Higher Self Meditation: A Cozy, Guided Practice for Lightworkers

10/13/2025

8 Comments

 

​As a lightworker, you may find it difficult to stay grounded and clear, or feel loved and held. You may struggle with fear or overthinking.

Higher self meditation will help you with all of the above. It connects you with the wiser, kinder part of you that does not forget who you are, even when life feels challenging.

Picture this. You are walking along a soft, tree-lined path. A fog hangs low. You have been walking a long time.

Then a warm feeling rises in your chest. That warmth is your inner light. Not out there, but inside you.

When you follow that light, the fog thins and your steps become more and more certain. That is the heart of this practice.

​You can start feeling more grounded today.

This meditation fits into real life, with real stress and real mess. All you need to bring is your breath and a willingness to remember.

​From there, guidance and peace show up in simple moments like morning tea or a pause before moving on to the next part of your day.


Higher Self Meditation Will Remind You Who You Are


​Holding space for others can feel like a lot. It's all too easy to slide into survival mode, where stress runs the show.

Higher self meditations will shift you out of that pattern. You'll remember that you are more than your stress. And you'll feel the grounding light that has always been with you.

Think of it as switching lanterns. At first, you cling to an outer light that feels weak and seems far away.

Then you feel your heart open up and you realize your heart has been the lantern all along. That single reframe changes everything. You stop chasing peace outside yourself and start listening within.

This practice will help you respond to your old wounds with compassion. 

You'll let your ​protective parts watch from the sidelines, as you invite a kinder leader to step forward. The result is quiet strength, a calmer center and clearer choices.

Lightworkers thrive on daily rituals that help them stay connected. Lighting a candle in the morning. A check-in at night to notice whether love or fear led your day.

With meditation and other daily rituals, you'll begin to live from your higher self more often than you did before.

​Higher self meditation can dissolve fear and doubt by bringing in warmth and presence.

each day, as you begin your meditation, breathe deeply, and feel her presence softening your shoulders. Offer thanks to the part of you that has tried to protect you. Tell her it's okay to rest for a while. 

This can be how healing begins. You stop arguing with your pain. Instead, you connect with your light and let it fill you.

In that light, tension loosens and the story you have held onto loses its grip. You feel more whole, even if the feelings are still moving through you.

Daily Embodiment as a Healer


​The more you practice, the more your nervous system will trust your grounded peace.

You'll notice clearer intuition in conversations with others. You'll respond with compassion, not judgment.

Everyday moments will become portals. Sipping tea, folding laundry, stepping outside to watch the sky. Each pause can invite your higher self to be with you.

You'll notice more grounded moments and over time, getting grounded and steeping yourself in peace will become a normal part of your lifestyle.

Create a Cozy Place for
Your Higher Self Meditation


Choose a chair or floor cushion that supports your body. Pull a soft blanket over your legs. Light a candle if you like. 

I think that the covering up we do with blankets or throws must remind us of being held or swaddled, because it is so soothing!

Before you begin, help your nervous system settle. Breathe in gently and let a longer breath out. Place one hand on your heart and one on your belly.

Feel your weight in the seat. If nature helps, bring in a simple element. A plant on the table. A bowl of water. A window cracked for fresh air.

Think cozy and repeatable.

If it helps, wrap yourself in a shawl or hoodie. Physical comfort tells your body that it is safe.

​Choose Comforting Rituals to Ground Yourself

Warm tea in your favorite mug. Let the steam greet your face. Soft lighting. A candle or small lamp that reminds you to focus.

Do you have a favorite scent? Maybe a drop of essential oil, or the smell of your tea.

Find a comforting object to hold when you feel pulled into stress. Or give yourself a minute of sky-gazing. Nature regulates without words.

Each of these simple cues, especially when repeated, tell your body you're safe and can help you feel grounded.

​This is a soothing, forest-inspired practice you can use anytime you need calm, clarity, or comfort.

Step Into the Path of Remembering

Close your eyes. Let your breath settle. Inhale slowly, exhale longer.

See yourself standing in a quiet forest at first light. The sky is soft. Fog hangs near the ground.

Feel the earth strong and steady beneath your feet as light blooms in your heart.

With each inhale, that inner light brightens. With each exhale, tension thins like mist.

Notice two voices inside. One pushes, worries, and tries to keep control. The other is calm and kind. Let the kind voice draw near. ​Place a hand on your heart and say, closer.

Breathe as if your higher self is breathing with you. Let your shoulders drop. Feel your jaw loosening.

Your back lengthens. The path ahead becomes a bit more clear, even if some fog remains. 

​Meet and Merge with Your Higher Self

Ahead, a luminous mirror appears among the trees. Its surface shimmers like water.

Walk toward it at an easy pace. Stand before it and see a radiant version of you, grounded and warm.

Notice how she holds her body. The softness in her eyes. The grounded way she stands.

Lift your hands and place them on the mirror. Feel warmth beneath your palms. Let the barrier melt.

Step forward and mentally become one with her kindness and strength. Breathe as her. Spine tall, chest open, face soft. Let your breath say, this is home.

​Bring to mind a simple moment from your day. Maybe a tense email, a hard conversation, or a busy errand.

See yourself in that scene with her joined to you.

Watch how your posture shifts, how your tone softens, how boundaries stay clear. The scene may not change, but you do. Let that be enough.

Bring Her Presence Into Your Day

Let the forest begin to fade. Keep the warmth in your chest. Take three slow breaths. When you are ready, open your eyes. Place your hands on your heart for one more quiet moment.

Anchor the experience with a tiny action. Write a line in your journal: One way I lived as my higher self today was….

​Or light a candle and dedicate the day to that grounded presence. As you move through your day, remember this union is always within you. If you feel yourself forgetting, just pause like before, and say, closer.



​       The Higher Self Takeaway

Higher self meditation brings you back to the truth, again and again, until it becomes a part of you.

As a lightworker or healer, you need that kind of grounded support. With a cozy space, a clear intention, and a few deep breaths, you can make this connection a lifestyle.

Beautiful meditation, Jeanine!

I've aligned with moving meditation for decades, since taking Tai Chi in the 80s. Mindful movement initiates the necessary brain shifts for us neuro- spicy antsy folks!

As i age, I'm better at sitting - and i love doing weekly Reiki meditations with Bruce Taylor/ Roots of Life Reiki! 🙏

Oh that sounds wonderful, Nadya! You know, I tried Tai Chi and I liked it but I wasn't able to stick with it, for some reason.

Thank you for all your advice Jeanine, I am getting better through the fog. I meditate both morning and evening just before bed. But I also find the walks with Snowball and along the beach are super helpful. My mind stops swirling and I just listen to the quiet waves.

You're so welcome, Martha! I can see how walking Snowball and walks along the beach could be very soothing. And I'm so glad you have a regular practice.

So weird you didn't get my comment. I said something like I am not good at focusing on meditation but I wouldn't mind meeting my higher self.

That *is* weird! I never understand why that randomly happens to people. I so appreciate your coming back to comment again!! By the way, there's a free AI tool at the bottom of my higher meditation page, and it lets you ask for a personalized meditation. So you could ask for one where you meet your higher self.
