The inner voice constitutes our only and fundamental guide along the way. Reconnecting with her to listen to her again constitutes one of the most necessary steps today for humanity to recover more joyful, happy and peaceful lives.
In the following Psychology- Online article we will talk about what is the inner voice and how to listen to it. We are going to tell you what it means to listen to your inner voice, as well as different techniques and actions to connect with it. In addition, we will also explain how to change the inner critical voice by listening to the inner voice that awakens the universal consciousness of human beings.
The inner voice is that voice that, from the depths of our heart, it indicates to us at all times the most appropriate steps for each of the decisions that we are adopting on our way of life. It is a conciliatory voice that seeks to guide each person on the best path, so that the result of these steps benefits the same person and, in the same way, the whole environment of her.
According to some spiritual currents, the inner voice corresponds to the universal consciousness. For this reason, it is conciliatory because it does not only seek the benefit of each person, as individual and separate beings, but rather seeks the benefit of each and every human being as a whole. All people constitute an interrelated whole in which each consequence produced in a person irremediably affects the rest of humanity and the universe.
There have been civilizations in different historical epochs whose universal consciousness or inner voice it was the main guide that marked the path of life to follow. This consciousness, according to universal spirituality, constitutes the voice of its own caring divinity that, from within our hearts, guide our destinations. To better understand the concept, we recommend that you consult this article on the consciousness or consciousness: meaning, difference and examples.
According to this vision, it has been the move away from the worship of divinities and the creation of societies based on values away from the humanity (economy, consumption, hierarchical social level, etc.) which has caused a numbing of our conscience or inner voice.
What does it mean to listen to your inner voice
The inner voice lives in the depths of our heart. The development of the ratio, as a consequence of the development of less spiritual societies, has considerably closed our hearts. Therefore, to reconnect with our inner voice, an essential step is open our hearts and shut down rational functioning, or at least reduce it considerably.
How to connect with your inner voice
The opening of the heart presupposes the awakening of the conscience and, with it, the confidence of knowing that they are guided by the most correct and appropriate paths for each one at all times. To promote this openness of the heart and learn to listen to your inner voice, the following actions are advisable:
- Learn to breathe correctly, since an adequate breathing rhythm connects us with our interior. To achieve this, you can consult this article with different breathing exercises.
- Dismissing many of the current rhythms and habits of life: frantic and stressful rhythms, excessive and unnecessary consumerism, working hours Endless with no sensible aim beyond obtaining money to pay for properties acquired, etc.
- Cultivate new life habits more in line with a more conscious life and respectful with the universal conscience that, in reality, inhabits each and every living being on earth. Live more peacefully, in contact with animals and nature, eat healthy food and balanced, moving the body and keeping it active, just as it really needs to feel alive, etc.
- Carry out actions with a humanitarian sense and of disinterested service to others, beyond the pure and insensitive professional exchange for solely economic purposes.
- Cultivate those facets of life that give us peace and inner calm and, above all, to give it joyfully to our neighbors.
All these acts favor the return to human values such as humility, conciliation, kindness, service to others. others and the true joy that, inevitably, awakens the universal consciousness asleep within every being human.
If the conscience or inner voice is asleep, what is the voice that we hear within us and in what continuous way does it speak to us and determine our daily behavior? Is voice comes from our mind. It is an "artificial consciousness" created as a consequence of our life experiences.
From Psychology it is called "ego" and, insofar as it has been created as a result of experiences, deficiencies and unpleasant experiences, it is constituted in a set of irrational, biased and limiting discourses that tirelessly ring inside us whose indications usually lead us to discouraging situations.
Ultimately, the "ego" is a critical voice that, in the face of the inner voice of conscience, mutilates and mutilates us. damages our true potential human. In this article you will find more information about what is the ego and how does it operate.
How to silence the critical inner voice
The work of awakening the conscience and listening to the inner voice is made up of two fundamental steps to make it settle within us. At the end of the day, the inner voice is the only true one on our path, as I named in the story I wrote "What if we all had a Big Red Heart?" So, the steps to follow to make the inner voice prevail are:
- Follow the directions that allow our heart to beat at its own pace: those that allow us to maintain peace within ourselves.
- Disregard everything that oppresses our hearts, be it an external or internal voice. This inner voice is the critical voice of our mind that leads us down paths that are pitiable for our soul.
