offer a structured, supportive way to reconnect with your True Self, access inner guidance, and release patterns that no longer serve you.

If this article resonates, the next step is simple.

👉 Schedule a discovery call to talk about what you’re experiencing, what you’re seeking, and whether this approach feels like a good fit. There’s no pressure—just a grounded conversation about what might genuinely support you right now.

Your True Self hasn’t gone anywhere.

Sometimes it just helps to have a guide to help you remember.
