Meeting Your Higher Self — Not the Fantasy, But the Embodied Truth

In this tender, grounding episode, you invite listeners to shed the illusion of the “perfect” Higher Self — the one curated by performance, projection, and spiritual aesthetic — and to meet the real one: the breath-based, barefoot, honest version that lives within each of us.

This is not the Higher Self who floats above daily life in glowing robes. She lives in the rawness — the hesitation before people-pleasing, the tears in the shower, the nervous tremble before speaking truth.

You name the seductive safety of spiritual performance — how we chase rituals, radiance, and control — only to realize presence is never something to strive toward… it’s something to return to.

Through vulnerable stories — a moment of doubt after receiving a message from an ex, the shame of financial need while being seen as “spiritual,” the pull to perform even in ceremony — you remind us: the Higher Self doesn’t bypass our humanity. She holds it with reverence.

You guide listeners back into body-based knowing — with hand-to-womb check-ins, water rituals, and quiet questions — and close with a channeled message that is both cosmic and cellular: You are not failing. You are remembering.

This episode is a reclamation of the Higher Self not as an ascension, but as a homecoming.

Reflection Questions

1. When have you felt pressure to perform your healing or your divinity? What did it cost you?
2. What version of your “Higher Self” have you been striving to become — and does she feel honest?
3. Where in your body do you feel your truth most clearly? Your no? Your yes?
4. Can you recall a moment when your real Higher Self whispered through discomfort, not perfection? What did she say?

ABOUT RACHEAL | AYNI THE MEDICINE WOMAN

Racheal, known as Ayni the Medicine Woman, is a sacred space holder, intuitive healer, and guide for women seeking to remember who they are beyond the roles they’ve been told to play. Rooted in the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the rhythms of the menstrual cycle, and the sacred art of energetic healing, she gently leads others through deep emotional, ancestral, and spiritual transformation.

After 12 years of giving endlessly in a marriage that left her depleted, Racheal reclaimed her truth through a journey of self-remembrance—learning to honor her needs, rest before collapse, and receive with grace. The name Ayni came to her during a time of great inner winter, as a sacred reminder that healing happens through balance: between giving and receiving, strength and softness, self and others.

Today, she supports women in embodying their truth, reconnecting with their cycles, and creating space for their own care—so they no longer break themselves to serve the world, but rise from overflow.
