It’s something beyond our rational, logical and thinking mind. This is the higher self. Donna Bond, author of Original Wisdom: Harness the Power of the Authentic You, differentiates our Human Self—the one consumed with navigating day-to-day reality—from our Higher Self—which is the truest, wisest, calmest core of who we are. By integrating the wholeness of your Higher Self and your Human Self, you will transform your consciousness and empower your life from the inside out.   Guest Bio Donna Bond is a Spiritual advisor, Business and Life coach, and author of Original Wisdom: Harness the Power of the Authentic You.
